Without any surprises, Xifrin and Trodeu were the first ones to arrive at the Space Station. They did that before anyone else even reached half of the climbing distance. Well... anyone but Linfel, who was already on the 750km mark by the time the first Level Four Maguses and Familiars arrived at the 500km.
There was a private room inside a different Space Station from where Linfel's group was taking their test. There, a woman watched the examiners climbing the Space Elevator with curiosity. Her name was Alexandra, a minor elder of the Ventis Sect.
All the planets that had exams of the Ventis Sect had to have at least one Minor Elder or someone more important overseeing the entire process. They might be Maguses, or they might be Familiars. Alexandra, obviously, was a Magus. And, for this round, Alexandra was the one in charge.
