Luviya only had three exams, so the parchment she received was quite short. Shard, on the other hand, who had to take 18 exams at once, received a parchment so long that it could completely wrap the orange cat Mia, who was quietly lying on the windowsill, into a tight ball and still have leftovers.
There were no breaks during the Saint Byrons exams. The test started at nine in the morning, and students could leave once they finished answering questions. However, if they didn't finish, they couldn't leave their seats even for physiological needs.
Shard knew this in advance, so starting from nine o'clock on Saturday morning, he engaged in a mental conversation with the voice in his head while fervently writing. That evening, Miss Luisa had invited him to the opera. The 18 exams were challenging, as no exam was particularly light, and if he didn't want to miss his first visit to the opera house, he couldn't afford to slack off at all.
