Test

"A test? What kind of test?" asked Emery curiously.

Magus Ramora inwardly smiled when she heard that. She didn't say anything more and instead immediately led Emery to a long hallway with a dozen doors. Some of them were closed while others were wide open; apparently, the ones being closed meant it was currently occupied by the privileged acolytes.

The two of them walked past the closed doors and into the open door they came to first. Emery looked at the plaque beside the doorway and saw it was "Room 7". 

Entering inside, he saw three people wearing the staff uniforms already waiting.

Immediately after, as if they had rehearsed it a thousand times, one of the staff members told Emery to undress while the others prepared the instruments needed for the test. Afterwards, he was asked to lie in a tube-like chamber at the back of the room.
