Mattius was sitting in his office reading the latest report of the staff stationed at the field leading into the Evershire Forest. So far, only one team has given up.
Students were allowed to leave the practical exam, which was the Hunting Trip, if they felt concerned for their safety. Most chose to finish the exam, but there were those who couldn't. They left the choice up to the students to decide if they could fight or not, or if an injury they had sustained was severe enough to leave the forest or if they wanted to continue on with the exam.
The Communication Orb on the shelf behind him lit up with an incoming call. Mattius turned around and grabbed it, pouring a little bit of his mana into it. The screen flickered before an image appeared, bright and clear.
