The third day at the monastery felt different from the others. After breakfast, students gathered in the main hall, talking quietly among themselves. Everyone seemed nervous about what was coming next. Renard could hear bits of conversation—some students wondering what would happen, others trying to guess what kind of magic they might have.
Today was the day they would test everyone's magic.
Unlike the boring lessons from the past two days, this test would show what type of magic each student was good at. It would decide what they studied next and who they would train with. Some students looked excited, others looked scared.
Elder Miriam stood at the front of the room, but she wasn't alone. Three other teachers stood with her—two men and one woman. These teachers knew different types of magic and would decide which students should learn what. They all looked serious, like this was very important.
