"What do you think of the students this year, Professor Vastion?" Professor Olim's voice boomed through the colosseum, amplified by the microphone. His tone was light, almost playful, as he addressed the stern-faced professor beside him.
Vastion took a moment to consider the question, his sharp eyes scanning the massive projection of the trial grounds. "It seems we have some interesting fellows this year," he said finally, his voice measured and deliberate. "Not to mention, many of last year's students are showing decent progress in their respective paths."
"I see," Olim replied, nodding thoughtfully. When it became clear that Vastion had no further commentary, Olim turned to the other professor seated beside him. "Professor Cymoria, are you particularly interested in anyone's progress this year?"
