When Evan arrived in the hall, the exam was far from the end. At this point, there were only about half of the students there. Even considering the speed with which Draven handled the applicants, there would still be quite a long wait.
Evan sat in the back row and thought to himself: <Sana bragged about what a good teacher she had, I wonder who will be my teacher?>
Evan was a loner and liked to act solely on his own volition, but he knew he needed a wise mentor. A good teacher could help Evan to become stronger and teach him how to overcome obstacles. Evan needed the experience and knowledge of someone who had already seen a lot in this world.
Of course, Zak was such a person too, but Mossy Vulture and its surroundings were not suited to self-improvement. The Academy of Magic with a huge library, assignments, teachers, and locations filled with monsters was just what Evan needed.
