章 2012: Assessment

Emery viewed the new academy system as a positive evolution in talent assessment.

He appreciated how it allowed more acolytes from the lower realm to participate and offered a direct one-year opportunity in the outer realm, a significant departure from the previous short timelines.

Emery especially admired the Perseverance Mountain as a method of sorting talent.

Reflecting on his own journey, Emery recognized that while he had entered the elite class through the Magus Games, many acolytes relied heavily on external factors.

Without the assistance of his senior Izta, he would not be able to compete against acolytes trained by factions from the middle and higher realms.

Emery believed that the Perseverance Mountain offered a fairer means of talent assessment.
