The two boys had returned just in time to witness the aftermath of the test. They stood amidst the crowd, catching glimpses of the departing princess. The older boy nudged his companion and whispered, "We made it back just in time. Looks like the Saintess lasted through the entire test, unlike her teacher."
The younger boy remained silent, his eyes following Andromeda as she walked away with a commanding presence. When the results were revealed and the elementals let the answer sheets appear in front of them, the younger boy quickly grabbed one. He was seemingly literate, unlike his older companion, who peered over his shoulder, curiosity evident in his eyes.
"Can you read any of this?" the older boy asked in a hushed tone.
