Evaluation #1

The old lynx mink then spoke up. "That is it for the selection, remember that there will not be another chance to gain a new sword, at least the family will not arrange this event again so do not use them recklessly. Everyone else can leave and the children can take their sword to settle around their homes. However now that you have all turned dour, I will be expecting more from each of you in the future. There will be mandatory classes to attend and you can also bring in your own teachers for other subjects or make a request to me to arrange a qualified teacher. Now that you have a sword, you may need an assistant or study companion but I will give you all a year deadline to prepare one before I assign you one for failing to complete the task. Do not expect someone capable if you happen to plan to fail on purpose. As for the buildings under each mothers names upon marrying, I expect them to be put to use for your children's future foundation within the next twelve years so do not disappoint me when I ask for the results."

The mothers all bowed to the old man and took their children back to their homes along with their new sword.

Each of them were adjusting to an extra person being in their lives as they tried to grasp the true purpose of the sword selection and the test that follows.

Meanwhile the old man was sat with many things written down on a piece of paper as he continued to go over his evaluation if the children.

[Felice, tiger, long black hair, neat appearance, cold and indifferent but noble personality. Able to remain calm and evaluate the decisions of the others and come to her way to decide who to decide. She pretends to be indifferent to everyone in the room with the exception of me and her mother but she looks at everyone equally and does not discriminate which is shown by how she had taken some of her insights from all of her siblings while others had ignored Pixel. In the final battle she chose someone who fought honourably which better suited the role as a noble families sword which shows that she needs to care about her image. The act of saving someone and taking them in after their loss and injury will also help to increase the swords loyalty to her and build a stronger relationship.]

The evaluation of Felice was full of positivity as he did not see any bad enough flaws in her performance and he had noticed her potential towards politics and making others follow her which were excellent skills for a potential heir to have at a young age.

Even if some of it had not been intended as he had viewed it, she had still acted in a way that let him see her in a positive light.

[Pixel, mouse, medium blonde hair, cute appearance with a calm personality but not timid. Able to come up with her own way to choose her sword with the very few that had volunteered and was not quick to show anger or shame due to her situation. Her choice is a good one considering those she had to choose from but it could be a short sighted choice when their ages are considered, the older will grow weaker and die while the younger applicant would be a better long term sword. However the young man had shown hostility to her in an instant upon not being chosen so she may have made the best choice in the end as it is best not to have someone like that by her side that may one day turn his blade on her for the slightest grievance. She also showed bravery and good judgement but also understanding of the rules as she brought up the question of choosing a sword from someone else's selection. Finally she remained calm under the provocation of her brother and even showed no fear as she made him back ofd with a single look. She has some potential as she is very calm, rational and has a strong spirit but she cannot become the heir even if she shows good results in the future so it is recommended to watch over her to see if she can build a life for herself, take up an important position in the family or marry into another family but those would be best decided in the future and be considered depending on who is chosen among the young heirs.]

His evaluation of Pixel was positive but her mouse bloodline played a big part in him having to overlook her many advantages that she had shown.

He had also mentioned that while she could remain in the family, it may not be beneficial for her if one or more of the siblings inherit the position as family head due to how her relationship was with them.
