The unified Magic exams(2)

Due to the challenging nature of the previous day's exams, a sense of despondency loomed over many of the awakened on the second day. However, the day commenced with the Magic general knowledge exams, providing a welcome relief for the awakened. This particular exam proved relatively easy, as much of the content had been covered during the awakening ceremony. The focus of the exam lay in the description of elements and the different affinity grades.

Luc, like his peers, found the exams to be straightforward. He methodically answered each question, taking his time to ensure accuracy. Witnessing the improved spirits of his fellow awakened, Luc's determination burned brighter within him. After enjoying his supper, he turned his attention to revising his collection of poems in preparation for the Literature exams.

When the Literature exams finally began, Luc was taken aback. The format of the exam differed significantly from the previous ones. It commenced with a series of questions that required students to respond with elaborated paragraphs, testing their comprehension and analytical skills. As the exam progressed, the awakened were tasked with writing a poem on a specific theme. The theme for this particular exam was Science.

Luc deliberated for a moment, contemplating the theme and its implications. In a surge of inspiration, he decided to center his poem around the beauty of numbers:

'In the realm of numbers, let us take flight,

Exploring the wonders, day and night.

From zero to nine, a world so grand,

Digits intertwine, hand in hand.

Ones and twos, they dance with grace,

Creating patterns, in every space.

In this duet of numbers, let us find,

Symmetry and harmony, intertwined.'

With his pen gliding across the paper, Luc poured his thoughts and emotions into his poetic creation. Each word carefully chosen, he sought to convey the elegance and significance of numbers in the realm of science. As he penned the final lines, a sense of accomplishment and fulfillment washed over him, knowing that he had expressed his thoughts eloquently.

The Literature exams proved to be a significant departure from the previous day's challenges, presenting a new set of hurdles for the awakened to overcome. However, Luc remained undeterred, recognizing the importance of adaptability and the need to embrace every opportunity for growth.

As the second day concluded, a sense of weariness and disillusionment permeated among the awakened. The red-grade awakened longed for the exams to come to an end, while the orange-grade and above awakened held onto hope that the practical section would offer some respite. It was within this atmosphere that Luc and his peers approached the third and final day of the Written exams. This day focused on the subjects of arithmetic, geometry, and spell diagram theory.

The arithmetic and geometry exams posed considerable difficulty for many of Luc's peers. These subjects had not piqued their interest in the past, and as a result, the exams proved to be quite challenging. The exams were divided into two parts, with the first part focusing on arithmetic. Luc began to witness the true prowess of his mathematical nexus rune as he effortlessly solved each question. Merely glancing at a problem was enough for the answer to materialize in his mind. Completing the arithmetic section with ease, Luc moved on to the geometry portion of the exams, finding the problems to be relatively straightforward.

Luc's rune bestowed upon him a unique advantage in the realm of mathematics, allowing him to excel in subjects that would otherwise pose a considerable challenge. As he completed the final questions of the geometry exam, a sense of confidence washed over him. Despite the difficulties faced throughout the exams, Luc remained steadfast in his pursuit of knowledge, recognizing that each obstacle served as an opportunity for growth and self-improvement.

With renewed energy, Luc delved into the realm of spell diagram theory. The exams held a peculiar significance for him, given his connection to the mathematical nexus. The first part of the exam tested the students' understanding of the general theory behind spell diagrams, their components, and their functionality. As Luc approached this section, he felt a surge of confidence, his mathematical nexus analyzing the runes and providing him with valuable insights into their utility. The brilliance of the mathematical nexus shone within him, illuminating the intricacies of spell diagrams like never before.

As Luc progressed to the next part of the exam, he was presented with a spell diagram structure that required interpretation. With the aid of his mathematical nexus, he effortlessly dissected the diagram, comprehending its underlying principles and purpose. The synergy between his magical abilities and mathematical understanding became apparent, leaving Luc in awe of the game-changing nature of the mathematical nexus. It not only enhanced his spell learning process but also bestowed upon him a newfound ease and proficiency in manipulating magical energies.

In the final exercise, Luc was tasked with completing a spell diagram. With the guidance of his mathematical nexus, he approached the task with precision and finesse, seamlessly weaving the necessary runes and patterns together. The intricate web of magic unfolded before him, and he marveled at the harmony and elegance of his creation.

Overwhelmed by the transformative potential of the mathematical nexus, Luc couldn't help but feel a sense of humility. The power it bestowed upon him was remarkable, and he understood the immense responsibility that came with it. As he completed the spell diagram exercise, a quiet determination settled within him. Luc realized that his journey as a mathemancer had only just begun, and he vowed to wield his newfound abilities with wisdom and purpose.

With the Written exams now behind them, Luc and his fellow awakened eagerly anticipated the forthcoming practical exams. They understood that these practical assessments would test their magical abilities and aptitude in real-life situations, further challenging their skills and resilience. Filled with a mixture of nerves and excitement, Luc prepared himself mentally and emotionally for the final leg of the exams, ready to showcase his magical prowess and prove himself as a worthy member of the awakened community.
