The intercom announcement echoed through the airship, carrying a simple yet firm directive:
"All first-year students were to gather in the main hall once more."
Despite the late hour, the hall was already filled with students by the time Velren arrived. Unlike their previous assembly before the exam, there was no neat organization or rigid formation this time. The exhaustion of the past ordeal had settled into the student body, leaving them scattered across the hall. Some stood in small groups, murmuring in hushed yet eager voices about the exam's conclusion, speculating over their final rankings or debating over certain encounters in the field. Others, visibly drained from both the physical and mental toll, simply lingered in quiet corners, waiting for the process to be over so they could return to their quarters and rest.
