Chapter 65: Three Apprentices
Seeing Sherman's ecstatic expression, the girl smiled and said, "I'm Adil Yuri, and you?"
"Sherman," he replied, looking at the other boy.
The boy lifted his chin slightly and said indifferently, "Corey McKennin."
Perhaps it was Sherman's humble attire, but Corey seemed to look down on him. After introducing himself out of politeness, he didn't engage Sherman further.
On the other hand, Adil was warm and friendly, showing no signs of arrogance despite their differences in background.
She's a kind girl, Sherman thought to himself.
The testing finally concluded as the sky turned a faint yellow.
Sherman was surprised to find that only he, Adil, and Corey had passed the test. Everyone else had been eliminated.
This left Sherman with a sense of unexpected pride, feeling somewhat exceptional.
"Come with me," the old man said. He carefully wrapped the book in a fine cloth and tucked it into his chest before beckoning the three to follow him.
Under his guidance, they entered the inner city and arrived at the castle gates.
