Chapter 60: VOL2 Chapter 5: it’s time for your exam
The beautiful glass elevator swiftly took the group up to the 30th floor, where the exams would be conducted. When the elevator doors opened, they were greeted by a long and majestic hallway with walls decorated with intricate engravings detailing the fundamental principles of alchemy, while the floor reflected a soft glow, as if imbued with mana.
As they walked down the hallway, the group arrived at a beautiful, elegant-looking waiting room filled with shelves, books, and desks scattered around. Various people of all kinds could be seen doing last-minute reviews, their expressions ranging from confidence to terror.
"Well, now we just have to wait for them to call you, and you should head to the door with the indicated number." Sigrún commented as she pointed to some doors visible a bit beyond the waiting room. Erik nodded while looking around with a calm expression on his face.
"Alright, I'll be waiting here then."
"Well, Erik, we have to go. We'll try to come back before your exam ends, but if we can't, we'll see you at home, okay?" Eleonora said with a slight smile, causing Erik to turn to his masters and bid them farewell with a smile.
"Alright, see you later then."
With a smile on her face, Sigrún gave her disciple a big farewell hug, while Eleonora bit her lips, a bit mortified, as she also wanted to give him a small farewell hug. But after glancing around a bit, she shook her head and then left the building, where they disappeared in bursts of light, reappearing in the faction's meeting room.
...
"It's a pleasure to see you again."
Sitting at the head of the table, the director, who was the only one in the meeting room, greeted the women who had suddenly appeared. They took their respective seats and responded with different expressions on their beautiful faces.
"What do you need now, old man? We've already done even more than what was asked of us, and I'm not willing to leave the planet for at least 20 years." Sigrún commented, a bit annoyed with her arms crossed. Eleonora slightly nodded in agreement, a serious expression on her face.
