It was quite the assembly.
Closest to him were the Silverunic students who passed.
A total of about 17 were still standing out of the 24 that formerly entered the realm.
'Seems like 7 Silverunics were lost to the test...' he thought silently to himself but diverted his attention from the surrounding students to the others in the room.
There were18 standing.
King Auremis, Queen Eilereth, the Ten Elders, and a total of five of the ancient Elders—including High Scholar Emeris—and then there was a singular lady: Instructor Kiyana, who was their Aether class teacher.
When he looked at the faces of the Elders, he could see signs of sadness, but then beneath that sadness were exhales of relief.
Even the King had his hand clutched to his throne armrest as he laid his gaze on them.
'17 of them survived. That's a lot compared to the average Coming of Age ceremony. And they included Fillian and Elina too. That's very good,' King Auremis silently thought to himself.
