Professor Luka had to admit, he was impressed.
These students… they weren't anything like what he had expected. As he stood in silence, watching the white-haired boy approach, his mind replayed everything that had happened up to this point.
'It makes sense now,' Luka thought. 'If that girl truly has the God Eyes… then she would've seen the flow of mana within the magical circle. That's how they escaped the trap.'
It was disappointing, in a way. He had hoped at least one of them had deciphered it through logic, intuition, or raw magical perception. But now it seemed it was all thanks to a rare ability.
Still, his assumptions had clearly been wrong.
'When Alen told me he had a few potential students to send over, I assumed someone had twisted his arm. A favor, perhaps. So I agreed to assess them. But I had already made up my mind, I was going to reject every single one of them.'
Now, that no longer felt like an option.
