The first hurdle to joining the Institute of Magic was the entrance exam. The process itself, however, wasn’t overly complicated. First, one needed to present a letter of recommendation, after which they simply needed to pass the written exam that was held at the Institute itself. The exam was passable with an appropriate amount of study. As long as the candidate was capable of deciphering artglyphs to a reasonable extent and had a passing knowledge of magic and the Ancient Chronicles, the questions should have posed no problems.

Arcus had already fulfilled the first requirement: Craib had written him a letter of recommendation. As for the exam, he had consulted some former graduates.

“I expect you will pass with flying colors, Master Arcus.”

“They’d probably let ya pass without ya even goin’, knowin’ how much they want ya!”

He was a confident magic user and had never once slacked off in his studies. The Chronicles were lodged firmly in his mind, both the parts he could and couldn’t read, and he was able to write them out on command. At some point during his studies, he had come to feel that failure was simply not on the table.

“And then there’s the practical exam,” Cazzy had said.

“Wait... There’s a practical section?”

“Correct,” said Noah. “It is optional, taken up by those seeking a challenge. Many students’ first experience with magic will come after enrollment, after all. However, should you impress on both parts of the exam, you will be treated as an exceptional student.”

“Huh. Isn’t that unfair, though? Not everyone’s had the chance to study magic yet.”

“It is a method by which the noble students are able to retain their prestige among those with common backgrounds.”

“Think about it,” Cazzy prompted. “There’d be nothin’ special about the noble folk if the commoners were just as good.”

“Oh, right. That’s why you got picked on, Cazzy.”

“Nothin’ I couldn’t handle! I picked plenty of fights myself. Everyone wanted me on their side and they didn’t know when to quit! I got sick of the attention.” He cackled.

Cazzy was the first with a commoner background to graduate as top student. And, according to Noah, he claimed that position by a sizable margin. Arcus could see how this would elicit both envy and admiration from his peers.

“Students attend the Institute for five years, and those from common backgrounds—no matter where in the world they come from—tend to stay in a dormitory. You, I daresay, won’t have any need for a dormitory, given you have this house.”

“Yeah. The commute shouldn’t be too bad.”

“Where did ya stay when ya were a student?” Cazzy asked Noah.

“In the dormitories, as you did. I hail from the countryside.”

“You’re a weirdo just like me. I can’t tell if ya were born classy, or if ya worked your way up.”

“I have a rather eventful past. Every man has his hardships.”

Arcus was surprised to learn that Noah wasn’t originally from the capital. Not all nobles lived there, however. Some lived in more rural areas for the sake of their duties; perhaps that had been the case for Noah too.
