"Now, before we begin any training, you have to understand how evaluations are carried out"The evaluations consist of 3 phases. In the first phase, you are tested based on your physical abilities, which include your speed, strength, agility, endurance, and all that. In the second phase, your amount of magic power is measured. There's not much anyone can do to help themselves there. The amount of magic power you will have throughout your entire career as an ability user has pretty much already been determined from the day you awakened so that one is settled. "Now, the third phase, that's the interesting part. You are tested based on how well you can combine the first two phases in real-life situations. That is to say that the third phase will be something like a survival phase. All of you who will be undergoing the evaluation will be thrust into an unforgiving environment with a finish line.

The scoreboard also rapidly updated the supervisors' scores in real time.At the end of the first phase; the 800 candidates were ranked on the scoreboard.Alex found himself feeling strangely nervous as his eyes scanned the scoreboard for his name.He started from the bottom and yet he still hadn't found it."....400...300...200...100...50...25...15...10... oh, there it is."He had conveniently landed at the 5th position.
