As he watched her, he noted the Magic Guard sitting over her constantly. It was being actively maintained at all times, at peak proficiency, while not drawing her attention at all.
He very much doubted she was even capable of failing a practical exam.
Merath continued the test. "Demonstrate Energy Bolt. Then Teleport."
"Okay!" Lena raised her wand.
She held still for a couple of moments.
Merath raised an eyebrow. "Is there an issue, young one?"
"I-" Lena looked around, unsure. She looked back to Merath. "I'm not sure where to aim the attack?"
Merath let out the smallest of chuckles before replying with a noticeably lighter tone. "Anywhere you wish is fine."
"OKAY!" Lena quickly and excitedly answered, then immediately waved her wand, sending an Energy Bolt in his direction.
Immediately afterwards, she vanished and reappeared behind him. She gave him a smile, though Merath noticed her light trembling.
