Orion followed suit, settling comfortably into the chair beside her, casting a brief glance her way. She met his eyes for a fleeting moment, her expression enigmatic yet softly amused, seeing that no one other than him dared to sit close to her.
Arya gracefully took the seat on Orion's other side, sitting elegantly, her posture perfect. Beside her, Emilia settled quietly, followed by Sylvia, Elias, Kale, Felira, and the others, each occupying their assigned seats calmly and with dignity.
The hall gradually filled as more students filtered inside, their faces tense, anxiety tangible in the air.
Whispers fluttered among the students, some speculating about the results, others nervously joking to lighten the tense mood.
Orion, relaxed in his chair, observed them with faint interest. He glanced at Arya, attempting to make a joke, "With how tense everyone is, you'd think we were here for executions instead of test results."
