Professor Sera explained, "This test will check how much physical and mental energy you have. Endurance is very important in awakening because if your body or mind gives up too easily, your mana flow can become unstable."
"For the first part, we'll do a running endurance test," she said. "You will run ten laps around the hall. Don't rush too much — pace yourselves. It's not about who finishes first. It's about how long you can keep going."
Nayoung, standing nearby, stretched her arms with determination. "I won't lose toyou guys!" she said, more to herself.
A few students chuckled.One boy joked, "Don't faint before finishing, Nayoung!"Nayoung turned and made a face at him, "You wish!"
The atmosphere lightened a little.
Professor Sera raised her hand and called out, "Ready... set... go!"
