Professor Nero concluded his curriculum overview by explaining the new evaluation system. "Like previous years, fourth-year coursework is individually adapted to each student's unique abilities and development needs. While I will serve as your primary coordinator, you'll work with multiple specialized faculty members."
Our tablets lit up, showing individual schedules. My own curriculum: advanced Deepdark theory, Purelight applications, six-circle magic development, and enhanced aura manipulation.
"Additionally," Professor Nero continued, "you will be evaluated through three practical missions throughout the first semester. These missions will directly impact your rankings, while written examinations will affect grades but not rankings."
After fielding questions about the new system, Professor Nero did something unexpected—he set down his materials and regarded the class with what might have been approval.
