Cielo slowly opened his eyes.
The strange illusion that had surrounded the applicants disappeared almost as quickly as it had appeared, and the examination field returned to normal.

Cielo looked across the field before finally smiling.
"That concludes the second examination."
A murmur immediately spread through the remaining applicants.
Bon was among them, but his expression remained unusually serious…
Well, he was still thinking about what had just happened.
