Nevin offered a shrug. "I hope so at least," he replied with a sigh. "I did my work. Enough to get by, at least. I was second in our class, after all." He shook his head, glancing over towards the girl he had shouted at. There were a few people who interested him among the groups gathered. The most interesting to him, though, was one with a staff. It was rare for him to see magic from his fellow students. His sister was a pretty big deal in the magic world, but it was still rather few that actually used magic in their class, mostly seeing weapons. Typically, ordinary weapons. Amalger was one of the few that interested him with his weapon.
The others were moderately interesting as well. The girl talking to the staff user seemed very energetic. He recognized her instantly as the girl who had caused problems near the crow's nest at the start of their journey. Then there was the quiet boy off to the side, seeing him flip the blade out from the staff to reveal his spear. It was going to be an interesting group. He was looking forward to see what the best of the best had to offer.
"I'm sure we'll have more of a challenge in terms of our peers too. This isn't like Flare," he added. "We're getting the best of the best. Those who couldn't cut it in Flare couldn't make it into Beacon. At least, that was my understanding."
