"I'm sure. And the previous trial wasn't that hard, was it? I barely felt anything."
Fors spoke honestly. After all, the earlier assessment had truly been as good as nothing to her.
Hearing Fors's words, the expressions of the six people meditating nearby changed. They looked somewhat heavy and ashamed. They had never expected that they had exhausted themselves just to barely pass, with some of them even scoring zero.

Fors had no idea that her casual remark had already driven six people into an existential crisis. But even if she had known, she probably would not have cared.

Fors raised an eyebrow. This familiar sensation... could it be...?
The silver patterns on the ground silently vanished into the darkness. Fors now seemed to be floating in the night sky, having entered a wondrous world.
"Black, black, black, black."
