"So, is the examination complete?" Rui asked.

"The analyst team will be cross-referencing my results with the data gathered by all the sensors." She replied. "They aren't just for show. However, those are only extra precautions that the Martial Union is taking to make sure beyond any shadow of a doubt that you are a Squire candidate."

"What follows from here?" Rui asked.

"Once they have verified your status as a Squire candidate, the actual briefing on the process will begin." She explained. "Once that's done, you will need to go through a few procedures that are necessary for the breakthrough to the Squire Realm."

"How long will the verification of my status as a Squire candidate take?" Rui wondered, curious.

"Should be done within a day." She replied. "I need to file a report regarding my examination of you, the analytics department will verify my evaluation along with the data the sensors gathered on you. Together, the truth will become irrefutably clear. The Martial Union will contact you when the results have been evaluated."

"Alright." Rui nodded.

He bade her farewell and returned to the Quarrier Orphanage, waiting patiently with high expectations. Sure enough, as Squire Deira told him, the Martial Union messaged him several hours within the day.
