The Hall of Two Paths
"How is the decision made, sir? Make that, is there choice involved, sir?" Kim asked with a hint of nervousness but did her best to speak clearly and without delay.

Elthalis noded to the taskmaster. "Sire," she said and then walked over to the azure blue area of the room. She swiftly glanced over to the other elf that also got the blue ring.

"Well, I don't know you so I'm going to have to say no," she said, drawing out the last word a bit.

"In nine cases out of ten, Fraser, one of the two paths inside you is much stronger," Stefan said, sheathing his staff and folding his arms across the chest. "The creature trapped inside the orb recognizes the dominating side and delivers the according ring. There have been documented cases of people with a stronger talent for spellbreaking trying to become magi, and vice versa; most of them ended disastrously.
However, there is another option, rare though it may be. Once in a while, a man or a woman is born standing in the middle, whose path may take him either way. It is even possible for such a person to master both disciplines - but, the modern techniques only allow them to be learned one at a time.
This means that either way, you will be sorted into one of the two subclasses. And if indeed you belong to this rare, fascinating breed, then I can only suggest you focus on the path you wish to take at this moment.
Do you understand, Fraser?"

"Nope! Re-jected!" Eryan snorted, half-consciously trying to mimic Vera's speech pattern. "You still gotta get a hat. Or a hood. Can't be cool without proper headgear."
"Charmed, miss Rivenden, - or may I call you Jinai?" Joaquin smiled. He took a sip from a goblet with moonberry juice, then asked, "Where are you from? I have a distinct impression of having seen these fine features earlier..."

"I understand, sir," Kim finished the conversation. She knew the creature was there to make the choice, and who was she to question it?
She decisively placed her right hand on the orb in front of her. A red ring materialised around her finger. A mixed feeling of relief and disappointment washed over her, but she tried to smile and be content. She glanced at the taskmaster before she turned to face the red side of the hall, passing by her spot to grab the bag and then taking her place by the banner.

"But i do have a hat as you hopefully can see." Eldoroth said and removed the hat and then performed the infamus hat trick of puting the feathered triangular hat back and always in constants loops, simply to show off.

"Yes. I will need to see the more secure items. To ensure they are, indeed, sufficiently secure. I must be certain," he told Richard stiffly.

"I beg to differ," Vera admonished Eryan, running a hand through her mussy hair. "Can't have a hat covering these glorious tresses u-p!"

"I was afraid I'd be the only one," Siber muttered to Kimberly when she approached, giving her a thumbs up.

"This way." Richard said walking past Heraldus and opened another door going down another flight of stairs into a room now full of metal boxes and barrels each with a sign on the front of them telling what is inside and on each one there was a lock with a keyhole big enough for a clearance pass to enter.

"We'll show them," Kim replied in good spirits. She wasn't sure they were allowed to talk, but she nevertheless extended her free hand (carrying the bag with her left) and quietly introduced herself as "Kim."

Heraldus passed Richard without a word and slowly went down the aisles, scrutinizing the front of each box and checking meticulously for any lapses in their security.

"Oh stop," Vera laughed, playfully shoving Eryan.

"Siber," the scarred youth replied, shaking Kim's hand. "Not sure if it can be contracted, no one's tried so far."

"Oh I shall stop. But only to savor this tailstrider schnitzel," Eryan proclaimed, doing just that.
"Must have been a lucid dream, then," Joaquin shrugged nonchalantly. "Where are you from, anyway?"

Octavian placed his hand on the orb. In a moment, the red ring and black fist appeared on his finger. He nodded, grimly unsurprised, and took his place on the red side of the Hall.

"I think I'll stick to my steak for now," Vera replied, digging in once more.
"And you won't start asking me questions about my favourite colour or where I came from or my mothers maiden name?" Arthur asked, perhaps a little sarcastically.

Kim raised a brow that most likely could be taken to mean 'challenge accepted' before she turned to the third of the Red students. She repeated the procedure, introducing herself quietly with an outstretched hand.

"And then i am going for the chilli."Eldoroth said picking up his fork. "Hope you get to know me." He added and then began to devour the spicy food with delight.
