Now that she had the opportunity to take an exam, Astra had to pick which one she would take. There were four of them, each of them requiring something different.

In the end, the fairy had decided on the Spells and Hexes exam. She may not be a reaper anymore, but she could still create illusions. Although, whether her illusions would be good enough to pass the exam was another question.

Moving to the Spell and Hexes section, she retrieved one of the charms that were provided for the exam, studying the object with some fascination. She hadn’t tried to enchant an item before, but the idea sounded fun. In fact, if she was successful, she could enchant other objects too, and then give them to unsuspecting students. It would be an awesome prank!

But now wasn’t the time to be thinking about that. She needed to concentrate on the task at hand.

Placing the charm on the ground, she stepped back to give herself some room and then began to channel her fear into her hands. Concentration was key here; she needed to summon as much FEAR as she could so her ability would work.

When she felt she had enough, she raised her hands, the energy materializing into a fine purple mist, which she threw at the charm. It hit, causing the charm to wobble a little, and then lay still.

She then walked forwards and picked up the charm, turning it around in her hands and gazing at it intensely. It felt a little warm, but apart from that, nothing looked out of the ordinary. Had her FEAR attack worked? She wasn’t sure.

Sighing, she went to hand in the charm, and see how everyone else went in their exams.

Result: 19 / 2 = 9.5
