Giselle glanced down at the tablet in her hands. "After the seventh trial, Ray, you have fifty points." Her gaze lingered on him for a moment. Excluding the fourth and fifth trials, where they had scored zero, he had achieved a perfect score on every other test.
"Lily has thirty-eight points. Raziel has forty-eight. Violetta has forty."
Lily's total was the lowest, a result of her conserving strength and skipping parts of the endurance trial.
Ray and Raziel were relatively safe. They only needed ten and twelve more points respectively to pass, and since direct entry into the inner court was no longer possible, merely reaching the threshold was enough.
Lily's situation, however, was far more precarious. With only eight points of leeway across the remaining three trials, she could not afford to lose more than three points per trial. One misstep could spell elimination. Violetta was slightly better off, but her margin was still thin.
