A day after the two's journey started, James and Aaron are sitting on two rocks, taking a small break from the afternoon sun and the seemingly endless walking.

  Just before they continue their journey, James asks a question

  "So what is the Knight's Exam? Should I have studied for it?"

  Aaron responds by saying

  "It's not really something you need to study for, its more of an inspection than an exam really, they just test all of your physical abilities, get all your measurements, and measure your aura and aspect"

  James clearly has more questions now that his original one has been answered

  "So what's aura and what are aspects again?"

  Aaron looks mildly disappointed at the question

  "It's the powers that most people are born with, like how I can manipulate metal. You don't have one though. And I don't know what aura is, the Knight's recruiter they sent to my house just gave me a sheet of stuff they'd do and left"

  The two get up before James asks another question

  "So what type of measurements are they gonna be taking"

  Aaron thinks a second before answering

  "Well, since you're a guy, I think they'd do things like height, shoulder width, waist, and hips"

  James quickly responds

  "Oh, alright, well I guess we should get going then."

  The two continue their journey to the capital, both very excited for what could very well be one of the most important days of their life.
