Both of them used to live in Shadowfall,
a town that is three hours away from Silverport, known for it’s clothing industry.
Zeal was talented at making sleeping aid potions ever since he was a kid due to his enrollment in a prestigious potion making school in Shadowfall. His family sent him there to follow in their grandparents’ footsteps as potion store owners.
After he graduated from that school, Zeal negotiated which academy to enroll in, he chose Silverport due to the proximity of the city and the serpents’ knowledge in venom and acid.
To achieve his dream, he needed a tutor on making other types of potions for the entrance exam.
His family found Cris, someone who was accepted into Silverport, and offered to privately teaching people that wanted to get into the academy during her summer and winter breaks.
She says she does it because she doesn’t want to bother her parents with money if possible and to fund her interest in Lightbending.
Back then, Zeal was.. 19 years old or so. Cris was about 21.
At the start, Zeal says Cris was particularly stern about statistics and exam patterns.
By learning which part to focus on during the test, and common pitfalls of exam takers, they could spend more time practicing as opposed to learning things they won’t be using that much.
That’s the reasoning behind her actions.
Then, she moves on to making Zeal do as many mock exams as possible and honing the aspects he found difficult.
Near the end, they look at potential scores and try to form strategies on dropping or focusing on certain parts of the exams for more scores.
