The assessment ran for three hours.
Kang Min stood in the center of the workshop floor and held still while Jiseok worked, the investigative mana moving through him in slow methodical passes, each one reaching a different depth, each one returning to Jiseok's hand with whatever it had found. The work was quiet. Jiseok didn't narrate what he was reading in real time the way some assessors did, filling the silence with incremental findings. He worked and he was silent and the silence had the quality of someone building a complete picture before offering any part of it.
Kang Min used the time to look at the workshop.
