Yeah that's what I thought

TBH I lowkey wouldn't be surprised if they gave Kairi the opportunity to become a keyblade master

Now whether or not she would pass is a different thing all together

It depends on what her specific test is, I think.

Because it seems like the Mark of Mastery is different each time.

Either hit some glowing balls or go through 7 sleeping worlds

hmm, I know which one I'm doing

It depends on the Master

and the situation

With Terra and Aqua, it was in a controlled environment with no danger

With Sora and Riku, it was urgent

Judging that the past two Mark of Mastery exams had two people participating, I won't be surprised if the next one was for Kairi and Lea

And officiated by Aqua.

Especially since Kairi has been training with her.

It's going to be a talent show

No, no, wait.

Rip Ven, he ain't ever gonna get the chance

Not his fault he failed though- I feel like everyone forgets that part.

Like sure, he was "oVeRcOnFiDeNt" but like, aside from that, everything was out of his control.

Was hoping that'd be brought up as a plot point in 3 but it never was.

Well, yeah, of course it wasn't his fault.

However, he still failed.

Same thing for Terra.

Terra at least has the out of he had Darkness in his heart and his teacher was a Light elitist- so that's partially on Eraqus which they at least acknowledged

Also true.

Unfortunately, the Mark of Mastery seems to account for no margin of error, which means the end result is always a cut-and-dried pass or fail.

No extenuating circumstances are taken into consideration.

does any1 still think MoM is a replica?

Nah…

And I refuse to believe he’s Demyx

Me too.

I mean, given the weight of the title and the powers of mastery, why should any extenuating circumstances be taken into account?

It’s a big job and it can’t be handed to just anyone. You either have what it takes or you don’t.

Exactly my point.

It doesn't matter that it wasn't Sora's fault.

He still ultimately failed.

Clearly some people went to Private school... 😔

what's a private schooI

A school not open to the general public

so
not just anyone can enroII?

you need to be speciaI?

You need to pay them a lot of money to attend.

It's like college, but for kids.

ohhh
