I'm not here to start a fight, and I'm not asking you to change the results of the trial. In fact, I didn't even want Chase to win, so I'll start off with that. If I can say this without contradicting everything I just said above, I honestly felt like Chase was the better of the two when it came to the trial. He utilized his skills, not only to boost himself, but those around him, and didn't limit this to just his teammates, instead extending it to even Sykushi and Kyshira, two mages who he rarely ever interacts with. He also defended against Jason's two strongest spells, which required an extreme amount of teamwork between his own team and two others. He had to put an insane amount of trust that his teammates would do their jobs and that alone is a great feat for only just starting to work with any of them. He also held off the enemy for a long enough of time to vanquish them, even after fighting an entire battle on his own(and winning). And, even between trials, Chase helped by healing those who wanted to be healed, even if that meant sacrificing his own magic power, simply because he wanted to, not that he was told to. I realize Chase looked out for himself in the third trial, but this was a race. He couldn't wait for someone to decide what was going to happen, he had to find out what worked and what didn't. And after Odin attacked, he stopped and he allowed the others to formulate a plan that he wholeheartedly fulfilled. And to counter William's sacrifice, I'd like to state that Seraph took the full force of Jason's attack to defend Aether, one person out of all the people on the island, and subsequently got knocked out, only to get back a few moments later and defeat his own opponent (with the help of Theia). And these "exceptional skills" that you speak of, are more than lacking. Anything William did was a single move that "decided" the match so to speak. He defeated Malory singlehandedly, and while that was commendable, that trial, along with the third, was supposed to be a test of teamwork; Chase did nothing but heal her afterward, thus defeating that purpose. William didn't appear to be a team player at all when it came to this trial, which was a core value and asset, as you have stated. Like I said, I don't want or expect you to change the results, I just wanted to state my outlook on things.
