Book 9 - Chapter 6 - Part 1

"Mentors, (not including Emberberry) today is your day to prove to us what you know about being a mentor. Seedwhisker, Flowerfur and Mousetail you are our 3 warriors that are currently mentors." announced Troutstar. The clan nodded. "Each mentor will be paired with a senior warrior and a leader.
These 2 cats will be given a series of questions to ask the mentor. The leaders know the questions that are to be asked. Some might be what would happen or how they would train their apprentice. 60 possible points are available  for each cat and there are 3 parts. The first part is technique and demonstrations. The second is questions and the third is  opinion. Up to 2 points will be given in the third round based on the question and the answer given. After each round is done the 3 cats will come back to the clan and etch the number of points they have on the leaf for them. That way at the end of the day we can tally up the points easily." said Cedarstar. "The pairs are Seedwhisker, Cedarstar, and Birchtail. Flowerfur, Troutstar, and Dragonwhisker. Mousetail, Sparrowstar and Whiteclaw." spoke up Berrystar, he then continued, " I will be staying here if there is an emergency in the clan." The clan nodded.
