For the final part would they need to fight each other, some official knights or mages?

The mages are physically weaker and are largely unable to fight but it might be interesting to see how the candidates square off against a magic user. Or the mages could enchant the weapons the candidates would use?

Inaris is going to be a side character that is sort of important - at least for now. He's got some history with Triver and Ser'deni that I wanna kind of explore for a tiny while. Plus he's starting to become one of my favorites~ 

Please forgive my post it kind of got off topic but I kind of wanted something different to happen rather than Triver and the mages stay where they are.
