The Test

The question "
What Did You See When Your Eyes Were Opened?" is seen as a test by the academy.
Instances of the question.
*Nine asked Jade this question when she came out of her trance at the clinic
*Reginald Gribbs to Jason before claiming he failed his test
*Lara Hodge jokingly asked Jade the question, while parodying Nine
*An unnamed inquisitor asked Mary this question in 1693, while crushing her lover under a pile of rocks.
*Irina sneaked into Nine's clinic, and asked a recovering Fortunato this question.
*While callously stabbing him for leaving him out of his will, Ike asked Abraham an echo of this question.
*Georgina Daramount taunts Fortunato with this question as she blinds him.
*Susan Dagney asks Casey Blevins the question and then describes what Casey saw.
There are also direct references to the question:
*When Chad and Steve have Hunter in the greenhouse, they tell him "When we're done with your sorry ass, your eyes will most definitely be opened" in Morning Glories #8
*"You would not have been willing to do what must be done. Your eyes have not been opened" -Irina to The Truants in Morning Glories #25.
*"You'll start to see, too,once your eyes are opened."-Guillaume to Hisao in Morning Glories #18
*"Your eyes have been opened" -Esi to Hunter in Morning Glories #31.
*"With the Headmaster's help, I saw it--my eyes were opened"-Isabel Traveiso in Morning Glories #48
If someone fails the test, they are deemed no longer useful and may be killed.
The phrase itself may be a reference to Genesis 3: 5 “For God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”
