Lacks internal consistency

The magical world of Varen was created as a refuge from earth's persecution and its existence tied into the Sword of Varen, but the Sword has been stolen. The Coven which was entrusted with keeping it safe must find it. The students training to be witches are asked to help find it and the thief. Here's where I have trouble. One student in the class wants to advance to full witch by the time she is 14. Alina, her classmate is apparently also 13, yet these are students searching. Why aren't the professors in the school doing the searching. Also, Alien is extremely impulsive and appears to be very immature, fitting the age of 13. I could not finish this audiobook
