The week-long entrance exam continued to quickly pass by, as day by day the trial was coming to an end. As the trial winded down, the frenzied nature of the branch disciples within grew. Those who had their badges stolen were doing everything in their power to get it back, even teaming out with other badgeless youths, as they targeted the ones who had stolen their badges.
As long as they were able to retrieve their identification badges before the trial ended, they would still be able to pass the trial.
Meanwhile, those who had amassed a large collection of badges didn't stop but continued to do so with even more haste and passion. The branch disciple rankings were based on who could collect the most badges, and everyone at the top knew the rewards for placing first would be beyond compare.
