Moreover, those who climbed up from the bottom and still managed to attain Divine Enthronement are all ruthless characters, each of them incredibly strong, and highly favored by major powers.
But there are too few of these, much fewer compared to those who come from a proper academic background.
There are ten classes in the First Level of the middle school, but only five remain in the second year, with the fifth class not even full, as more than half were eliminated at the end of the First Level exams.
Furthermore, this elimination has no leniency, if one fails to qualify in the first wave of elimination assessments, they are all eliminated without any ambiguity, even if it means too many are cut. It's not rare for each term to end with less than three classes in the second year.
