A week had elapsed since the unveiling of the students' names and their score points on the altar. Following the announcement, a spirited competition ensued as everyone sought to augment their point totals. As proof, the student executive and disciplinary committee became very busy afterward. The student executive, in particular, bore the brunt of the responsibility, serving as the official invigilator for the impending duels.
Interestingly, amid the rankings displayed on the altar, the first stella remained an exception. Their positions remained unaltered, steadfast in the face of the frenzied attempts by others to ascend the leaderboard. Unlike their counterparts, the first stella exhibited a deliberate restraint in their actions during the preceding days, only opting to accumulate points through school contributions.
