Seraph Yiny was watching the sieving stage of the first years with a couple of senior academy members.
This was the first time they were holding something like this as the previous years went directly into the main competition.
However, previous records have shown that students with lower levels were always left behind without the ability to shine.
To provide a platform where the outstanding ones would be noticed, this sieving stage was proposed.
This stage served as a way to notice those who fell under the light of their most outstanding students as well as select those who despite their level, would give any higher-level student a run for their money.
Unfortunately for a particular student, who despite being in the highest class, fell short of the required level to participate in the main competition.
This resulted in him being included in this stage of the competition.
