Someone whispered, "Does anyone know how many students Gale Light Academy recruits each year?"
"Not sure. For an academy this huge, they must recruit at least ten thousand every year, right?"
"Yeah, that sounds about right. Even if it's not ten thousand, there have to be at least a few thousand. Otherwise, it wouldn't deserve its title as the top academy in the Dream Realm Plain."
"Over a hundred thousand people competing for a few thousand spots... doesn't that mean only one person out of every twenty or thirty has a chance of being selected?"
"That's not so bad. One in twenty or thirty isn't too low of a chance."
A large crowd of parents and their companions, who had clearly come from all over the Dream Realm Plain to enroll their children, stood around chattering and sizing up the situation.
"A bunch of idiots."
Someone off to the side glanced at them, a look of disdainful mockery on his face.
"Who are you calling an idiot?"
The surrounding crowd immediately bristled.
