Seraph Yiny was watching the sieving stage of the first years alongside a few senior academy members.
This was the first time they had held something like this, as the previous years had gone directly into the main competition.
However, previous records have shown that students with lower levels were often left behind, unable to shine. To provide a platform where outstanding individuals would be recognised, 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, a particular student, despite being in the highest class, fell short of the required level to participate in the main competition. This resulted in his inclusion in this stage of the competition.
