Entrance Examinations

Tomorrow morning came quicker than expected.

Well, that wasn't true. Time always flowed the same way, but it felt like it came way quicker than usual.

Just like Ling Xin said, today was the day of the examinations to enter Counterhex Academy, the new school the IMF built in replacement of the old University of Fragment. It would be constructed in the same place, but with totally different infrastructure and layout and design.

The day earlier, an announcement had gone out to literally everywhere in the world, delivered personally by the IMF. It was all over the media, newspapers, and online as well. Major international institutions such as the Hunters' Guild or the Alchemy Association spread the information through their various channels too, under the order of the IMF—which, by the way, could not be disobeyed, as they are the governing force of pretty much the entire world, at least from a power standpoint.
