Surviving Is Winning

[Ding-dong!]

[Attention to all of our freshmen!]

[Today is your judgement day. Today, you will be judged of your worthiness to be accepted in our Magic Institute.]

Right after that was said, a commotion ensued.

"What?! After all of those tests, and I have to pass yet another one?!"

"Bollocks!"

"Are they joking with us?!"

To be admitted into Randalvine Magic Institute, one had to either be in the top 5 of the Regional Tournament, or pass the tests given by the Institute. While the former tested one's ability to survive, the latter tested one's mastery over Magic.

None of the way was easier than the other. Therefore, they couldn't help cursing, when it was announced they had to pass another test to be really admitted into Randalvine Magic Institute.

How could they not? They had passed those hurdles in vain, after all!

[Only the people who managed to survive will be admitted into our Institute.]

"Huh?! Are they saying we have to kill each other?"
