Damian left early in the morning and headed to the place where the bus would pick up those who had awakened their mana and managed to get a shot at joining the hunter academy.
There were a few different ways to secure a spot in the academy—natural talent, connections, and of course, money helped too.
However, the academy had one strict rule: even with all that, every student still needed to demonstrate a decent level of talent. All applicants were tested before officially being admitted.
Even those who got in through money or influence had to pass the entrance trials. If they failed, they lost their spot. That's just how things worked.
Many powerful people had complained about it. Some wealthy hunters had even seen their own children rejected after failing the tests. But despite all the pressure, the academy's policies never changed.
