The morning mist disperses, and a light rain patters down, the sound of reading echoes through Star Engraving National High School.
However, in the third-grade classes, every classroom is at least half empty. After the graduation exam results were announced, even though the students had already undergone admission screenings, there are still many whose grades are not enough to gain entry into Star Engraving County's two national academies: the Military Academy and the Literary Academy.
Among the students eligible to take the national academy exams, those applying to the Military Academy for Combat Technique no longer need to review their cultural subjects, focusing instead on physical training and combat technique. Therefore, in the classrooms now, besides cultural students, there are repeating students preparing for another attempt next year.
