21 Enrolling to The Academy (3)

The Imperial Academy is now jampacking with new people at this time of year. How come there are many new people at this time of year? Because in this time of year, the imperial academy is open for enrolment. Many noble and wealthy commoners rush into the academy to get their children enrolled in the prestigious academy. Everyone in the academy is equal, so the aristocrat's power could be ignored. But even so, the aristocracy still stays adamant about their own status. So there are some exceptions here and there. All aristocrats with the title marquis or below had to be crowded with commoners to get their son or daughter enrolled in the academy. Some powerful nobles bypass this by bringing some private army. The imperial family just ignored that practice and saw it as if nothing had happened. So, although the academy is being advertised that everyone is equal, the practice itself is not being enforced.
