When the competition started, Bandora invited Himmel Soan to watch the proceedings from one of the towers.
Firey tagged along. As an examiner, she should be testing the pupils, but the event started with an alchemy competition, which she knew nothing about. Feeling bored, she followed Himmel Soan onto the tower.
"Are all of the pupils entering the alchemy competition together?" Himmel Soan asked.
These pupils should vary in their alchemy abilities and cultivation levels. He thought they would have separate competitions. However, all the students were thrown into the same competition. It looked like a stew with every ingredient thrown into the same port.
Himmel Soan was a little confused.
"Yes. They're all in the same competition."
"Won't their failures affect each other?"
"Successful alchemists should be able to shut off the outside world. If they fail because of other people, they're not good enough."
