1599 Initial Screening Test?

In the past, nearly all of the best students from across the entire continent would head to Shrek to register, hoping to enroll in the academy. The rest of the highly rated academies had traditionally set their enrollment dates after Shrek Academy's. The students that were not accepted into Shrek would be recruited by one of the other academies. 

On the other hand, the Spirit Pagoda chose to openly offend Shrek Academy this time. As a result, they were facing each other head-on. Additionally, not only were the two academies located close to one another, but the Spirit Pagoda also had a clear upper hand in terms of resources. They were sure that they would be triumphant in the student enrollment process.
