First Phase

The lines of participants were so long that most had to sit in their own place until their number was called. Even after droves of people went in, there seemed to be no end to the participants. 

"So many contestants," someone said. "Won't it take forever to complete this?" 

Tsado heard that and said, "Ah, sorry for the misunderstanding. There isn't just one set of ingredients in there. We have set about 10 sets of 100. With 10 participants going in at once, it shouldn't take that long." 

"Ah, that makes more sense. With that, it should be over in about 7 hours," the first person said again. 

Ning looked around, not knowing what to watch. There was nothing that could interest him her at all. 

Finally, the rankings started popping out in front of them. 

"Ah, it's out," someone said, pointing at the two different sets of rankings. However, both of those two had the same numbers and points on them.
