Not all Ten Stars students were aware that the Hidden Fog Academy was recruiting students today. Even those who were aware were not very interested. After all, no one of them thought there would be a new Ten Star student. It had been 30 years since a Ten Star student had appeared in the academy. Moreover, that Ten Star student was a Nine Star student who had been promoted. It was even more unlikely for outsiders to become a Ten Star student. The last time an outsider became a Ten Star student was 100 years ago.

Inside a primitive-grade courtyard in the Ten Stars students' dormitory.

Two individuals sat in front of a table, chatting and sipping tea.

"In another 50 years, I'll be able to graduate and become an inner disciple of the Hidden Fog Sect."

"You'll graduate earlier than me. It'd take me another 100 years before I can graduate," one of them said with a sigh.
