Jennifer took the lead in the conversation, as she was the one who could potentially secure spots for Cecile and Lyra in the magic school.
Of course, Jennifer and I also hoped to study with the elves, but we weren't sure if it would be possible. For us, simply finding refuge in their kingdom until the war subsided would be a blessing.
After listening to our explanation, Celeestia fell into deep thought. "You are aware that the admission period for human students to our magic school has already passed, are you not?" she said. "Not to mention, we generally only admit a fixed number of ten humans every three years."
Only ten people every three years! This clearly showed the elves' desire for secrecy and their reluctance to teach many humans. It was an honor to even have a chance to study magic with them, especially considering the difficulty of securing a place.
