The Alchemy College's disciple recruitment competition consisted of three parts; the first two were mere qualifying rounds. Only the third part was crucial and primary since the first two rounds, though they eliminated many, also left many behind.
Two thousand candidates were present for the third day's assessment, all vying for one of the thirty-two spots.
Additionally, as per tradition, after the end of the third assessment, the top three ranks were also decided, especially the first rank, who would become the new star of the Alchemy College. Upon entry into the Alchemy College, substantial resources would be inclined towards them, essentially providing them with focused training.
Yusuf Zuck and Rafael Case arrived at the exam venue early on the second day, with Rafael Case explaining the content of the third assessment to Yusuf Zuck.
