Indeed, as soon as the topic of slots arose, Ken immediately addressed the matter: "In my view, it's best if this year's slots primarily come from your class."
Alex responded with a knowing smile: "What exactly does 'primarily' entail? It means we first pick students from your Omni-Class, and if any are left, we consider other classes."
"Are there ever any slots left?" Alex pointed out, gesturing towards his three students nearby.
The dean was momentarily speechless, realizing only then that the Omni-Class had just welcomed its third student.
But this student, Mila, was merely auditing classes!
And allocating all slots at once to Alex' Omni-Class could stir discontent among other faculty.
Ken appeared troubled, remarking: "Mr. Watson, normally two slots for one teacher are already pushing."
