Jasmine shook her head, "no. For some reason, there are tens of thousands of Phenom candidates this year. Only about a thousand of you will be here. The others were directed to other similar locations the Consortium has all over the Greenvale duchy."

"Tens of thousands?!" 

"Yeah. I know, it's insane. The entire syndicate has been running around like a headless chicken for the entire past month, trying to organize this giant event. I shouldn't be telling you this, but likely multiple rounds will make up the Trials this time around. You might not even finish the event here, but have to go elsewhere."

Multiple rounds, tens of thousands of Phenom candidates… Things are more difficult than I had hoped.
