Bab 13: The Venue
The venue is a large stadium. It is an establishment under the jurisdiction of the CIT - College of Theatrical Arts and Sports. Each department of the Cygnus Institute Technology have their own facilities. Each, more grander than the other.
This gym was chosen to be the venue for the Mass Entrance Assessment because it was the biggest and has the best design of them all.
Inside is a field that could fit two football fields that is surrounded seats. This stadium can accomodate up to tens of thousands of people. It is used by CIT - CTAS so it has to be spacious or else it wouldn't be able to accomodate even just the numerous population of CIT.
Right now, the large stadium seems so small with the numerous tents erected on the field. These tents serve as shelter for those big schools and universities who came to recruit students from CIT and other schools that are present. The tents differ in their sizes, some are like small houses and some like mansions. The sizes of the tents signifies their influence. The bigger ones are from famous schools and universities while the smaller ones such as the Phyrian School of Medicine, are schools that have just recently been established.
Phyrian School of Medicine was established just two years ago. Its founder is a famous man who has specialty in every field of medicine. The school joined the Mass Assessment to increase the shool's population.
Schools like Entrepreneural School of Morces have more larger tents. Larger schools signifies large enrolees and applicants so they ought to have larger tents.
In front of each institution's tent is another tent intended for the applicants to do their assessment and entrance exams.
"Oh my! There is a lot of people here." Mika gasped at the sight inside the stadium. "If not for CIT giving in advance a copy of the locations of each institution and academy in the stadium, it might really take me forever to look for ASEA's tent." she felt thankful to CIT. The college sent each examinee free access to a map of the tents.
"I should thank myself for getting here earlier." she thought. There were still a few hundred inside the venue so the place is still comfortable for someone to move around. "I better get going before this place gets crowded." said she while looking at the map on her phone.
Meanwhile, three students were still walking slowly like they were moonwalking. "I am gonna take as much exams as I can so that even if I could not get into Morces, I can still get to college." Martin told his friends what he was planning. Eventhough the application for the exams was yesterday, any student can still apply todat but it would take more time.
Peter stopped walking and looked at Martin. "Please don't underestimate yourself, my friend. That ain't good for you. And I believe that you can pass any exam you take today." Peter consoled him.
"Yeah, that's right. I am gonna go to Morces." Martin found courage. Noelle wants to say something but cannot say it.
"Now let us go to the stadium. They cannot start without the geniuses of CIT." Martin said with a giggle.
At the gate, now, there were a lot of students entering the venue while some are going out. "It will take us long time before finding the tent we are going to. This place is crowded." Noelle suddenly said upon reaching the entrance.
"We better get to where we should before beford this becomes messy." Peter suggested.
After that they went their own ways to go to their respective examination venues. Martin did not walk too far as the Entrepreneural school is just five tents from the entrance. "How lucky can I get?" he was so happy that he went running despite the crowded place.
There were already around ten people on the examination tent of the Shool of Morces. Two of those are his classmates. In the opposite tent, sat five people who he could guess by their looks that they were the examimers sent by the prestigious School of Morces.
"Good morning to all of you." he stood at the front of the table where the examiners are and greeted the people seated thereat. On the table are test papers and booklets which were carefully arranged by the examiners.
"Great morning, young lad. Are you here to take the exam?" the lady among the group of examiners replied and followed up with the trivial questiom.
"Yes ma'am." Martin immediately replied.
"Oh!" she looked surprised but still proceeded with another question. "Have you submitted an application? If you haven't, please refer to the posted requirements." she pointed at a piece of paper on the wall of the tent.
"I submitted my application yesterday ma'am." Martin's back was now sweating just from this conversation.
"Ok then. Please look up your name here and get the paper with the same code as your name." she was referring to a screen as wide as a medium-sized laptop on the table.
Martin then typed in his name into the query box and indeed found his name with a code beside it. He then looked for the test paper with the same code. After finding it, he proceeded to the examination tent and sat on a chair just next to a girl.

~Meanwhile, Noel has already arrived at the tent of Noloxis School of Film-Makers. Like Martin, the NLF's examination tent has aready students in it but Noelle knew or recognize none of them.
She proceeded to the examiners to affirm her attendance then took her paper. Inside the examination tent are about 50 chairs, she chose to sit right at the very back. She is not comfortable when there are people behind her.
While the two of his friends have already started with their exams, Peter is still on his way to CIT's tent.
Passing by a tent, he noticed a familiar face. He looked at the name of the tent and was amazed go see that it was the tent of ASEA. It was one of the biggest tents in the venue. He look at that familiar face and was again amazed to see Mika. She was focusing on her test paper that she did not notice someone staring at her. There were only two students taking ASEA's exam at the time.
He didn't waste any mord time and went on his way to CIT's tent. After about seven passing seven tents, he arrived at his destination.
"Good morning Miss Cereena."he greeted one of the examiners. She was his former teacher in Language.
"Good morning Peter. We are glad to have you here. Please get you code here and pick the paper with the same code as your name." She showed him the screen on the table. It was just the same with the other schools.
"Thank you ma'am." he looked for the code and picked his paper.
"Good luck Peter." another examiner said.
Peter then went on to the examination tent to answer his test paper. Each exam is set to be finished in 30 minutes as there is still interviews - for some schools, to be done.
