บท 295: Five days left

And just like that, the day for the academy's entrance exam finally came closer and was only five days away, people started signing up and submitting their applications.

That day, Chronicle City was so packed that there was not enough space for someone to do a complete three-sixty-degree turn as countless people flooded the academy. Alex did a rough estimate and realized that the people who were rushing to sign up for the exam easily numbered more than a hundred thousand, he was stupefied.

If an exam conducted by an academy in a backwater place like this could attract so much attention, then how would the academies in other places be? 

Of course, not everyone who came was here to participate in the exam as some were here to spectate.
