"There's already a lot," Apollo muttered, looking at the number of people at the foot of the mountain. He could see that most were martial students, while some came with their guardians or parents.
The place was wide and had a lot of space. Even though there were already many participants, it didn't feel too packed.
Some of the martial students had parasols and chairs that they brought with them. Apollo could even see a small house in the distance with martial students hanging out. The way they moved indicated they were of noble origin, while the commoners had to stand under the sun.
Why didn't they bring their own parasols? Afraid to offend the nobles? Apollo thought, shaking his head. Even though there was social stratification in his previous life, it wasn't to the point where they blatantly showed it to the public.
The invitation scroll only stated the gathering time but didn't specify when the exam would begin.
