Yila casually flipped through the records, the sound of parchment rustling. He realized the increasingly short intervals between tower meetings were entirely normal... just as recorded in the student archives.
More and more new students...
...
Each Pure White Tower mage cohort consisted of a thousand students... and this process generally took about fifty years, so the White Tower meeting was held once every fifty years.
A thousand students in fifty years... and this was data from just one of the only three mage towers in the world, highlighting how precious the profession was.
The mage profession wasn't more noble than others (although some mages thought so); it was all professions that were noble...
Or rather, it was the deeply rooted *bloodline*.
Now, in just thirty-eight years, so many new students with mage talent had appeared... even in cases where parents had no mana adaptability, but the children did.
