Nanwu Grand Ceremony

The fifth day of the fifth month, Year of the New Era.

Hangcheng was especially lively today. Almost everyone had taken to the streets. People streamed past shoulder to shoulder, while screens hanging from the city's high-rises broadcast today's grand event.

South Hua Academy, the foremost academy for superhumans in the country and even the world, had spent a month preparing and conducting layer upon layer of selections. At last, it welcomed its opening ceremony today. As a superhuman institution with global influence, South Hua Academy had sparked considerable controversy internationally.

As the first publicly revealed superhuman faction in the world, with the world's number-one powerhouse stationed there, South Hua Academy's development had naturally been smooth sailing. However, after the academy announced its admission requirements, an uproar erupted across the globe.

South Hua Academy required applicants to be proficient in East Asian culture, especially Chinese culture. Three of its four academies accepted applications only from East Asian students. Once the news spread, it naturally sparked plenty of discussion.

After the results of the global selection were announced, the debate escalated further, because the figures on paper were simply too controversial.

Among the first batch of students announced by South Hua Academy, Chinese students accounted for eighty percent. Asians made up another fifteen percent, nearly half of whom were overseas Chinese. Of the remaining five percent, Europeans accounted for the majority, while Africans made up less than one percent.

Such a result naturally provoked countless debates. Especially across the ocean in America, Africans often staged protests to fight for their rights, and this time was no exception.

Unfortunately, South Hua ignored their protests completely. It even directly expelled several African preparatory students linked to the demonstrations. This move immediately silenced many people, but it also sparked even more discussion.
