A document.
It had been produced by a Type VIII copperplate typewriter.
Chinese in regular script, English in Italian roundhand, supplemented by a pale-blue dragon-pattern seal and an official stamp reading [Witch Agency Headquarters—Tournament Operations Hall—Rookies and Registration Department—Asia Division Rookie Bureau].
The document was urgently delivered to the Draft Bureau's Approval Section and placed in the hands of elite witch Miss An Keruo.
This seasoned witch still opened the document with a serious expression.
Then she let out a soft gasp.
"145,500 mana... Oh, she just turned nineteen? And this innate reaction speed... What terrifying talent." She was a little shaken.
There was no falsifying a witch's approval. After a series of rigorous procedures, the resulting document was a true reflection of a witch's talent.
Miss An Keruo processed more than three hundred such documents every day, stamping them with the official seal before sending them to the next department. Once that department approved them, a brief announcement would be broadcast: [This witch has entered the draft]. At the same time, all her personal information would be released.
After that, witch teams would approach the witch and make draft promises. Finally, at the draft venue, they would use their pick slips to secure priority rights to her rookie contract.
"Who knows? This witch might become another overall first pick from the East." An Keruo allowed herself to imagine it.
She then took out the official seal and stamped the document with satisfaction.
Of the Witch Association's three divisions, there would be one "overall draft," after which witches who had not been selected would be assigned to their respective regions for a second draft. The overall first pick was a witch coveted by clubs all over the world.
Miss An Keruo still remembered the names of those witches.
