The grand elder of the academy complains that the admission of new disciples is getting worse. The martial arts competition for the four academies is coming up next year, and he fears that if the academy continues admitting new disciples, it will lose to the other academies. He tells the grand elder that if he were the principal of the school, he would wipe out all the "malignancies" in the academy. The elder agrees that he is too softhearted, but he insists that the academy must focus its training on those who have the potential and meet the standards. He promises that he will put in charge of the entrance exam for the new disciples.
