"Listen up! The allocation method this year is different from before!"
Instructor Shirata Masahiro stood on the podium, hands behind his back, looking down at Class A cadets, and shouted:
"I know, some cadets have wide connections and have already secured spots with police officers by submitting transfer applications to squeeze out others for allocation!"
"But, as long as I am an instructor, I will never agree with such behavior! The talented should receive the best treatment, while useless incompetents should be left in the dust!"
"So, I have decided to abolish the previous allocation system and replace it with a more open and transparent method!"
Shirata Masahiro took out a chart, with all the understaffed assignments listed, with two blank columns on the right:
"Do you see this chart? The cadet with the highest ranking in the graduation test can choose their assignment first, and the others will choose in order of their test rankings."
