"But you could fight a war over that."

"I think we're hoping to just build another school."

"Would a new school even help?"

"You know in the Anglosphere most of the indies get slots?"

"They do?"

"Yep. No testing. They just get in if they're good enough there's a chance they might actually make it. --It's worse in developing countries, Masozi had to travel to South Africa to get his slot because the entirety of Malawi doesn't get a single slot."

...oh dear. "Another school would be good "

"Shanghai enclave has been pushing for it if we don't get a fairer allocation of slots."

"With another school, a fairer allocation might not even matter. There could be slots for nearly everyone."

"And we could do easier classes-- or, at least, easier not-graduation-relevant classes-- since we'd know that it wasn't mostly safe from mals. Which the Scholomance's original designers did not."

"Just knowing that there would be mals would help a lot."

"And we can have a better school and not let the Anglos in."

"--I guess we can leave the danger school to the Anglos." It does feel mean though.

"Si-mei you are too nice."

"I mean, its not any of the kids' faults that this school is more dangerous than expected?"

"No, but it's their parents' fault that a bunch of kids I knew growing up are going to die."

"That's true." (With a fairer allocation of slots, that fact that she probably killed two people just by being here wouldn't be the case. But she doesn't know where to put the fault for that.) 

"That's depressing, si-mei, let's talk about magical theory."

"...we should, that's way more fun."
