Every March, the county examination tests Child Scholars; in June, the prefectural examination tests Accomplished Scholars; in September, the state examination tests Presented Scholars; and in December, the first trial of the capital examination, the Tribute Examination, takes place, passing which one becomes an Imperial Scholar.

After this year's Tribute Examination, all Imperial Scholars will participate in the Palace Examination, not the one in the Golden Luang Hall, but the one in the Hall of All the Saints.

These Imperial Scholars will be directly appointed as magistrates across the lands, while the Semi-Saint examiners of the Hall of All the Saints constantly scrutinize the world. In the second year of October, evaluations in various fields such as education, agriculture, industry, governance, and law will be conducted, and the top three performers from each nation can become the top scholars, second-place scholars, or flower-picking scholars.

Afterward, depending on the time in the Sea of Learning, it will be determined whether the Imperial Scholars of each nation will first cross the Sea of Learning or compete for the title of the foremost leader among the ten nations.
