But, in reality, being a Peak Witch is already the pinnacle of many witches' lives. Until the Peak Period, you can still rely on accumulation and hard work. In theory, as long as you live long enough and are willing to settle down and study magic diligently, every Great Witch has the opportunity to become a Supreme Peak. It's merely a matter of time.
However, the Wise Man's Barrier is truly a great divide.
Among the tens of thousands of Peaks, there are four to five thousand Supreme Peaks qualified to participate in the Sage assessment. After all, the older Peaks generally manage to persevere to the Upper-Level, and Peak witches have means of resurrection, easily escaping death. Therefore, barring accidents, this number will only gradually increase over time.
Yet, even with such a large number of applicants, the total number of Sages in the Witch World is still less than fifty.
This shows just how difficult it is to comprehend Authority.
