Due to the nature of the Alchemy Array problem, teams of up to twelve people were allowed on site.
However, the larger the team, the harder it was to score points.
For those hoping to make it to the international competition, basically only the one or two most outstanding members of a team could earn high scores. The rest were just there to make them look good.
Besides, all the students participating in the national competition were geniuses. No one wanted to be a stepping stone for someone else.
No one on site formed a twelve-person alchemy super-team. Teacher Zhong took a stroll through the crowd and saw that the largest groups had only six people, and they were all from the same school.
He pulled out his phone and looked up the profiles of those six students, quickly learning that five of them had signed a "genius clause" to act as support for the successor of a prominent family.
