The Stage Has Been Set

It was complete pandemonium. 

After the Aerial Cavalry from Royal Order Academy retreated from the marshland, they didn't return to their own camp. Instead, they made their way towards the base of Dandelion Academy.

Because they suffered grievous losses in manpower, they were unable to block the advance of the invaders who had aerial superiority. Hundreds of bombs fell down the sky and the entire base was covered in black filth. 

Sounds of people vomiting and crying in despair resounded throughout the camp. Oliver mounted his flying beast with a grim expression. He couldn't let things continue this way or else, their academy would be the first to get eliminated from the competition.

He couldn't let that happen. Even if he had to beg, he would never allow themselves to be the first ones to be eliminated!

"What are your conditions?" Oliver asked in desperation. "Name it!"
