It's A Date

"The participant with plaque number seventy-five should step forward"

The man said after all the plaques were distributed.

Grey looked at the plaque in his hand, and twenty-nine was boldly written on it. He was not the only one who check his plaque, the rest of the participants also did the same. The few weaker ones prayed they were the ones who got the lucky number.

Grey had no problem with not skipping this round since he mainly came here to test his limits against others. With the upgrade in his earth element, he's stronger compared to the last time he battled, but it didn't mean he could defeat a student in the Ninth stage yet. But he was sure he might be able to fight Alan to a draw now.

Alice also didn't have a problem with this, after all, she was a battle maniac. She might even feel sad if she had to skip this round. Reynolds and Klaus didn't really care also, if they had it, they'll just relax and watch the battles, if they didn't, they'll fight.
