How long had Ash known Valcas?
A day, actually less than an hour in total.
What was their interaction like?
They fought tooth and nail, Ash covered in blood from cuts by Valcas, his own throat sliced open by Ash.
Ash suddenly recalled, when he asked yesterday, "What trouble would it bring if you lost to me?" Valcas's answer was very intriguing.
"You'll know tomorrow."
Theoretically, losing a match to Ash shouldn't bother Valcas—his contribution points were plentiful.
Just like Igula, who lost even more to Ash, isn't he lying comfortably on his dorm bed, sipping wine and slicing steak right now?
Therefore, Valcas being selected for the Blood Moon Judgement list couldn't possibly be because his contribution points ranked at the very bottom—it was a deliberate setup!
After all, the list for judgement wasn't bound to follow the order of contribution points. There was a plethora of rules to exploit, allowing the administrator to legally and legitimately send Valcas to his doom!
