Interlude [1]

The participants were once again covered in spatial light as they were teleported back to the main arena. Upon arrival, they were greeted with a cacophony of cheers, with various names being chanted over each other.

Damien even heard his own name being chanted by certain sections of the crowd. Looking around, Damien saw the leaderboard and understood why. The top 50 were clearly outlined and he was at the top of that list. Surprisingly though, he wasn't in first.

Seeing the name, a grin formed on his face. 'Losing sucks but at least it was her I lost to.' Damien's name was in second with 66 points.

The board was lined with names that would become famous after the event and surprisingly, only around half of them were supreme geniuses.

While only around 15 of them were eliminated, many were schemed against and outwitted into losing many of the bracelets they collected.
