The atmosphere in the Soaring Dragons Pavilion was heavy yet vibrant. The Pacesetters Academy representatives had gathered in the grand hall, illuminated by elegant chandeliers and adorned with banners of the academy's emblem. Despite the luxurious setting, a mix of emotions filled the air—disappointment, pride, and anticipation.
At the head of the room stood Chancellor Castenada, his imposing figure flanked by his close friend Marel, Vice Chancellor Reeves, and General Cao. Their presence commanded respect, and the room fell silent as Reeves stepped forward to address the group.
Reeves, with his usual composed demeanor, began, "Before Chancellor Castenada speaks, I should inform you guys of the outcome at the Southern Azure Coliseum. The individual class battles for the mages have been just as intense as what The Northern Wind spire coliseum offered here today. Among our representatives, only three have advanced to the final stage."
