The crowd was loud.
If not for the strong material used to make the stands then all the stomping and jumping might have formed cracks in the walls.
The reason behind their excitement was the next contestant who was about to battle.
The rumors of a strong contender participating from the Valorian Academy have reached the ears of many students across the globe.
An S-rank participating in the contest was not a small thing. After all, those S-ranks they have heard about or read about were all working for the Council.
So having a warrior who stands at the pinnacle of the rankings, participating in the tournament was, naturally, quite a big event for everyone.
Every academy—except for Valorian—watched intently, analyzing the opponent they might face in the future. Her victory today was inevitable, but if they could spot even the slightest weakness in her performance, they might just find a way to bring her down in the team battles ahead.
