"Leo Skyshard—Number One, Su Yang—Number Two, Mu Shen—Number Three…"

Major Hen's voice carried through the combat grounds as he assigned numbers to all students based on their enrollment ranks, keeping the process straightforward and without any unnecessary complications.

The list continued until Hen reached the final number.

And then, without a pause, he moved to the matchups.

"First flight, Number One versus Number Thirty-Five, Zone One. Number Two versus Number Thirty-Four, Zone Two…" He read, as he assigned everyone a combat partner at once.

After hearing the number of his opponent, Leo's gaze shifted briefly.

He had no idea who Number Thirty-Five was, but his opponent clearly knew who he was.

From among the crowd, a girl was already staring at him.

Eventually, as Leo made eye contact with her, she began walking toward him at a casual pace, stretching her arm out to introduce herself.
