Gambling Between Captains

Clearly, the Bella Dean Academy was not only powerful, but extremely rich and extravagant, as 90% of the audience present in the competition grounds consisted of their supporters. The 2nd largest crowd were those standing on neutral grounds, with the 200 or so Tianjing supporters being basically ignored by everyone. In the Skylink live broadcast, the number of Bella Dean supporters online have reached over 4 million, causing the chat feed to be bustling with noise and activity. Although dark horses like Tianjing did command some fame and popularity, the spread was extremely narrow, with the disparity with Bella Dean being as clear as night and day.

The organizing committee had allocated an area for the CHF participants to watch the matches at their respective competition grounds. At this place, there was already a group of 10 people present, with all of them dressed in matching silvery squadron outfits.
