253 Arena Overview

[Third Person View.]

It was midday, and the arena, now quiet, bore witness to a series of unexpected events that had become somewhat commonplace. Adam's opponent conceded the match upon his ascent to the stage, while Helga effortlessly dispatched her adversary with a single strike. These occurrences had rendered the Imperial Academy students acclimated to the unexpected twists that defined the day.

Over the course of the past five hours, a total of eighteen matches had unfolded, showcasing the talents of thirty-six students across all years. However, injuries were prevalent this year, raising concerns among the onlookers. Despite this, the proceedings proceeded smoothly, and the contenders were now whittled down to six students from each year, leaving nine remaining candidates who would soon be narrowed further to the top two.
