If the first round of the preliminaries was considered to be a round aimed at removing the weeds and weaklings, then the second round of the preliminaries was designed to eliminate the average from the elite.
From thousands of participants in the first preliminary round, only a few hundred survived to the second preliminary round, however, only 7-10% of them were going to move forward into round three, with roughly only 128 candidates moving forward, total.
Four testing arenas were created to hold round two qualifiers, in the four biggest open grounds in the city, with a spectator limit of 15,000 individuals each.
Approximately 250-300 candidates were assigned to each testing arena, with Leo's arena being the West End Arena, near the Knight's Academy.
