As the second round had a total of 256 participants, allowing everyone to fight each other was way too time consuming. But as everyone had to get a ranking, randomly putting people against each other was a bit unfair.
For that reason, the second round always had various different types of competition between competitors. Last year, the top 256 had to compete against each other in a battle royale. It was disadvantageous for powerful people as weaker UR grades were able to team up against each other. But still the end result turned out to be quite fair.
Just like last year among the 256 people, only 32 of them would be able to go to the third round. And the format of the second round this time was going to be a hunting competition.
