With the first match of the event having been decided, there was major excitement in the air. There were practically fighting words between these two contestants, so there was some buildup in history.
Right now, even though it was only students that they were witnessing, they felt like they were seeing a big match between that of the Demonic Faction and the Light Faction, that could very well be emulating what would happen in the future.
For one, Ulyn was the strongest student in the Light Faction, so there was a lot riding on his shoulders, whereas 'Jake' wasn't even considered the strongest from the Demonic Faction; there was a lot riding on Ulyn's shoulders.
This was felt the moment he left the Light Faction viewing area, as he felt cheers so loud it shook the ground beneath his feet. He looked to the crowd and lifted his hand in response to them.
