The Thor Academy team is devastated.
What Sam did is more than defeating them. He humiliated them in front of the whole world and they couldn't stand for it. Even though they would be ranked third, it is worse than coming last place.
That is what they thought.
If only they had seen what Sam did to the Hel Academy which was the first one to go. They might not feel the same. They didn't have that much patience to think of that anyway. Meanwhile, everyone is expecting a massive fight between Sam and Noah.
Both of them surprised the crowd way more than anyone expected.
At least Sam's actions are not too far-fetched, a lot of the Deans and Elders knew that he is a troublemaker, but the same couldn't be said about Noah. She was low-key since the start. Except for the Dean of Aranya Academy nobody knew what she is actually capable of and what her background was.
She kept a low profile and only gave enough effort to get into the team.
