The Quarterfinals continued with Team Silver getting into the semifinals without a battle as Team Unknown withdrew from the competition.
After that, Team Helios representing Sun Academy fought an intense battle against Team Freyles which is representing the Freyles academy. The end result was quite shocking. One death and one heavy injury (damage to the soul orb) occurred to Team Freyles because of a frustrated substitute from Helios Academy.
18-year-old Curteis is a sophomore at the Sun Academy and is at the peak stage of the Elite realm (peak-rank-5). Originally, he isn't that talented as compared to his peers but ended up on the team courtesy of his great-great-granduncle, who is the Vice-principal of the Sun Academy.
But, just because he's got a position doesn't mean he would also get to participate. The team members, who were dissatisfied with his method of getting in, didn't give him even a single opportunity.
