Ace Academy had no more opponents in the Tournament Of Academies. All the potential students who had the chance to defeat them were mostly eliminated. The rest who had advanced to the next round were mostly Rank-D with two or three Rank-C students.
Comparatively, Ace Academy has all 20 participants progress to the next round, while the top-5 biggest students are from Ace Academy as well. With such a result, nobody thought that Ace Academy would lose.
After the first round, the media updated their list of Top-10 students of the tournament. Previously, Landon and Ren used to occupy the seat of the Top-5 list. However, they were both eliminated and they were removed from the list.
The newly updated list was something like this; number 1 was Hiro Ernest, followed by Misha Kanon, and after that was Lisa Kyelpas and then Zion Maxwell and Sylvia Mavis. Those five were almost always mentioned in the media.
