Odd Thoughts

The faces of those from the Burchard Family weren't pretty. Looking at the options they had left, they felt a tinge of sadness. Of only four people left, two were in the Ninth stage, one was in the Eighth stage, and the last person was Grey, the young man who was in the Fifth stage of the Sage Plane. Although he managed to qualify for this, his opponent was merely in the Seventh stage of the Sage Plane.

In a battle of high ranks, they had little to no faith in him. 

On the side of the Nether Faction, they still had the same number of people left, and three of them were in the Eighth stage of the Sage Plane, while the last one was in the Seventh stage. 

As things stand, they felt there was a chance that Grey might win his battle since he had defeated someone in the Seventh stage once, but that wouldn't be relevant once he advances to the next round. From that round onwards, there would only be people in the Eighth stage and above.
