After the third match between Zach and Anzi came to a conclusion, the last quarterfinal match of the tournament was supposed to be between Olivier Arkaland and Annara. However, with the situation of the half-blood girl currently in custody of the Magus Alliance, the Sword Saint immediately qualified and entered the semifinal without a fight.
By this time, the sun had reached up high in the sky as noon arrived. As scheduled, before the semifinal matches started, the tournament would be having a one hour break for the acolytes to prepare and condition themselves.
While normally one might be busy with their preparation for the momentous occasion, the same couldn't be said for Emery. Once again, he was unable to have some peace of mind to prepare for his upcoming match, as he was visited by a group of people at his private terrace.
