The second round ended before it even started. Before Gabriel could launch an attack on Oversight and Vulcan, they raised their hands in frustration and surrendered. Satoshi was surprised. How could they give up just like that when the fight hasn't even started yet? How could they know for sure that they'll lose when they don't even know how strong their opponent is.
Those questions made Satoshi rethink his approach to the Third Round. At this rate, his team will get a landslide victory and he hasn't even done anything.
Aljier (the leader of the Great Mountain Academy Candidates) and Saturn (the leader of the Flowing Wave Academy Candidates) were both disappointed at the candidates they chose for the second round since they didn't even fight. But then again, they tried putting themselves in their shoes and they realize that they don't really have a fighting chance. Right now, fighting Satoshi is just a pass to getting beaten up.
