Just as Angelique Harcourt guessed, many of the Swordmaiden contestants managed to get past the first days of the tournaments.
The performance of most Swordmaidens were still within a reasonably competitive range.
In personal combat, the women exhibited both solid dueling capabilities and teamwork when fighting as a group of five.
In mech combat, the Swordmaiden mech pilots possessed less of an edge in skills, but their raw ferocity and abundant combat experience was usually enough for them to push out competitors who were unaccustomed to facing all-out attackers.
Even though this approach backfired on some of the Swordmaidens, the strongest ones all made it through!
A select few Swordmaidens obviously stood out from the rest. Aside from Venerable Dise who wasn't allowed to compete, certain individuals such as Commander Sendra and Ketis exhibited much greater strength and confidence in the personal combat tournaments.
