He was usually leaving five or ten minutes of rest between rounds for those at Rank 3, but if he were to stop all the competition until Shiba and his opponent finished, it might not be enough time to finish the tournament unless he didn't let the students rest after that round.

The one paying the most attention to Shiba's battle was a man that had a huge grin on his face. He needed to fight the winner of that fight, but he had rested a lot while whoever won would be quite tired.
