As the Mercenary Guild had proposed, the three initial stage Rank-8 Mages had also agreed to have their battle separated from the middle stage ones.
The result for their battles was also already announced with the Ashin family winning the first position, Leonhard Dynasty placed at second, and Clara from the Church was placed at last among the initial stage Rank-8 Mages.
Needless to say, they were in the fourth, fifth, and sixth position respectively in the overall tournament.
For ranking the participants, the Mercenary Guild had set up a rather crude method.
Since there were only three left, the three of them were required to draw lots and whoever got a matching one would have to fight first. The winner of that battle would then fight the remaining participant.
And if the remaining participant won that battle, he would automatically be ranked as first even when he or she hadn't fought with the loser of the previous battle.
