After Alex's fight in the elimination battle, the tournament gave the contestants one day to recover their strength before the next elimination match.
There were sixty-six remaining contestants and, among them, only seventeen people would advance to the next round. These seventeen would fight the next day until nine people remain. After that, they would be given another day to rest.
The nine people would fight one more time and the victors would advance to the semifinals. Since the number of remaining contestants was an odd number, one of them would be given a "Free Pass" that would let them advance to the next round.
This "Free Pass" was also called the "Lucky Pass" that everyone coveted. Who would want to fight if they could take the easy way out?
Minerva hovered in front of the students of Black Bellied Academy with a smile.
