The second-day tournaments approached, and tension in the air grew as the next two battles would determine who would break into the top 100—a prestigious achievement—and who would be forced to fight another day for a chance to rank among the top 50 acolytes.

The system seemed to have deliberately paired them, offering Damo a chance to prove himself as the superior support spellcaster.
