The women that won their battles were now given a short break to get to peak condition before continuing with the rest of the tournament. Round 1 only took around 3 hours to finish since everybody was participating in it. Even though 50 duels happened in Round 1, it was actually more like 25 since they went at the same time. The audience also seemed to enjoy the separate battles as well because a lot of them were very similar or weren't very interesting to watch, but having 2 battles go at the same time gave them something else to watch if they got bored with one of them. The audience was always engaged and cheering on someone or just cheering because they get to see the new disciples fight.
