From MC's Perspective:
Capital City:
While the people are celebrating the win of Vincent Carey. They don't know what kind of danger awaits them.
Time passed in the blink of an eye,
The remaining duels have ended before midnight. With that the 1st stage formally comes to an end. For the 2nd stage, 15 wizards are qualified.
The announcer is standing on the platform and addressing the crowd.
Initially, there were ups and downs. But at the end of the 1s stage, each academy has managed to secure 5 wins.
So the 5 wizards from each academy will participate in the 2nd stage tomorrow. After the announcer said these details.
The crowd erupted with joy. Then they started to leave the arena slowly.
Meanwhile,
The dark lord has successfully entered the duel arena premise. But he didn't go to the buildings yet. He still has some suspicion.
