The audience saw each battle as desired. It was a bit chaotic with 250 battles happening at once, but one in particular drew all eyes. Lind Frey versus Silvt Carn was a highly anticipated battle on both sides.
Many from the Cerulean Hold thought it was no contest as Lind Frey was known mostly as a scholar. His results in the former Kingdom of Altair was mostly attributed to his connections due to his sharing of revelations about elements, elixirs, and even his Forging.
Few would doubt such a conclusion as connections were just as powerful as personal strength. Thus the fight for some was a foregone conclusion.
The Violet and Crimson Hold seats almost looked in pity at Silvt. The man had no idea of the monster he was facing. The only concern on their side was the short turnaround from the 1st round to the 2nd.
However, all were in the same boat as far as that went. The rest was up to luck.
