Time continued to pass and eventually, only Harper remained as the time reached the 9-minute mark. Wayne managed to stay for 9 minutes and 27 seconds. The academies didn't announce the people's time so the people were keeping the time for the people who they knew or some famous talents. As seconds passed Harper's shivering grew increasingly and finally at 9 minutes and 25 seconds he couldn't hold it anymore and opened his eyes. He was swiftly taken off the stage.
Vishnu looked at Harper as he regrouped with the people from the Titan Sword sect. There was no smile anything on Harper's face as his fellow disciples came to congratulate him and mentioned how long he lasted. He had no reaction even when some jealous senior of his mocked how he was 2 seconds short from Wayne. He just nodded at them and took his seat.
