The academy stadium was filled with students, today was a holiday and the second, third, and fourth-year students had also come to watch the practice session.
At this point, I don't if calling it a practice session would be right because it was almost like a tournament, with the only difference being that it was not. The academy has probably set it like this to make create a sort of entertainment activity for the senior students.
There are several reasons I think of for doing this, first was that the senior students didn't really get time to sit back and relax since their courses were a lot more than ours so maybe the academy wanted to give them a break or something.
And the other one is from a business point of view, this training session was a good way to collect extra money from the pockets of the students. Except for the first-year students who were taking part in the session, the senior students had to pay the fee to come and play the spectator.
