( A few hours later, in the university auditorium )
The university auditorium that could seat upto 50,000 people was jam packed today as the principal was going to personally congratulate and reward those who had cleared the team rounds and advanced to the individual rounds.
Every student enrolled in the university for nourishment of young talents dreamed of being one of these 64, however, after the difficult merit based race to be one of the top 10,000 and then an even more difficult team round only 64 had the skill to stand above everyone else.
For those who had entered round of 64, it was an opportunity of a lifetime as except the rewards promised by the university, fighting on such a grand stage where various faction leaders, scouts and patriarchs would be present was a great opportunity for them to be recruited into a strong faction with a favourable contract.
