While everyone was looking at the scoreboard, most of them with disappointed looks, Astaroth scanned the names of the players moving to the next stage. He was happy to see four familiar ones.
All the players from their makeshift team from phase one had passed to the next phase, with two of them being very close not to. Gulnur and I'die were talented players but lacked experience, which showed in their scores.
Both of them had lost two fights and won three, putting them at the very bottom of the top thirty-two. But they made the cut as he had expected.
Astaroth stopped looking at the board and started scanning the crowd. He eventually saw who he was looking for and walked his way.
His quarry was standing only a few meters away, trying to blend into the crowd as much as possible. When he noticed Astaroth walking towards him, he tried disappearing into the crowd.
