If it weren't for the outstanding performances of apprentices from the Storm Faction, no one would have paid attention to this fight. Despite Ice Queen Diana's recent decline in reputation, it didn't diminish the fact that she was a bonafide elite rank-0 apprentice sorcerer. Therefore, it was expected for her to easily claim victory if she encountered any intermediate apprentice sorcerer.
However, the displays of absolute superiority and dominance from the members of the Storm Faction during this event revealed that they couldn't be judged solely based on their power level. Many suspected that their battle prowess could even rival that of elite sorcerers. Whether this theory held true or not, this epic battle of group D would be the ultimate decider.
