The next morning, just like the day before, all the first-year students headed towards the academy hall, eagerly anticipating the second round.
Once everyone had arrived and settled down, Professor Liam stepped forward and stood in the center of the hall. He glanced at the hundred students who had advanced from the first round and wasted no time in calling different students up on stage.
The remaining students who had lost the previous day watched from the audience, either cheering or feeling envious of the qualified participants.
Similar to the first round, Kyle, Alec, and the others easily defeated their opponents, securing their spots in the third round without much difficulty.
Out of the hundred students, fifty made it to the third round. And just like Kyle thought, the professors made sure not to match up the top ten students against each other, so all of them could advance to the next round.
