In the first round, only fourteen participants were able to pass but that did not mean only they would be able to participate in the upcoming test. The people who had failed would also get a chance to compete in the future rounds but their chance of winning the whole thing now was almost non existent. The failed participants needed to show some kind of extraordinary talent if they wanted Elena to consider them.
Actually Elena was satisfied with one of the failed candidate. That person's name was Ullar and his failing was not really his fault. He was just way too unlucky. After entering the forest, he immediately came across one of the overlords ruling the forest, a level 275 viper with extremely strong poison.
