Some of the Academy's staff were watching as well, they're just in a different area. They're also accompanied by a few important figures like City Lords and people from the Royal Lineage as well.
"Ah, so this is the lass that got your attention, City Lordess! I must admit, she's quite formidable!" One of the City Lords remarked upon witnessing Isabella's performance.
