[ Bonus Chapter N - 1 ]
_____ ___ _
One day after, the quarter-finals started.
Adrian's first event was the Arcane Knowledge Quiz, and he passed it without much difficulty and advanced to the semi-finals. There was one girl who posed the greatest challenge to him in this event, and from what he knew she was a reader and was always at the library. Her theory knowledge was strong, and after he checked it, he found out she took the 7th or 8th place back in the Aetheric Theory Exam.
But, he wasn't too worried. What worried him was the current situation.
"Now, ladies and gentlemen, we move on to the highly anticipated Individual Combat Event!" the male announcer's voice boomed through the arena, capturing the attention of everyone present. "The quarter-finals will consist of single-elimination matches, where contestants will be randomly assigned an opponent. Each match will be held on a different day."
