The Second Academy dawned in a heated and amused clamor the following day.
Participating in the Battle of the Halls was a big deal for all the students, either for the experience or to try to get at least one victory. In addition, virtually any student can participate, although if they are not among the '3 chosen per hall', the rewards will be less.
This hall battle takes place in the Second Academy Arena.
All the students gathered there first thing in the morning; many were anxious, some were nervous, some of the stronger ones were quiet, and others just watched from the stands.
Although all could participate, not all were going to. Some would wait until the second year to try because they knew that in the first year, they would only be embarrassed.
First thing in the morning, the academy directors and many teachers arrived.
