The final exam continued with Apollo defeating an opponent he didn't know. The fight, some might say, was repetitive, as the Beggar just bombarded his adversary with Fire Blasts. However, as he used the technique more, he became more proficient, and it grew stronger.
A person standing on one of the viewing decks watched the explosions on stage.
"This person…" Arke squinted his eyes. He could sense that fighting against this small half-masked individual would be challenging. If he wanted to kill Bel, he would need to fight her as soon as possible, or there was a chance he might get injured beforehand—or worse, get defeated. "They should have arranged it."
But thinking about it, it would be too suspicious if, in the first round, he fought Bel and, let's say, 'accidentally' killed her.
It was better if they were pitted against each other before the final fight.
