"Now, for the moment we've all been waiting for—the selection of groups! May we call on our representatives from each university!" the announcer declared, his voice echoing across the grand arena.
The crowd erupted into cheers and applause. The spotlight then shifted to the arena, where the representatives of the five major universities stood proudly, each adorned with the insignia of their respective academies—Enchanted Academy, Vermillion Spire, Moonviel Academy, Phoenixspire Academy, and Arcane Academy.
"I'll explain the rules first. Each invited university's representatives will be transported here to the arena. Currently, we have 24 students from the five major universities. However..." He paused dramatically, his grin widening. "Only 12 students will advance to form the two teams for the final mock battle."
