Standing atop the platform belonging to Edith Academy, Tilan's eyes followed each duel at the center of the venue, gauging the differences between competitors.
The fourth round consisted of twenty-four matches, which might seem many, but the time allocated for each duel wasn't long, averaging only three to four minutes. As the tournament progressed, it was fast becoming her turn to take the stage.
"Match number twelve, Edith Academy, Hexia Tilan, versus Lelysia Academy, Ahmed."
After the announcement by the host, a wave of surprise rippled through the audience. Only then did they notice that the girl in the center of the Edith Academy's group was not a cheerleader but an official competitor in this grand tournament.
"She's only in her second year, right? Does she already have a Sequence 5?"
"Her tempo of advancement surpasses even that of Bettina, who has been blessed by an angel."
