Unsurprisingly, Kain finished at the top of his group and will enter Phase 2 to compete for ranks 1-8.
All of his battles ended almost as quickly as the first one. The longest battle was against the rank 10 student, but still did not surpass 1 minute.
Similarly, Serena, Soren, Ranya, and Kairos also ran through their opponents with incredible speed. Therefore, Kain was unable to obtain any more practical information on their contracts' skills.
Among the other seeds, ranks 6 and 8 also advanced at the top of their groups, but there was one surprise within group 7. The rank 15 Lucas advanced at the top of group 7. Therefore the original seed of that group will at best be able to compete for rank 9 in Phase 2.
Addison and Aiden easily advanced in second place of groups 4 and 5, respectively.
