Inside the VR world
All the participating students were gathered in what looked like a large arena. The size was incomparably huge as it was big enough to house hundreds of thousands of spectators.
The battleground itself was very large as it covered several kilometres of space in every direction. It was designed so to make room for the occasional changing terrains to have its maximum effect.
That, and the remnants of past battles that would sweep the space from time to time.
The arena was buzzing with the cheers and energy of the spectating students and this time, there were not only first-years but the other year groups as well.
It was a major event for the entire academy whenever tournament-style events occurred.
"I heard the first years are very impressive, especially that kid called Alexander Gray."
"Yep. I caught a few highlights of his fights and I've got to say, he is good. Very good in fact."
