The stadium was as loud as ever as the round of 64 was about to start!
Schools from all around the New Rakuya stepped out of their locker rooms and headed to their rings. The fans cheered in excitement.
After arriving at the fifth ring, Karuza High took their places on their benches and watched as their opponent, Konoha High, took their spots in their bench.
Their bench looked quite empty as two of their fighters weren't here. They were in the medical room getting treated for their serious injuries.
In the spectator stands, a few eyes came to check on Karuza High, as they had already started to make a name for themselves after defeating Raimei High.
"Are you ready?" Jin asked.
"Yes." Kiernan wrapped his hands with the white tape and nodded. "What should I expect from my opponent?"
"Your opponent is a young man named Aurel," Jin said. "I don't know why, but he has the title of hero of Konoha."
