Outside the island challenge area, in the grand viewing hall of the Inter-Academy Exchange, a massive crowd had gathered.
Huge projection screens floated in the air, showing live footage of the battles happening across the island.
The final day was the most anticipated part of the event, and the hall was packed with students, professors, nobles, and important figures from all over the kingdom.
Headmistress Gloria stood at the front, her golden eyes fixed on the screen showing her academy's camp.
Her expression was cold and focused, but there was a faint tension in her posture.
Beside her, Aurora stood with her arms crossed, her voluptuous figure drawing many glances, but her eyes were locked on the same screen with a small, satisfied smile.
The crowd erupted in cheers and gasps as Gray's [Severing Pursuit] played out on the screens.
"Did you see that?!" a young student shouted.
"He cut through everything with one move!"
A nobleman standing nearby nodded in awe.
