The first challenge of the Inter-Academy Exchange came to a decisive end as the last remaining students from the eliminated academies were teleported off the island.
The projection screens in the grand viewing hall showed the final moments of the battles, and the entire hall fell into a stunned silence for a few seconds before erupting into loud cheers and discussions.
The referee, standing on the central floating platform, raised his hand to quiet the crowd. His voice, amplified by powerful magic, echoed through the entire hall.
"The first challenge of the Island Survival has officially ended! Let us announce the number of surviving students from each academy!"
The crowd leaned forward in anticipation, the screens showing close-up views of the remaining students from each academy.
"From Gloria Academy… only the main core students have survived. Twelve students remain."
