The second challenge of the Inter-Academy Exchange finally came to an end after several intense hours of fighting on the floating island.
The projection screens showed the last moments of the battles as the remaining students were teleported back to the arena.
The referee raised his staff, his voice booming across the grand hall.
"The second challenge has officially ended! Let us announce the surviving academies!"
The crowd fell into a hushed anticipation as the referee continued.
"Out of the participating academies, two have been completely eliminated. The remaining academies are… Clementine's Sword & Magic Academy, Gloria Academy, and Dragon Slaying Academy!"
The hall erupted in loud cheers. The three main academies had survived, as expected, but the fact that only these three remained made the competition even more exciting for the upcoming challenges.
The referee smiled as he continued.
