The third trial of the Inter-Academy Tournament began a few days after the second challenge ended.
The grand arena was once again packed with spectators, the excitement in the air even higher than before.
This was the second-to-last stage where all years of each academy would join together in one massive challenge.
The referee stood on the central platform, his voice amplified by powerful magic as he addressed the crowd and the participants.
"Welcome to the third and second-to-last trial of the Inter-Academy Exchange! In this challenge, all years - 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th - from each remaining academy will fight together as one team. Only one academy will be eliminated, leaving the two remaining academies in a 1v1 situation for the ultimate championship!"
The crowd erupted in loud cheers.
The screens showed the participants from Clementine's Sword & Magic Academy, Gloria Academy, and Dragon Slaying Academy gathering in their respective areas.
