The first round ended amidst cheers, disappointment, and endless discussions.
Thousands of eliminated participants slowly left the mountain region while the thousand successful qualifiers gathered near the central stage. The giant projection screens floating above the academy continuously replayed important moments from the competition. Every famous genius had become the topic of discussion.
Mark Smith was the first person to obtain a flag.
Emma Rock bulldozed through multiple challengers.
Several hidden talents shocked the world.
And Tony Clark...
Tony Clark somehow managed to make people angry despite qualifying successfully.
Even now, many participants complained about him.
Not because he cheated.
Not because he broke any rules.
But because his method felt shameless.
While everyone else fought through pressure formations, climbed dangerous routes, and battled dozens of competitors, Tony seemed to appear exactly where opportunities emerged.
Nobody could prove anything.
