[Solar Warrior] Suna Montilfali was not a Magister, so there was naturally no reason for her to remain here.
However, since Aurora had chosen to stay, it seemed she had not set aside magic guidance because of her duties at the City Lord's Manor. And since she was preparing to enter the [Heavenly Court], that meant she already possessed at least one [God Card]. Perhaps they would see her in the next [World Cup].
Though Dark had not specifically asked, he could roughly guess that many friends and relatives would once again sign up for this year's [World Cup].
Moreover, compared with last year's shortcomings, after another year of study and growth, they would surely be able to go further in the [World Cup]. Those with greater strength might even have a chance to compete for one of the twelve spots that received the [Gift of God].
However, this year's [World Cup] had already announced that the final sixteen would merely have "a chance" to receive the blessing of the [Divine Path Ritual], rather than being guaranteed one.
—In fact, it had been the same last year. But since it had been stated outright this time, there would likely be even fewer duelists who received the [Gift of God] than before. Perhaps only the top three were guaranteed.
Furthermore, the Twelve Heavenly Gods would most likely not participate personally.
But beyond that, the Magic Guidance Alliance had released another announcement.
Even those who failed to make it into the final sixteen might earn the favor of other awakened gods through outstanding performances in the [World Cup].
The Magic Guidance Alliance would specially establish a seating area in [Duel City] for the gods. Any god could enter without a ticket and watch the duelists' splendid performances from up close.
