Breaking the Seal Within Me
This "Griffon Festa" not only rebuilt the Sirius Dome, but also strengthened the defenses of the other four secondary stages.
In other words, this preliminary round will be held in five venues: A, B, C, D, and E!
The preliminary rounds for Group A were held at the Sirius Dome!
The first preliminary match of Group A is being held here now.
"The person I told you two to pay attention to is this man who's about to appear!"
William's words directly interrupted Cecily and Zhao Hufeng, who were preparing to take a break. Their match was the 20th in Group B, and they still had plenty of free time.
Upon hearing William's words, both of them immediately raised their heads and watched the contestant who was about to enter the arena.
After all, even William showed some respect for this player, so naturally they would be quite curious about him!
The massive pillar lowered its connecting rod, and a man and a woman slowly walked out from inside.
He has this head of fluffy purple hair!
His face wore a relaxed and carefree smile, without the slightest hint of tension, and in his hand he held the azure blue Radiant Activation Body.
The girl had long, flowing hair as beautiful as a rose.
Her pupils were a pale blue, like new leaves; her nose was high and straight; and her skin was as white as the first snow.
As the man and woman continued to move forward, Cecily and Zhao Hufeng both revealed knowing smiles.
"Ah! You mean the 'Glory Flame Witch'!"
"She is indeed a formidable opponent, but I think I should be able to handle her on my own."
Cecily maintained her languid demeanor, but her words subtly expressed her approval of the contestant known as "The Glory Flame Witch."
"That's right! Her skills are undeniable, but her choice of teammates this time is a bit problematic."
"Otherwise, her team would be a strong contender for second place in this competition!"
Zhao Hufeng glanced at the information of the man next to him and then began to speak somewhat boredly.
His statement wasn't without merit, given that the man had no official ranking.
In this academy, almost every student participates in an intra-school ranking competition as soon as they enroll to determine their strength within the school.
Unranked contestants like these are eliminated in the first round of the Festas. Even "Glory Flame Witch," who ranked fifth in the Seidoukan, would have a hard time making it past the preliminaries.
After all, the "Griffon Festa" is not like the "Gryps Festa" in terms of unexpected factors; in the end, victory in this Festas still depends on strength.
Tactics, while useful, are not the sole determinant of victory or defeat.
"Right, William!"
But just as Zhao Hufeng was about to confirm his statement with William, he discovered that William was nowhere to be found in the room.
Not only William, but even Kirin disappeared; only he and Cecily remained.
Where are they?!
Zhao Hufeng looked at Cecily, who was lying on the sofa, with a puzzled expression.
"I don't know, maybe they went to prepare for the competition!"
"Ayato, you did a great job today!"
The girl walked side by side with the boy, her hands behind her back, a satisfied smile on her face.
He clearly seemed quite satisfied with his result in today's match.
"Really? Well, thank you so much for your compliment!"
The boy named Ayato narrowed his eyes slightly, humbly accepting the girl's praise.
"But Julis! It seems everyone already believes your ideas."
"My ritual of freeing myself from my shackles seems to have been interpreted in a way that everyone expected, leading them to think in a different direction."
"There's no other way. After all, Ayato, you only have five minutes to go all out. This absolutely cannot be exposed!"
"If this weakness is exposed, the other contestants will definitely exploit it and start stalling for time from the moment they enter the arena."
The girl named Julis sighed softly.
The boy immediately scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly, while also touching the inside of his belt.
"I'm sorry, Julis, if you hadn't been in a team with me, you probably wouldn't have needed to go through all this trouble."
Don't say that!
Julis immediately shook her head, then looked at Ayato's hand as he reached for his belt with a hint of relief.
"Don't we still have a move hidden that could be considered a finishing move?"
The two people currently having a conversation are the "Glory Flame Witch" who just came down from the stage and an unranked male duo.
They were walking through the players' tunnel, heading to their lounge for lunch to watch the rest of the match.
"Yo--!"
"Ayato Amagiri, it's been almost a year since we last saw each other!"
P. S.: Because someone told me it's easy to get blocked by Kaspersky, my leave request failed, so I can only post this one and only saved post. Ugh, thanks for the donations, I'll come back tomorrow.

Julis
A male voice echoed in the empty corridor.
His response was met with an instinctive wary stance from Julis and a man named Ayato.
But when they looked closely at the source of the voice...
Julis's face was immediately filled with surprise, and she couldn't help but exclaim.
