From MC's Perspective:
Time passed.
Inside the room, one after another, the warriors left for their match. Eventually, it was the members' turn. Senior Riley went to the duel platform. He fought against the blazing flame elemental faction warrior and defeated him.
As time passed, it was the turn of the other members. But they lost their duels, one after another. It was a great shock. I didn't expect them to lose, but their opponents were full of trickery.
Especially Bethany and Craig matched up against the Dark Variant Faction. Their opponents were extremely strong. After fighting for an hour, they lost the duel. Lastly, Gareth lost the duel against the Human Bloodline Faction warrior.
The power shown by the Human Bloodline warrior shocked me as well. I had decided to use purple lightning against him if I faced him in the next round.
As time passed, the first round came to an end. The promising warriors from other factions advanced to the next round as well.
