The candidates for the inter-academy tournament seriously honed their skills as the promised date slowly approached.
Though Prince Edward and his team were still losing against Alex's Dream Team, their teamwork had grown leagues better than when they first started.
In the beginning, they would lose in less than two minutes. But now, they could last for three minutes!
One minute was a short time. But as trivial as it might sound, they had actually progressed by leaps and bounds. After all, they were fighting opponents whose ranks were higher than theirs.
Everyone from Prince Edward's team was only Rank 3. Meanwhile, Alex's Dream Team, except for Nessia, were either Rank 4 and Rank 5.
That said, Fran had been limiting her strength into Rank 4. Had she fought as Rank 5, the vanguards of Prince Edward's team would be sent flying in less than a minute.
As a frontline fighter with countless boss raids experience under his belt, Alex gave professional advice to Prince Edward's team.
