"…And once again, the Bastion of Crimson and Silver proves why they stand at the top!"

Honestly, Cedric found it somewhat disturbing that they didn't seem to mind that out of the thirty cadets who had gone up to Isola Bella, only twenty-one had returned.

Yet, the announcer treated this as a minor detail, and the crowd roared on, indifferent to the blood spilled for their entertainment.
There were always casualties during the Triad Supremacy Games. Most times, these were the result of cadets falling prey to the creatures on Isola Bella.
