It was quite unexpected how easily Skyler acquired the 'Participant's Position' for the tournament.
Professor Misha and the rest of the Honoured Ones were thrilled to have two students participating in the tournament. They were excited, but they were also worried that they would face high-ranking students.
Meanwhile, the Mystic Scholars were upset. They blamed Frey for being a cheater. In the end, they ended up being one. Not only did they face defeat, but they also bore the consequences of Zara's dirty performance.
Yet few of them were motivated instead of feeling disgraceful. Among them were Adler Lowery and Rowan Leach.
They were the most competent in fighting after Zara. They both wielded single grace and were stage 9.
Adler wielded 'Grace of Aqua' while Rowan wielded 'Grace of Fire'. Despite having a stage down from the Aspiring Sovereigns, they held almost equal ground. Zara and Alex's defeat were nothing but lessons to them.
