The main training hall was packed.
All first-year Silver Crown students had been summoned all sections combined.
At the front stood multiple professors: Professor Ashton for combat, Professor Aldric for essence theory, Professor Mills for tactical coordination, and several others whose specialties would be needed for tournament preparation.
Professor Ashton's voice cut through the noise. "Attention!"
Silence fell immediately.
"The tournament is in four days. You've had individual training. Now we coordinate." She gestured to the other professors. "We will be assigning roles based on your evaluation scores, combat performance, and aptitude assessments conducted over the past months."
Professor Aldric stepped forward, pulling out a long scroll. "The tournament consists of three main categories. Individual Combat. Team Strategy Trials, groups of five, objective-based challenges. Essence Mastery Challenges."
