And if luck would have it, they would shine in front of the public during this week as well.
"All participants will be assigned a number between one to three, to ensure there will be a fair number spread out among the groups, totaling almost 100 participants in each group. Well, the exact number is 92, if you wish to know. Each group will get on the stage and fight it out until only three participants are left standing. This will repeat for the following two groups until we have nine winners. Next, the elders over there." The hosting elder gestured over to a table shaded by paper umbrellas where a total of three old guys were sitting. "They will choose one extra person from each group, in other words, a fourth place if you will, and add the additional three people into the final tournament competition. Then, the twelve participants will duke it out in pairs and the winning student proceeds to the next round. There will be a break before the quarterfinal for lunch and the audience can feel free to go eat at a restaurant or from one of the food stalls the students are selling from. However, be warned that if you don't come back fast, your seat might be taken. The participants will be unable to this arena to make sure no one violates any rules or seek outside aid. For the same reason, no visitors are allowed so bear with the separation a little longer. Due to the odd number in the quarterfinals, there will be one free pass granted to a lucky participant, who will get to rest while you examine your next opponent. The final will take place between the winner of the semifinal and the lucky free pass. The final winner gets a prize of ten thousand Chengyuan points to use around the various facilities within the School. The runner up gets only half that, and the third place only gets a measly two thousand five hundred points. The rest of the 12 tournament participants will get a participation prize of a certificate signed by the Head Elder. It's not easy coming on top from 100 fighters, after all." The hosting elder enthusiastically explained the rules and even added his own flair to them.
The hosting elder pointed to one student standing against the wall and everyone started counting off, ending with three before starting up again. The first group of 92 would go first. Shen Tianyu was a part of the third group, the most troublesome one since people will be even more desperate after seeing the previous two groups' fights. The ones who lose this round will be escorted off the stage and they may continue to watch from the stands if they can find space to squeeze in. They will also be able to leave the arena for the lunch break since they were disqualified already.
'It makes one wonder if she used her family to threaten other people to give in to her.' Shen Tianyu wondered with a yawn. It's not impossible, and although this was supposed to be a fair competition, it's not like the School would go as far as to protect a student and their families outside the academy. If a lower ranked student or commoner really drew the ire of a General, they won't be able to survive it.
The placement of this part of the assessment was determined by how many opponents you defeated. So, third had the lowest number of defeated opponents while the first place had the most. If you were defeated, you would have to leave the stage immediately, and if you tried to play "zombie", that is, continuing the competition even though you have been defeated, you could face possible suspension or even expulsion for endangering the integrity of the assessment. If one was caught doing something like this, the assessment would immediately be stopped and a senior student would drag the offender off the stage in front of everyone's eyes to see. Fortunately, there haven't been such incidents in the previous matches. As suspension or expulsion from the School, whether you may continue or not, would be bad on one's record. Even if you were going to be deemed below requirements and forced to leave the School, if you had that kind of thing on your record, other places would be cautious about employing you because that was a big tell of your character and no one wants a person like that, even in the human underworld.
"Group Three!" As people cleared out of the stage , the hosting elder announced for the final participants to get ready to enter the stage.
Shen Tianyu uncrossed her arms and straightened her back, parting with the wall she had been lazily leaning against. Her short robe fluttered along with her hair as she stepped forward into the light from the minuscule ledge she had been sheltered under. As the final participants gathered themselves, nervously and excitedly, into the stage, crowding against each other to make space for everyone, the array was one again activated to protect the audience.
