There was a fourth a little behind them but he wasn't overshadowed by any means, just a little less experienced.

'Hm... I might not have to even draw my sword for this round with the way this is going.' Shen Tianyu thought to herself as she parried another attack and punched her attacker off the stage. Even after fighting more than forty people, she still didn't show any indication of slowing down. Not even a drop of sweat could be seen on her brows. 

Every person in the stands were looking at her in awe while the elders had already ordered a few senior students to find out who she was. She alone had taken down forty people while the remaining three other main contestants barely took down twenty. The gap between her and the runner-ups was too huge. 

The challengers were inching further and further away from her. She already secured her place in the contestants going to the next round anyways so there wasn't a need to come after them. 

"Ohh... I didn't know she was such a good swords-woman, looks like she was barely trying in class." Lun Aoman was a part of the first group and had made it into the next round.

'I didn't see him in the rest room. I'll have to say hi later.' Shen Tianyu thought as she glanced over at him standing against the wall. 

Lun Aoman had a bit of a sister complex but his sword skills weren't bad. While Lun Chang took on the Internal Medicine Stage of the Medical Division, her brother was initiated in the Sword Department in order to protect her. The reason for the former's decision was to help her business run better and it would certainly better the reputation of her shop if she herself was a practitioner of medicine that graduated from a certified School. 

Seeing that no one dared come for her, Shen Tianyu decided to let them go and stood still in her spot, her arms crossed in front of her chest. The other three potential winners were not exactly struggling with the remaining thirty but they weren't having an easy time either. It seemed to her that there was a sort of alliance between them, with none of them intruding in another's attack domain. Each of them were fighting a portion of the other contestants but weren't helping each other out. The other contestants had already realized that if they wanted a spot in the next round, these three were the ones to aim for. 

The fourth place was a boy wearing grey robes with camellia flowers scattered all over it. He was struggling a little more than the other two but he still stood his ground. The second place was another man, who wore a dull yellow with dark yellow pansies and a white inner robe peaking out. The second place was another girl with a turquoise outer robe scattered with soft pink azaleas. 

"I wouldn't do that if I were you." A cold echo that had the pitch of a woman's voice. A shiver ran down his spine and he physically shuddered, dropping his sword in the process. He turned his head to find a smiling Shen Tianyu, looking as if nothing was wrong at all. However, her eyes told a completely different story. As the man was still paralyzed from shock, never before feeling such thick murderous intent, Shen Tianyu lifted him up by the arm like she was helping him up and threw him out of the stage and it's barrier. When he landed on the ground, butt meeting the hard dirt, she picked up his sword too, aimed, and threw it at him. His own sword landed between his leg, the blade barely a finger's width from his crotch. He looked so scared he almost wet himself.

"Damn disgraceful coward." Lun Aoman spat from his side of the arena. They were allowed to use their swords but deadly attacks were forbidden by the Department. He was obviously aiming for someone's head just because he couldn't get a place in the top four, it was completely unbecoming of a swordsman. 

Other people also saw this from outside the arena and a senior student hauled that man from the arena, probably throwing him out. The elders didn't seem pleased by the action either. 

Shen Tianyu went back to her spectating position. Bored of watching the fight, she scanned the crowd instead for her sister and fiancee. Rong Jian was giving her a very visible smile while Bai Yaoxuan was cheering her on with all of her being, flailing arms and all. Ningwu Liushan seemed to be trying to calm the latter down in case she accidentally hit someone. Shen Tianyu waved at them both with a smile, motioning for Bai Yaoxuan to sit down. 

At the hosting elder's signal, the last round for the first match ended. As expected, the fourth participant to advance from this match was the boy with grey robes, who was holding his knees while panting. Only Shen Tianyu, who was first place, looked like she hadn't even broken a sweat. Shen Tianyu was also, unofficially, considered the ultimate winner of this match because she had the highest number of points, even compared to the winners of the other two rounds. As the array faded once again, the hosting elder announced a lunch break and recounted, again, that the winners to participate in the next match was not allowed to leave the arena nor have any visitors. If there was any food they wish to eat to replenish their energy, they could put in a request with the senior student guarding them outside of the resting room.
