As Hathaway spoke, all the Knights who were participating in the upcoming Regional Selection became agitated.
Other than the arena battle in the final round and the Pantheon Monument Observation in the second to last round, the first two stages in every Regional Selection were planned out by the Governor. It could be said that each region's Regional Selection was different from the others.
This was also to ensure that Knights would not specially train themselves in order to meet the examination requirements, meanwhile ending up losing sight of what that was important.
Hathaway spoke gently, "The first stage in this Regional Selection is 'Slashing the Heavenly Pillar'."
Slashing the Heavenly Pillar, true to its name, was to attack a gigantic pillar made of metal alloy.
