There was still an endless stream of fights before Zion turned came.
At his turn, he was able to easily defeat his opponent and advance to the next round.
Soon, the semi-final was about to begin. Sure enough, Toby won and was set to advance to the final.
Zion confidently stood up as his turn came. He would be up against a fellow first year.
"Hmph!"
He could only wait for this pointless battle to end. Zion's opponent was Ranked 6 in mid-term, one rank above Zero. His name is Edwin Diaz.
Zion has never even put a Top-10 student of Third-years in his eyes, not to mention the Top ranker of first-years. He believed the fight to be useless as the outcome was pretty much already predetermined.
The match started and, as many of the audience expected, Zion won. But it was not the swift and easy win that Zion had expected. Edwin was able to match Zion in strength and Zion could not overwhelm him easily.
