Bab 2005: Pearl's Plans

The day of the tournament.

Sam went to the Apollo Academy at the dawn. The main gate of the academy is flooded. Not with just participants, but with hundreds of participants who registered for the tournament.

Even before they could enter the gate, one of the Elders came out and said.

"This year, the number of participants has increased by many times compared to the previous years. So, we made special arrangements. The preliminaries are going to be held within the Hub's simulation area.

All the participants will be given the same simulation. In an environment where they need to fight beasts of a very special kind. The more beasts you kill, the higher your score is going to be and the top 16 participants will enter the final tournament.

Now, all of you please collect your participation token in the academy and go to the Hub."

The Elder announced and left.
