章 262: First round

Once the first arena floor was filled with all 3,000 first-year students, Till climbed the podium with a few teachers next to him, which caused Jason to look up at him weirdly.

'Why is he everywhere?!'

With a light snap of his fingers which he enveloped with mana, Till didn't even need to utter a word as the whole floor turned quiet within a single moment, after which he stepped forward.

"Hello dear students from the three big schools, my name is Till Greil and I'm Vanguard school's representative for the Basic-tournament. 

Before we begin, I want to congratulate everyone to have come this far by defeating dozens of other students in order to claim a tournament seat.

However, this doesn't mean that any of you is extremely special as along with you 2999 other students also managed to grab a seat. Out of this large number, only the Top 25 will receive any rewards."

Stopping for a moment to take a deep breath, he continued.
