The national stadium was packed to capacity. Nearly half a million people filled the seats, while countless others watched through magical projections across the kingdom.

The air was thick with anticipation, the cheers of the crowd vibrating through the walls. Dabi stood with his teammates, ready for the tournament's first round, the Forest of Shadows.

As the announcer's voice echoed through the stadium, excitement stirred among the spectators.

"Welcome to the grand National Ranking Tournament! Today, we witness the skills, strategies, and strength of the finest academies in the kingdom.
