The Headmaster's words struck Vale with a mixture of concern and confusion.

While he understood the importance of the Tower Ascension, Vale knew well that their Academy would gain more attraction to the audience if they won the duel.

The duel tournament, or the Clash of Champions, was undoubtedly the best place to show off.

Vale realized that his own personal strength and readiness for the Tower Ascension were crucial, even if it meant making difficult decisions in the tournament.
