Almost all students gathered in the gym, wanting to see the participants. They just wanted to see who could actually finish all the assignments. After all, it was the first time they heard someone entering Hero Rank before graduation, it was an unknown concept.
At the same time, they wanted to see the first-year students who had become Champion Rank. If there were another two years, they might easily reach Hero Rank before graduation.
Hence, most people were curious to see the appearance of the participants.
"Who do you think will win the competition?"
"Will they assemble the team from scratch?"
"But there's no announcement they will do such a thing."
"Indeed. I hope they can assemble the team from scratch. I know that Theodore Griffith has worked hard, but he can easily be replaced by other first-year students. He is just lucky."
"Yeah. I don't even understand why Alea Eilric wants to be in the same group."
