Dai Yaoheng expressed his confusion, "Miss Wang, we ranked first in our group in the round-robin matches. Considering their strength, the Douling Royal Academy should also be the group's first, right? How did we end up drawing them? Aren't the group winners in the round of sixteen only supposed to draw second-placed teams from other groups?"

Wang Yan replied, "Based on strength, the Douling Royal Academy should indeed be the first place in their group. However, the reality is otherwise. A dark horse appeared in their group which also maintained a perfect record before facing them. For some unknown reason, the Douling Royal Academy gave up their final match against that dark horse team, advancing as the second team. It's unexpected that we would clash with them."
