A month has passed since the start of the Elite Trial. More and more teams were eliminated from fighting demon beasts, other teams, or even the unpredictable environment itself.
Most of the students realized that the environment itself was more dangerous than the demon beasts and people are far more difficult to deal with than the environment. False alliances, betrayal, coercion, and other dirty tactics were employed just to win. Team members deceive each other to maximize benefits and fight for their own interests.
In the elite trial, the majority of the teams realized that unity was far more important and it should be their priority. After a month, the elite trial was about to enter the climax. The no.3, 2, and 1 high schools' elite students are the only last teams standing. Besides them, everyone was eliminated.
It further showed the gap between the quality of students.
