For years, the exchange meeting had been nothing more than Thunderclap Academy's stage. Lunar Academy occasionally struggled for a little glory, while this southern Academy was treated as a joke, only there to make the other two look brighter.
Yet today, the so-called "weakest academy" had produced two finalists, while even the Thunderclap Academy only had Zion Blackstar standing alone.
This single change was enough to make countless eyes shift toward the Imperial Academy team. Surprise, disbelief, curiosity, and even a faint trace of fear stirred among the crowd.
But despite the murmurs, the confidence of Thunderclap Academy's supporters never wavered.
Because Zion Blackstar's name alone was like an iron seal pressed onto the outcome. As long as he stood in the finals, the victory was destined to belong to Thunderclap Academy.
