Lysette Crowlorne was one of the few who only started watching the tournament on the sixth day. Even though she, too, was a student of the Royal Academy and was an aura user at the second mantle, she did not join the tournament.
It was better for her that her abilities remain hidden. Besides, she understood that she likely wouldn't have made it past the fourth day, especially if she met the true monsters of the younger generation.
Based on the information she had gathered, she had pretty much guessed who would reach the quarter-finals.
As she predicted, those monsters had reached the quarter-finals, but when she watched the matches in person, she understood that the information she heard, though accurate, looked completely different when she saw it with her own eyes.
The air itself trembled with each roar from the stands. The clash of aura, steel, and spells carried a weight that reports could never capture.
