On the fifteenth of each month, the academy opens the arena for two days. During this period, the second-year students engage in competitive duels with each other for exciting rewards, earned according to their ranking by the end of the second day.
Third years were not allowed in the competition, being busy with their assignments and high-ranked quests, while first years were not allowed because of their low skills and inexperience. However, they could enter the competition if they reached a suitable level by the beginning of the second semester.
As for Vlad, thanks to his title as Crownbearer, he could enter the arena competition in the first semester itself.
After buying the Dark Heart from the Mystic Vault, he rushed through the market, reaching the towering structure about a kilometre away in the distance.
