Time passed with the crowd buzzing with thrill, and Skyler standing in the spotlight.
After his ninth battle of the day—which he won effortlessly—the first day of battles in the Annual Gala finally came to an end.
It was evening by the time he finally exited the arena complex. As the host brought the day's events to a close, the crowd began to pour out of the stands—many planning to return the next morning, since the Annual Gala would continue for an entire week.
The city in front of the academy was filled with visitors who had traveled specifically to witness the yearly Gala, most of whom had booked hotel rooms well in advance.
That's why this time of year was the most busiest, with countless vendors setting up stalls and shops throughout Malor City.
Because of the influx of people, the royal family, government, and many academies always joined forces to maintain order and ensure the Gala proceeded without a hitch.
