Chapter 75: Drawing the ballots
The matches to finalize the top five finished without major upsets. It was beyond doubt that the top ten were indeed better than those ranked from eleven to twenty.
The matches to decide the top five would happen on the same day.
With the passage of time only the sun lowered in the sky, not the spectators' enthusiasm. On the contrary. It seemed to have even risen higher.
'I wonder how they will arrange the following matches,' Hex wondered as he heard the crowd screaming in the stands.
'They are probably wondering the same thing. At this point they can't use the rankings anymore.'
Hex was sure that Conrad would try something sleazy this round. It was the best round to eliminate the stronger foes without endangering Clannad's image.
'But he can't have Clannad face the easiest opponent. It will destroy the momentum my old friend has built up so far for himself.'
Right then the hostess started to calm the crowd in the stands.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please calm down," she shouted till the voices started to become softer and softer.
"I know how excited you all are to see even more. But before we can have those fights, opponents need to be matched with each other.
In the first matches we used the ranking of the first round. This time we will draw ballots."
