...…
It took a while for the first trial to end due to the nature of the trial itself. However, a series of surprises occurred along the way, leading to unexpected results.
The winners of the first round were Ryoto and the one who seemed to be wielding a polearm weapon on the other battlefield.
Swoosh!
After returning to their platform, Ryoto could not help but furrow his brows in confusion due to the strange decision of his opponent during the final moments of their battle.
Right before the battle ended, both sides used their strongest moves to take down each other, thinking of finishing the battle with that final move.
However, right before their attacks could even reach each other, a strange occurrence happened. His opponent seemed to have purposely withdrawn their strength and lost on purpose during that crucial moment, throwing him into confusion.
