All the matches taking place in the Final Trial took place in quick sessions. Although at the same time, the winners of each duel also got sufficient time to rest and recover.
Sixty-two young Magi had qualified to enter the Final Trial of the Grand Magus Tournament. After the first round, only thirty-two of them remained. After the second round, only sixteen of them had advanced to the next round.
Several audience favourites had been eliminated, while a number of unexpected dark horses had risen to prominence.
Of the sixteen remaining participants, two belonged to the rogue faction. Moreover, they were also the biggest dark horses of the event.
The first was, naturally, Merlin the Mad. Whereas the other one was none other than his party member, Michael Isaac.
The others who had made it to this round from Party A and B were Edward, Lisa, Kahn, and finally Eleiney. The rest, unfortunately, had already been eliminated. The competition was just that fierce.
