424 Confrontation [1]

After the incident with Emma, the tournament was put on hold for a couple of days.

The reason why it was put on hold had nothing to do with Emma, in truth. Instead, it was because the preparations for broadcasting the tournament throughout each domain were ready.

Since it required a lot of mana to broadcast the events, the leaders only chose to start broadcasting them at the round of thirty-two.

With radio frequencies being blocked by the barrier enveloping Issanor, normal broadcasting means couldn't be used. Hence, the long waiting time.

At least this applied to the human side as they needed to make the proper arrangements. They weren't as advanced as the other races after all. 

"Congrats on passing the round."

Meeting up with Ava and Hein, I first congratulated Ava who had actually passed the round.
