( The next day, Round of 256, The Grand Tournament )
The round of 256 was not held within the grand arena with hundreds of thousands of people watching.
It was rather conducted just like the preliminaries in different parts of the city simultaneously.
Just as Ben and Cervantez had predicted, there were special ice fields created for this round, with the slippery ice surface posing a challenge to all agility type fighters.
While everyone tried to gain information about the next round in advance, not everyone was successful in doing so.
The members of the DarkSky guild knew about the terrain because of Cervantez, while Leo found out because of Ben, however, most contestants only found out about the special ice fields, a few minutes before their fights began.
