The live broadcast of the Academy Festival surpassed ten million viewers in an instant, a number unprecedented in the history of Awakened combat.

This figure only accounted for the official streams provided by the national associations. Including TV broadcasts and other mediums, the total viewership would be even higher.

Given these numbers, it was no exaggeration to say that the entire world’s attention was on the Academy right now.

• Murmurs, murmurs.

“To think they’d actually fight….”
“Ninomiya versus Seo Yujin? Unbelievable.”

What had captured the world’s focus was the once-in-a-lifetime prospect of a battle between S-Class Awakened.
