This squad of disheveled students had clearly rushed over without gathering all their members.
There were only eight of them.
The minimum requirement for the Qualification Tournament was ten Innate Students. An insufficient number was an automatic disqualification.
The person leading the group below the stone stele spoke up again, his voice booming, "All academies, listen up! You must have ten Innate Students to enter the first trial, and you must have at least ten Innate Students when you reach the finish line..."
"In other words, if someone from your team falls behind and you only have nine members by the time you reach the finish line, you will be considered to have failed and will be eliminated."
Hearing this, another uproar erupted in front of the Beast Flame Gate...
As for the disheveled team, they could only rush back to where they had been sleeping to shake their groggy companions awake.
