(Third PoV)
The stands are filled with students, a lot of them. Most of them are from the second to fourth years, with only a few first-year students in the stands.
The reason why the students have appeared in such a large number is due to the tournament that was going to be held in a few minutes.
It was exclusive for the first years. So, most of the audience were seniors, except for a few first-year students, who didn't think that they would be fit to fight in this tournament.
There are only ten spots for rewards, and these non-participants were not dumb enough to think that they would win one of those spots. Many of those who didn't participate in the tournament backed away because they were either afraid or didn't want to show their cards at the moment.
It can be understood.
