Thank you to Andy for commissioning this episode!
In this section we wind up at the Ninecloud Empire for the tournament and it's a close thing for Yerin & Co. regarding their arrival in time to qualify. I'm shocked at how cavalier everyone is regarding the attacks on the way to the competition, and I keep questioning why the damn dragons are even allowed in the tournament. HOW IS THIS ALLOWED???
Also, we get to see the start of Round 1 and it's very different than what I was expecting. It's more structured and methodical than I thought, although I kind of like it.
Thanks so much for listening, and I will see you again soon with a new episode!
