Time passed without anyone daring to get even close to the spire that Diluc and the rest of his group is on, the competitors they had in this part of the trials intendedly avoiding them in fear of them, particularly him, the strongest in their group, retaliating, which all of them believe will either amount to mutual destruction at best, and being completely eliminated from the competition at the worst for anyone who would even dare think of challenging them.
This phenomenon of them being avoided at all cost makes a pretty hilarious show from the audience's perspective, the fact that instead of the ones standing on the highest spires being the ones who were avoided by the less talented students at all cost, there is another place a bit down below them that the freshmen are avoiding even more than where they currently stands, something that can be confirmed to be a first time by most of the olden instructors as well as the ones who knows the history of the academy really well.
