Sanne Dali had since been grounded, while Ivo Werner was too embarrassed to stay in contention.
That in turn led to Zamri losing the participation of a good number of martial elites.

"Don't worry," Frank assured Mr. Zoran, clapping him on the shoulder. "In the end, Riverton and Zamri share four berths, right? I can promise you that my party will take three. How about that?" "For real?" Mr. Zoran exclaimed, but he could not hide his look of skepticism.
After all, he had seen the brief melee between Scarface and Mr. Quaker's nephew and could see that Scarface might not necessarily win.
"Don't worry. I'm sure," Frank said confidently, and Mr. Zoran eventually left, still skeptical.
Beside him, Scarface heard what Frank had promised Mr. Zoran and was himself concerned. "Brother Lawrence, I have to agree with Mr. Zoran. That boy is as formidable as he is quick-I might not necessarily win!" "Don't worry. I will teach you a technique right now-you just need the basics of it to beat him," Frank said, appearing quite confident, while Scarface remained doubtful.
The two hour break was soon over.
Despite his misgivings and constant glance at Frank's direction, Mr. Zoran eventually braced himself and went on stage with Mr. Quaker, the Riverton Martial Alliance branch manager.

Even as he glanced at the towering figure of Heartfar, he wished for a miracle inwardly-that the Riverton martial artists would not claim all four qualifier berths! However, things only got worse from there.
After Heartfar got onto the floating platform in the middle of the lake, he spoke as all the audience and other martial artists looked on. "I'm requesting a change in the rules."

On the other hand, Mr. Quaker was flashing a sly smile—he and his nephew had planned this beforehand, after all.
"Since this is a joint qualifier for Riverton and Zamri, I, Heartfar Quaker shall represent Riverton in issuing a challenge against all Zamri participants. I will take them all on!" Content belongs to en kikistoriesHis words sent the crowd in an uproar.
IMS On the other hand, Scarface, Mona, Kat, and the other two Zamri participants who qualified in the free-for-all earlier were glowering.
It was obvious that Heartfar was issuing a naked provocation against all Zamri participants.
"The talent pool in Zamri has dried up, and the martial artists there are pathetic." Meanwhile, Heartfar was smirking as everyone watched. "I therefore believe none of the Zamri participants deserve any qualifying berths. Riverton will take them all instead!" Content belongs to en.kikistories.com
