“Next Evaluation match, Team 3 against Team 4!” Ray announces the next match.
Like the previous group, Ray had also guessed which team would win the evaluation match of the ongoing match.
Team 3 contained more people who took Ray's regulated training seriously, therefore their basic abilities improved quite well. Although in overall talent according to Ray they still lost to Team 2 who previously won the previous evaluation match but they could certainly be better than Team 4 who became his opponent.
After the match lasted for approximately fifteen minutes, Team 3 finally came out as the winner according to Ray's previous prediction.
Then, just like his previous instructions Team 4 was given time to rest for fifteen minutes before carrying out his punishment and Team 3 could rest while waiting for the evaluation match of the last eight.
Ray then began to announce the next evaluation match according to the order of the five-man team he had formed earlier.
The match continued with Team 5 against Team 6 which was then won by Team 6 after the match ran for ten minutes.
The next match between Team 7 against Team 8 was won by Team 8 after thirty minutes.
With the passage of time the evaluation matches take place according to the pre-determined order of the teams.
Team 9 against Team 10, which Team 9 won after a ten-minute match.
Team 11 against Team 12, which Team 12 won after fifteen minutes.
Team 13 against Team 14, which Team 14 won after eight minutes.
After the top sixteen game was over, each losing team was given a fifteen minute break before starting their penalty. Meanwhile all the winning teams are given a break of thirty minutes counted from the last game completed.

Time passed, already thirty minutes had passed from the last match of the last round of sixteen of the evaluation match. Now Ray announces a round-of-eight match that starts with Team 2 against Team 3.
The match was quite exciting after Team 3 did a lot of coordination attacks and good teamwork, he said, so that managed to make Team 2 cornered and almost defeated if only the chairman of Team 2 did not take the decision to make two members hold Team 3 coordination. And finally Team 2 managed to win by a narrow margin when there was only one person who could still stand on stage.
“Team 2 should be able to win without the need to take ‘sacrifice’ like this, they already made a fatal mistake during the opening of the evaluation match... Huh... They should be able to eliminate their habit of underestimating opponents who look weaker than them.” Ray let out a long sigh and felt a little disappointed by the appearance of Team 2.
In the predictions that have been arranged Ray, Team 2 should be able to waltz into the semi-finals with enough ease and in the condition of complete members standing on the stage. But now Ray sees only one still standing on the stage, in other words Team 2 failed to take advantage of their superiority in their sword skills.
“Ray, you don't have to be disappointed, even though Team 2 shows substandard capabilities. But on the other hand Team 3 showed their talent in coordination and teamwork.” Ralf chimed in when he heard Ray sigh in disappointment, he tried to make Ray see from another point of view. Because now Ralf can also see that there is still another first other than the team that has been made Ray to enter the semi-finals since the beginning.
“I also know about it, Ralf. It's just that the coordination ability of Team 3 is still included in my calculations and should be Team 2 can still perform much better than they show now.” Ray chimed in on Ralf's words.
“Hahaha... Good, if you understand it too.” Ralf laughed when he heard Ray's reply.
Ray who saw Ralf laughing just shook his head, until now he still could not find the main character Ralf. Because of all the changes in the nature of Ralf that often occur repeatedly.
After the small conversation between Ralf and Ray was over, the evaluation match continued with the match between Team 6 against Team 8.
