Synopsis

The chapter details the start of the second round of the competition, where participants are assigned to platforms based on their ranking from the first round. A character realizes that the placement seems deliberately manipulated to group potential rivals and spies together, specifically on the "Wood" and "Fire" platforms. This manipulation appears designed to isolate and eliminate specific factions, suggesting someone has tampered with the list, adding another layer of intrigue and a challenge to the main character, H Woonhwi, and his allies.
