Listening to Dante explain what happened during the 13th Monster Wave, the rest of the Earth's Alpha Chosen went wild with their thoughts and gulped unconsciously.
Especially, picturing how overwhelmingly powerful the monsters were according to Dante's description and how even Jay was helpless against those monsters had made them wonder if they could have lasted even a second in the 13th Monster Wave.
Whatever confidence they had procured from being the most powerful team in the Tournament and outweighing the other teams' Evaluation Scores by a lot was drained right out of them.
After all, when facing a Tier-5 or higher-tiered individuals, it doesn't matter even if the Earth's Alpha Chosen stood at the very top among the million trial zone teams in the Trial Program.
Although experiencing a virtual death under the hands of Tier-5 monsters had left quite an impression on Jay, he wasn't as overwhelmed as the rest of his team members. Instead, his thirst for power grew even further.
More trial zone teams were sent out of their allotted Reality Emulators as time passed. The ones who came out couldn't help themselves from staring at the Earth's Alpha Chosen in disbelief after learning their Round-2 Evaluation Score.
As soon as the last remaining one, the Atlanis Trial Zone Team completed their Round-2, the Round-2 Evaluation Score was refreshed for one last time before finalising the results.

Compared to the trial zone team rankings in Round-1, there were just two changes in Round-2 rankings.
Moreover, each team will have to fight every other team by the end of Round-3 to decide the final rankings. Alright, enough with this for now. I shall announce the specifics after the 2nd Intermission. Let us end Round-2 here."
With that, everyone in the Colosseum began vacating through the four exit gates.
This time Felarial didn't approach the Earth's Alpha Chosen and watched them leave along with the Atlans and the Rock Magmoids.
He didn't ask them for their decisions and decided to wait till the end of the Tournament.
Another reason for not approaching them was to do with Jay. Felarial didn't wish to antagonise Jay anymore than he did at the end of Round-1.
If he had prior knowledge of what would happen upon using an information-prying skill on Jay, he would never have done that in the first place and stumbled onto Jay's bad side.
Jay's performance back in Round-1 made Felarial cautious in his presence, but after going through Jay's individual Evaluation Score in Round-2, he couldn't help but be fearful.
Excluding the Team Bonus Points, Jay alone scored 4.3 Million Points!!
Felarial knew it had to do with the ink-black fog Jay used to cover the barren battlefield to blind the senses of monsters.
Even with such a method, reaching the 13th Monster Wave was next to impossible, but somehow the Earth trial zone team accomplished it.
With a total of 10.3 million points, Felarial didn't believe any other team in the Milky Way Trial Program could beat the Earth's team.
His thoughts weren't without grounds; after all, the highest ever recorded Team Score for Round-2 in the Trial Programs conducted in the System-assimilated Universe was 7.7 million.
One must remember that the 1st Tournament of almost all those Trial Programs took place on Day-30, whereas the Milky way Trial Program had it on Day-10.
That would mean the Alpha Chosen from the Milky Way Galaxy only had one-third the time for growth.
Despite those odds, the Earth trial zone team came over the top with a score that broke apart common logic.
If you have noticed, I am basing the first letters of the names of Alpha Chosen depending on the first letter of their home planet.
Example-1: Atlanis (Akor, Aton, Ah'na...etc)
Example-2: Polyphaga (Pompa....etc)
Example-3: Ragath (Raul, Rex, Remus, Rodyn, Reinald, Roth....etc )
Of course, I didn't do the same for Earth's Alpha Chosen. There are a few exceptions like the character 'Seath' from the planet 'Owlite' and 'Halbor' from the planet 'Falud'.
I am thinking about changing the planet name of Rock Magmoids from 'Falud' to 'Halud' so that it would be easier to keep track of which Trial Zone Team they belong to.
What is your opinion on this? If you wish to let it be the same, type 'Falud' in the chapter comment section. If you want me to change the planet name of Rock Magmoids, then type 'Halud'. Based on which side most readers are inclined, I will make the final decision.
