Tullio Rossi's Tournament

"Rivals". Tullio Rossi challenges the other first-year students to a dueling tournament, which will last through episode 11, to decide which of them is the strongest in their year. Each student who registers gets a selection of medallions: you lose all of yours, you're out, and those with the most at the end of the week advance to the playoff round. In the process we're properly introduced to Stacy Cornwallis and Fay Willock, who were apparently present for the garuda incident in "Colosseum" but weren't seen because they were hiding the whole time.
