Chapter 306: Tournament Time

The arena for the main tournament was like a huge stadium. Thousands of people sat in the audience, lined up row on row.

When the girls and I entered, we showed the token we got from the preliminaries to the guards, who then led us through a hallway beneath the audience seats, eventually into a large room. Inside sat a man - the same one who had been responsible for District A's preliminaries.

"Good to see you all again," he said as the guards left us, gently shutting the door to the chamber.

"Likewise," I replied. "I'm assuming you'll be explaining to us the rules of this tournament?"

The man nodded. "Naturally. The three other groups, one from each district, are also receiving the same explanation right about now."

Saying this, he motioned to the chairs placed in an arc around him. "Please, take a seat. It is uncomfortable for me to talk while being the only one sitting down."
