258 The First Round (1/2)
”Further information on the following stages will be revealed after you have successfully passed the 'Qualifiers'...”
The matches explanation and schedule were simply explained by the organizers before they left…
Just like we saw from our ground view platform, there were exactly 5 wide rings in the colosseum, which would supposedly host a match each with 30 minutes as the time frame for each one…
The whole battle show would last 10 hours per day, meaning that about 100 matches would be held per day, that also meant that the 'Qualifiers' would take about 5 days to conclude.
The method for choosing competitors was totally random and up to fate, as we were supposed to be informed of numbers that got matched by pure chance, it was quite chaotic and it mostly seemed like it heavily depended on luck and fate as it was a one time knockout match, but it was going to be swift at the very least…
I just had to stay still in my seat and only fight 2 matches for the next five days so it wasn't that bad after all…
`~~`~~`~~`
50 minutes later...
”Alright, listen up, the matches will be starting in ten minutes, the blank tags that you received at the time of registering will soon show your participant number which will decide your matches, so check them out and be ready for the time you will be called up at, the match list will also appear soon so that those who have no matches for the day can leave if they want to…”
'Eh…?'
Taking out my tag to see the number 333 inscribed on it, I finally recognized that it was once again another enchanted item that was treated very commonly…
'Weren't enchanted items somewhat rare and hard to obtain…?'
Having such a huge number of enchanted tags that had a somewhat complex function didn't make sense to me for some reason, was it that the rareness part was only true at the Light Domain yet not here? or was my actual knowledge flawed, old and possibly not up to date?
Such questions filled my mind for a few seconds before I quickly dismissed them as they were of no importance at the moment, if the abundance of enchanted items and other rare stuff was different here, I just had to take note of that so that my knowledge wouldn't have that flaw anymore…
No one seemed to be surprised about it either, so it was just about right to understand that it wasn't hard for such stuff to appear, especially at 'Battle City' which was obviously special due its circumstances and uses, in my own opinion, it could be considered the most advanced city that might pass as a city back in reality if we take out the special powers aspect…
Now all that was left was to wait…
`~~`~~`~~`
The list that came out was also simple just like the process of the tournament's explanations so far, contestant no.1 was matched with contestant no.2, no.3 was matched with no.4 and so on…
That meant that I wouldn't get on any ring before the fourth day, which also meant that I could just leave for now, but I decided to stay for a bit to watch the matches of the other participants, only to get a bit…
'Disappointing, nothing really to be careful about…'
