Sam finally opened his eyes after another twenty minutes.
He ignored everyone's attention on him. The blood is still enveloping the weapons and the armor. He Just reduced the heat. He moved his hands assembling the armor pieces. The halberd's head is being attached to the shaft, the blade is being installed into the handle of the long sword. The cross bow is being assembled, then the armor.
While these things are assembled individually, the attendants brough the wooden puppets to the contestants.
The participants can adorn the armor on the puppets themselves. Just to make sure that there is no human error involved in this process.
Of course, they also have another privilege. The competitors can program a few moves into the puppet. However, they cannot be some elaborate moves, and they also cannot program adjustments to the existing moves.
They can only program something that is related to the usage of their weapons.
