One minute before the battle started, the three were assisted to different locations. When they reached their starting point, they were given earpieces so they could hear Paul's voice. After settling the earpiece in their ears, they placed their tinted visors that shut their vision.
"The game starts in 10 seconds…" As soon as they placed their visors, they all heard Paul's voice through the earpiece.
"Man… I feel like I have my eyes closed." Owen muttered under his breath. His heart suddenly thumped loudly as seeing nothing gave a different vibe to him. It was as if it induced his non-existent anxiety to envelop his heart.
"Uh, it feels different in actuality." From another part of the first floor, Ryan commented, sharing the same feelings as Owen unknowingly.
Meanwhile, Carter's Adam's apple moved as he gulped down a mouthful of saliva. Yet, he didn't say anything and remained standing in his spot.
