The first round matches are about to start, so the waiting area becomes crowded with all the participants. However, there is a visible separation of two groups of people - a group where all the participants remain solemn and quiet while another group buzzes the waiting area with discussions about the tournament. Those in conversation would throw glances from time to time at other fighters, making their conversation topic obvious for an outsider.
"Hey… Those three participants are from the Phantom Guild."
"Those? What the… I can't feel a single bit of energy coming from their bodies! Maybe the phantom guild is just a bluff!"
"Are you stupid or what? Maybe they have hidden it! If not, then why are all those high ranks nobles making a fuss over them?"
"But have you ever encountered powerful contestants who hide their power?"
