To say it was a weird sensation to have your mind inserted back into your body after what felt like such a realistic and strenuous couple of days would be the understatement of the century. At least that is what Noxtis felt like when the beam of light hit his body at the end of the stage and almost instantly he was back in his 'real' body which had been seated inside the formation the exact same way when he first entered.
Before Noxtis could do much of anything, a voice called out within the large room.
"Hello everyone, and congratulations on passing the first stage of the Unyielding Beastking Tourney. Those that were not able to pass have already been escorted outside the arena. Make sure to let your bodies adjust for a few moments to recover from any fatigue you may have accumulated in the first stage. Should you believe that you required medical attention, please talk to our wonderful medical team on my right when before you leave.
