Two sets of golden numbers hovered above the hall. One set was timed for three hours and hovered on the left side. While the other still had three zeroes, hovered on the right.
These were the timers for the upcoming Alchemy and Solo Competitions.
At ten minutes before nine in the morning, all participants finally appeared at the hall's center.
Six participants in total for the Alchemy Competition, three on each team, and ten for the Solo Competition, five on each.
As all participants arrived, a female Courtenay member walked to the hall's center. She flew midair and faced the booth where Euan, Iulia, and Haylee were. She bowed in respect and said, "Greetings to His Majesty, Emperor Euan, Her Majesty, Empress Iulia, and Her Highness, Crown Princess Haylee."
Sitting on a gold high chair with red accents, Euan nodded in acknowledgment.
