Just then, my console lit up, and I received a new message about the bracket for tomorrow's matches.
---
[Round 1: Ohma vs. Blemish]
[Round 2: Aisling vs. Scaum]
[Round 3: Marigold vs. Romero]
[Round 4: Rishott vs. Belial]

Since there were four preliminary matches, and two people won from each section, the bracket started directly at the quarter-finals.
"It looks like your fighting that guy from the train!" Ohma remarked.
"Yeah. Blemish."
"You better not disappoint me and lose right off the bat!"
"Don't say that."
"Why?"
"I'm gonna get jinxed," I said.
"What is a...jinx?"
"Nevermind. Just don't say anything about me winning or losing the tournament, alright?"
"Got it!"
