"Our turn." Ariel had a smile showing a row of pearly white teeth.
She jumped from the stands and appeared at the stadium.
Julia sighed as she walked to the stadium.
Coming to Ariel's side, she smiled at her.
Julia felt less nervous that Ariel was together with her.
Looking around, there were so many participants in the same venue, and it's a total mess when the fighting starts. If you're not careful enough, you can get caught in the crossfire and be eliminated. Many talented youngsters end up unlucky enough to leave the qualifiers. Julia didn't want to be one of them.
"Everybody is here." Then, finally, the referee shouted, "Let the fight begin!"
By the time he finished speaking, Julia had already entered battle mode. It would only last 30 minutes if she went at full strength, but she has managed to hold for almost 1 hour. Better safe than sorry, she couldn't fully trust Ariel.
