The participants who managed to pass the Selection Stage were waiting in the room designated for them only. It wasn't that different from the waiting room, however the size was noticeably smaller.
They could still see the vast Arena in front of them, however none of them could get out of the room. They were stuck yet again. They couldn't even hear the sound of the crowd due to how good of a Sealing Rune that had been put on the room.
[Ding-dong!]
[The preparation is over! We hope that each participants have observed their potential opponents well.]
The wanted announcement was heard. However, not a little of them were bewildered by what was announced.
"So, the preparation is for us?!"
"What do you mean by 'observe'?!"
"This bloody committee is playing with us, huh?"
Still, the announcer couldn't hear that. Therefore, the announcement continued regardless what the people said.
