PS: The first part of the chapter will be from Vlad's POV and inner monologue.
.
The White Flag in the center of the arena burned into ashes as it disintegrated. A loud honking sound was heard by the fighters. It signaled the start of the fight.
Vlad looked at his surroundings and mapped out the area. The arena became almost ten times larger in size with multiple zones for combat. Some may be more favorable than others.
He knows from their briefing that their main objective is to wipe out as many of the other teams and only 16 contestants can register for the second round.
Vlad knew that the best way to survive was to form small groups of the same team members and crush the opponents individually.
"Guys, does anyone want to form a group with me? We need to separate our team into small groups. That gives us more firepower and agility in evading attacks."
