"We held this event, to help the next generation prepare themselves for what they are going to face in the world of Solterra," Theodore said. "I'm sure that your families have already prepared you to the best of their abilities. So, we will put those preparations to the test."
With a single clap of Theodore's hand the floor of the dancing area of the Event Hall parted to the sides, revealing an underground arena.
There were ten arenas in total, which meant that ten matches could be held at the same time.
The children of the different families had various reactions to this sudden change of events.
Some of them smiled with confidence, others felt bored, while some were very eager to show their might to their peers, hoping that it would impress them.
Others felt fear, anxiety, and doubt about what was going to happen next.
