"The preliminary competition, officially begins!"
All the competitors climbed onto the platform, and the announcer loudly declared the start of the competition, accompanied by a burst of cheers from the audience.
However, even after the cheers from the audience had died down, the ten competitors who had stepped onto the platform still hadn't moved. The ten competitors, each wearing Void Magic Armor, were evenly distributed across ten spots on the platform, but not a single one made a hasty move.
From a professional point of view, the ten competitors had made the right choice. This was a melee. Each person's opponents were the other nine people, and if someone had acted rashly, they would have easily been attacked by the others.
It seemed the announcer hadn't lied before. The competitors who could come to participate in the preliminary rounds, even if they weren't Void Magic Warriors, were all experienced soldiers with quite high personal quality.
