When the announcer finished the introduction, the competition began!
Ober, clad in Berserker Armor, was the first to jump onto the platform, closely followed by Rocky who also leapt up to stand on it.
"Kid,"
"…you are pretty good."
Both of them had boarded the platform, officially starting the match, but Ober did not immediately make a move. Instead, he slowly stepped along the edge of the platform, strolling leisurely as he spoke, "I heard about your previous preliminary matches, they were beautiful so…"
Moving slowly along the edge, Ober continued, "So I'm giving you an opportunity, surrender now, and I might spare your life."
Like Ober, at this moment, Rocky was also not rushing into action. As Ober slowly approached him along the edge, he also paced along the platform's edge, keeping the same direction and almost the same stepping frequency as Ober. Thus, although both were shifting their positions, the distance between them remained unchanged.
