Devin and the remaining participants of the tournament climbed to where Charles stood.
And after that...
"So, this is what's going to happen—"
Charles started explaining.
"There are ten of you left, and we'll be splitting you into two groups."
He said, his voice carrying across the platform.
Everyone in the audience could hear him too—he was enhancing his voice with mana, after all.
Then, after pausing for a moment...
"Each group will fight in a free-for-all."
Charles suddenly declared that!
"...?!"
"Huh??"
"What?!"
"..."
His words shocked everyone except Raye!
But ignoring their reactions...
"Two arenas, two battles happening at the same time. The last person standing in each group will move on to the final match."
"Which will happen today as well."
Charles just casually continued!
The participants listened intently, their eyes sharp as they processed the rules.
