Stepping out of the light, the first thing that came to Arran's senses was the loud sounds of cheers and applause.The cacophony of various sounds that assaulted Arran's senses was like a mishmash of different dials on the tv turning on and off and switching from one channel to another in his head. For a moment there, Arran could not adjust to the sudden stimulation to his senses and he felt himself feeling dizzy.It was only after a few seconds of taking deep breaths that Arran was finally able to adjust. That was when he noticed that Brianna had been shaking his hands gently and was looking at him with concern.Not only her, Renee, and Daphne were also looking at him weirdly and they seemed to be asking if he was okay with their eyes.Knowing that he had made them worry about him, Arran quickly said to them, "It's okay girls, I'm fine. Just felt a little dizzy.""Are you sure you're fine?" Brianna asked."Yes, I'm really fine..." Arran rea

One by one, the rest of the participants went up to the crystalline box. Putting their hands inside it, they each drew their own lots and came out with a number before going back to stand at their original location.Arran also followed suit.Putting his hand inside the box, Arran felt something with his hand that felt like a tile that was used to play scrabble. Knowing that there was no point trying to select a specific number, Arran just picked one of the tiles randomly.Bringing his hand out of the box, Arran then felt that tile melt in his hand before a number was imprinted on his plan with black ink.Arran took a look at the number he had gotten and he found out that he had gotten the number seven."Hmm... not bad," Arran commented.Seven was a lucky number, at least it was to Arran, so he felt that he had drawn a good number.Walking back to his original position, Arran waited until the girls were done before coming back. At the

Everybody was done drawing their lot and each person already had a number tattooed on their palm. It was with this number that the participants would know the order in which they would fight.After everything was done, the image of Councilman Homer once again showed up above the stage and he quickly addressed everybody."Now, all of you have already picked a number. It is now time for you all to know who you will be fighting.""If you look at the screen, the numbers representing you will be shuffled together and according to what you see, that will e who you will be fighting. The order of the fight will also be determined randomly, so good luck everybody. As soon as this is done, we will immediately begin. Those whose turn it is not yet to fight, you should move to the resting stage behind you to await your turn."Once Councilman Homer finished speaking, his image once again vanished and another image showing a board appeared.On this image, the bo

There was a slight uproar among those that knew about Renee.In limited circles, Renee was known as The One-Inch Killer Queen. This name came about due to her rasp of the popular space divine skill, Inch traversal.Of all the people that had ever studied this skill, Renee was one of the few that had grasped it to a limited degree. Using her limited achievement in practicing this skill, Renee had integrated it fully into her fighting style to the point that it has become a signature move of hers.Anybody that knew Renee knew that when it comes to fighting her, the first thing you should do was to put as much distance as possible between yourself and her becomes when it came to Renee. The distance was irrelevant.She could cross distances to get to her opponent as if she were merely one inch away from them.This was a very terrifying ability, coupled with her excellent assassination abilities. Renee was a force to be reckoned with in battle.S

"So that's how it is, eh! This Chad guy has such an interesting ability. No wonder Renee was injured as soon as she flashed straight towards his side. Knowing that Renee was able to close a lot of distance in an instant, he must have set up a lot of those invisible blades around him in a tight net as a trap for her to walk into. It's surprising how Renee was only able to come out of that situation with only a small cut on her arm.""Still, there is a problem... something I don't understand. How is it that Chad is able to create such perfectly concealed hidden weapons in the air without any of us noticing at all?""I mean, if it's just creating invisible blades in the air, how is it that it doesn't create any fluctuations in the air as it moves. At the very least, something solid enough to cut should leave some traces as it moves and cuts through the air, right? The airflow from that alone, no matter how slight, should not be able to escape the senses of so many partici
