First Game Part II

It didn’t take long for White Wolf to reach the center of the stage where a tall man was standing. He had tanned skin, a buzz cut, and a completely unfriendly face.

“In the black corner, we have Gallager as Australia’s first baton. With his long years of experience, we are guaranteed a tough opponent from him. This is expected from Australia, which specializes in playing long games. They sent out a control-type player as their first baton, perhaps to play mind games with Thailand who has much less experience in playing a big tournament like this one.”

Both athletes shook hands upon being motioned by the Judge before heading to their corners.

At the same time, the cheers slowly died down as the spotlight dimmed in preparation for Thailand’s first game in the Olympics.

The Judge signaled to the summoners, telling them to get ready. White Wolf assumed his ready stance with his left hand extended forward and his right hand raised at face level.
