Preliminary Rounds III

Lily was not in the waiting for a booth when I have returned, she had left for the second round ten minutes ago.

She had messaged me that, she will meet me at the mess at evening and sends her good luck for the second round.

I have to wait for another forty minutes for that.

I passed my time reading feed and messages before the time of my second round come and walk toward it.

A few minutes later, I stood in front of a large hall, there are hundreds of such halls around me.

People could be seen coming and going inside them.

When they go inside they looked normal but when they come out, they looked really wretched.

One couldn't help but imagine, how hard the beating they must have got inside it.

I scanned my competition I.D. to the door and the door opened.

"Welcome Participant #739GSJDV." A voice rang out in the hall.

The hall is stark grey, there is nothing in the except for five fighting Androids and a small table on which the artifact is placed.
