Cap 1279: Foreplay part 2

Pov Xagar: 

To summarize, the last part of the preliminaries would be a 1-on-1 fight where participants are chosen at random and transported by the tokens they carry. 

I look at the sheet in my hands and continue listening to the rules, but once they ask to reduce the number of deaths while in the rules themselves it still allows killing, other than that there aren't many rules. 

To win you must throw the opponent out of the arena, kill the opponent, leave the opponent unconscious, or make the opponent admit defeat. 

As soon as the judge finished explaining all the arenas were enveloped in columns of light, I didn't understand the reason for that but I kept quiet while worrying about my next opponent since I don't want to fight Fiona. 

She who was next to me puts her hand on my shoulder without saying anything, but I understand, she is not comforting me, by the strength of her grip on my shoulder it means not to take it easy if we are opponents.
