In the first round, unsurprisingly, both of them went ahead with the fight without bringing out their weapons. Their fighting abilities didn't let them.
The Round Of Rings was the deadly round, it had witnessed several participants dying in the field of this outdoor stadium. Unlike other series of rounds, where the basic and the most vital rule used to be to leave the opponent alive...was removed in this one.
There were three rounds in the Rounds Of Rings, according to the rules, the use of weapons was not allowed in the first round but that rule had been broken long way back.
Most of the participants would be forced to bring out their weapons within a few minutes of clashing and exchanging blows due to the strenuous skills of the opponent. However, this time, the spectators had guessed long back that their would be no clashing of weapons in the first round, at least!
