First Encounter

"Each participant has taken their position. The preliminary match is about to start. Let's count together, everyone!" Shion raised three fingers. "3!"

The audience also participated in the countdown as they looked at the numerous live videos coming from the drones. 

"2!"

"1!"

"Start!"

…

In the forest, Clovis looked up, finding countless drones that were hovering in the air. Once the countdown was over, they shot a firework into the sky.

The loud bang symbolized the start of the competition. 

"Let's go! This is the only competition for today, so it's fine to overwork a little." Clovis waved his hand.

Clovis's group headed north according to Melody's instructions. The area itself was quite spacious. Tier 2 and Tier 3 humans could easily cover the distance from one corner to another, so it didn't really matter for them.

The beasts were still roaming around.
