Calling Out The Teams.

After the crowd finally settled from the king’s appearance, it was now time for the third round to begin.

In the middle of the battle ring, a small circular hole opened up as the red-haired referee, who had provided insights at the start of the academy competition rose from this small opening.

The spectators, curious about the spectacle, finally saw an earthen pillar beneath his feet slowly rising him to the air, creating an ethereal entrance to the stage.

“Welcome, ladies and gentlemen to the Royal Arena! Are you ready for the first match of the third round?” the referee exclaimed, instantly igniting enthusiasm in the audience.

As a deafening roar of “Yes!” erupted, causing the Royal Arena to vibrate from the intensity of the cheering.

“It’s clear that you’re all quite excited, so I won’t waste any more of your precious time, the third round will begin in just a few minutes,” he added.
