The next fight

( Ben and Leo's POV )

Following their usual routine, after his round of 32 match, Leo and Ben shadowed the match official to discover the arena type for their upcoming match.

Just like always, the match official was moving in a haphazard way, making it difficult to tail him as per protocol, however, Ben and Leo still managed to stay on his tail regardless.

However, midway, Ben abruptly called off their pursuit when he noticed several strong yet unfamiliar figures also following the match official.

"Why have we stopped chasing him, master? We'll lose him soon if we don't keep up," Leo protested, but Ben stood firm in his decision.

"We can't continue the chase, boy. There are at least seven strong fighters nearby who are also tailing the official today. It's too risky," Ben explained as Leo scanned his surroundings, trying to spot the fighters that Ben mentioned, but he could not find anyone suspicious.
