After enjoying the first day of staying at the Twisted Cats' Tails' Inn, it was now the day of the opening ceremony and first matches for the main tournament.
Now that the competitors had been whittled down from tens of thousands to just five hundred and twelve, it was finally time for the massive arena that resembled the Roman Coliseum to be put into use.
But before the matches began, the king himself was supposed to make an appearance and start things off with a rousing speech before the brackets for the tournament were revealed. Then after that it would be time for the fights to begin.
Of course, whether or not Marcus fought on the first day would depend on how the brackets went since even just the first round lasted four days for all of the matches.
There was a time limit of thirty minutes per match so some of them could wind up going quite long and if it came down to the time limit a panel of judges would decide the winner.
