The audience held their breaths as lights descended from the ceiling and illuminated the two entrances.
"And now… the moment you've all been waiting for! It is time for the quarterfinals to start with match one, Karuza High versus Kanyon High!"
The two entrances opened up, and jersey-wearing martial artist stepped out, light guiding their path all the way to the big stage.
Music played, and the lights were blinding as the crowd erupted in cheers.
The two teams arrived in their bench and saw the referee take his spot at the middle of the big ring, a microphone in hand.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the first match of the quarterfinals is upon us! I will be the witness and overseer of the match! Let's have a fair match!"
His voice entered the microphone and blasted throughout the arena.
The sky had already turned dark as the nighttime was approaching, setting the perfect stage for an intense battle.
"First fighters, take the stage!"
The referee shouted.
