The crowd was hyped by Lysandra's words, cheering openly as she continued to perform the role of a tournament announcer.
"Tonight, you will witness excellence, rivalry, heartbreak, triumph, and yes… a few bruises along the way." Lysandra joked with a coy smile, making the crowd laugh as well.
The projection screen behind her flickered to life, displaying glowing emblems of each academy Echelon, from the lowest F-rank to the shining gold sigil of the Special Echelon.
"Our tournament this year features over a thousand participants, from every echelon, every ranking, every region. Whether it's your first match or your final year, today… you earn your name in history." Lysandra said as she gestured to the display.
She allowed a moment to pass as cheers rang out once more at her words.
Taking back initiative, she clapped her hands to control the crowd. "And now, let us welcome each Division, one by one!"
