(Sky-God Arena – Opening Ceremony)
The stadium buzzed with anticipation as over a thousand banners from across the Righteous Alliance fluttered above the colossal Sky-God Arena.
The stands, though not yet at full capacity, still swelled with tens of thousands of spectators, their cheers echoing faintly under the domed structure.
At the heart of the Sky-God Arena, the grand opening ceremony of the Interstellar Circuits was about to commence.
Over 1,200 academies stood assembled, lined up with rigid discipline along the arena's outer perimeter, each dressed in their distinct team uniforms and with their captains carrying their academy banners high.
The order of appearance followed strict alphabetical protocol, with teams entering and forming ranks in order, starting from Aaviron Academy, 01 at the front to Zinjang, the 1201st, stationed deep at the back.
