Tessa and Lina locked eyes as the tension between them increased.
"Students! Watch carefully, because trust me, an epic battle is about to go down!"
The students cheered loudly in response to the announcer's words.
Tessa and Lina continued staring at each other intensely. It was clear that both of them had understood what was going on.
There were traps in the battlefield, and a sound could be heard before the trap would release, so they both had to depend on their ears.
Meanwhile, some of the other participants who were seated at the front row of the arena were already grumbling.
"Shit... I'm not the best in terms of speed among my teammates," a boy muttered to himself, realizing that he would have to fight while evading traps at the same time. "Ani would have been suitable for this stage."
Some of the others were also complaining to themselves about not being the ones among their teammates suitable for this stage.
