(Semi-Finals – Sky-God Arena, Match 1)
"Good morning, ladies and gentlemen!" Derek's voice rang out across the Sky-God Dome, clear and energized.
"Welcome to Day Six of the Interstellar Circuits, and more importantly—welcome to the first Semi-Final match!"
"The air's different today, Derek," Lee added smoothly. "You can feel it. This is no longer just a tournament—it's a war between the four finest academies in the galaxy, all fighting for a spot in the grand finals."
"And what a way to kick things off!" Derek continued. "It's Rodova Military Academy versus Clarence Military Academy—two powerhouse teams that have proven themselves at every stage so far."
"This match might very well be more intense than the finals, Derek," Lee said with a grin. "Because we have inside information confirming that Rodova's star archer, Minerva, is not match-fit today. Despite being present on the Rodova bench, she is reportedly not expected to be rotated in."
