"Due to an emergency, the tournament has been moved up this time. However, that will be explained to anyone who is able to make their way up to the Court. As for me, I've already finished the presentation. Now I'll proceed to explain the rules… Well, to remind you, since you all already know them."
He called on several referees to join him at this point.
"The tournament is just like any other alchemy tournament. You'll be given some recipes. You'll create the potions or pills. If you succeed, you'll move on to the next round. If you fail, unfortunately, there's no next round for you."
"It goes on like this until the end. However, each round will feature more difficult and numerous recipes. In the final rounds, you won't be given a recipe and will have to create something of your own choosing. So I hope you're prepared. With that, I'll take my leave. I look forward to seeing you shine."
The man came down just as he had gone up. He didn't say a word more or a word less.
