According to the rules of the Martial Arts Tournament, all participants must abide by them, regardless of their status or identity in the outside world. Once here, all external laws become irrelevant. The tournament is a contest of pure ability. Life and death on the stage are determined by one's own skills and fate.
Furthermore, anyone not directly involved, including members of the major families, must sign a non-disclosure agreement to enter. This means any incidents that occur here today must not be revealed. To do so would be to break the rules and offend the entire martial arts world. Knowing this, all the scions from prominent families immediately turned off their communication devices. No one would even think of recording the proceedings; everyone sat obediently in their seats. Many of the wealthy scions who were on good terms gathered together, chatting amongst themselves.
