With the ring of a bell, the quarterfinals of the first block began, and everyone took their places at their platforms.
The crowd watched from up above. The spectator stands were raised high above the venue, giving them a perfect view of the action below.
"Ok Family Dojo is doing as good as expected…"
"Yeah, and there are still many strong dojos left, but there are surprisingly two students from the Zero Star dojo still in the tournament…"
"Martial Redemption Dojo… I don't think they will get any further than quarterfinals. The level of fighters is now much higher."

"At the blue corner, we have Kaia from the Ruthless Ravens Dojo. This is her third tournament appearance, and she is currently fifteen years old, and High Stage Martial Recruit!"
