The arena roared with restless noise.
Rows upon rows of spectators filled the towering stone stands, their voices clashing together like waves striking a cliff.
At the center of it all stood the remaining contestants.
Linda, known here as Ruellda of the Scales Tribe, stood quietly among them.
Her so small white rabbit figure seemed almost insignificant compared to the others.
All contestants towered over her in height and presence, their elegant clothing and proud postures drawing far more attention than the tiny rabbit girl.
Yet strangely, many eyes were now watching her.
Above the contest floor, even the Council of Elders were watching quietly.
The heavy bronze bell rang. CLANG!
The sound echoed across the arena, silencing the chaotic crowd almost instantly.
Elder Franco came forward. "The second round of the Beastladylord Selection has now concluded."
