After the six holographic screens had completely materialized above the fight platform, the noise of the Arena slowly settled.
It didn't become completely silent, though.
With six Young Alchemists remaining in the Combat Festival, everyone in the Arena was waiting for one thing.
The matchups.

Some spectators had already begun guessing which names would appear together, while others were simply hoping that their favorite Young Alchemist would receive an opponent they believed could be defeated.
The six holographic screens suddenly began rotating together.
Their movement was fast enough that the names and images displayed on them became difficult to follow, turning into streaks of light as the screens spun around one another.
Patrick and Kent both looked toward the moving displays.
