Tenmaru stepped on the arena. He had the first match.
His opponent was a muscular man wearing sleeveless shirt. His biceps bulged like living mice running on his arms.
The muscular man had a curved blade as his weapon and a giant scar on his neck.
Compared to him, Tenmaru looked like a weak noble kid with no experience in the battlefield.
"Shinka Tenmaru versus Sawada Kouta." The referee shouted. "Here's the code of conduct.
The match stops when either side surrenders, loses consciousness, or fall outside of the arena.
This tournament does not guarantee your survival and if you die, you lose.
Have both of you sign the death and injury waiver?"
Tenmaru and Kouta nodded.
"Good. The match begins!" The referee jumped out of the platform, giving room back to the two fighters.
Carter stood at the side of the arena with his arms crossed. His eyes stayed fixed on the platform.
Another Fighter stood beside him and asked, "Is that your student?"
Carter nodded.
