"The final matches are ready!" Moderator Vance's magically boosted voice echoed everywhere across the stadium. "Match One will start right now! We have Zara Nightingale versus our crown prince, Prince Malachi Della! Match Two will be Kiela Cobt versus Kai Arden!"
"Before we start," Vance said, his loud voice reaching every corner of the stadium as he pointed to the side of the stage where workers were rolling out large weapon racks, "each fighter can choose one weapon from the university storage. Pick your weapons now!"
I walked over to the rack immediately. I did not pick the flashy, fancy swords because I wanted something reliable. I chose a beautifully weighted broadsword with a silver rim. It felt perfect in my hand and worked well with my holy magic. Across from me, Zara walked to her rack and picked up two lightweight silver daggers. They were perfect for her fast style and her pressure magic.
