"Next."
Reagan stepped forward, humbly taking the random number tag assigned to him.
Number 202, Arena 11.
The small carved plaque showed his battle order for the day.
He knew he would be fighting after the first 7 matches, so he had to stay close by.
Around Arena 11 over 80 people gathered.
When watching, he wasn't so nervous any longer, as he focused on observing their techniques and listening to the comments from many others.
After all, everyone will still get to fight each other sometime later on.
The method of assessing victories was simple.
Today, everyone had to have entered at least 15 fights.
If you win a fight, you get points.
The fights are with random opponents, so even those who lose their first match but still end up with higher points if they did well in their other 14 matches.
This system will carry on for the next 4 days until everyone has fought 45 matches.
