After King Landhar III's voice was heard, everyone on stage came to a halt. Non-stage participants appeared agitated, while stage participants like Watson and the others appeared composed. Some people collapsed on the main stage from exhaustion and dehydration, as well. Even if there was another battle, it appeared as if they would be unable to continue fighting.
As the scene unfolded, King Landhar III remained standing to take it all in. He said, "It appears that everyone is exhausted. Let's take a half-hour break. The second round will begin very soon! It's a round of elimination. After that, the remaining participants will draw lots. The one who draws the first lot will fight the one who draws the second lot. The one who draws the third lot will fight the one who draws the fourth lot, and so on until the sixteen winners are decided..."
King Landhar III explained the rules above while the contestants below complained.
