The third round of the tournament was about to begin. The air was charged with excitement as spectators rushed back into the Colosseum, eager to get to their seats before the battles commenced. The commentator's voice boomed across the arena, drawing everyone's attention.
"Welcome back, one and all, to the third round of the Tournament of Chosens!" he declared. "This is where we separate the truly exceptional from the rest. From now until the finals, the battles will be one-on-one duels!"
As the commentator spoke, a large holographic screen made of illusion magic materialized above the arena, displaying the matchups for the round of sixteen. The four teams stood on the stage in a square pattern, facing each other as the names of the fighters appeared on the screen.
