Before the tournament started, James was sitting in his room, chatting with Nyx as usual, or rather, Nyx was nagging James as usual.
[Remember what I said. In one day alone, over 10,000 warriors fight inside the arena. Duels normally take so short because of the power distribution that I can't explain it. Since there are different areas of the arena, the screens can show 120 battles at the same time, and the audience can watch what they want].
James had heard these words at least ten times in just one day and was getting sick of it, he spoke after scratching his head in annoyance:
"Yes, my lady, I understand, I must put up a good fight for the audience so that attention is drawn to me so that I can exert my authority."
[Good for you. I hope you haven't forgotten the rest of what I said, do I need to go over it again?]
"No m'lady, I remember exactly what you said, please calm down," James replied, feeling as if he was talking to his mother.
