บท 581: GUARDIAN TAIKI

In the Arena, the groups of fighters from the various clans were gathered, each in their assigned spot. Of course, the competitors included the people from the outside world who had trained for almost a year in the Training Centre. 

Kaito was standing alongside the Iekami clan members without an expression. He was calm and collected. Even though he was part of the group, he looked removed from the situation. He did not look like he belonged. 

The opening ceremony began with the performance of the Martial Island national anthem. The orchestra in charge of performing was dressed in long robes, giving the entire scene a more mysterious and solemn air. 

Then, the representative clan leader from the Noor family stepped forward. His speech was touching and inspiring. It encouraged the fighters to discover their physical boundaries and find joy at reaching the summit of martial power.
