Both competitions will start at four in the afternoon and end at seven in the evening.

Inside the left locker room at Function Hall 1, Owen, Hamish and Kyran sat in silence on the bench at the center of the room. This room was reserved for the Conclave, while the right locker room was reserved for the Courtenay Family.

Chairman Noir and Head Chief Vaness, overseeing them during the competition, were called by the Courtenay Family representative a few minutes ago for a short meeting.
