"Listen up, Freshers!" he called out, his voice sharp and commanding. "After long internal discussions, debates, and thorough assessments by the Student Board Ranking Committee and our teachers, we've come to a conclusion. This year, there will be certain changes to the tournament."
A wave of displeasure spread through the crowd—grumbles and murmurs broke out among students, even among some seniors and a few teachers. Clearly, not everyone welcomed change.
"Whether you like it or not, we don't care," Frankie said bluntly. "The decision has already been made."
