Alex separated from his family and Alicia and went to the sitting area of his academy, his parents, sister, and Alicia went to sit somewhere else and waited for the tournament to begin.
Time slowly passed as more people arrived and occupied the spectators' stand. The stadium was filled with murmurings as the audience discussed in loud voices. Many of them were talking about the tournament while some were talking about the strange weather yesterday and the bird's cry.
A lot of people didn't know that Mr Chen had already taken care of the beast; only a few people were aware of this information, and they didn't disclose it to the public.
Some were saying that the beast might have moved away while others guessed that Mr Chen or the Union had taken action.
