"Welcome young mages and wizards!"
The announcer started speaking in the mana stone sound amplifier, standing at the center of the huge stage arranged in the central plaza.
Below the stage some space was left and rows of soldiers stood on guard in a horizontal line, creating a distance between the stage and the hundreds of participants that stood, filling the entire plaza.
On the stage, at the back were placed many cushioned sofas in a row, where many nobles sat, along with prime minister Vorthane, and in the middle of the row, was the biggest sofa with an arched backrest, which was left empty for the king.
"Congratulations on being selected from your regions to participate in this grand tournament arranged with the grace of our great king, his highness Edgar Regelak!"
"One of you among these hundred teams will be the fortunate one to receive the grand reward of fifty thousand gold coins, a disaster class beast mana stone, and a drop of 'Life boon'."
