The announcer EU climbed onstage, there wasn't actually a stage but rather the middle of the stadium where everyone could see him.

The stadium was in an oval shape, similar to a gladiator's stadium with people sitting along the oval. The crowd cheered when they saw the announcer come out, it meant that they were about to start soon.

"Good morning dearest audience, today we have a special occasion planned, a school tournament! Now I know you're excited but let's go over the rundown-" EU's voice was heard by the whole stadium, around the stadium was also holographic screens that allowed the audience to view the event in more detail.

The wings on both sides of EU's head fluttered as he flipped over the paper in his hands. "For the first round we're going to have a one on one match, every 5 team members will go one on one with team members from other teams. The handful of teams with the highest accumulated points will move on to the next round."

He paused for a moment to gather his words, "The second round is called Hunter and Prey, and the final third round will be Capture the flag. We won't go too much in detail for now, in any case, headmaster UN will be up there in the VIP section of the stadium watching over the match meanwhile ASEAN will be down here, prepared to adjust the terrain and maybe step in."

EU pointed at a section of the stadium while he spoke where a singular man watched over from above. UN smiled and waved because he knew the screen had cut to him. There were numerous stitches around his body as well as scars, he wore a suit, well all three of them wore suits.

UN also had something about him, everyone got a vibe from him, don't pick a fight with him unless you have a death wish. At the same time he seemed quite composed and reliable which was a relief.

Then the screen cut to ASEAN, she stood there and snapped her fingers, the terrain of the main stage immediately changed into a large battle arena.

The crowd gasped in awe, the process of ASEAN's ability was indeed fascinating to watch. ASEAN noticed the screen had cut to her so she lifted a hand to hover near her forehead, an attempt to cover her face from being seen.

Inside the waiting room, there was also an enormous holographic screen. The group stared at the screen, awaiting for EU to call them onstage.

"Our first round will be between group 1 and group 9, please choose a member, and one important rule is, no killing." EU stared right into the screen with his intimidating gaze.

Group 9 was their group.

"Starting off with us huh, I volunteer Japan for this round!" America chimed in with a bright smile. Japan rolled his eyes, "yeah sure I'll do it," he stood up and walked towards the door to the main stadium. The Japanese man felt something being thrown at him from behind, he swiftly and gracefully caught it with ease.

It was a sword. When Japan whipped his head around he saw it was America who had thrown it at him with a thumbs up as a good luck sign.

He accepted the sword and left, his wooden sandals clicked as he walked, casting a hint of intimidation in the opponent's heart.

Japan pulled the sword out of its sheathe and discarded it by throwing the sheathe off stage. ASEAN sighed in frustration because it was her who would have to take care of these things.

She snapped her fingers, the ground underneath the discarded sword sheathe jerked up causing the item to flip in the air, it landed in ASEAN's hands with great precision.

Japan bowed in respect towards the opponent as he took his stance. EU rang the starting bell, the second he did, the Japanese samurai leaped forward with glowing eyes.
