The Preliminary

"Welcome to the Preliminaries!"

A vigorous voice reverberated across the colosseum before the roar of the spectators followed. 

A man was standing right at the center of the colosseum. He had a slender figure and wore a mask that covered half of his face. 

"Hahaha! I can see that all of you all excited about the preliminaries alone! Don't forget the main attraction later on though."

Some of the audience chuckled at his sarcastic tone.

"It's because we can afford this one!"

"Right! Right!"

"The ticket for the main event is absurd!"

The man shrugged his shoulder, "Hey, don't blame it on me, I'm just here to hype up the situation."

"Though, I don't need to do much anyway," he muttered.

"I'm your host today and I'm going to explain how the preliminaries work!"

One of the audiences immediately replied, "Just get on with it!"

The rest of the audience laughed.
