Waiting for the start.

— It's a good idea.Chris said.— But only we have to choose the most authoritative people as leaders.

— I agree. Doom nodded."The others?"If we have disagreements, then we can all fail together.

Everyone present agreed with the idea of the Duma.

Divided into two teams, the leaders of which were Doom and Chris, the students began to share roles.

— Blink, you're going to investigate.

The guy nodded confirming his role.

— Van, you're covering his back.

— Easy.

Doom correctly distributed the roles in his group.

Chris, meanwhile, was doing the same thing.

— Snake, you will inspect the area for the heroes.

— What do you think I have nothing to do?

— If you run away.

— Can't you give me something easier?

—...— Chris can't find the words.— What could be even easier?

— Erm... — the Snake hesitated.

— Don't talk too much and do what I say.

— Pff.

— Orion, will you perform in the vanguard?Well, that is, cover us if anything.

Chris didn't know what an avant-garde was.

— Oke.-Orion nodded calmly.

While the guys were discussing the roles, a man in a white coat arrived in the waiting room.

— Hey, Doom. —a man who looks like a scientist calls out.— Your suit is calibrated, you can put it on.

— Great.-A grin appeared on Doom's face.

— A suit?-Orion asked.

— Yeah.Guys tell him, and I'll put everything on for now.

Doom comes out of the waiting room cracking his knuckles.

— Well, how should I say…Doom's strength does not strengthen the body, his strength rather intimidates the opponent.To compensate for the lack of strength, he puts on a suit.Blink began to speak.

— His power is intimidation?

— Yes, it can be described as:

They will only be afraid of you alone.

— Is the pressure that strong?

— Haha man, you should see for yourself, or rather feel.— One of the guys of the heroes course broke into a smile.

A few minutes later, Doom comes in wearing a green exoskeleton.

Every part of his body was covered.

And so the already tall guy became even taller.

His helmet was tactical.

Through the blue material of the helmet, only the indistinct outlines of Doom's face were visible.

The suit itself was similar to the military equipment of the future.

-You don't need a gun?-One of Orion's classmates asked.

— No, it's useless to me.

There are only a few minutes left before the start of the competition.

[Starting the creation of the battlefield.]

Through the monitors in the room, you could see a completely white space.

The white space itself began to change.

At first, purple ripples passed, as if animating the entire structure.

Then white square pillars of different heights began to rise.

The white pillars took the form of destroyed buildings.

Debris began to appear everywhere blocking the way.

The white world began to take on colors.

[Battlefield:A ruined City.]

[Warning!All participants prepare.]

— Fascinating…

— Yes, usually we were shown only a ready-made simulation.But this time we saw her creation for ourselves…

— Okay guys, let's not waste time and check again if we have everything.Doom said.

***

People began to gather near the domed building, but the guards did not let them in.

— Why can't we get through?— The tourists asked.

— Just wait.One of the guards said with a smile.

[Attention!Please do not panic!]

A sound came from the speakers.

*Rumble!*

People began to look around for the source of the sound.

There were white platforms around the building.

They began to rise from the ground from all sides.

Soon something like a colosseum was formed.

[The Colosseum has been created.]

[I begin to "open" the dome.]

A blue ripple passed through the building.

The monitors that were running ads turned off.

Then they disappeared into the dome.

The dome became completely glass.

The second ripple passed.

The ruined city became visible through the dome.

[Announcement!The contest of Heroes and Rescuers will begin in five minutes!Please take pre-purchased seats.]

A cold female voice sounded the announcement informing everyone present.

Kyle Barrow was standing not far from the Coliseum.

-Kyle, we've secured the perimeter.If something happens, we will immediately know where and who.

- Ok.

Looking in the direction of the event, Kyle scratched his left hand.

"Tear them all to shreds, Hadzis."

The corners of his lips turned up with anticipation alone.
