The Fourth Round

"…People?" 

Unsurprisingly, a number of people on the field immediately paled the moment those words left Scho'doxa's mouth.

After all, with the rounds that they've gone through so far, they were led to believe that the two remaining rounds of the tournament would more or less have the same mechanics.

However, with Scho'doxa giving them a grim reminder that the tournament would proceed differently to how they thought, some of them began to shudder in fear, asking themselves if they had what it took to kill other people.

Fortunately, the majority of the people on the field were indifferent, perhaps even inclined towards the matter. 

With that, they used his words as a reminder of what was to come, preparing both their bodies and minds for the bloodshed that might greet them on the fourth round.
