Leon stepped onto the stage, greeted by the roaring cheers of the audience. It was clear—today's crowd was even larger than the day before.
And yet, they all knew the match would likely end in seconds.

Each batch of matches featured multiple fights in rotation, and as the tournament progressed, more top-tier players were stepping into the arena. Naturally, that drew in even more fans eager to watch their favorites compete.
At the opposite end of the stage, his opponent ascended as well.
The host, as energetic as ever, took center stage and immediately hyped up the moment, his voice booming across the arena.

Was there really no other way to respond?
