The week passed in the blink of an eye. Zaroth was preparing for bed when he received a message.
-----
[Attention]
To all participants in the tournament, congratulations for making it this far!
Tomorrow, you will all be expected to go to the Grand Arena, where your matches will take place.
You will also have the opportunity to watch the other fights for free.
May the best win!
All glory to Emperor Draconis VII, whose vision and authority have brought this Grand Tournament into existence!

With a sigh, Zaroth shifted his gaze to Luna.
She was cutely playing with Nightshade. It seemed that she really enjoyed cats.
"This past week I have tried to improve my harmony with my beasts as much as possible," he muttered as he clenched his palm into a fist.
He felt his heart rate increase.
