[the announcement rings through the campus all morning, on the half-hour: Can all participating Players report to the Tournament Stadium for midday with their chosen Weapons. The event will begin at twelve twenty-five for all other students.

Yes, that's right, the Tournament Stadium. During the early morning of Day 1, the staff were hard at work constructing a stadium in the main courtyard. There's raised seating for all students, and a large open-air ring for the participants. There's more than enough space even for fliers, and a number of raised areas, stairs and chest-high walls to make battles more interesting. At the end of the stadium is a large screen showing the ring from above.]

Second Battle: Road Kamelot vs Grenn Atair

Almost immediately after Road climbs into the stadium, however, she vanishes into thin air. A popup box briefly appears in her place, the text likely unreadable to anyone but her opponent.

"Er--" The announcer on the loudspeaker stumbles verbally, before catching himself and calling out, "That's a win for Grenn Atair! Let's hear it for her, everyone!"

Well. Grenn scratched her head and stared a bit, from her end of the stadium. That was unexpected. And kinda felt like cheating, even if she hadn't done anything wrong. It wasn't as if she'd attemped another hacking this time.
