Everything that needed to be said has already been said; everyone returned to their place. There were safe places to sit on the sides of the arena.
In the clouds above the arena sat the System and Igor side by side. The System showed nothing, but Igor was waiting for everyone to take their places before three screens appeared in front of me. One of these screens showed the center of the arena, the second showed two empty boxes with an X in the middle, and the third showed the System and Igor above the clouds, with him immediately beginning to speak.
"[I believe everyone already understands, but I'll say it anyway.]" (Igor)
"[These three screens are for viewing the presenter, in this case, me.]" (Igor)
"[They also serve to see the battle when it starts, and the last one is a random draw of the participants who were already registered by the System when you arrived here.]" (Igor)
