Jax answered Roxana's question with a dismissive wave.
"Harsh? You know nothing about it, Roxana. Just watch and you'll understand eventually." He paused, a knowing smile crossing his face. "You're in the same shoes, just like Nerith."
Roxana made a confused face at the unfamiliar name. Before she could ask, Jax sighed and changed the subject entirely.
"By the way, perfect timing. Can you repeat the format for the tournament matchups? I need my students to hear it properly."
She gazed at him for several seconds, then realized exactly what kind of person she was dealing with. With a heavy sigh of resignation, she said, "Fine."
Roxana stepped into the uneven circle formed by the students and began her explanation with practiced professionalism.
"The tournament will be one week long, covering every match and event within the academy grounds. Every day will either be a knockout round or a match that declares the winner on that very same day."
