The opening ceremony only took half an hour.
From singing the Arcanum Imperium's anthem to the announcement of the rules and brutal single-elimination tournament format, then to the speech that ignited not only the participants' competitive spirits but also inspired the younger, aspiring wizards, despite not having awakened their mana yet, to reach greater heights.
Everyone was pumped, eager to know who would emerge as the top youngster of this batch.
Luckily, the organizers understood their hearts, shooting fireworks into the sky the next moment as a tall, bespectacled young woman in a long red dress with gold lining and a slit along the right leg, her fine curves evident, ascended the stage, smiling as she waved to the roaring crowd.
The Arcana Primis Cup really surprised them this time, hiring an expensive pop star as the event's host.
