"Huh? Of course. Did you forget? Your match will be starting very soon," (Auretta)
"I see, the very first match then, huh... Huh? Wait, so soon?" (Lyan)
"Of course. Such tournament takes a great cost to maintain, so we need to be as efficient and on schedule as we could. Now come on, there's no time to spare," (Auretta)

"I see... So that's why the match started right at the beginning, huh..." Lyan uttered as he stared at the scene before him.
After going downstairs with Auretta, they went to the participant waiting room at the underground, but not long after, Lyan is immediately told to take a weapon and follow a staff from the tournament to get ready at the arena's gate.
"So it's a battle royale... I guess it's fortunate to know that I didn't get the very first match because of my very bad luck," (Lyan)
Yes, the first round is not a one vs one battle, but it's a battle royale that acts as an elimination round.
