Clint left the arena after saying those words, and two other people in Union uniforms walked up to the arena. They were both Core mages and would act as the referees during the tournament.
After the two mages got into position, two groups of students walked into the arena. Each group had four students, and all of them ranged between the ages of 17 and 19, both boys and girls alike.
The two teams stood on different sides after entering the arena and faced each other. On one side were the students of the Fierce Storm Magic Academy, their uniform was a beautiful design of green long-sleeved tunics with high collars, with emblems that signified their elements attached to their left breast pockets and single numbers printed at the top of the emblems.
Those numbers probably represented their classes or what year they were in. The boys had trousers and brown shoes while the girls had knee-length skirts and mid-calf boots.
