"The dimensional portal showed chaotic fluctuations, stability below the expected value?"
Even though it was clearly written in black and white, he still needed to repeat it.

"Shortened by a day, meaning there's less than half a day left now."
The chief referee's index finger lightly tapped the tabletop.
"Shall we just announce the end of the second round now?"
The deputy chief referee, standing on the other side, suggested.

"The safety of the contestants is the most crucial. If they get trapped inside the instance, it would be troublesome."
