The bright lights cascaded down at the big platform in the middle of the venue. It was time for the finals of each block.
The music played from the speakers, and amidst lights, Khan and Axe walked up to the platform, dressed in their loose uniforms.
Khan looked loose and relaxed. He was hopping in one spot, his arms loosely swinging in front of him.
Axe pushed his right fist against his left hand. He then bowed respectfully. After that, he straightened his back and took his stance.
With microphone in hand, the referee walked up the steps to the platform and inhaled deeply before starting the introductions.
"It's time!
"We have two powerful fighters left in the first block, who fought their way to the finals, and the one advancing through this round will meet the champion of the second block!
"We have Khan from the Ok Family Dojo, who easily made it through all his opponents, and it is clear that he still has plenty left to show!
