Amid the cheers of the crowd, the Phoenix Star Martial Festival had finally begun.
Basically, the opening ceremony of the Star Martial Festival was no different from a sports meet. The teams circled the arena, then the higher-ups gave speeches, and the matches began. However, compared to the other schools, Fang Zheng's side had the fewest participants—only six people, or three teams.
One team was naturally Fang Zheng and Julie, another was Nagakura Imari and Katou Kirin, and the final team was Tachibana Tomoe and Hotaka Gya.
Of those three teams, only Fang Zheng and Julie were aiming for the championship. The other two teams were mainly here to gain experience and soak in the atmosphere. If nothing unexpected happened, Fang Zheng would select teammates from the remaining four for next year's Griffin Star Martial Festival, so getting used to the lively atmosphere of the Phoenix Star Martial Festival in advance was not a bad choice.
No matter the world, speeches from leaders were as boring as ever. It was only when the chairperson of the operations committee announced a decision that the competitors showed some reaction. According to the chairperson, due to technological advancements, autonomous mobile machines would be allowed to compete on behalf of their owners in this tournament.
Put simply, robots were now allowed to participate in Star Martial Festival matches.
This naturally caused some unrest among the competitors, but Fang Zheng could not have cared less. They were nothing but moving lumps of metal. Taking them down would be effortless for him.
Other than that, the entire opening ceremony was rather dull and did not end until noon. The dismissed competitors then went to eat and prepared for the matches starting that afternoon.
