(MC POV)
My disciples won the preliminary rounds easily as expected so there weren't any surprises there.
Obviously there was a huge uproar over the results seeing that the girls didn't care who they defeated and several of the participants that people had wagered to win were eliminated easily without having a chance to fight back.
From the shouts and cries of rage, I could tell that a lot of people already lost a lot of money from the preliminary rounds alone.
In fact, a lot of them were glaring at me like I was the source of their woes. Which I suppose I actually am, considering I did rig this in my favour a little.
The glares they were sending me was also enough to tell me just what they were planning to do once I walked outside of this place. If the gods were not here, they would have already leapt from their seats to attack me already.
How stupid.
