Many of the teams that were out of the competition chose to return while others chose to stay and watch the games...
Many of them were called to be Guests on the commentary while the games unfold on later due...
At the same time on an abandoned corner of the Capital, a few creeping sounds could be heard from within a building along with whispers...
??? : It seems that our position was quite solid...
???? : Thankful, you didn't need to draw much of my magic...
??? : However, i would like to play it safe for now and note of that particular person finding out...
???? : You are worrying too much Mardgeer, Keyes and I being bonded to each other through the shadows...
???? : His magic will look like a space-related one as the mass came out from his shadow...
Mardgeer : Never underestimate your opponents Rogue...
Mardgeer : It's better to assume they felt it and act from here towards our Goal...
Rogue : It wouldn't matter as, in the end, we will rule the world...
Mardgeer : That we can agree upon it...
As they continue to talk about their grant plan in this tournament they failed to sense anything weird in their surrounding thinking that they were safe...
Even the King of The Underworlds thought that now his position and talks were safe and not exposed...
Despite that, however, the hidden eyes that were watching them had a glint in them thinking to how naive they were...
Time passed and hours turned to days and onwards into weeks as eventually the time for the official Grand Games were upon them...
In this timeframe, Ryouji would occasionally find time and spy in Tartaros Guild and their activities as a means to throw them out of the games and make one of the follow Guild to participate...
Surprising enough though he couldn't find any solid evidence of found something under his nose...
But he wasn't that worried as he knew they will eventually slip up and cause their downfall...
Moving on, all the teams were gathered in the stadium for the first day of the matches and while they were waiting, Mato appeared as he gave a speech about the points and such...
The teams on the field were...
The Old Dragon Team...
Fairy Tail Team...
Tartaros Team...
Alvarez A Team...
Alvarez B Team...
The Ten Wizard Team...
Edolas Team...
Sabertooth Team...
While many other teams that didn't manage to pass were spectators as many others left the vicinity as having nothing to do...
Mato : Welcome!!! And its time to introduce the first Game of the day as opposed to all the members gathered here...
Mato : Open the field!!!!
The stadium suddenly transformed under the command of Mato into a miniature city in an instant once again before they suddenly teleported to a different location in each part of this miniature city.
Mato : The rules for Hidden are simple.
Mato : 1 - Contestants are to find their opponents somewhere in the city and use any magic they like to attack.
Mato : 2 - Regardless of how much damage is dealt, every successful hit will earn the player one point...
Mato : 3 - These are copies we made of everyone. If a player mistakenly attacks a copy... he or she will lose one point.
Mato : 4 - The time limit is 30 minutes!
Everyone understood the rules and Ryouji with the rest had an amusing expression on their faces as this was probably the most advance version of hiding and seek...
Furthermore, this was a team battle which means they need to coordinance between each other as who will seek and who will hide...
Mato : Now let the Hidden Game Begin!!!
