The hype is real!!!

None of us could wait for the tournaments to begin.

The first battle starts at 12:30 p.m. So as to give everyone a chance to eat.

There are thirty two teams

We arrived at the colosseum at 11:00 a.m. and sat with the teams from Beacon.

The other students sat on opposite sides of the colosseum.

Those from Haven sat across from us. While Atlas and Shade students sat opposite of each other.

To our left was team RWBY and to our right, team CFVY.

                            -(12:20 p.m.)-

Prof. Port's voice came onto the speakers,"Ladies and gentlemen! It's time to choose our first combatants!"

All of us were waiting in anticipation, while the crowd of many thousands of people in the colosseum, and many more in their homes, cheered.

The dial in the large screens began to spin, choosing in random, the first match up.

It was between our very own team RWBY! And team ABRN from Shade.

"Ayyyy!!! It's you guys!" I said.

"Good luck!" The teams and fans of Beacon academy cheered.

Team RWBY left to prepare. The crowd was extremely loud and was actually starting to bother me.

I pulled out the tangled mess of wires from my pocket and listened to music as my solution. However, I could very faintly hear the noises in the background.

The teams stepped onto the arena, lining up in  the center.

Dr. Oobleck announced,"Ready!...Begin!"

The fighting between the two teams began, with RWBY making the first move.

The match was neck-and-neck for the most part.

Team RWBY was on the offensive almost all the time, but team ABRN was just as capable.

In the end, teamwork paved the way to victory as team RWBY knocked out team ABRN in one amazing, and slightly complicated, team attack.

The colosseum shook from the cheering of the crowd. I could hear the loud and clear, even with the volume on max.

"Yeeeeaaaaahhhh!!!! That's what's up!!!" I shouted.

"Go!!! RWBY!!!" Nora shouted.

The students from Beacon were probably cheering louder than everyone else, or maybe it was because I was towards the front of the group, in the direction everyone was shouting in.

"The first win goes to Beacon!" Gabe said.

Even Fia, who had joined us only days before, seemed pretty excited about our victory.

There was a five minute intermission. To allow the team to get back to their seats.

Team RWBY was met with the same cheering from the participants from Beacon.

"Good job guys!" I said to them as they sat down.
