The arena was filled with the sound of clashing swords, grunts of exertion, and cheers from the audience as the elimination round began. The combatants, all with their own unique fighting styles and techniques, clashed in the center of the arena in a display of raw power and skill.

The crowd watched in awe as fighters were knocked out one by one, with each clash more intense and thrilling than the last. The tension was high as the number of combatants dwindled, and the remaining fighters became more and more determined to prove their worth.

As the dust settled, only 28 of the original 100 combatants remained standing. The commentator's voice boomed over the Coliseum, "Ladies and gentlemen, what a round! The first round of the Grand Minotaur Tournament has come to a close, and we have our 28 remaining fighters! These warriors have proven themselves to be the strongest and most skilled among their peers."

The crowd erupted in cheers and applause, the excitement in the air almost tangible. The commentator continued, "These 28 fighters will move on to the next round, where they will face even greater challenges and obstacles. So, let's give a round of applause to these brave fighters, and wish them the best of luck in the next round!"

The remaining 28 fighters stood in the center of the arena, each one of them waiting to hear when will the next round start. The commentator's voice boomed through the stadium, "What a round it has been so far! The eliminations were fierce and we have seen some great fighters fall, but the strongest of the strong remain!"

The crowd erupted in cheers as the commentator continued, "And now, let's talk about the fighters who left the biggest impression and made it through to the next round! Maximus Decimus Meridius, what a fighter! His sword skills are impeccable and he has shown great strength and agility throughout the eliminations."

The crowd cheered as Maximus raised his sword in the air, acknowledging the praise. The commentator then moved on to the next one, "And how about Octavius the Destroyer, folks? He lived up to his name and destroyed his opponents with ease. He has shown great power and skill and is definitely a force to be reckoned with."

The crowd erupted once again as Octavius flexed his muscles, showing off his impressive physique. The commentator then turned his attention to Suzuka, "Now, let's talk about Helen, folks. Beauty and brown combined, what a fighter! She has shown incredible battle prowess and strength. She is definitely a fan favorite and it's easy to see why!"

The crowd cheered as Suzuka gave a small smile, feeling the support of the fans. Finally, the commentator talked about Leonidas, "And last but not least, we have Leonidas the Lion. He has proven to be a ferocious fighter and his raw power is unmatched. He is definitely a contender for the championship title. But don't get me wrong folk! Make no mistake!" The commentator shouted over the din of the crowd. "Every fighter in this tournament is a force to be reckoned with. Prepare yourselves for an epic showdown of strength, skill, and willpower!"

The crowd erupted once again, their cheers and applause echoing through the arena. Suzuka couldn't help but smile at the enthusiasm and excitement of the spectators.

As the commentator's voice bellowed over the Coliseum, the noise of the crowd subsided, and all eyes turned to the stage. "Let us take a one-hour break," he howled, his voice echoing throughout the arena, "to allow our valiant fighters a chance to recover before the next round of battles. But don't go too far, my friends, for the greatest fights in the town are yet to come!"

The audience erupted into cheers once more, clapping and shouting their support for the warriors who had already proven themselves. Even the fighters, their bodies bruised and battered, felt their spirits lift at the sound of the crowd's appreciation.

For the next hour, the arena was alive with anticipation, as spectators eagerly discussed the battles that had taken place and speculated on who to bet their money on. The air was thick with excitement, and the fighters could feel it even from backstage.

Finally, the break was over, and the announcer's voice roared once more over the Coliseum, "Ladies and gentlemen, the moment you have been waiting for is here! The tournament brackets have been completed, and the greatest fights in the town are about to begin!"

The one-hour break seemed to pass by quickly as the fighters were itching to get back into the arena. The tension in the air was intense as the crowd waited in anticipation for the next round of fights to begin.

Suzuka's heart was pounding with excitement and anticipation as she scanned the tournament brackets. She could see that all of the best fighters were spread out across the different brackets, ensuring that they would not face each other until the later rounds. It was a clever tactic by the tournament organizers to keep the fans on the edge of their seats and maintain the suspense until the very end.

The rules of the tournament were simple: there was only one winner, and the loser was immediately escorted out. There was no room for mistakes or second chances. Every fight had to be won, and the pressure was immense. There is no second or third place in this tournament only the winner.

 As the first pair of combatants stepped into the arena, the commentator's voice growled, "Ladies and gentlemen, the moment you've been waiting for has arrived! It's time for the first round of the Grand Minotaur Tournament!"

The crowd erupted into a frenzy as the fighters charged toward each other, the sound of clashing weapons and grunts filling the air. Each fight was intense and the combatants pushed themselves to their limits, fighting with everything they had to stay in the competition.

As the fights progressed, the number of combatants dwindled and the tension only grew. The crowd watched in awe as some fighters displayed incredible feats of strength and skill, while others fell to their opponents.

Suzuka fought fiercely in her first round, taking down her opponent with ease, her movements fluid and precise. The crowd cheered with every strike she landed, but also gasped as she received a blow from her opponent. However, Suzuka persevered and advanced to the next round.

As the fighters were escorted off the arena, the commentator's voice filled the air once more, "That was just the beginning, folks! Stay tuned for the next round, where the fights will only get more intense! You better don't miss it, folks!"

Suzuka couldn't wait for the next round, feeling confident in her skills but also knowing that anything could happen in the competition. She stepped into the arena, the air filled with tension and excitement. She could feel the eyes of the crowd upon her as she took her place on the battlefield. The second round of the Grand Minotaur Tournament was about to begin, and she was ready.

 Suzuka's second opponent was a towering figure, with bulging muscles and a fierce look in his eyes. He charged towards Suzuka, throwing a punch with all his might. But Suzuka was too quick, dodging the attack and countering with a powerful kick to his's stomach. The crowd was stunned as Suzuka's first opponent, a towering behemoth named Goliath, fell to the ground after just one attack. The entire arena erupted in shock and disbelief.

"Did you see that, folks?!" exclaimed the commentator, his voice filled with excitement and disbelief. "Helen just took down Goliath with a single strike! She's an unstoppable force, folks!"

The audience cheered wildly, impressed by Suzuka's raw power and skill. Even her fellow competitors looked on in awe, realizing that they were up against a true monster.

Next up was Mason, a skilled swordsman known for his lightning-fast strikes. He was a tough opponent, but Suzuka was ready. She blocked his attacks with ease, waiting for the perfect moment to strike. And when it came, she delivered a devastating blow to Mason's chest, sending him flying across the arena.

As her opponent lay on the ground, the crowd erupted into stunned silence. The commentator, who had been shouting at the top of his lungs just moments ago, was left speechless. He stood there with his mouth agape, trying to process what he had just witnessed.

"That was incredible!" he finally managed to shout, as the crowd slowly began to come back to life. "Did you see that? After a long onslaught of lightning-fast attacks delivered by her opponent, Helen just took him down with one hit! That's what I call a knockout!"

The crowd roared in approval, their excitement reaching a fever pitch. Suzuka had once again proven herself to be unstoppable, and the spectators were loving every minute of it.

"Who's next?" The hypeman shouted, his voice echoing through the arena. "Who's brave enough to take on this warrior princess? I don't know about you, folks, but I can't wait to see what she does next!"

For her fourth round, she faced "The Silent Assassin" Kanon: she was a mysterious figure, known for her deadly accuracy and silent movements. But Suzuka was not intimidated. She engaged Kanon in a fierce battle, dodging her attacks and striking back with deadly force. In the end, it was Suzuka's speed and strength that won the day, as she delivered a final blow that sent Kanon crashing to the ground.

The hypeman's voice boomed, "Ladies and gentlemen, make some noise for Helen! She claimed another victory, folks! What a performance!"

On the next round, she faced "The Thunderous Roar" Tatsuo: he was a brute of a man, with muscles bulging from every inch of his body. He charged towards Suzuka with a deafening roar, his fists pounding the ground with every step. But Suzuka stood her ground, her eyes focused and her muscles taut. And when Tatsuo reached her, she delivered a single blow that sent him crashing to the ground.

"Ladies and gentlemen, did you just see that?! The Thunderous Roar has been silenced by Helen's incredible power and skill! She took down Tatsuo with just one blow, leaving him writhing on the ground in defeat, and she is not done yet!"

In her sixth round, she faced "The Flying Falcon" Aiko: Aiko was a nimble fighter, known for her incredible speed and agility. She darted around the arena, striking Suzuka from all sides. But Suzuka was no stranger to fast opponents. She followed Aiko's movements with her eyes, waiting for the perfect opportunity to strike. And when it came, she delivered a swift blow that sent Aiko spiraling to the ground.

The crowd was on the edge of their seats as Suzuka claimed her victory in the sixth round, securing her place in the semifinals. They had watched her dominate her opponents one after another, and now they could barely contain their excitement as she moved closer and closer to the championship.

The hypeman's voice boomed over the arena, "Ladies and gentlemen, give it up for Helen! She's done it again, folks, and now she's only two wins away from the opportunity to challenge the Grand Minotaur! Who could have predicted this stunning performance? The way she's been fighting, she's got a real shot at taking home the trophy!"

The crowd erupted into cheers and applause, their excitement was high as they discussed Suzuka's chances with one another. Some were calling her the dark horse of the tournament, while others were already predicting her victory.

As the bracket was announced, revealing that Suzuka would be facing Leonidas in the semifinals, the hypeman's voice echoed through the arena, "It looks like Helen got a tough match ahead of her, folks! Leonidas is no pushover, but we all know Helen got what it takes to come out on top! And in the other semifinal match, we've got Maximus facing off against Octavius! Who will make it to the championship? It's anybody's guess, but one thing's for sure - it's going to be one heck of a battle!"
