"This is sure to be a fascinating day today! All of our contestants for today's Vytal Festival tournament have been handpicked from each of the four kingdoms, and are ready to do their homes proud while squaring off against other hunters and huntresses in training!" Like he always did, Professor Oobleck spoke at a thousand miles an hour. "This is also the first year in which each of the brackets are going to be held differently than before."

Professor Port nodded to the bespectacled man beside him in agreement. "Yes, this will be the first year where the tournament will start on the doubles round. Each of the teams competing will divide into two smaller teams to fight against another pair. The winning pair will proceed onto the next bracket. In the second round, the winners of the past round will all participate in a four-way battle against one another. Whoever competes against who is decided on random, which does make it possible for teammates to fight one another! Only one person from each fight in the second round can proceed, meaning that you will have to make a tough choice to move on, or let your teammate move on."

Port had been prepared to speak, but another voice rang out instead. "And the final round will be a singles round, pitting the remaining hunters and huntresses against each other." The voice came from one of the beacon professors alongside Oobleck and Port. She sat sideways on the chair, careful with her large tail.

"Oho!" Oobleck called out. "Professor Cross, I'm glad you've made it." He watched as the ebony skinned Faunus took her seat next to Oobleck and away from Port. He turned to the camera once again with a smile. "Ladies and gentlemen, this is our fellow teacher and huntress, Professor Cross. She teaches the science behind the weapons that our students wield, and is an accomplished huntress in her own right!"

"Hello everyone. As Professor Oobleck said, my name is Professor Ophelia Cross, and this will be the second time that I have joined these men in announcing the Vytal Festival while in Vale." She smiled to the camera. "And I'd like to give a shout out to me daughter, who is competing in the tournament today! Knock 'em dead Amari!"
