"Ladies and gentlemen! It's your favorite host, Faris, and his beautiful co-host, Lady Layla!"
"Faris, must you introduce me like that every single time?" Layla let out a helpless sigh, though from the look on her face, it was obvious she was satisfied with it.
"Of course! It's part of the charm, and I'm just speaking the truth." Faris grinned and winked at her before turning back to the arena. "Now then, who's ready for another exciting round?"
"YEAH!"
"ME!"
"LET'S START ALREADY!"
The crowd roared back in response.
"Haha, now, now, please calm down." Faris made an exaggerated gesture. "I know you've been waiting for the semi-finals since yesterday, especially after that special 'news'. But don't worry, you won't have to wait much longer. In just a few minutes, all contestants will take their stations, and we will be able to uncover who this 'Bagdad's Savior' is!"
The crowd erupted once again, as most of them were locals.
