Chapter 3: The Organization

“This is it.”

Guided by Spriggan, our walk through the city had ended with us in front of a building—one that was pretty conspicuous, even by the capital’s standards.

Lorraine stared at it, looking astonished. “Are you sure? Isn’t your organization a gathering of ability wielders with unique powers who take on underworld contract work? You can’t expect us to believe that this is your base of operations...”

“I understand how you feel, but think about it: who’d ever expect us to be here? People don’t often pay attention to what’s in plain sight. I’d wager it had never crossed either of your minds that a place like this was actually hiding such a shadowy secret.”

“Of course it hadn’t,” Lorraine said. “You were right about it being in plain sight. Land-wise, it must be larger than the church or the royal palace.”

She was right, though the palace and the church would win out when it came to height. Still, this place definitely took up a larger square area of the city. I wondered which had cost more. Given this building’s purpose, its distance from the palace, and its location in the outskirts of the city rather than the center, it was safe to assume that the palace cost the most, followed by the church, followed by this place.

“A colosseum, huh?” I muttered. “Always wanted to visit one, but I never thought it’d happen like this...”

Yep, we were looking at one of the largest buildings in the entire capital, the Vistelya Grand Colosseum.

Several cities in the Kingdom of Yaaran had fighting arenas, but this one stood proud as the largest of them all. It was one of the main attractions of the city. Here, countless mighty warriors and mages had fought countless battles, creating a long history of exhilarating entertainment for Yaaran’s citizens.

Tickets—which were tags made of wood—were cheap enough for any common villager to afford, but that didn’t mean they were always easy to get. The once-a-year grand tournament, which saw the attendance of fearless competitors from all over Yaaran, was so hard to get tickets for that it was well known for desperate would-be spectators to be willing to drop tremendous amounts of coin to secure themselves one. The fact that most people wouldn’t sell despite that just went to show how popular the tournament was.

Oh, me? Sure, I wanted to see it too, but more than that, I wanted to participate. If you wanted to do that, you needed the skill to cut it, obviously, but you also needed to win your way through the preliminaries held across Yaaran. Not everybody had to do that though—some competitors could get in via recommendation. It could be from the adventurer’s guild, a noble, a big-name merchant, or even a famous combatant.

It was easy to guess that I never caught the eye of anyone like that. What’s more, I hated the idea of paying to see a tournament that I wanted to join but knew I had no chance to. I’d always wanted—and I mean really wanted—my first visit to be as a competitor.
