I wasn’t ready for the size of the crowd.

I’d been in several of these tournaments now, but I’d never seen so many avatars packed into a place. Not only that, but the rafters attached to the tops of the stadium were also full, the top of the Steeple, the Steeple that I owned, cast a red light onto everything.

The stadium was divided into sections, and it was clear as day which section was ours once I saw the flags with the lightning bolts on them, as well as the random bolts appearing in the sky above the fans. Other kingdoms were equally distinguishable, such as the flames burning from lamps all around Ignis, and the pillars of water around Kingdom River.

Others were less distinguishable. After all, how did one go about representing healing, the Sana Kingdom? Or Psy, the power and kingdom dedicated to telepathic and psychological spells?

The next thing that caught my attention was Ray Steampunk’s airship, a glorious vessel covered in brass, pipes jutting off its bottom and a steamstack on top, a white cloud from all the steam it was releasing. I couldn’t tell if he was in the stadium or not, it was way too busy for that, and the lights had started to dim, but I did catch a skybox behind us that seemed like an optimal place to watch the battles.

Iris and I stood on the sidelines now, my counterpart’s glasses lighting up as she went through instructions provided by the tournament committee.

Aya and Lady C. materialized, the Lume crowd roaring in approval.

The Thulean ignored their cheers as she drew her blade, bringing it to the ready. Lady C., on the other hand, couldn’t help but wave at everyone, offering them a cute bow before drawing both her blades, twirling them, and crossing them in front of her body.

A fire ignited on the other side of the battlefield, letting us know that we would fight Kingdom Ignis in the test round. We had to win this one too; it would give us advantage going forward.

The first two forms to take shape were the Ignis Alphas, a pair of twin sisters (or at least, twin avatars), with flaming hair tied off in pigtails. One wore a suspender skirt and high-heeled Converse; the other was in a dress, the bottom of which was burning blue. Their Hunters took shape and Iris identified them before I could.

“Succubus, level eleven,” she said, nodding to a scantily clad dark-skinned woman with red eyes, midnight blue hair and little wings.

“Those wings seem useless.”

She snorted. “They probably aren’t. The next one is a Drachma Killer, level fourteen.”

“Drachma Killer?” I asked, staring at the man curiously. He wore a tunic, his long hair was braided with tiny skulls, and red tattoos ran down his cheekbones. The man already had his blade drawn, a jagged Persian sword with a red scarf tied to its hilt.

“A group of PKers from the 2060s,” she explained. “They did some pretty wicked stuff in Unigaea, Lady C.
