Chapter 352: Intimidate

The inside of the Valkyria Arena was as grand as the outside, and Kaizen walked through the long corridors, watching with curiosity as other competitors rushed by. The place was indeed huge, with gray stone walls and tall arched windows that let in natural light, but blocked out any intruders with thick steel bars. The corridors were filled with the sound of voices and the smell of food being prepared in the stalls scattered throughout the place. Apparently, the more select merchants had special permission to sell inside the arena.

Players were grouped together, some in shining armor, others in civilian clothes, but all wearing a magic bracelet like Kaizen's. Seeing these groups together, Psyker realized that the group round would probably not be as easy as it seemed. It was likely that many players would play in pairs, trios, or even larger groups when they met some acquaintances to increase their chances of advancing to the next round.
