Bab 153: Exhibition Tournament

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Kingdom of Arcadios!" the voice of an announcer wearing vibrant clothes that would make even the most over-the-top nobles blush. "Today is the first-ever International Exhibition Tournament! Thanks to the involvement of the kingdom of Aedrider, our wonderful event is also being broadcast to every corner of our fair capital. So please watch and enjoy! Allow me to explain today's series of events…"

The entire city was buzzing with excitement. Nearly every business that did not deal with food and drink had closed down for the day to watch the matches. This was the first time for most people in the capital, both citizens and visitors, to witness such an event. More often than not, tickets were either sold out or prohibitively expensive for the common man to purchase.
