As Ning and Saphandra waited for the match to begin, they noticed just how many people had come to the arena this morning.
"Look at those people, they look like nobles," Saphandra said.
"And that man over there, I think he's a well-known merchant around here," Ning said.
"Wait, aren't those the colors of the Darius royal family? Is a royal family member here today?" Saphandra asked.
They were truly surprised by just how massive the event was for what should have been a simple match between two summoners.
"I… might end up earning way more than I would have thought," Saphandra said.
"Are you sure you will be able to earn at all?" Ning asked as he looked around. "He might actually end up being monstrous given the people here."
"We'll find out soon," Saphandra said.
