"Genesis! Hear my word! As the representative of the demi-humans, a general, and a true blooded warrior, the coliseum will officially open for the first battles ever!" Scylla's war cry broke through the air to all of Genesis. Walker was certain that this was some form of skill she had to inspire warriors.
The result was instantaneous. People that had been waiting for this shut down their shops and rushed toward the coliseum to grab seats around the arenas. Many of those with the desire to fight rushed to get to the waiting rooms where they would wait to be sent against opponents.
"Su, you should run too. I will get Ignus and Mordant from the mage tower so that they can sit with the other representatives. I think they will be on their way already through."
Su gave a simple nod and sprinted off. Walker took to the air using the wind ripple skill to walk all the way over the nearby shops and homes. Scylla's cry had done more than just called the people. Many of the guards had moved in to place to more or less lock down the city so that people would not become too rowdy.
"You seem excited as well as us. We have been waiting for a notice to watch the warriors present their strengths." Mordant and Ignus met Walker in the air. He had barely made it halfway to the mage tower before he was caught.
"I have to go and see too. I know I will be dragged in to something but I want to be able to watch some of them too." It was an inevitability. Walker knew that he could not get away from Scylla's grasp. He would be dragged in to some form of battle even if it was just to show off his strength in front of Genesis.
"It is only natural that a dragon shows off their strength. Your champion should be participating as well, correct?" Now Walker wasn't sure if Midnight would. He had not expected her to do so. Yet, when Ignus asked, he almost said yes automatically.
"Listen closely! There will be multiple categories for every age group. We have the purely magical battles, the purely physical skill based battles, and we have the mixed magic and physical battles. There may not be equal in participants in each category but they will be more than enough to witness the true strength of Genesis!"
Scylla's calls brought more and more to the coliseum. She was sure that she was bringing the right amount of energy. "Our judges will decide those from each category. There will only be three who will rise among each category. Three who deserve the praise of Genesis! Welcome, King Rorick, The adventurer's guild master; Clara, and a last minute specially invited judge; Royal dragon Ignus!"
"Oh, I forgot to tell you. I spoke to your general Scylla and was invited to join as a judge." Both Mordant and Walker were stunned at how Ignus had hidden this so easily. They hadn't even caught wind that he had spoken to Scylla, let alone volunteered to be a judge.
Scylla's gaze fell on Walker with a sneaky grin. She knew that she had managed to surprise him which was only fair since he had constantly surprised many people in Genesis. No one had bothered to ask her what she was doing when she journeyed to the fire elemental floor the previous night to ask Ignus to join. She wanted to hear the opinions of a royal dragon when the battles were happening.
"A royal dragon sitting next to me to judge battles. What a world we live in. You must have a match with me later." Rorick was boiling with energy. He loved the feeling of this new coliseum. He thrived in the determination from every participant.
"Little demi-human, I can easily crush you. But if it is a lesson you desire then I shall teach it to you." Ignus felt the very same as Rorick. He wanted to test the limits of the crow to see who would stay to watch a glorious battle between a dragon and many others.
"We are judging others, not battling ourselves. I will judge them clearly on their ability and wits. I hope you do the same." Clara attempted to be the ground for the two as they seemed ready to fly off in to battle at any moment.
"Mages have reinforced barriers all around the arenas. There is no need to worry that there is any danger. Brace yourselves to see veterans and young warriors alike enter battles to show you their skills. Will they be future guards? Soldiers? Or will they grow to be the next beacon of strength to inspire a whole new generation? You can judge them as you see fit. Bring in the first round, young warriors of magical ability!"
Yet again, Scylla inspired many to roar in expectation. They were watching the many young mages walk through the doors. Some had robes while others wore armor. Most had staffs but some had other means of using their skills. Those that did not have any weapons were seen as weak. That was one common misconception that Walker already understood.
He was using his senses to feel the mana around each of them. Those with the most gear in their bodies seemed to have the most help from runes. But that also meant that they were pushing themselves. Those without seemed to understand their skills better and already held more elemental mana around them.
"I can't wait to see what they can do. By the time we get to the veteran mages, I'm not sure what things will be like." Mordant watched carefully as Walker began to get more energetic as well. He was sure that Walker would end up battling later even without encouragement.
