Can't You Calm Down a Little?
That day, the academy Floating City, "Mistgun," was livelier than usual.
People came from all directions in twos and threes, then converged toward a single destination and entered a vast venue.
It was an open-air arena.
Its appearance resembled the Colosseum of ancient Rome. In the center was a dirt battle arena, surrounded by high walls that enclosed it in a circle. Behind the walls were tiered stands, where spectators entered one after another and filled the seats.
This arena was specifically provided for the Aerial Combat Mage Department in "Mistgun" to hold its internal ranking battles.
On ordinary days, even ranking battles between A-rank squads were nowhere near this lively. The arena was completely packed.
Now, a ranking battle between two E-rank squads was about to begin here.
That was right.
Today was the ranking battle between E601 Squad and E571 Squad.
The people in "Mistgun" who had already learned the significance of this ranking battle all came here without hesitation, filling the arena to capacity.
The fact that a ranking battle between two E-rank squads could be so lively made many Aerial Combat Mages from higher-ranked squads reveal complicated expressions.
Only in one corner of the stands, someone was watching the scene with a cheerful grin.
"I never thought that after so many years, I'd be able to see so many spectators again. Is the title of the 'Magecraft King' really that extraordinary?"
The person speaking so cheerfully was Kanata, who had been eagerly anticipating the match ever since entering the arena.
Just as Chloe had said before, Kanata had come here to watch the match.
There were many people sitting with him.
Chloe was there.
Flonne was there as well.
At the same time, Luo Zhen was also there.
