It was early morning, the air was cold yet the spirits were high.
Alexander sat in the stands next to Nagano, more part of a crowd cheering for the various guilds fighting it out on stage.
They sat at the front, the upside being that people couldn't turn around and take pictures like they had done earlier. Nicely enough, they had been upgraded to better seats.
"We could've just used the VIP lounge area, up there," said Alexander.
"We wouldn't be able to see anything from there, also being part of the crowd feels different, you can feel the energy, you know?" replied Nagano.
I would be able to see just fine.
The fights weren't incredible, but he didn't mind. The hype for the open tiers tournament was higher than it ever was before. They kept showing Alexander's non-reactions on the giant screens, the announcer saying things like "Will this get a reaction out of our cultist?!"
"Why watch these events?" asked Alexander. "Why not participate, if you have the time, anyway."
