The Second Game

Day 20

[The game will start in one hour. All participants are invited to gather in the Great Assembly Hall]

Finally, after what felt like an eternity, the second game of this competition will begin soon. Emery and his friends decided to prepare in advance.

This time, they did not go outside the hall like before. They climbed the stairs together and arrived in the arena.

Upon entering the arena, all acolytes stared in awe when they saw the empty chairs of the first trial, utterly bursting with people this time. At the very least, there were ten-thousands or more people crammed together in the arena chairs.

Emery could feel the difference in treatment. It was clear something about the second game attracts far more audiences than the first one.
