The Tournament 1
The grand amphitheater of Arcanaeum Academy was alive with an electric energy, the hum of excitement rising like a crescendo as the tournament prepared to begin. The stadium was a breathtaking sight: an enormous, circular structure carved from obsidian and inlaid with glowing runes that pulsed rhythmically with mana. The seats stretched high into the sky, forming tiers that provided every spectator a clear view of the expansive stage below. Floating orbs of light hovered above, casting a soft, golden glow that illuminated the space without casting shadows.
