They went not directly into the arena, but around it, waiting on the sidelines for their fights. All the others who would take part in the tournament did the same.
Arthur and his students weren't the last ones to arrive. In fact, they were one of the first ones! When the crowd saw them walking up to the arena, all of them lost their breaths after an intense round of screaming.
"The One Hundred Thunder Academy is here!"
"These youths look fierce. I am glad I am not their opponent."
"Who is the youth leading them? Don't tell me his an Official Mage already?"
"Don't you hear? He is a friend of Brook, and even got a VIP card from him!"
"What? Brook was the rank 2 mage? This kid must be incredible. Could him be Brooks' grandson?"
The crowd went insane, mostly talking about Arthur, who had become a sensation inside the city.
Laura was beside him, tapping Arthur using her elbow. "Look, they love you."
