The Terra City Magus tournament was more than just a spectacle. It was a strategic effort to foster growth among the newer, younger magus generation, to allow them a stage to showcase their talents while reinforcing the bonds between Terra Magus and its allies.
The atmosphere was charged with excitement as the crowd eagerly awaited the battles to come. Tens of thousands of Terra City residents filled the arena, their voices creating a powerful wave of cheers and chants for their favorite participants.
However, it quickly became apparent most of the top magus leaders abstained from participating. Chief Beowulf of the Twilight Hall, a formidable presence in any battle, was noticeably absent from the roster. Likewise, Grisa and Silica, two of Terra City's renowned leaders, chose to sit out, watching from the grandstands rather than competing.
Klea and Chumo also opted for the same, preferring to remain a spectator.
