Tyriece and Lofey's first meeting was when the former was still six years old. It was on the day of the Goding's Younglings Division preliminary round.
They held the competition in the battle arena of Goding Red Cape Knight School. Men, women, and children of all stations sat on the bleachers of a rectangle-shaped stadium. Most of the wealthy families gathered near the battleground while poor families situated above the bleachers. Some children dressed with small armors on them. But most wore simple outfit.
Although Tyriece was now a registered Chiangda, he had to fight and win in this arena so his family would receive the promised rewards right away. Non-winning Chiangda had to go through more training in the barracks and graduate the course before receiving their rewards. So this fight was truly important to him.
