"But why have they come early?"
A series of audible dialogues rose into the air and Adam was as clueless as a stone statue. He looked at the pup and shrugged.

Adam waved his hand and the waiter ran to him with delight.
He might order something.

The man didn't expect the question but he nonetheless answered honestly. "The Royal Academy in the capital city conducts a tournament every two years. As a prelude to this, a preliminary round will take place in the cities of the empire. Individuals fight each other in the arena and only the top 10 can obtain the right to participate in the tournament conducted in the Flamboyant City. The final winner is rewarded handsomely and that's how many people's lives changed drastically."
