We arrived at the Grand Coliseum and noticed that a few people were already present.
Members of Elf Royalty were seated at the opposite end of the circular hall.
It was a massive structure located within the Palace.
The size was something that should never have been possible with the way the Royal building looked from the outside, which suggested that Magic was at work.
We sort of sat facing each other, separated by the wide gulf that was the stage itself.
Standing on the stage were the two contestants—Aurora and Serah.
I wasn't in the slightest bit worried about the effects of their battle. After all, the defensive array the Elves had was impressive enough to block off the effects of certain Magics on the Transcendental Level.
This was protection given by the Sacred Tree itself, so I was convinced of its potency.
'Besides, they're only having a Friendly Duel, so it shouldn't be a big deal… right?'
I would be a fool to believe that.
Both of these women were scary.
