With one step, Rocky entered the venue and was immediately greeted by a sound as loud as a tsunami, and following it, he quickly spotted the fully occupied spectator stands.
The Arena's pre-match hype for this competition was evidently successful, for when Rocky glanced toward the spectator stands, he found that not a single seat was empty, every spot was filled.
Moreover, seeing the audience's reaction to him, Rocky knew that they had already learned of his identity.
Indeed, due to a 'slight mishap' at the Arena, the audience had learned of Rocky's true identity. While it wasn't rare for nobles' offspring to participate in the competition, there were very few contestants like him, participating under the identity of a City Lord. Sometimes, several years would pass without encountering one, so the audience was naturally very intrigued by him.
