John and Azelis arrived in the Arena—a section of the mountain with two layers. Each layer was carved up to be as big as two football fields placed side by side.
Each layer had crater-like fighting rings placed for Tamers to battle within.
For normal fights without the use of Monsters, there were smaller rings while bigger ones were reserved for all-out fights.
"Look! It's goddess Azelis!"
"And that guy…urgh."
"Haha, this is a good thing. I'm going to challenge him."
"Someone call Rakin here. It's going to be fun."
"Tsk, I wonder why goddess Azelis brought a rando to make him her first apprentice."
"Hmm, he does look handsome. If he is strong, I might go after him, hehe."
…
Azelis led John to the fighting ring in the center, a 50-meter radius crater.
John calmly stepped inside, his attire was the usual black-red accent robe of Ouroboros Hall.
Azelis cleared her throat before speaking, her voice spreading far and wide as if carried by magic.
