The mid-morn sun above Crownspire scorched the lands.
However, there was something even more fiery far beneath it. A duel.
Two young men, one with blonde hair and golden eyes and the other with faded copper, locked gazes as they stood a fair distance across from each other.
No one else, aside from Walker himself and the senior referee of Crownspire Arena, would bear witness to the upcoming duel.
Cindy could only wallow in regret that she could not watch the spectacle live.
Despite this, the atmosphere was anticipatory. The Iron Lotus Representative couldn't say he was not thrilled.
In fact, he was taken aback by his guild's talent's rather extreme but practical suggestion, though more by the young man's willingness to go through so many high-difficulty battles.
Walker even felt that Daru was quite happy with how things turned out.
'Well, I guess this explains why he's at the top of his tier, at least…' the representative chuckled inwardly.
