Haru looked around as he stepped out into what looked to be a stadium with hundreds or thousands of people sitting in chairs and looking down upon a square box that had a magic barrier around it. As the music played out, a screen that hung from the ceiling showed a young man in his early twenties walk out from a doorway that was illuminated with golden light and then begin to walk towards the cara.
The crowd cheered more as they looked up at the screen to see the man with mid-length silver hair and light blue eyes. He was wearing a combat uniform that was a black skin tight suit with magic resistant armour attached to it. Even at first glance, Haru could tell that he was wearing an S ranked lux by the materials it was made out of.
The shiny black tal with a purple shine to it made it stand out as high quality since it looked similar to the one that he had been given by his parents. But as he looked up at the face, he felt a vague sense of familiarity. It was as though he had seen the man before, but he couldn't quite recall.
Until he caught a glimpse of a woman behind him as he walked out towards the magic guarded ring, she had long red hair and wore the sa black suit that the man was wearing, but she was more recognisable than the man she was with.
"Kaira Aizawa? Then that man must be the student council president? Didn't he ask to spar with him before? Who would have thought that he was a fighting maniac? I never expected to see these two again." Haru smiled as he rembered the short ti he spent at school.
'He seed pretty strong back then. I wonder what this fight will look like. I never expected him to turn into an S rank mage, or I might have agreed to spar with him at the ti.' Haru thought to himself as he entered the ring.
"Sir, You can't stand here. You're blocking the entrance. Please go find your seat." A man in a black suit approached Haru from one side and pointed over to the seats where hundreds of people were cheering. Haru looked back at the man with a look of confusion.
'Isn't he going to check if I'm allowed to be in here? It seems like the security of this place is almost non-existent.' Haru thought as he looked around to see that there was no one who would match the generic description of a security guard.
It seed more like the event was exclusive for people who were invited and was famous for combat mages, so if anyone dared to enter without a ticket, they would be thrown out, so no one even tried, which was probably why Haru got inside so easily. They didn't expect anyone to try, yet he entered without even the slightest bit of resistance.
He looked around for a mont for an empty seat and then nodded his head.
"Sorry," Haru said and then began to find a seat. However, the stadium seed to be completely packed. There weren't any seats on the top row. So he began to make his way lower towards the ring. But even then, as he walked lower and lowered, the seats all seed to be filled.
It seed like it was a big event if they could sell out so many seats. That was until he got to the front row. There were two seats empty. There was one next to an older man with long curly hair and one next to Kaira, who was now looking up at Kazuo, who had already entered the ring.
'Why not?' Haru thought to himself as he made his way over to Kaira and sat down beside her.
"Excuse , that seat is already taken." Kaira looked at Haru and said before a sudden realisation hit her. She felt as though she had seen the man sitting beside her before, but she couldn't rember where.
"It's taken? I don't see anyone sitting here." Haru said with a smile as he looked back at her. His smile seed to remind her of sothing as she gasped slightly upon seeing it.
"You! What are you doing here?!" She exclaid upon seeing him. She knew exactly who he was from his smile.
"You're that first-year boy that terrorised with spatial rifts, aren't you!?" She asked, slightly stunned by the odds that he would appear at the fight.
Haru smiled and then looked down at her hands to see a ring on her left hand. He then looked up at the stage where the two fighters were being briefed by the referee and then saw a ring on Kazou's hand too.
"Yup, that's . And congratulations." Haru said while glancing down at the ring on her finger again. It seed as though they had gotten married, which was strange since the first ti he had seen them both together, Kazuo had threatened her and used a spell to silence her.
It was an unlikely match, but he wasn't going to judge.
"Congratulations? What do you an?" Kaira asked, confused as to what he was congratulating her for.
"Oh, you don't need to be shy. I see you are both wearing identical rings. I never thought that he would be one for marriage, though." Haru laughed slightly and looked up at the two n on the stage.
"Oh, thank you. But I still haven't forgiven you for what you did, you know? It was quite an embarrassnt to be pushed around by soone younger than . But what happened to you? The n who you injured ca back to the school to find you, but I was told that you had dropped out.
What have you been doing all this ti?" Kaira asked out of curiosity. She had never seen soone willingly drop out of school before, especially the top-ranked school in the country.
"Well, I guess so things just ca up, and I have lived in China for the past four years. I just got back to Japan a few months ago. It's actually my first ti visiting the city today. I never thought that I would find you in a place like this, though." Haru looked around once again as he spoke to see that the fight was about to start.
"What is that supposed to an?" Kaira asked, but as soon as she did, her voice was drowned out by the roaring of the crowd behind her.
