A New Life In Another World: Volume 2

Chapter 102: The Tournament Part 1

Today was the day of the tournament. However, because I have too much on my mind, I don't think I'll be able to enjoy the tournament fights.

There's Nocticula, War, and Tora that I currently stressing over. I need to find Nocticula, tame War, and prevent Tora from being consumed by War and becoming a Berserker, which might also possibly release War in the process.

And yet there's a tournament...this is getting way too complicated for me to process.

"What do you think the tournament will be like?" Vlad asked while we were walking over to the Colosseum.

Because the tournament was today, everyone from my group planned to head over to the colosseum and check it out, so we had a very large group currently.

"I'm not sure..." I said, still processing things. "Though, I didn't expect to see that the colosseum looked so similar to the one on my old world."

"Really?"

"Yeah."

The colosseum in Tengoku looked pretty similar to the one from Earth. In that world, there was a Roman Colosseum that hosted things like Gladiator fights and I think festivals. Judging from where the tournament is happening, I guess it's the same for this colosseum.

Considering how both colosseums' look the same, I guess this was created with the help of one of the Jade Emperors. Since all the Jade Emperors' seem to originate from Earth, this is the only explanation.

"Big bro, is there going to be a fight?" Lilith asked me while I held her in my arms.

"Yes, that's why it's called a Tournament, Lilith," I explained to her.

"Oh..." Lilith looked a little sad.

From what I can tell from her emotions being transferred to me, she seems scared. Scared that there's going to be people fighting one another.

Maybe she has some trauma from the village massacre?

"Don't worry too much, Lilith," I said while patting her head. "This is mostly for fun and sport, so nothing serious is going to happen."

"Okay!" Lilith smiled at me. That seemed to have brightened her spirits a bit.

After cheering up Lilith, we continued walking over to the colosseum. While doing that, I made a note of something.

"There seems to be a magic barrier surrounding the colosseum."

Because my senses were extremely heightened thanks to [Absolute Domain], I could see a somewhat visible barrier engulfing the entire structure. And judging from the power emitting from it, it seems to be a pretty sturdy barrier.

"The barrier's likely placed in order to keep intruders from causing trouble and prevent any attacks from the fight to cause any damage outside the place," Amy explained.

"What about the people inside?" Vlad asked.

"I assume there's going to be a second barrier made exclusively for the fighting ring to prevent any attacks from hitting them as well."

Sounds about right. Especially when you've seen how powerful the people here are. There have probably been a couple of accidents to make them set up a barrier. Either that or that had the foresight to set one up just in case something was the happen.

Suddenly, I smelled something tasty. I looked around and saw that there were a lot of food stalls. Each one was serving some kind of nice and exotic food. I didn't notice the stands until I smelled them.
