Ten minutes later...
The moment Levi stepped into the Conference Arena, he was slightly surprised to see the stands packed with Daywalkers, staff members, and even citizens of the World Tree... The stands were still being filled rapidly after the news caught fire, spreading everywhere within the city in less than a minute.
A formal battle between the current number one of today's generation and the previously proclaimed number one? Who was going to miss it?
Fortunately, the conference arena was built for exactly such scenarios... the walls were shaped from massive trunks and thick roots, their surfaces smooth in some places and rugged in others.
Wide branches circled the arena, forming natural tiers where the audience sat on clean, modern chairs secured along the wood.
Leaves overhead were connected into a dome, creating a roof of glowing leaves... meanwhile, the arena itself was crafted out of the World Tree's rugged, tough brown bark, smoothened into one giant circular floor.
