Spirits of Nature

The one hundred strongest juniors of this year's tournament walked into the arena. Cheers shook the coliseum as each group cheered for a participant. Some of them were backed by guilds or ancient families that wanted to improve their reputations. 

An example of that was Muriel, the prodigy of the Magic Association, who made her grandfather stand tall and proud. His grin never disappeared as he chattered with the rest of the archmages from the association on their balcony. 

Selo had no one backing him except commoners. His story of rising from nothing inspired them, letting them believe that they too could achieve greatness. 

Cedric was also famous, but for the wrong reasons. Most hated him and called him a brute, while others still accused him of using his connections to avoid arrest for his crimes. These two made their opinions of him very clear through banners.
