Park Jin-woo shook his head and composed himself.
Walking the streets with Camilla.
In fact, they had gone out together several times before, but walking together in the unfamiliar land of America felt different.
Moreover, America was Camilla’s homeland.
For Park Jin-woo, it was also a place he didn’t know well, so he couldn’t help but tense his shoulders more to avoid making mistakes.
“Jin-woo! Try this.”
Whether she knew Park Jin-woo’s feelings or not, Camilla ordered food from a food truck with an excited face.
This was already the fourth food truck.
At first, she had said strange things like ‘As expected, the clan master is bold...’, but she quickly regained her enthusiasm and began exploring food.
Hot dogs, waffles, pretzels, pizza slices....
They had eaten all sorts of food, even skipping lunch, but she didn’t seem to tire of it and found another new food truck.
‘Bagel....’
A bread shaped like a donut with a hole in the center.
The shape split in half and the inside filled with cheese.
It was a cream cheese bagel, said to be a specialty of the food trucks in this area.
Although it wasn’t a food he particularly liked, he couldn’t refuse when Camilla was feeding him directly.
Park Jin-woo immediately bit into one side of the bagel.
“Ouw- I mean, um... It’s delicious?”
And just as he was about to use his usual exclamation...
He hesitated for a moment and changed his words.
He remembered the special coaching his friend had given him in Queens before Camilla arrived.
– Don’t use that ‘ouw’ in front of Camilla.
– ......? No, why?
– Ah. Just don’t use it if I tell you not to.
– ...Okay.
Although he didn’t like it, his friend was his senior in terms of dating.
There was no harm in taking his advice to heart.
“Haha! Jin-woo, is it really delicious?”
Seeing Park Jin-woo eating the bagel deliciously, Camilla burst into laughter and clapped her hands.
She looked like she had seen something amusing.
Park Jin-woo replied with an embarrassed feeling.
“Yeah, it’s delicious. Why?”
“This is super greasy. I thought Jin-woo would dislike it.”
“Ah....”
In fact, Camilla was right.
The food truck’s cream cheese bagel was certainly delicious, but it was a bit overwhelming and greasy to eat continuously.
Above all, it wasn’t Park Jin-woo’s style of food.
What Park Jin-woo liked was generally pork cutlet, stir-fried pork, bibimbap....
A typical macho man’s diet.
“Jin-woo, thank you.”
“Huh? For what?”
Park Jin-woo asked back at the sudden thanks, but Camilla’s face was more peaceful than ever.
“Just, for everything. For eating food that doesn’t suit you with me, and also....”
Camilla, who was awkward with Korean, slowly formed her sentences.
“For helping me when I first came to Seoul, for sparring with me, for introducing me to your friends, for asking me to join the clan.”
It was just a sign of affection, and an action his heart told him to do.
But she remembered all those kindnesses deeply.
The Holder Arena is a popular sport.
Although it hasn’t landed in Korea or other countries yet due to issues with regulations and safety, it was a popular sport in America that sold out every game.
Of course, there were no seats left for today’s game either.
Not just premium seats, even regular seats were hard to get in reality.
“Money does come in handy.”
I smiled at Kim Chae-eun as I told her.
Scalping is legal in New York.
Anyway, we took our seats in the premium section closest to the arena.
Our hands were full of the Shake Shack burgers and snacks we bought earlier.
“This must be a magic barrier.”
“Yeah. They must have used a ton of magic stones to make this?”
The transparent wall separating the arena and the spectator seats was made of [Magic Barrier].
Since ordinary barriers could be penetrated by Holders’ abilities, it was composed of four layers of [Magic Barrier] overlapping.
Considering the size of the arena and the wide spectator seats, it seemed like they used quite a lot of magic stones for the barrier.
In other words, it means they poured an enormous amount of money into it.
‘...No wonder other countries can’t easily bring it in.’
A sport that requires massive funds just to set up the arena.
Unless a definite profit structure is established, it didn’t seem easy to bring it into other countries.
-Welcome to the New York Holder Arena, ladies and gentlemen!
As we were looking around the arena and waiting for a while, the announcer seated high in the center took the microphone.
-The 121st New York Holder Arena match will now begin! I’m sure you’ve all checked when entering, but please carefully review the precautions and lineup once again!
There wasn’t anything special about the precautions.
Points like be careful because weapons will be used and magic will appear.
Points like be cautious as blood might splash or injuries might occur sometimes.
Most of the precautions were for the consideration of ordinary spectators.
And the lineup.
“There are five teams?”
“Yeah. More than I expected. Maybe it’s because matches that end quickly end too fast?”
A total of five matches were prepared.
If we look only at their classes and grades, it’s like this:
Mage(B) vs Warrior(C) Mage(C) vs Mage(C) Assassin(C) vs Warrior(C) Archer(C) vs Archer(C) Warrior(B) vs Warrior(B)
Most matches were composed of C-grade Holders, with occasional B-grade Holders mixed in.
The lineup expected to be the highlight was obviously the fifth match.
A battle between B-grade warrior classes.
It seemed the organizers also knew this would be the most interesting, so they placed it as the last match.
-Now! Let me introduce the first match of the 121st New York Holder Arena competition. It’s a face-off between Caroline, a B-grade mage class Holder, and Henry, a C-grade warrior class! The match will start in 30 seconds!
As the announcer finished speaking, a 30-second countdown began on the central tower’s electronic display board.
The two introduced Holders were entering the arena.
Henry, a C-grade warrior class with a tall build and typical American appearance.
And...
‘...What’s this?’
Caroline, a B-grade mage class.
She clearly had Western features, but her body type, hair color, and subtle parts of her face were different from the typical American appearance.
But her appearance felt familiar somehow.
That’s definitely...
-The match begins!
