Tiara, the capital city of the world, is where the minor noble house of the Crowned Jewel operates and the place that houses all the administrative buildings, wealthy individuals, training centers, etc.

    Just as with the floating islands above several towns, this city, too, had a large floating island above the outskirts of the city. However, apart from its size, there is also something else.

    Rather than saying that it is a floating island, one could say that it is a floating city.

    A large stadium with high seating capacity, some mansions belonged to the noble house and their relatives, The Tower of Spire, the hall of judgment, Sentinel force HQ (police), all of such buildings were built on top of this giant floating city protected by a giant barrier, which prevents unauthorized entrances.

    Azzy could only stare at it as he passed by the island, going to the main city to stay there.

    While the medallion would give him free accommodation in the city, he doesn''t want to stay in a hotel or so-called Stay facility, which sounded so tacky for Azzy but anyway, he doesn''t want to stay in such places for the next two and a half months. Moreover, he has enough savings.

    Hence, he decided to look for a rental house. But, for the current day, he checked into a decent hotel instead of trying his luck with luxury hotels. In the end, he got a room for free and checked in for the night.

    The next day morning, Azzy went into the city, where everyone seemed to be either flying or walking. There are absolutely no other ways of transportation in this place.

    Azzy could only turn mosquito-sized as he explored the city, searching for any to-let boards in residential areas. There are no rental agencies here.

    After two hours of extensive searching without any results, Azzy landed on the tallest building he could find and sat down on the edge of its terrace, looking down at the city. "Sigh... I wonder how Rynmere managed to find such a good house last time. I kinda miss him now. I wonder what he is doing right now... Hmm?" Suddenly, he sensed a presence approaching him and he turned around.

    An angel with silvery feathered wings was seen flying above, reaching the terrace and landing nearby.

    She was quite tall, although mainly attributed to her long legs. Her face was also small and cute to look at, but one thing that surprised Azzy was her soul realm. She appeared to be a teenager, about 14-15, well, atleast on the outside, but her soul realm was already at the peak stage of the 7-star rank.

    Azzy continued to sit at the edge and patted the floor beside him, gesturing her to sit.

    She went to him and sat down without feeling any suspicion or so whatever, although maintained a few feet of distance.

    As their eyes met, Azzy spoke, "Let''s say I''m a passerby. What about you? Do you have any story?"

    "Hmm..." Her eyes glowed a bit, intending to probe his soul realm once again but she couldn''t find anything this time too. In the end, she gave it up and simply introduced herself, "I''m Nyra, a Knight of the House of Celestial Flame."

    "House of Celestial Flame? What''s a person like you doing in this city?" He asked.

    She let out a deep sigh in response and explained while looking down at the city, "Actually, I just came from a mission and wanted to take a vacation, but my mother forced me to come here. My mother is from the House of Crowned Jewel, you know. She is the tournament organizer this time. She only told me to stand by her side, but after coming here, she appointed me as her stand-in as the city administrator. There is too much paperwork. I mean, I''m only 17, you know. I... What?"

    She suddenly paused, letting out frustration, as she heard a chuckle escape from underneath his mask. He subtly shook his head, "Nothing. You seem really stressed. Do you know the best way to release it?"

    "How?"

    Azzy answered, "Have a pure physical spar until your stamina is out."

    "A pure physical sparring?"

    Azzy gave a subtle and got up, "Want to give it a try?"

    "Hmm?"
