In the afternoon, the square in front of the Aozora Martial Arts Arena was already packed tight.
The ticketed audience ready to enter, the crowd that couldn't get tickets and could only wait for the free water screen projection, the scalpers moving through the gaps in the crowd selling scalped tickets, the Law Enforcement Team members with talisman badges and Elemental Magnetic Rods actively catching scalpers, and the vendors pushing snack carts selling food at ten times the price... All these people together turned the originally spacious area into a can filled to the brim.
A can full of enthusiasm and complaints.
"Oh my god, when is the opening ceremony going to start... I feel like I've been waiting for half a year already!"
"Can we just get inside first? We're about to be squashed here! We have first-class tickets; can't we enter first?"
"Damn, can money really do anything? Are our lower-class tickets just paper!?"
