(Planet Tithia, Sir Lewis Hamilton Arena, 4 Hours Before The Fight)
The gates to the colossal Sir Lewis Hamilton Arena finally swung open, a full four hours ahead of the much-anticipated fight, as the first eager wave of ticket holders began pouring in, only to find themselves greeted not by music or fanfare, but by the cold, unflinching vigilance of the Cult's elite security forces.
Each spectator was brought to a halt and subjected to a thorough pat-down, scanned meticulously with mana detectors, and questioned with a level of intensity more suited to a war zone than a live event.
Carry bags were emptied, storage rings examined with scrutiny, and no exception was made for anyone—regardless of their appearance, age, or social standing.
From a curious toddler barely four years old to a frail man well into his nineties, everyone was checked with the same exacting standards.
This intense security protocol did not stop at the front gates either.
