There was an electric thrill of wonder and newly found expectations in the Hotel's room where Kai and Meg had been staying since their arrival.
This thrill was more apparent on Meg's beautiful cheeks that kept gaining the color of her hair, a bewitching smile surfacing on her thin lips now and then like a spell.

"The 100 nations of the City of Leisure are grouped into 10 nations, making a Sector. The Auction is held by an independent organization, Seven Mystic Flowers, in all 10 sectors simultaneously.
"This organization has its roots on the 12th floor, and it has the backing of quite a few top organizations, including the Imperial House.

Still, it has a reputation of presenting Items, materials, and miscellaneous objects on the platforms that are unique considering the 2nd Set."
Kai's eyebrows pressed. "2nd Set?" he thought aloud. "Then the 5th and 6th floor's Contestants also show up in it"
