Corrin was just getting situated in his room when a voice came to him through some sort of hidden speaker.
"Visitor for Corrin at the Fire Emblem foyer."
Corrin quickly got up and left to see what it was. Upon arriving at the top of the staircase he arrived to see a man with sandy blonde hair dressed predominately in green sitting on a plush purple sofa in the foyer below him.
"Hello, you're the one that's here for me?" Corrin asked as he descended the stairs.
"Oh yes, you and your sister." He responded as he looked over at Corrin. "You must be Corrin. I am Link." He said and offered no handshake like the others did. "There she is." He said as Kamui appeared and descended the staircase.
"Corrin do you know who this is? This is Link, possibly the most famous fighter on the entire roster!" Kamui burst into joy upon making his acquaintance.
"She's not wrong, you know." Link said to Corrin. "So now that your both here, my job is to just make sure you know where some of the important places are in this city, so you can get to them whenever the need arises." He stood and began to lead them out of the building back into the grassy common area. "Your fellow Smashers will reside in this assortment of building gathered here that we call The Central Court, or just The Court for short."
"Where do you live?" Kamui asked him as soon as he closed his mouth.
Link pointed towards a relatively small cabin almost across from the Fire Emblem castle. "I live there with Zelda, someone who's apparently also me but different, we call him Took Link, and this jerk named Ganondorf we don't really interact with much. He's tried to kill us before." Link said in a monotone voice. "There's a room for a fighter named Sheik but we've never seen him here, so it's a bit unusual in our cabin."
"Cool!" Kamui didn't relent. "Why is the cabin named after Zelda?"
"We all wonder the same thing." Link responded.
"Are you and Zelda still dating?"
"I wouldn't ask that." And so the slew of questions continued as Corrin remained silent.
"And this here is the Mess Hall. Link interrupted Kamui in the middle of a question as he led them to a grand Greek looking pavilion. "But we actually call it the food court so the...less intelligent Smashers don't get the wrong idea." Link said in a quieter voice. "But Master Hand wants us to call it the mess hall because he thinks it sounds more official."
"Do we eat here every day?" Corrin asked for his first question.
"No, only on special occasions. You two were the last of the newcomers, and we hold a pretty great feast to celebrate when the tournaments get modified and allegedly improved every few years. That will be tonight at 8." Link explained more patiently to him. "Now you know where this is, good that, I'm going to take you to the center of our purpose here."
They walked in silence for a bit, Kamui slightly red from embarrassment, and they arrived at a large coliseum.
"This is the place we go whenever battles are to happen." They stepped into the entrance to the coliseum and beheld a lake with a small island in the middle, with wooden bridges connecting it to to sides. A glowing circle with a blue tint was in the middle of the island.
"That portal takes you to the arena you are fighting at. You all know we have various locations that we compete at, most very far from here. This portal will take you to them."
Corrin nodded his understanding and Kamui was visibly restraining another inquiry.
"I am to explain the basics of the system here. We all participate in scheduled battles, generally during midday, in which the stages are decided for us and we compete for a ranking, for an income of the coins we use as currency here in smash city, and for glory. Hence the aptly fitting name, For Glory battles." Link explained rather proudly. "If you are not scheduled to battle, you can still come, and choose the stage of your choice to battle anyone who is willing to come with you. These do not earn you money, at least not endorsed by Master Hand or the others in charge. These are the aptly named For Fun battles." Link explained this part a little less proudly. As he finished, the portal flashed, and Luigi was ejected from the portal. A large display of the ongoing battle now between Ike, Pikachu, and Villager was now being projected onto the opposite surface as they fought aboard a series of planes over a beach resort.
"Luigi just lost his last stock." Link explained. "So he gets sent back here. He can choose to watch or just leave as he sees fit." Luigi left the arena in disgust as Link said these words.
"So this is the most important place, there's a few others you should maybe know about later, but I can show you tomorrow." Link said to them. "You are free to explore the city or relax in your rooms as you see fit." Link quickly exited the arena as he eyed Kamui.
"He doesn't like me, does he?" Kamui became downcast as soon as Link left their sight.
"He'll learn to, my dear sister." Corrin said as he watched the battle. "Let's explore this city and see who else we can meet." He said and they left the arena.
