The city lord didn't tell them everything, Ren knew that much.
Of course, he was aware that this was going to happen. The canon was still following the timeline he knew as best as it could, even with the alterations.
The City vs. City Tournament is where the real party starts.
260 geniuses participating in a grand brawl to see who's the best? Sounds like a party, alright. One that's right up to Ren's alley.
That's a lot of people with something to prove. And just like what the City Lord said, everybody will be representing not only their respective families but also their home cities, so the stakes are definitely higher.
What the city lord didn't tell them was that the royal court and the imperial court will be closely watching this too. Of course, the GMU will also be there.
The material rewards will come from them. As for the mysterious and conceptual rewards, because yes, there will be some, those will come from the World System.
