A Small Reprieve

"Guess we'll have to wait and see." Letting out a bit of laughter, Valyr grinned at Hal as he responded, signaling the start of their break as the four recuperated all of the energy they had wasted during their fights.

Though he was the first one to fight in the tournament and had expended a great amount of his mana and stamina during his fight, Faulus took the initiative to speed up their recovery, taking out a cauldron from a spatial bracelet attached to his waist before putting it down a considerable distance away from the crater.

Seeing as Faulus had retrieved a few sets of alchemical materials from his bracelet not long after, Valyr decided to leave the young man be for the meantime, reminding himself that immense concentration was needed for one to successfully concoct something through alchemy.

With that, he decided to head to where Loreina sat for the meantime as the young woman's personality during the fight remained vivid in his mind.
