Though Valyr knew he was already catching some of the crowd's attention by the time the second round ended, that attention immediately skyrocketed the moment he went all out against his opponent in the third round.
"A monstrous talent!" screamed an old man in a red robe as he stood up, his eyes gleaming as he focused more of his attention on the five suns Valyr conjured. "He's definitely a monstrous talent in the making!"
"Throughout the three decades I've served as the head of the Blazing Arcanist Alliance, never have I seen someone so loved by the concept of flames!"
"P-Please calm yourself, Guild Leader," replied the young man by his side, his face a deep cherry red from the secondhand embarrassment he felt. "C-Can't you see how many people are looking at you right now?"
In response to that question, it was only then did the old man take a look at his surroundings, eventually realizing what kind of situation he'd gotten himself into.
