The final matches of the day came to an end not long after.
The sun had already begun to set below the horizon, leaving the sky in shades of orange and red.
One by one, the crowds started leaving the arena, their voices still filled with excitement as they talked about the fights they had witnessed.
Theo remained seated for a moment longer, his gaze drifting across the field.
'Day one… done,' he thought quietly.
Beside him, Owen stretched his arms with a satisfied sigh.
"Man," he said, cracking his neck. "That summoner girl…"
Theo didn't even look at him.
"I swear," he continued, shaking his head. "That combo? The harpy for sound and that long-tailed thing for control and defense? That's pretty insane."
Theo stood up slowly.
"Mm."
Owen glanced at him, clearly expecting more of a reaction.
"…That's all you've got?" he asked.
Theo pressed his lips together, nodding slowly.
