The crowd reacted immediately.
Some got up to buy drinks and snacks, others went to place new bets for the next round.
But most just stayed in their seats, talking excitedly about what they'd just seen.
Theo glanced back at Iris, smiling warmly.
"Shall we go back now?"
Iris nodded immediately.
"Yeah."
Without lingering any longer, the two of them turned and began walking towards their individual exits.
Only once they'd passed through the large doors did the noise finally begin to dull.
Theo let out a deep breath, rubbing his temples as he stared at the ground.
'So I can use a big Silver Core spell and a few Bronze Core spells,' he thought, feeling his core ache. 'That's my absolute limit.'
'Now, I wonder how much that limit will increase with my next breakthrough…'
Normal people would be able to use up to three to four times their previous mana. But how much stronger his would be was a complete mystery.
Theo shook his head, pushing the thoughts out of his mind.
