The audience was quiet even after the match ended. No cheers. Instead, there was some sort of, evaluation meeting? about the match.
"What say you about that initial explosion? The firepower looked to be on par yet the water spell was far more complex."
"If we're talking about complexity, countering that with water magic is clearly harder. Nobody can win against Jido-sama's firepower indeed."
"What about that subsequent lightning spell? It seemed as if he took that blow head-on?"
"No, the challenger was clearly superior in reaction speed on that. The way he swiftly attacked back was superb."
"That may be true if we're discussing solely on reaction speed, but don't you think he was being to hasty? Couldn't he have waited for another clash at least?"
"He was at disadvantage in clashes between spells. He must have realized that. Opting for that ice spell followed by the next plan was his best course of option, I reckon."
"There was no way he could have predicted his attack would be met with a magma spell. What if that card wasn't on the table?"
"That's unrealistic, no? Stopping that mass of ice with magic is more ideal than dodging. Jido-sama could get himself injured if he failed to evade. Even if he didn't, he would leave himself full of opening for magic attack during the maneuver."
"So he picked that size of an ice block to deter evasion. That was his only chance to victory."
"Mana depletion huh. I suppose a spell that big must cost him a lot... Then this result is proof of the challenger's lack of strength."
"Still, where did Jido-sama learn such intricate staff moves? Speaking of which, nobody saw him for quite some time until this day."
"He must have been training in secret. I mean, Jido-sama's frustrated look when he lost to Balgaranda was known far and wide, no? He must be tempering his physical ability for their next match."
Uh, Balga? How did you even win? I kinda want to hear more now.
I just can't imagine Balga and his burly melee-oriented physique engaged in such a flashy magic battle.
"Ah, figured it would be super showy~ But I can never get used to this mood~."
Selram verbally gave her impression. I agree. The contrast between the flashy match and this quiet review meeting between the audience feels gross.
"Victory would be hard fought if I were to fight him with a bow. The chances are not nil however. But his moves at the end was a surprise. He should much more formidable now than when magic was his only tenure."

Kyaro gave a high valuation.
"Well I'll be, Old Jido sure hates losing. Can't believe he'd go and get his physique forged at his age. He's really strong, in mind and body."
Balga smiled wryly as he said that.
Guess I should gave my impression too?
"That was hard on the ears. That booming sound came out of the left field. Almost made me question like, were they trying to vent their stress as flashily as possible? They got this refreshed look at the end too."
Hahah. Fufufu. Balga and Selram laughed hearing my impression.
Thus ended this dense day where I watched two matches back to back.
"Let's go see old Jido."
Looks like this dense day is still going.
