When Shane was done providing a detailed analysis, he looked around to find the same silence greeting him as before. This made him feel odd because the entire arena had been listening to him in rapt attention and nobody made a sound. Had it been humans instead of the Elementals listening to him, they would have brawled, caused an uproar, or had given him some reaction other than the stony silence that he received right now.
As such, he stepped back awkwardly before Empress Idral told him that his evaluation was great.
Meanwhile, the Emperor stepped forward as he asked the audience at large,
"Our guest's evaluation was spot-on and I wouldn't be able to do it better...Is there anyone who has a different opinion with regards to any of the stated facts? I only want to hear genuine opinions and I won't punish anyone for speaking their mind! However, it has to be well thought of and I don't want to listen to excuses!!"
