The Cornflower Witch

The college grand competition that had lasted for several days gradually came to a close. In the following days, Sylutia and Amelie sat in the viewing room to watch the final few matches, and then the celebration also drew to an end.

Across the various events of this college grand competition, the three strongest schools of the Alliance basically managed to clinch the top positions, while the other schools, though lagging far behind overall, still showed quite a few bright spots in certain individual categories.

After the competition ended, the winning apprentices took the stage once more to participate in the closing ceremony and group photos, followed by the various rewards officially issued by the Alliance.

The champions of the four sub-events, as well as the top three of the final combat grand match, could each choose an additional school for further study, along with rewards of rare resources and treasures.

"Hedra, this is the champion's prize for you." The Sage presenting the award handed a fire seed crystal resembling a crystal ball to the young woman.

Within the transparent crystal ball burned an inextinguishable snow-white flame, radiating a pure and cold brilliance.

【Moonlight Flame】(Sixth Tier·Perfect): A fire seed containing immense power, capable of driving large war machinery for combat, and able to slowly recover under moonlight, replenishing its energy to full.

Fire seeds of the Sixth Tier are extremely difficult to produce and are rarely seen in the outside world. Often, before they can even be produced, they are already reserved by various parties, and they belong to organizations rather than individuals.

For Sylutia to obtain such a fire seed while still at the Fourth Tier was quite rare. If installed in her residence at the 'Black Rose Palace', such a fire seed could support year-round lighting, water heating, protection, cleaning, bathing, and more, while also slowly recovering its charge on its own, eliminating any worry about depleting its energy.

Unlike low-tier disposable fire seeds, starting from the Fifth Tier, some fire seeds began to possess methods of recovery and recharging. As for Sixth Tier and above, virtually all of them had this function, just with different requirements for each.

The 'Moonlight Flame' in Sylutia's hand could slowly replenish its energy in places where moonlight gathered. As long as her daily consumption wasn't excessive and could keep pace with recovery, she could use it indefinitely. If installed into a 'Sixth Tier' war machine, it could also sustain operation for over half an hour.

Aside from this fire seed, she was also given five 'Fifth Tier·Rare' quality gems, which were essential for mages to use in enchanting and crafting high-grade creations.

After accepting the prize, Sylutia bowed in gratitude, then curiously glanced at the rewards of the champions from the other events not far away.

The champion's reward for the 'Alchemy' event was three portions of 'Sixth Tier·Rare' quality metal.

The champion's reward for the 'Pharmaceutical' event was likewise three portions of 'Sixth Tier·Rare' quality rare herbs.

The champion's reward for the 'Scroll Inscription' event was a bottle of 'Sixth Tier·Perfect' quality 'Spirit Light Ink'.

The champion's reward for the combat grand match was a 'Sixth Tier·Perfect' quality staff, 'Revelation of the Setting Sun'. The runner-up's reward was a 'Sixth Tier·Perfect' quality robe, 'Glory of the Pale Thunder'. The third-place reward was a 'Sixth Tier·Perfect' quality leather boots, 'Fall into Shadow'.

Looking at it all, these rewards were extremely generous. One must know that even some Sixth Tier master-level mages didn't necessarily possess equipment of 'Sixth Tier·Perfect' quality. Many masters went their entire lives with only two or three pieces of 'Sixth Tier·Rare' quality equipment.

The championship equipment obtained now could essentially last a lifetime, unless one advanced to Sage, in which case they might consider upgrading to stronger tools or equipment.

After the closing ceremony ended, Sylutia temporarily entrusted the fire seed she received to Sage Aitos, and then went to see Amelie, who was about to part ways.

Now that the celebration was over, she would have to return to living in the library. Thinking of this, Amelie felt quite reluctant in her heart. As she waved goodbye to Sylutia, a mist of tears gathered in her eyes. However, she held them back and didn't act willfully, only asking Aitos when she might be able to come out for a walk again.

"Don't worry, the time will come soon. Once Hedra finishes resolving the matters in Mishil District, she'll come to visit you often." Aitos comforted her this way, reigniting a spark of hope and anticipation in Amelie's heart.

"Mhm." She agreed softly, then looked at Sylutia across from her and raised her finger.

At this, Sylutia also nodded and made a gesture of agreement across the distance, reassuring her.

Amelie's mood finally settled, and she followed Aitos away.

Afterward, Sylutia returned to Tetis College. She first participated in the college's end-of-term assessment, where the professors examined her learning progress over the past year, and then explained the difficult questions she had accumulated.

After completing these, several weeks had passed, and it was time for Sylutia to return to Mishil District.

"Hedra, this is the spatial item you wrote about last time, saying you wished to commission." Professor Shoren walked over, wearing a pair of glasses with a refined and scholarly demeanor.

With that, he handed a box to Sylutia. The young woman curiously opened it and saw a hairpin adorned with seven white flowers resting inside.

【Seven Blossoms Hairpin】(Sixth Tier·Superior): A floral-style spatial item crafted from seven rare gems paired with Aisetis silver. It can open seven storage spaces of different sizes, and by relying on the coordinated rhythms of the seven gems, it can stabilize spatial fluctuations in the surroundings, resisting attacks that tear space or skills that traverse space. (Storage Space +14, Spatial Stability +5)

Seven distinctly petaled white flowers adorned the hairpin. Each of these white flowers had five petals, but the colors on the inner sides of the petals differed from one another, graduating through light green, light yellow, bright yellow, light brown, and orange-red. Their shape and appearance resembled that of 'shiny-leaf yellowhorn flowers'. Set together, the gems within the petals shimmered with specks of light, complementing each other beautifully.

"This... this is too precious."

Sylutia was astonished. She had indeed wanted a new spatial storage item, but she never imagined Professor Shoren would expend so much thought and effort to craft one for her. One had to know that the difficulty of crafting spatial items was often the highest among items of the same tier. It required several times the effort and dedication to complete, and any slight misstep along the way could result in the loss of crafting materials. As a result, the price of spatial items always remained high, and few could afford to purchase them.

The value of this hairpin was probably even more precious than the reward she had received for winning the championship. Moreover, judging by its appearance, this item must have been started before she returned for the college grand competition, not hastily rushed to completion.

Seeing Sylutia somewhat overwhelmed by the gift, Professor Shoren pushed up his glasses and spoke in a gentle tone to reassure her.

"It's fine, just accept it." After saying this, he revealed a smile and placed the box in Sylutia's hands.

Filled with immense gratitude, Sylutia held the box and bowed in thanks.

"Thank you, Instructor Shoren."

A warm current surged through her heart along with deep emotion. She really had received so much love from so many people; sometimes she didn't even know how to repay it all.
