[Mia's POV: ] (Unfinished! Please wait!)
It has been a while since I got my title and they announced the winners of that round of the competition. And, yes we got through this one.
'Huuuuu…'
It was difficult.
I was exhausted in those last monts. I won't even know how I was able to handle myself back then.
'Perhaps the heavens blessed with greater strength or perhaps soone watching us right now prayed for us. Whatever it was, we managed to make it successfully.
And the loudest cheers that erupted after the entitlent finished, resonated with all our hearts.
'A thrilling feeling it was, certainly.'
I can hear them saying our nas, my na. And they were cheering for , clapping, screaming at the rear sight they got to see.
'It was magical for …'
And I can tell for certain that it was a magical experience for the audience as well.
'The last ti soone beca a master in this arena was around the ti I was three years old or sothing. So around eighteen years ago or sothing?'
Captain and vice captain, most of the students with as a matter of fact hadn't even been born back then.
There were many young people watching right now so this was their first ti seeing sothing so magical, sothing that they could only read in books or see in photos.
And for the older ones who had seen this kind of spectacle before as well, this was nostalgic for them.
They were joyous when we were announced to have passed the fifth round.
And of course, we were as well…
The announcents and cheers were well received, the joy was celebrated, and the atmosphere was flowery now.
Even on the ground where only the last round participants had redied, there was a unique festive atmosphere.
'My house mbers including were being approached by the people that others spent a fortune or a long ti to get an appointnt with.'
So of the masters and other who had been impressed by the techniques and skills of my housemates even invited them to an individual eting. Most probably to talk about an apprenticeship or to work alongside them.
These house mbers of mine had a special set of skills that would be coveted by any alchemist who understood their worth and their potential so, miss Grandbell, Sir Fang and Kuro and even Ball, especially Ball, were surrounded by those old n who were asking them for a eting.
'They saw the value of their skills and they knew since their skills were still in the developnt stages and they could improve them better than what they could do on their own in the academy.'
They understood the value of youth the most, so if not right now, even if they had to wait till we graduate, they were ready to do it later if it ant they could have them, and their talents.
They knew just how special these guys were… but the fact that the one who showed them the true values of their skills was our vice captain would not change in any circumstances.
'They were surrounded by them even right now. And, it was fine since this is break ti. They have worked hard, so they definitely deserve a break.'
And I would have been the sa if it had not been for the entitlent process, but after I received the title, all my fatigue was gone and I was back to the top physical condition.
For a matter of fact, I was feeling better than ever before. And thanks to the title I just received, I could now use my unique skill even more proficiently.
Or at least, that was the feeling I was getting when focusing deep inside of .
'I would have to test my skills to see just how much I have improved-'
"Excuse ? Miss Mia Silver?"
"Hmm?"
I was lost in my own thoughts as I sat in a corner, away from all the commotion going on right now.
And since it was a little unnoticeable place, thought I wouldn't be approached by anyone.
However, it looks like I was wrong this ti.
"Yes? How my I help you miss…"
"Oh! Apologies. Where are my manners."
Soone spotted even in this shadowy place and it was the person I was expecting to greet the least.
"I greet thee, the new master of Alchemy, master Mia, the alchemist of Silver.
I'm called Ëthereal. And it is a pleasure to be the first person to greet the newest master alchemist of this world."
Her greeting was… quite sincere. And she was as elegant with her way of bowing and showing her genuine curiosity towards as a high class noble or royal lady.
I would even say it was comparable to so pillars of high society.
She was unexpectedly good…
"The pleasure is all mine, Miss Ëthereal. And it is actually an honour to be greeted by the toughest opponent standing in our way to victory.
Personally, I respect you miss Ëthereal.
And it's not only because of the talent you have shown in this competition until now, but also because you are perhaps the only person that shows how big of a difference between a prodigy and a true genuine actually is in this field.
You are simply amazing."
She was soone that started this competition with crown prince Charles. However, starting the second day's third round, the two of them continued individually.
And, when they did, people started seeing just how truly amazing this person before actually was.
'Not only her thods were unconventionally genius, the way she always created her works was just too gorgeous for one to ignore.'
I was amazed the first ti I saw her creation process videos playbacks yesterday, and I was amazed until I saw both rounds six tis straight before suddenly falling asleep.
She… was a gale of freedom. The way she enjoyed creating her own versions of simple yet utterly stunning things, doing so foolery while doing so, laughing and enjoying herself was sothing too captivating for .
Unexpectedly so as well.
It was just too fun.
'And I wished to beco like her. Daring, free, unfazed even before the toughest of challenges.'
She was perhaps the very trigger that gave the inspiration to create the Powder of innate growth.
"Huhuhu. You sure are a funny girl to say good and bad things together like that."
She was laughing, and even that was attractive.
'A perfect laugh that hides the true emotions of one so well even the best experts would get fooled by it.
She's just too good with all that she does.'

They have been gone for a while now. What might be so urgent that Master Grandalff had to escort him to the headmaster's office himself?
"They are in trouble, aren't they?"
They are always doing dangerous things and they were gone for three whole months. Of course they were in trouble right now. They are so careless!
"I don't think they would be in any kind of trouble, Agnes."
We all were in our usual benches by a tree in the garden as Princess Cathy patted my back and reassured with a positive voice. And, I looked up at her.
"But… but you know how they are… how they are so careless and-"
"It will be fine, Miss Agnes. I think so as well. And I can say for certain it isn't about their absence for three months. if it were the case, the headmaster would have reacted the ti they returned and were in the middle of the entire ceremony that happened earlier."
"Right.
They were asked to et him in his office after they received their present from the wish granting tree. Those three unique looking cards."
"Yes! It must be because of that!"
Mister Ragasage's words made sense, and seeing how even Prince Morexis agreed with him, it must be the case this ti.
Yes…
The two of them shouldn't be in that big of a trouble.
And it's not like they did sothing to the wish granting tree so what they got was not their doing either.
'Yes…'
It was a coincidence, a chance that they got those things and it was not their fault. Which ans they should just be talking with the headmaster about sothing important. Perhaps sothing related to the things that they did when they were gone.
"Yes…"
They said they were going on a very important business trip, didn't they?
Sothing related to the adventurer's association's request about a dungeon or sothing?
[[ Master~. They went to a dinsional dungeon~!" ]]
Right. That. I almost forgot the word they used for that place.
'A dinsional dungeon…'
And El ntioned it was a dungeon where ti flowed differently and the reason they were so late was just because the ti difference was like that.
That was the reason they were late, and they had finished whatever they had went there for, so they had co back fine as well.
Yes. That's right.
They ca back. And that's all that matters.
'And they aren't hurt anywhere either.'
If anything, they are healthier than they used to be the last ti I had seen them. Which was good as well.
'They didn't do anything too foolish and were able to get done with whatever they had gone there for, and since they were back now, we all can go back to our usual ways now.'
And El ntioned it was a dungeon where ti flowed differently and the reason they were so late was just because the ti difference was like that.
