Chapter 432 Rainbow Amethyst Candy
The freshman competition came to a close, and it was almost dusk. At this time, the professor distributed the winners' prizes to everyone.
The first place winner, Sylvia, received a large jar of candy, including 108 'Tier 2 Excellent' quality 'Rainbow Amethyst Candies'.
The second-place winner, Spencer, received a small jar of 'Rainbow Amethyst Candies', containing 54 candies.
The third place winner, Xavier, received 27 'Rainbow Amethyst Candies' as a reward.
The fourth and fifth place winners will receive 18 stars.
The reward for sixth to ninth place is 10 stars, and the reward for tenth to seventeenth place is 5 stars.
【Rainbow Amethyst Candy】(Tier 2); Candy resembling pale amethyst, it refracts various lusters under sunlight. Under the influence of other elements, it can quickly transform itself into a secondary candy of that element, used to replenish energy, cast spells, and as an ingredient in alchemy, but it cannot be used for rituals or advancement-related secret arts.
'This is a product of a bet won by the Fairy Phoenix and a group of fairy lords during the Fifth Era. The Celestials allowed her to create this all-purpose candy as compensation for pranks played on other beings, but it was agreed that the candy could not be used on important occasions and that its power could not exceed the second tier. Afterwards, this type of candy became the common currency among lower-ranking fairies.'
Although the Law Dragons replaced the Fairy Lords as the world's main celestial beings during the Sixth Era, they did not deny the reward products agreed upon between these celestial beings. Instead, they were inspired by this and created new rare items.
It is a symbol of worldly wealth and the favorite of all dragons. The brilliant crystal coins forged with dragon flames are also called 'Dragon Coins' by later beings. It is said that every ritual to summon a dragon requires 'Dragon Coins' as the main ritual material, and the number of 'Dragon Coins' a dragon possesses determines its identity and status.
As the sun set, Siltiya accepted the jar of candy from the professor, her eyes filled with curiosity.
The first prize was candy, the currency used among fairies. But it probably wasn't obtained from fairies. It's likely that the mages developed a method for making this kind of candy in recent years and distributed the surplus as a reward to the students.
Although it is very versatile, its rank cannot exceed the second tier. Once it is transformed, its quality will drop by one level. If it is used to create high-quality products, it will drag down the overall quality. Therefore, the positioning of this type of candy is sometimes rather awkward.
Indeed, it has the style and temperament of a fairy. It's interesting and fun, but sometimes it's not very useful. Just like the blessing on Hilti, although she cherishes and likes it, for most superhumans who pursue power and becoming stronger, it's just about maintaining youth and age, which is a waste of such a precious blessing opportunity.
After expressing their gratitude, everyone returned to the restaurant for a free meal. In the evening, the restaurant was no longer just for freshmen; many other upperclassmen could be seen there.
Compared to most freshmen who are still at the second level, the senior students here are generally at the third level or above, and the fourth level often appears. Occasionally, you can even see the fifth-level elite members who have graduated. To them, these second-level freshmen who come in to eat chatting and laughing are not much different from kindergarten children.
"A freshman?"
"Yes, it's the start of a new semester again. I can't believe how fast time flies."
"I wonder if any interesting people will emerge from this year's freshmen."
The older students glanced at the group of freshmen who were gathered together and having a lively discussion, marveling at their youthful energy, while some complained that they were noisy.
"Just bear with it, their good days are numbered, haha. In another year or two, they'll be spending every day in the lab and library, stretching one day into two." But these words were completely ignored by the freshmen, who were still full of ambition and excitement about starting university.
At the large dining table, Hilti once again sat at the head of the table, surrounded by a group of students. Many new students took the initiative to come up to her, introduce themselves, express their admiration, and explain their strengths and advantages, hoping to gain the girl's recognition and attention.
Of course, some students are bound to be a bit arrogant. Although they admire Hilti's strength, their pride will not allow them to greet her in such a fawning way. They just hope that after entering Tethys Academy, they can grow rapidly here, catch up with this chief student, and make her look at them with new eyes.
"Does Your Excellency drink? I'd like to have a drink with you."
"I don't drink alcohol." Hiltiya only drinks a little low-alcohol fruit wine occasionally.
"Oh, this."
In this world, alcohol is not labeled as harmful to health. All the powerful and extraordinary people take pride in drinking. After all, being able to drink alcohol indicates a certain status, and the quality of alcohol is often a symbol of one's social standing.
Hiltia prefers sweet fruit juice and has never been a fan of alcohol, only occasionally drinking a little when friends get together. But today is different. If she agrees, many people will probably come over to toast her or start a conversation, so she simply says that she doesn't drink.
"Give me a glass of chilled raspberry sparkling water," Hilutia ordered another drink from the waiter.
Sparkling water is a new type of drink available only in the Mage Alliance, and most of its fans are young people.
Seeing that Hilti was holding a light red, bubbly drink, the other students wanted to try it too, and many of them followed suit. As a result, the sparkling water, which was not usually consumed by many people, was sold out in the restaurant that night.
At dinner, Hilti was always the focus of everyone's attention. Almost every bite she took was watched. In this situation, many details of her movements were magnified and observed. Fortunately, Hilti's etiquette and posture, which she had cultivated since childhood, had become ingrained in her subconscious habits, and she did not show any inelegance. In fact, her occasional girlish little gestures captivated many people.
After dinner, everyone finally dispersed, and Hilti returned to her residence, the 'Black Rose Palace'. The streetlights in front of the cottage were already lit, and a few fireflies were dancing in the garden in front of it, with insects chirping among the grass.
She looked at the house in front of her. The environment was quiet but not deserted. If she continued along the road for more than a hundred meters, she would see the residences of other teachers. If she walked further, she would see the student apartments where many freshmen lived. Each of them had their own room.
"It's a nice quiet spot amidst the hustle and bustle," Hilti thought, thanking the academy teacher for the arrangement. Then she took out her key, opened the door, and went home.
She placed the full jar of candy on the bedside table in her bedroom, then lay down on the bed, feeling a little tired. She closed her eyes, took a short nap for a few minutes, and then opened them to take a shower.
The first day of school at Thetis Academy was spent in an unforgettable way, and the name "Hedera" spread at an astonishing speed.
Perhaps soon, wherever Hilti goes, people will recognize her distinctive black hair and her almost flawless face and figure.
The legends surrounding her have gradually evolved into two completely different versions: one describes her as a gentle and charming 'Black Rose Palace Fairy', while the other describes her as a proud 'Black Griffin' that is not to be trifled with'.
