Camilla was so excited that she urged her fellow companions on, "Let's hurry up and tell everyone! I'm sure a lot of people would want to witness this too."
A joyful procession of female alchemists hurriedly exited the room. Even those who had yet to finish selecting their materials left, for they decided that the demonstration was far more important.
Theodore chuckled when only Severin and himself were left. He remarked, "Such demonstrations are unheard of here, so you can imagine how excited they are that you were willing to demonstrate your abilities publicly. Most of the third-grade or fourth-grade alchemists tend to be stringy, and any first or second-grade alchemists will never be able to get them to make such a demonstration. They had the courage to request that from you because you're very approachable."
Severin grinned and replied, "I'm all for it. They're my fellow alchemists anyway, and it'll benefit the sect in the end if everyone can enhance their skills. Knowledge must be freely shared. We shouldn't be reluctant to do so on the pretext that other people might steal our knowledge from us."
After a brief pause, Severin continued, "Besides, it's not easy for anyone to catch up to you if you continue to strive for improvement."
Theodore was impressed by Severin's principles.
