Severin beamed as he collected the pills. It had been half a year since he inherited the knowledge from the Grandiuno Sect's former leader at the Alchemy Tower. At long last, he could finally revel in excitement as he finally became a seventh-grade alchemist!
The entire sect boasted only one seventh-grade alchemist, and that was Daniella, the Sixth Mountain's peak master and the Alchemy Chamber's elder. That alone showed just how much prestige a seventh-grade alchemist held.
Severin calmed his excitement and descended back down to the island's courtyard. Diane's twinkling voice greeted him as she said, "Congratulations on becoming a seventh-grade alchemist, Severin!"
Gilda, Sheila, and Sofia gathered around him too.
"See! I knew you could do it, Severin!" Gilda exclaimed with pride and tenderness in her eyes.
Sheila and Sofia smiled too, and they both had a hint of admiration in their eyes. Though they were well aware of Severin's exceptional talent, it was still no less surprising to learn of his rise to seventh-grade. Such a feat was beyond their wildest dreams. After all, were it that easy to accomplish, Daniella would not have been the sole seventh-grade alchemist.
Wuhlricht and Felipe approached him with beaming smiles.
"Your talent is alchemy is simply astonishing. It's only been a few months, and yet you're already on such a level." Felipe chuckled and stroked his beard.
