“Ian Percus, third-year of the Knight Division!”

At President Delemore’s call, the eyes of the dignitaries focused on Ian. Even amongst that silent crowd, a few gazes stood out.

The Saintess, the ‘Queen of the Ball’, and even the most gifted student amongst the first-year Magic Department students, the Imperial Princess.

All eyes were on Ian, but the expected roar of applause was nowhere to be heard despite the corpse of a great demonic beast lying in front of them. Only silence ensued as the audience witnessed the unimaginably terrible condition of the champion’s body.

For a man who had accomplished such a feat, neither applause nor cheers felt sufficient. Instead, it seemed more apt to simply express awe at his strength and will.

“Step forward on behalf of your party”

With that, the man quietly stood before President Delemore, and President Delemore handed him a fine plaque alongside a small box.

“Your prize, four vials of the Imperial Family’s arcane elixir, Dragon’s Blood!”

Gasps traveled from within the crowd.

An elixir capable of instantly increasing one’s magic power was already a very expensive item on its own, especially so if it were the Imperial Family’s arcane elixir. One could only imagine just how precious it was.

It was proof that the Imperial Family paid a lot of attention to the Academy. Each elixir was worth thousands of gold coins and they had given enough for every member of the team.

“In addition, I grant you the right to dispose of the beast’s corpse however you want.”

While shaking hands, President Delemore spoke with a kind smile. Meanwhile, the onlookers began to stare at Ian in anticipation.

After all, it was a demonic beast of a massive scale. People couldn’t help but wonder just how much it would sell for.
