Fane's eyes widened. What surprised him was the fact that there was nothing in the pill aura room at all; it was just a completely empty room.
Before, the darkness had always covered everything, but this time, the darkness dispersed and left nothing behind.
Thankfully, the space was large enough. Even after the vice-treasurer asked all of them inside, it did not feel crowded at all. All of them stood in the pill aura room, and the dense smell of the pill aura assaulted their noses, encompassing them all.
Fane raised an eyebrow curiously. He wondered why the place was covered in darkness if it was so empty. It felt like they were hiding something.
At the start, Fane never felt anything about it because he did not understand enough to notice anything strange. After looking at it, Fane started to have doubts.
Alas, he was unable to investigate anything even if he wanted to. All he could do was stand quietly by the side, making sure to not suppress all of his questions. He would solve them one by one eventually.
The vice-treasurer turned toward everyone. "The same conditions apply. Whoever manages to condense three hundred pill runes will gain the right to be a
disciple in the Middle Province Alchemist Alliance."
Everyone got a little excited when they heard the vicetreasurer's words. They all started to look at Gilbert and Andrew.
They had already heard from the vice-treasurer that Gilbert and Andrew had already learned the Way of the Pill, and a long time ago at that.
Condensing a few hundred pill aura runes should be doable for them. The biggest hope for the students around was to learn the Way of the Vermillion Fire Pill and become a sixth-grade alchemist.
Hilarious, those kinds of people were. They insisted on using such empty methods to make themselves look better, but it was completely useless.
Looking at Gilbert walking up front toward the east, Andrew smirked, unable to water down the disdain in his eyes. To Andrew, Gilbert looked like a clown walking toward the stage.
Gilbert stopped, and Andrew walked to the east as well, standing about a meter away from him. After the two of them stopped, everyone held their breath, except for Fane.
The competition would determine who the strongest was outside of the eldest disciple. In the Hestia Continent, there was competition everywhere. Even the smallest circles had people fighting to stand on top.
Every fight would cause immense excitement. Even though the others were doing their best to hide the excitement in their hearts, it was still obvious from their shining eyes that they looked forward to the fight.
