Chapter 314: The Tenth Participant's Prize
🕑 Added 2025-03-07 11:54:59 +0000 UTC"Rank 2! Kim Jisoo! From Year Three Class B!"
A girl with long green hair stepped forward, her green eyes wide with surprise. She did not expect to be in this rank.
Teacher Luna took a deep breath and then announced the last name.
"Rank 1! Haruto Sato! From Year Two Class A!"
The atmosphere in the stadium exploded.
Cheers erupted as the audience stood from their seats, loudly chanting Haruto's name. However, unlike the others, Haruto remained silent.
Haruto's expression did not change; his eyes remained calm like a wave-less ocean. His gaze briefly met Luna's before returning straight ahead.
Pricilla smiled.
The festival had just begun, and Haruto had shown that he was someone not to be underestimated.

"Alright, each participant will receive their prizes according to their ranks," Pricilla's voice echoed throughout the stadium, her tone calm yet authoritative. "Ranks ten to six will have the opportunity to choose ten rare materials from the Academy or receive five Level 2 Healing Potions!"
The previously calm atmosphere in the stadium immediately turned lively. Cheers and excited whispers began to be heard from the audience filling the seats around the arena.
"Wow! Really?! That's amazing!"
"Haha! I'm jealous! If only I had participated!"
"If the top ten are getting such great prizes, what about the top five?!"
Quick discussions spread among the students watching the event. Some of them looked excited, while others began to speculate about the prizes that would be given to those in higher ranks.
On the main stage, Pricilla stood gracefully alongside Luna. Pricilla's long hair shimmered under the sunlight, while her sharp eyes scanned all the participants standing in the middle of the field. Luna, on the other hand, stood still with a calm expression, her hands clasped in front of her body.
Celovik Betro, Yu Kai, Ling Yan, Sunwoo Baek, and Rina Miyamoto—the five participants in the top ten—reacted in different ways.
Celovik remained standing straight with a neutral expression, as if the prize was not something he needed to think too deeply about. Yu Kai, on the other hand, simply grinned casually, his eyes narrowed with confidence, as if to say that he didn’t care how big the prize was.
Ling Yan and Sunwoo Baek showed similar expressions—both slightly frowned, clearly not too satisfied with the prize they received. They stood with their arms crossed, their gazes fixed on Pricilla, as if waiting for the next announcement.
Meanwhile, Rina Miyamoto appeared the calmest among them. She showed no signs of disappointment or joy, simply standing with a straight posture and an expressionless face.
Pricilla spoke again, "For ranks five and four, you can choose fifteen rare plants from the City Academy, or receive five Level 2 Healing Potions and three Level 1 Strengthening Potions!"
Niko, who was in fifth place, nodded slightly. A thin smile formed on Niko's face, looking satisfied even though not overly surprised. Beside Niko, Sofia stood with a gentle and graceful expression. Sofia did not react much, only letting out a light sigh and accepting the decision without protest.
"For rank three!" Pricilla continued, her voice slightly rising to draw more attention. "You can choose twenty rare plants from the City Academy, as well as receive five Level 2 Healing Potions and five Level 1 Strengthening Potions!"
Asuka Endo's gaze, which was initially calm, now showed a hint of surprise. Asuka did not expect the third-place prize to be this good. However, as Pricilla was about to announce the prize for second place, Asuka's expression changed to annoyance, her brows furrowing.
