A few days after the Demonstration Defense. The research lab of the School of Magical Surveying, on the 31st floor of the Magic Tower. Anna hugged her bachelor's degree certificate and exclaimed.
"I can stay here now, too!"
My sister's gaze was fixed directly on me.
"Congratulations."
"You finally did it!"
Clap, clap, clap! The sound of applause erupted.
"Congratulations, Anna! That was really cool!"
Stephanie, Anna's classmate, shouted in a high-pitched voice. Her other friends also gathered around Anna and offered their congratulations.
"Congratulations, Lady Anna. Your skills were truly remarkable."
Gwendolyn also approached Anna with an elegant smile. Behind her, people from the Magic Tower, including Liam, Elara, Professor Gedrick, and Sir Valerius, were lined up. Head of the Doloren school was grinning and eating cake, while Senior Giuseppe's eyes welled up with emotion.
"My junior's sister is becoming part of our family... Now the lab will finally feel like a place where people live." ...
Senior, are the school head and I not people? It wasn't just people from the Magic Tower. The core members of the Upperhills Group had all gathered as well.
"Congratulations, kid. You were pretty good."
