As the news spread, Froya, Skord, Yvonne, and the other classmates and fellow tower residents around Roland erupted with excitement.
Ever since Roland published "Arcana," many people had imagined that this day would come sooner or later.
None of them had expected it to come so soon.
Senior students, both those he knew and those he did not, sent him letters of congratulations. Even high-ranking wizards like Swein, who spent years away, turned their attention back to the tower.
Meanwhile, inside Lunifis's residence in the Yther Wizard Tower...
A voluptuous, mature beauty reclined on a sumptuous couch, her graceful figure brimming with alluring charm.
Lunifis gathered up her waist-length hair. It was still a little damp, and the wooden rack behind her supported it, spreading it out like silk.
The flames in the magical fireplace sent warm air flowing through the room.
While waiting for her hair to dry, Lunifis cast "Projection" and checked her mail.
Ding! Your little darling Roland has sent you a new message.
"Nisi, I've been nominated for the Morningstar Award!"
Surprise appeared on Lunifis's gorgeous face. Then her eyes narrowed slightly, and she let out an inexplicable cry.
"Oh, God of Wisdom! Is this one of your beloved children?"
An excited flush rose to her cheeks, as though the news had stirred something within her.
"Congratulations! Your big sister is so happy for you!"
As she replied, she recited an incantation: "!"
Level-0 spell: "Mage Hand."
An invisible force lifted a nearby alchemy item, a Magic Camera, into the air. Click.
"A reward for you-an exclusive treat!"
Elsewhere, Roland opened the message and was immediately greeted by a picture of a freshly bathed beauty, like something out of a classical oil painting. It felt as though a carriage wheel had run right over the bridge
