Becoming the Judge

Some of the older middle-aged alchemists who planned to compete avoided direct eye contact with others as they felt embarrassed.

Being squeezed into the crowd, Michael heard the conversations of the people around him and learned a few things about Jennifer Voldigard. He once again turned his gaze to Jennifer, who was walking the steps with her guards. 

"Core Formation stage and three-star Alchemist level, not bad..." Michael thought to himself.

Her achievements were quite stunning to the others but not for Michael.

With the wealth of the royal family behind, as long as she possessed the basic talent needed to become an alchemist, they could use their wealth and resources to train her into a four or five-star alchemist with ease. Moreover, from the conversation he heard, Jennifer's talent for alchemy was quite good. Therefore, having such an achievement was within expectations.
