(C) The Vault

Many of the first-year students were celebrating their completion of the finals, and the entire academy was abuzz with energy. Leon, feeling a mixture of pride and anticipation, departed from his group of friends and made his way to the Headmistress' Office.

Each year, the freshman who came in first place received a special prize from Headmistress Agatha's vault. Agatha had been an unparalleled genius in her youth, becoming a prominent figure in the Adventurer's Guild and earning a reputation across Gran Terra. Her vault was legendary, filled with thousands of relics and artifacts that had gone unused for years.

Leon knocked on the door, and Agatha's voice called out for him to enter. He stepped inside, finding her seated behind an ornate desk, her eyes twinkling with pride.

"Congratulations once more, Leon," she said, standing up to greet him. "Your performance in the finals was outstanding. You have truly earned this reward."
