Emery nearly forgot about the prestigious instructor reward.
Every year, the academy selects one of its most exemplary instructors for a special honor—the Myriad Spring Lotus Fruit. These fruits, which only grow once a year, are highly coveted treasures typically reserved for the academy's top Grand Magus instructors, such as the three guardians of the academy, someone like the Star Tower Lord. Even instructors from the highest-grade factions rarely dare to covet such a prize.
Grand Magus Aurora approached with a slender tube filled with crystal-clear water. Inside the tube floated the Myriad Spring Lotus Fruit, a bell-shaped, smooth blue fruit that gleamed with a mesmerizing light. The way it floated delicately within the water, radiating a soft glow, made it almost seem ethereal.
"Congratulations," Aurora said once more as she handed the tube to Emery.
