This was a genuine admiration for Link Grande's talent in Potion Study and a true belief that Link Grande was worth cultivating. It was also a sincere recognition that Jasmine Kidman had some excellent qualities. Only then did the Serene Wizard offer some advice.
For an average person, let along offering guidance, there was not even a brief farewell party.
"Without further words, I wish you all the brightest future!"
The Serene Wizard sipped from her cup, ending this brief but heartfelt farewell party.

Heading north or east, driving themselves or taking the subway, each went their separate ways.
Such is life - meetings are frequent, partings are few.
"Is it over just like that?"
Upon returning to the academy in silence, Jasmine finally sighed, "It feels like the first day of work happened just yesterday."
"Yes, it's over just like that."
