Although the influence of the God of Mage has faded in Brakada, and the remaining influence is only concentrated within the magic guild, this influence affects all the magicians. Someone with a higher status in the guild.
Mages in the academy can improve their own strength in various ways. Whether it is the use of powerful potions or driven golem puppets, these are all ways to improve the strength of the mages in the academy.
In the magic guild, what mages value is their true spell-casting ability. Mages who belong to the magic guild can only use some treasures at most, and do not value other ways to improve their strength.
The mages who belong to the magic guild insist on the original form of the wizard and do not approve of the methods of improving strength in the academy. On this point, the magic guild has always had a big difference with the magic academy.
Many mages who hold high positions in the magic guild agree with this point. Even within the magic guild, those mages who studied in the magic academy and eventually left and chose to join the magic guild will be greatly ostracized if they do not change the habits in the academy.
And this is what Eric is worried about. Due to the existence of the Magic Guild, the development of potions science has been extremely smooth even up to the current position. Even the potion competition was proposed through the Magic Guild, but Eric had some worries in his heart.
In Brakada, although the number of magic academies is relatively large, and the number of internal magicians far exceeds that of the magic guild, at the level of top magicians, it is completely incomparable to the magic guild. This is also The reason why the Magic Guild has been able to manage the entire Bracada.
Compared with the completely different improvement method in the magic academy, even if there are no golems and puppets and no magic is used, the mages in the magic guild can focus more on their own spell-casting abilities, thereby achieving substantial improvement.
Although this is difficult for the mages in the academy to understand, it does happen to the mages in the magic guild. Because of this, the mages in the academy also regard the magic guild as a position that can bring improvement to themselves. Many of them Mages will choose to leave the academy and join the magic guild.
The reason why Eric specifically said these words about the development of potions before confirming the winner of the potions competition was because he wanted to convey this information to the magic guild, hoping that potions could develop smoothly.
Rhodes on the side listened to Eric's words and naturally understood what he meant. Without his past life experience, Rhodes could only think that Eric was worrying pointlessly. But at this time, Rhodes could roughly guess that Eric had foreseen something.
Rhodes noticed that while saying these words, Eric spent most of the time looking in some directions on the airship. Following Eric's gaze, Rhodes discovered a high platform on the airship.
Through the Eagle Eye technique he mastered, Rhodes was able to notice that there were many mages on this high platform, and they all seemed to be looking in this direction at this time. However, Rhodes could not observe the more detailed situation clearly.
Recalling what Eric said, Rhodes also roughly guessed the identity of the mage on this high platform. After understanding this, Rhodes withdrew his gaze.
At this time, after describing the future development of potions, Eric also announced the second place winner in this potion competition.
"...After discussions with the magicians responsible for rating the potions, the runner-up in this potion competition belongs to a highly respected mage. After hearing the type, I believe many mages have guessed his identity."
"In this potion competition, the perfect potion he refined has an extremely powerful effect. It can greatly improve the basic attributes of living things, and can also bring about an improvement in physical attributes."
"Perfect potion is also an extremely important branch of potion science. I believe that any mage who has personally experienced the effect of perfect potion will praise the powerful effect of this potion."
"The refining of the perfect potion is extremely complicated, and the most critical one is the selection of the core part of the perfect potion. The fact that this mage was able to overcome these difficulties and refine the perfect potion in the finals is enough to prove his strength. "
"This mage is from the dean of the Red Magic Academy, Noson. Congratulations to this mage."
According to Eric, the mage who won second place in the potion competition was the mage next to Rhodes.
After getting this result, even if he failed in the final process and did not win the potion competition, the mage did not feel any regrets.
For ordinary people, if they fail at this juncture and end up with only second place in the potion competition, seemingly only one step away from the championship, they will extremely regret this result and even refuse to accept it. a little.
But these emotions of ordinary people were not reflected in this mage at all. After learning that he was the runner-up in this potion competition, the mage accepted it calmly, and after the result appeared, he moved towards The mages watching the game performed some courtesy to express their gratitude.
In terms of identity, compared to other mages, this mage naturally has an advantage. As the dean of the academy, he does not have to be too optimistic about the rewards provided in the finals like ordinary mages.
For such a mage, because of his status as the dean of the academy, he can find a way to obtain even the most precious treasure.
In this mage's view, participating in the Potions Competition is to test one's level of practice in Potions. Regarding other matters, whether it is the rewards provided in the Potions Competition, or other influences The improvement in strength seems insignificant.
Even if it is an ordinary thing that is extremely precious to other mages, it is not very attractive to this mage, so he can accept this result calmly.
Now, in the entire field, only the last player, Rhodes, has not received his own rating.
But in this case, except for Rhodes, all the mages have obtained their own rankings, and Rhodes' ranking is naturally clear at a glance. All the mages who are paying attention to the potion competition have already realized in their hearts that in this potion season, Rhodes' ranking belongs to him.
