“That’s a total of 120, huh?”
After asking Yena, a total of 120 mana condensates have been created.
This should be enough as a starting point, right?
[1200 ㄷㄷ]
[So, who gets it?]
[120 out of 110,000 is a bit intense, though ;;]
[5500 to 1 ㄷㄷ]
[Can anyone even receive this? ㅋㅋㅋㅋ]
[It’s probably gonna be ridiculously expensive]
[Expecting a spike in market access ㅋㅋ]
“Oh, just to let you know, the condensates I send can only be used by the recipient, so if you sell them, other people won’t be able to use them.”
To be precise, I’m planning to make it so only the person with that nickname can use the condensates through Deoen’s postal system.
This magic formula can’t be broken just by unraveling the mana’s arrangement; if it’s broken, one would have to create a new magic formula and insert it…
‘If that’s the case, then they deserve to be here.’
It would be amusing if there were at least one person like that.
[?]
[Really?]
[A]
[So, that’s just pure luck then]
[Yeah~ Just having what Lily gave it makes it worth it~]
[Even if it can’t be used, it’s gonna sell for an absurd price]
[ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ]
“Are you giving me one too?”
“Of course. Yena, you can take one.”
“Yay~”
Yena jumps up from her seat and excitedly grabs a condensate.
She then sticks her tongue out at the camera, and the chat window is already in an uproar.
“But Yena, you have to succeed within a week, or… you might not be able to attend the next class?”
“Huh? How is that fair!”
“Right here.”
Isn’t it strange that everyone else has passed but Yena is getting special treatment?
Of course, I personally believe Yena will definitely succeed.
[Yena thought it would be easy, but it’s gonna be a total disaster ㅋㅋㅋㅋ]
[Ah, ㅋㅋ you helped but if she fails, she can’t come in]
[ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ]
“I believe in you.”
“… Don’t believe too much.”
“It’s not that hard, so you can take your time. Either way, it doesn’t really differ if you do it here or watch the broadcast.”
Just because someone gets in here doesn’t mean they get special guidance or anything.
It’s just that moving on to advanced classes is more effective when interacting in person rather than through a screen.
If the level is mediocre, there’s not much difference between the broadcast and this place.
“Now, let me tell you about the lottery method.”
[Oh]
[Finally]
[Are you giving it to me?]
Flutter.
“First of all, this is a gift for those who have supported and liked my broadcasts, so I plan to mainly distribute them to those who watch often.”
“I’m thinking of distributing it mainly to you guys.”
[That’s obvious]
[Shut that down]
[Are there really people who don’t watch Lily’s broadcasts?]
[For real, lol]
[Those who didn’t watch Lily’s first broadcast should be filtered out]
[Hahaha]
[Agreed, agreed, agreed]
A bird in the air spreads its wings.
Within it are written two sentences.
“Watch the live broadcast for over 30 hours.”
“Or donate over 10,000 won.”
[What?]
[Money-crazed Lily, lololol]
[Donation…?]
[10,000 won isn’t cheap; the minimum unit is 10,000 won]
[So donations are a requirement…?]
[Open the donation tab!]
[Open it quickly; I need to put it in right now]
[Hahaha]
[Ah, should have put it in earlier]
[Make 100,000 won from 10,000 won. It’s a good deal, right?]
[Thank goodness it’s not 100,000 won, lol]
[Shouldn’t complain about not being in the top 1% of donors, haha]
“The conditions are this much. I’ll be drawing a total of 119 people from among you and sending them through Deoen’s mailbox. Please note that only those linked with Deoen and Tich will be sent, so set that up in advance.”
■
“Is that done?”
“It’s not done.”
“I didn’t get it either.”
Isn’t there anyone who got it?
Black, sitting in the Castle of the Black Moon, asked the guild members watching Lily’s broadcast if they were satisfied with the conditions.
But cruelly, no one had won.
If even one had, they could at least figure out how it worked.
“Should we try looking for it at the exchange?”
“Didn’t we say it’s meaningless?”
“Still, you never know. Lily is unique, but we do have mages in the guild.”
Maybe we can figure it out somehow?
When a ranger guild member who shot arrows asked, Black shook his head.
“No way. That’s just crazy; if it can’t be done, it can’t be done.”
“Is it that serious? You may have lost, but you didn’t use any unique legendary items or mythical gear.”
“……”
That’s true.
He hadn’t used mythical gear or the legendary hidden piece obtained through the initial rewards.
That was just common sense, and he didn’t regret it.
Using such items would have naturally tilted the balance of the duel, and he knew he would win easily.
‘…That’s insane. Totally insane.’
But after experiencing it firsthand, his thoughts changed.
The finesse and movement in handling weapons. The understanding of techniques and remarkable reflexes.
Finally, the ability to copy the opponent’s techniques.
Even if he had used mythical gear, if the specs were the same, the outcome of the match might have changed, but the result would have remained the same.
This is certain.
“I can’t win that. And I have a feeling they didn’t even give it their all.”
“Really? Is it that bad?”
“Yeah.”
“Um… how about asking Lady Lily if she can give you one? We can supply the mana stones from our side.”
We’re on the same team anyway.
“…Well, just in case, see if anyone has one. I’ll make some contacts separately.”
“Okay.”

“This is the condensed stone…”
Leo, sitting in a room decorated with elaborate crafts, rolled the condensed stone across the table.
How did he get it, you ask? It was Leo who provided the training venue to Lily and Yena.
While Yena was looking for mana stones, Leo heard about it while managing the mana mine, and offered the place as a reward for his knightly duties.
Though Lily refused, saying she would rather pay, Leo insisted that a refusal is a refusal, and that if he needed help later, he’d appreciate her assistance then.
And thus, he received the condensed stone after the classes.
“Umm…”
It definitely feels a little different from the basic mana stone.
How should he say it… It feels a bit different from the mana stones he usually touches, and the internal shape is slightly different too.
It feels like a definite craft that has passed through someone’s hands.
Leo got up from his seat and headed toward the Marquis family’s training grounds.
The Marquis’s people greeted him as he arrived.
He ignored them, told them to leave, and called out to someone in the empty training ground.
“Thunder.”
Fizzle.
A sparrow wrapped in lightning appeared, perched atop Leo’s delicate hand.
The spirit Thunder, with striking yellow lightning.
Thunder tilted its head.
“Make it zappy.”
“Bee?”
“Please.”
At Leo’s earnest request, Thunder shot him a glare for a moment before landing on his head.
Then, the power of lightning rooted itself within Leo’s body.
“Ugh!”
Kwaaaa!!
In an instant, the yellow bridge among the four on Leo’s head began to glow, and his hair started to turn yellow.
His senses sharpen and his vision broadens.
Ah…
He always feels this way, but this Spirit Ascension really is a strange sensation.
Not human, not nymph, not even spirit.
It feels like he himself is becoming ambiguous.
“Alright then.”
With a crackling hand, Leo grabbed the condensed stone.
The power of lightning, brimming within him, stimulated the condensed stone, while simultaneously, the condensed stone stimulated Leo’s mana.
Bzzzzzt!!
“What, something’s there…”
There’s definitely something.
It’s not the usual feel of the mana stone.
It feels like something deeper is hidden within.
Yellow lightning swirls around her, as cracks begin to form in the striking blue arrangement of mana.
For a moment, something flashes through Leo’s mind.
Somewhere with a landscape similar to Deoen’s.
Countless noble-like students and the lush mana stone laid before them.
And in front of it, a white entity exuding pure white mana…
“…Huh?”
Pshhhhh… Thud, thud thud.
The condensed stone emitted smoke and fell to the ground.
At the same time, the exhausted Thunder released Spirit Ascension and collapsed flat on the floor.
Leo, dazed, rushed to pick up Thunder and stared at the grey-colored condensed stone.
‘What did I just see?’
■
“? Someone already did it.”
I finished the broadcast and started handing out the condensed stones to the people.
Perhaps through a raffle, some were happy while others screamed or were tormented.
But it’s not possible to give it to everyone.
The mana stones will be distributed bit by bit as they are obtained.
“Let’s see… Oh. It’s Lord Leo.”
Thanks to Leo’s help in easily transporting the mana stones,
I decided to send him the condensed stones, not through a lottery, but as a gift.
Of course, his skill is impressive, but being a Spirit Master, he is familiar with mana, so I expected him to do it easily…
‘I didn’t think he would accomplish it in less than 3 hours.’
At this rate, he might have done it on the first try.
He probably achieved it through Spirit Ascension.
It may seem a bit like cheating, but since there were no restrictions on the technique, there’s no problem.
Spirit Ascension is also part of his abilities.
‘…There shouldn’t be any errors, right?’
Even though the transmission of mana or the uniqueness of specific individuals might complicate things, I created the arrangement of this condensed stone almost identical to the academy’s array method.
There were indeed errors where something strange would appear if the arrangement was severely damaged…
‘Well, it should be fine.’
