Wizard: Starting With Synthesized Gems-Chapter 254: Receiving the Outstanding Therapist Nomination

Locke looked at the reason for his victory, his expression becoming strange. "This work's original ranking was only considered to be listed as sixth or seventh, because although this work is outstanding, the participating wizard was not familiar with the various scoring details of this competition, resulting in suffering hidden losses on many small details."
"But later, something happened that changed the competition committee's evaluation of this work. A formal wizard used this magical plant as a substitute when making Minor Viridian Potion and participating in a formal wizard-level advanced potion master competition. Its effect was unexpectedly enhanced by at least two times or more, and it possessed broad-spectrum resistance characteristics against curses. Because of this, he won first place in that association-level potion competition."
"Minor Viridian Potion is a common general antidote for curse magic. The effect of replacing ordinary jade lichen with Jade Iris Lichen was so strong that it's hard to believe such a work didn't come from some formal wizard's project team, but from an ordinary formal breeder. Perhaps he also has a mysterious team behind him."
"Creating super geniuses is always our wizard world's favorite thing to do."
"This competition's judging panel therefore changed its evaluation of this work and immediately raised its evaluation to first place that same day. Honestly speaking, the achievements obtained by this participating work are visible to the naked eye and no longer need this competition to provide a stage for its performance. Its practical significance can no longer be compared to a mere competition."
"Past first place winners in competitions pale in comparison to it. Therefore, not giving this work first place would be completely unjustifiable."
Along with the envelope came a certification badge with a golden border featuring a wheat grain pattern design. The golden wheat grain badge was the pattern of the breeder certification badge, and this certification badge also had the number 1 on it, with the White Wizard Association's badge and the competition committee's special badge beside the 1.
This was a badge representing tremendous honor.
This badge represented that Locke had won the championship in a southeastern quadrant-level competition, defeating all formal breeders at the first-class wizard apprentice level!
At the same time, the competition champion also received a direct reward of 10,000 magic stones, a bottle of Hive Mind Potion, and an expensive formal breeder equipment piece, the Vacuum Creation Device.
And all of these should be delivered in the next few days.
Thus, the two competition championships brought Locke direct rewards of 13,000 magic stones, a large-scale academy procurement contract of enormous value, and a large number of other rewards.
Most importantly, Locke hadn't expected that the Hive Mind Potion he wanted to obtain would actually be awarded to him along with winning the association-level competition championship.
With the Hive Mind Potion, raising his mana to 800 would be even simpler. That was a First Circle potion-level medicinal agent!
"Double champion, truly excellent." Locke said. He heard someone knocking on the door, walked over, and opened it, only to find Andrew outside.
Locke asked puzzledly, "Andrew, is there something?"
Andrew handed a document to Locke, saying happily, "Locke, do you know? This year's Outstanding Therapist nomination from the Healing Hand Treatment Center has been announced. It's been set as you."
Locke was stunned.
Andrew said with pleasant surprise, "Congratulations, you can get 1,000 magic stones and Hive Mind Potion now, Locke."
He said with a joyful tone, "Well, the academy's upper echelon also allocated an Excellent Therapist nomination to me and Axi. Axi gave that nomination to me."
"This way, of the four nominations, Anglon Workshop only got one Excellent Therapist nomination. Another nomination was given to a non-team individual potion master assistant, and we got all the remaining nominations."
Andrew said with satisfaction, "You didn't see how terrible Anglon's expression was today. Hahahaha..."
"Congratulations, Locke."
Locke hadn't expected that in one day, he would receive three honors. This way he would have two bottles of Hive Mind Potion and directly obtain 14,000 magic stones.
Just winning these three honors brought him tremendous rewards, allowing him to directly become wealthy.
Of course, these three honors were truly difficult to obtain. Ordinary individuals would be unlikely to obtain any one of them.
Andrew looked at Locke strangely. "Locke, what's wrong with you? You don't look very excited?"
Locke thought, 'In one day, I consecutively received three honors. This probably isn't a coincidence. I'm afraid the academy's upper echelon, after seeing me consecutively win two championships, immediately made a biased choice and gave me the Outstanding Therapist nomination.'
'This is somewhat similar to creating a deity. Especially since I participated in the operation to kill a formal wizard in Blood Curse Court's heartland during wartime, and during the war, obtained the nickname "Eye Demon" in black wizard territory.'
'Presumably, the academy wants to shape me into some kind of war hero figure. But it doesn't matter. After all, I've long been targeted by Blood Curse Court's formal wizards. As soon as I leave, I'll definitely be surrounded and killed.'
Locke explained calmly to Andrew, "Well, I won't be too excited because the results of two competitions came out, and I'm the champion of both."
Andrew was stunned, then looked at the two ranking lists Locke had placed on the table. For a moment, even his breathing stopped briefly.
"The results... came out?"
"You're the champion of both competitions? My God, double champion. You've already made a big name in the field of breeding studies. Now probably all the breeders in the entire southeastern quadrant will have heard your great name more or less."
The look in Andrew's eyes toward Locke changed from the previous admiration to worship that was about to overflow. He had subconsciously started treating Locke as a higher-level wizard.
"Locke... you're really too amazing. No wonder the academy's upper echelon gave you the Outstanding Therapist nomination this year, even though that Anglon published a series of A-grade articles recently."
"I don't know what's been going on with him lately. He actually published 10 A-grade articles within five months."
Locke frowned. Under normal circumstances, the speed of publishing articles couldn't be this fast. Judging from Anglon’s past publication speed, it was especially abnormal.
There must be a problem here but forget it. This had little to do with him. As long as he could do his own thing well, other people had nothing to do with him.
Locke asked, "However, this year's chief apprentice and Rising Star of Potion Studies have been announced, right?"
Andrew seemed more gossipy than Locke. He immediately said, "Of course, Locke. This year our academy's chief apprentice is Senior Albert, and the Rising Star of Potion Studies is also Senior Albert."
"Oh right, the Starshine Apprentice is also Senior Albert. Because Senior Albert is nice and approachable, everyone usually likes him a lot. He never puts on airs toward us ordinary first-class wizard apprentices. So this time, no matter how Anglon courted everyone, the first-class wizard apprentices who were willing to vote still voted for Senior Albert."
Locke hadn't expected that this year's chief apprentice and Rising Star of Potion Studies were both Albert.
Andrew said, "Senior Albert was able to be rated chief apprentice apparently because three months ago he obtained a large amount of Tartarus Cave Worm Spinal Fluid. He currently seems to be only one step away from becoming a formal wizard."
"Secondly, Senior Albert developed a Troll Excitement Gland Potion in the last six months. I heard that potion's practical combat effect is very strong and very useful even in wizard warfare, so he was rated this year's Rising Star of Potion Studies."
After listening, Locke nodded slightly. Indeed, Troll Excitement Gland Potion was very useful in combat.
If not for being during the wizard war period, Anglon's behavior of consecutively publishing 10 A-grade articles would definitely have won him the title of Rising Star of Potion Studies.
But unfortunately, now was the wizard war period, and during war, more practical results were definitely more solid than however many A-grade articles.
Andrew suddenly changed the topic. "By the way, do you know who this year's Rising Star of Breeding Studies is?"
Locke guessed, "Is it that Mary?"
Andrew shook his head slightly, then looked straight at Locke.
Locke's heart skipped a beat. No way.
Wait, this was also normal. He had won two competition championships related to magical plants this year. This could indeed greatly boost his performance score in the comprehensive field of breeding studies. Then this year's Rising Star of Breeding Studies being him was very normal.
Lilith's Cottage's breeding studies itself was somewhat weaker than potion studies, so the only person who could compete with him was Mary.
