And just like that—
"Nan Bei is unable to continue! Winner—Gu Jin!"
Silence.
And then thunderous applause.
The entire arena erupted.
Even the professors stood up.
"She advanced to the top 5 just like that?"
"What the heck! Remembering how she never moved in any of the matches, I am impressed."
"Bro, she is a monster! Can you believe it? She is an alchemist genius, but also a powerful mage. What do we call people like her? One in a lifetime mage!"
"It is confirmed! She is my idol!"
"Mine too!"
"Queen behavior, seriously."
"I feel bad for all those who mocked her before. She's terrifying in the best way!"
The cheering didn't stop.
Some students even began chanting her name.
"Gu Jin! Gu Jin! Gu Jin!"
Gu Jin stood still, expression calm.
She didn't smile.
But deep inside, she acknowledged it.
Suddenly, a loud bell echoed through the stadium, followed by the announcement mage's voice.
"Attention, students and guests!"
The crowd quieted down immediately.
