The Champion Alliance doesn't force tournament winners to participate; mages can defer participation to the next session, but... the simulation rewards are only for this session!
"Ah——"
Baimu was so angry that he shook the altered-color Gengar and Blissey back and forth fiercely.
The altered-color Gengar was startled by his furious appearance, extremely curious about who had provoked the Trainer. A book? Was it really that infuriating?
The latter calmed down slightly and gave an apologetic smile to the altered-color Gengar.
He finally understood that the Double Blue Talent performance is only fixed at the tournament-winning level.
Only with Orange Talent or even better talent can you receive better rewards.
Continue watching the simulation.
There are still things that bother Baimu that haven't been answered.
In the light screen.
The mage, with the help of Mismagius, smoothly stole the Holy Fire. Once back at the Magic School, she couldn't wait to start the official exam.
This time, she did not let herself down.
[You have passed the official exam and become a formal mage. From now on, no magic potion can be too difficult for you.]
[You begin to work on creating the Nirvana Potion. Upon hearing this news, the head teacher brought the principal to watch.]
Hmm... it seems that a formal mage is the top profession in Pokémon Magic.
No wonder it's so hard to pass the exam; apparently, there's no Great Mage or subsequent levels.
Baimu gazes at the skillful mage, with the narration indicating most of the raw materials for the Nirvana Potion are meant to increase stability.
What truly injects soul into the potion happens to be the Holy Fire, this core material.
Finally.
With the mage's efforts, a rainbow-colored magic potion was crafted.
[You successfully created the Nirvana Potion and eagerly used it on Mismagius——]
No reaction at all.
"As expected, huh."
Baimu sighed.
Humans turning into Ghost Attribute Pokémon after death is possible, but it has nothing to do with Mismagius.
[You cannot accept this result, believing that the formula was wrong; you start re-making the new Nirvana Potion——all of them failed]
[You rejected the principal and head teacher's advice]
The mage was heartbroken. How could she accept this result, with so many years of preparation since she was six now turned into bubbles.
No one can accept that.
The mage's Pokémon surrounded her, offering her spiritual comfort.
Although the narration kept giving these Pokémon the suffixes of raw materials and tools, it was clear that the mage treated them as partners.
Never neglecting any Pokémon.
[Helped by the consolation from the Pokémon, you gradually pulled yourself together; you think the problem might be with the substitute Holy Fire, maybe the Nirvana Potion requires Holy Ash instead of the Holy Fire, so you decide to travel again in pursuit of Ho-Oh's silhouette]
The scene freezes at the moment where the mage, with Mismagius, under the sunrise, embarks once more.
[Simulation ended]
Baimu dropped the book in his hand: "Heh..."
This seems to be the only Blue Talent simulation so far that achieved good grades but didn't fulfill the dream.
Others, be it chefs, calligraphers, musicians, etc., more or less showed signs of achieving goals.
The mage got the tournament-winning result but continued chasing the seemingly unbelievable dream of the Nirvana Potion.
Baimu couldn't help but take out his phone to search for past champions of the Silver Conference.
Soon, he found records of the mage's existence.
However, all he could find online were her competition videos, nothing more.
"She should still be alive, right?"
Baimu thought, since Elder Liu was still alive, the mage, who was ten years younger than him, definitely wasn't dead. So did she fulfill her wish?
There's no way to know.
He patted Gengar's head, changing his mindset to look at the rewards for this simulation.
