848 Clara, Ri and Madeleine 3 (2/2)

Of course, the elders were delighted by this challenge.

For one, they all thought that she would lose. After all, at that time, her soul had only been at the 6th stage, while his disciple's was at the 8th. This wasn't because of talent, but rather because his disciple was almost a thousand years old. Regardless, they thought that this would be a win.

Secondly, they were dissatisfied that such a genius had already given herself to another. Although marriage alliances were quite useless within The Sapientia Quadrant, who would like the idea of their goddess of a disciple marrying a mere mortal? So, they wanted to broaden her horizons, and show her what a true genius could do.

However, they were in for a rude awakening.

In order to be fair, they were both tasked with creating a master level pill.

When his disciple created one with 87% purity, they thought it was over. In fact, many more sympathetic elders implored her to stop pill-making as there was no point to continue. This was because such a purity level was usually only possible when one had become a comet level alchemist, those still at the master or grandmaster level would mostly be capped at the 60-70% level, and those would be geniuses among geniuses.

From what they knew, this girl was only focused on weapon's forging, the fact she knew any alchemy at all was already impressive, she didn't need to continue to push herself for a husband that likely didn't deserve her.

But, they had all forgotten one thing. With how overbearing this young woman was, with how absolutely arrogant and domineering she was, even in the face of them as elders, how could her husband possibly be normal? What kind of man did it take to subdue such an arrogant woman?

Once the young woman's delicate hand slapped the her cauldron, and the pill popped out, they all thought she had failed. They couldn't smell any scent from the pill at all, and could only sigh and try to console her.

But, that was when the arrogant young lady looked at them as though they were stupid and everyone focused their attention on the trembling young man that was her opponent.

She leisurely tossed the pill to him and walked back to weapon's pavilion, leaving behind only these words. ”My husband is the man who taught to me create pills, you aren't even worth the bottom of his shoes.”

When everyone turned their attention to the pill, they all trembled in shock. It was actually a pill with 100% purity!
