A heavy sigh came from Meteora as a slump followed.
"Alright, I'm moving." Meteora replied, standing up and quickly making the trip to the stage.
*Maybe the quicker I get there, the sooner this embarrassment will be over and I can sleep.*
Meteora thought while walking up to the ramp and looking Tori in the eyes.
Whispers followed Meteora the whole way. Most were curious as to what the student known as the 'Laziest Practical' did to be recognized.
Of course, that did not include the twelve sets of eyes that followed every step.
*Man... at least cook me some food with how hot the stares are.*
Meteora thought before stopping in front of Tori.
Tori cleared her throat pointedly, quickly quelling any conversations as she refixed her gaze on Meteora. "For you resilience against your mana sickness and finding a way to revolutionize Aetherium as we know it and discover new species of animal in the process." Tori says clear and proud for all to hear. "Lady Taurus has decided to give you this artifact. It is one hundred percent pure Aetherium ore smelted into a piece of enchanted jewelry, this is why it is black." Tori holds her hand out to reveal a small piece of jewelry that was a glittering onyx or obsidian in color.
Chaos erupts the from the twelve that had gotten the Astra-boons, jealousy evident about the artifact Meteora was just about to receive.
The narrative has been illicitly obtained; should you discover it on Amazon, report the violation.
"This is Aetherium that Meteora cultivated on his own." Tori interjects, quickly shutting up everyone while Meteora reached for the artifact. "It is enchanted with a dimension space with land. That way you always have the perfect napping spot."
Meteora took a shaky breath at her words. A lump in his throat full of emotion.
"I-I... accept.. this gift from you and Lady Taurus, Tori" He carefully replied while reaching out to take the artifact.
Mere millimeters away from touching the piece, all eleven astra-boon holders boo'd and demanded a compensation for the slight of Meteora receiving such a precious gift.
At the same time, Meteora's system chimed with multiple notifications.
|Viable land compatible with Idler and Farm Sim genres has been detected.|
|Mana Berry Tree has finally matured and been planted in dimensional plot!|
|Mana Berry Tree has evolved due to the concentration of mana being supplemented into it these past thirteen years!|
|Mana Berry Tree has now evolved into Persimmon Tree of Idunn!|
|First Harvest is ready!|
|Natural Aetherium Growth template has been found!|
|Reward for finding a way to make the inorganic be organic through Idler means! - New Incubator for crystal growth!|
|Crystal Incubator is awaiting Seed!|
Meteora blinked while holding a hand out in habit as a blue persimmon appeared in his hand. Eating it quickly in routine.
The moment he sank his teeth into the fruit, he felt a wave of relief as what felt like a fog lift from his mind, becoming clearer and sharper while the block in hiding his true AZC and primary genre lifted.
At this exact moment, a booming voice in joyous emotion cried out.
"I knew it!"
The unexpected voice rang through the field, making Tori spin to look behind her and look up.
"Onee-san!?"
