Ron was a bit surprised: "How did you know..."
"Hehe... I've been in this marketplace for quite some years; I'm quite familiar with the school's processes."
As she spoke, she took a crystal bottle out of a locked drawer: "I'll return this to you first."
Ron took the crystal bottle and recognized it as the bottle of Artificial Star Dew that Holt had given him.
"Remember? I promised you I'd temporarily keep it safe for you and return it once you passed the apprentice qualification test."
Lady Allen said, a touch of sternness melting into something akin to a senior's comfort towards a junior: "Now that you've broken through, it rightfully belongs back in your hands."
"I almost forgot about that promise." Ron honestly admitted, "Thank you for safeguarding it, madam."
"And this." Lady Allen handed him a letter with a peculiar seal: "Present this recommendation letter to the personnel during your initial resource distribution application."
