บท 1948: Final Product

The grandmaster's reminder of the dwindling time hung heavily in the air, intensifying the focus and urgency among the participants. As the four contenders poured their maximum concentration into the final stages of their creations, spectators watched with rapt attention, eager to witness the culmination of their efforts.

Notably, Winri's cauldron became a focal point, capturing the room's complete attention. It burned intensely, emitting significant heat and smoke. A collective gasp swept through the spectators, causing some participants to instinctively retreat a few steps, concerned about a possible explosion.

"She's at her limit!" shouted one of the participants, observing Winri's visible strain as she sweated and panted heavily. It became apparent that being at realm 9 was insufficient for the demanding process of creating such high-tier potions. However, defying expectations, Winri resolutely consumed a pill to replenish her energy.
