About alchemy competition

[Eon's POV: ]

Everyone was feeling a weird mix of emotions since the last house winning first place in not one competition but all three years was a big thing all in itself from their perspective. 

My words certainly sparked a light in their hearts but there were still few people who did not have that much confidence in themselves to accept everything that I said.

'It wasn't even like they did not believe in the potential of the house of me, but, they just weren't sure about this whole thing individually since the public opinions have conditioned their mindset over the years.'

Our house was bad-mouthed on a very, very large scale for realistically no reason. 

It wasn't like we were some trash or defective pieces that were thrown into some certain trash bean. This very house used to dominate the entirety of the island back in the day.
