Colin felt somewhat uncomfortable receiving this honor that he didn't truly deserve.
However, when Nois on the other side looked at Colin's calm face, he inexplicably felt some guilt.
In his view, Colin's expression was calm, but it seemed to reveal a sense of loss of honor between his brows.
Unfortunately, this was indeed an order issued by the Supreme Council, and he had no power to change it.
"This is for you," Nois thought for a moment, suddenly took out the Memory Crystal he had just obtained, engraved the improved Deep Red Marking Technique on it, and handed it to Colin, "Don't tell anyone."
Colin reached out and took it.
"Work hard in your practice," Nois smiled, his figure disappearing in an instant.
In the pitch-black night, he looked back at the blond young man and silently sighed,
"At the mountain's peak, a pole's footprint... Only a few Wizards can reach the top."
...
Time flew by.
A week had passed since Colin returned to Neustadt City.
