Aaron was ready to issue the F-grade Chemist certification badges. Tyrion, along with the other apprentices who had passed the examination, were already confirmed as Chemists on the internet, having received an electronic Chemist certificate.
As such, this issuing of the badge and Chemist suit was just for ceremonial purposes. As he had lost the bet, Donnie was actually running naked! In light of this, Aaron obviously had no plans to wait for Donnie to return!
“We aren’t going to waste time waiting for him. His badge and Chemist suit will be given to him later,” Aaron calmly said, “Now, you will be awarded with the F-grade Chemist badge and the Chemist suit.”
Tyrion and the rest all lined up on the podium. Their badges and Chemist suits were all ready and waiting for them.
Ding!
Just then, Aaron received a call, which he immediately answered. Not long afterward, he exclaimed, “President Gaffrite is personally coming to present the badges and the Chemist suits!”
“Why does he have to come in person to present the F-grade Chemist certification?” one of the new recruits piped up. All of the new Chemists were similarly stunned and curious.
After all, it was a great honor for President Gaffrite to personally present them with the Chemist badge and Chemist suit. In the past, the F-grade Chemist certification ceremony was usually conducted by a maximum of three F-grade Chemists. If it happened to be a special ceremony, there would be an E-grade Chemist as the host.
The president of the this branch was a C-grade Chemist and had a lofty status. In fact, within the surrounding ten thousand miles and the ten surrounding cities, he was a considered a first-class big shot.
Even the Haus family’s and Baron Paul’s statuses were far inferior to Gaffrite’s. Only people like Death Gate Academy’s Dean, Death Gate City Lord, the Chief Executive of the highest leadership of the nobles and the President of the Tronic Chamber Of Commerce had statuses that were on par with Gaffrite.
Usually, President Gaffrite would only come in person for the D-grade Chemist certification ceremony. And to think, right now, these apprentices were just F-grade level!
Everyone was so excited! Even Kayla’s eyes shone. Though her face looked calm, it was clear that her heart was elated.
Only Tyrion frowned upon hearing the news. He thought to himself that it might not necessarily be a good thing that Gaffrite was coming in person.
Soon after this commotion, Gaffrite arrived at the scene, followed by more than ten D-grade Chemists, all of whom were wearing their D-grade badges. The apprentices were in a frenzy of excitement at the arrival of such a special group of VIPs.
“Ahhhh!” That’s my idol! Chemist Correstel. He’s the youngest D-grade Chemist ever!” a woman screamed fanatically.
“President Gaffrite… I am really seeing President Gaffrite in person…”
“No one has ever seen such a big event, where fifteen D-grade Chemists and President Gaffrite are all present!”
Even Aaron looked nervous. As an F-grade Chemist, it was already difficult for him to see a D-grade Chemist on normal days. This was because any one of the D-grade Chemists was considered a big shot in the their eyes.
Even though his power was largely divided among the D-grade Chemists, as he was a C-grade Chemist himself, no one dared to go against him. Not even the righteous academy alliance nor the demonic academy alliance wish to disrespect him.
“Mr. President, what brought you here?” asked Aaron respectfully.
The entire group of D-grade Chemists was completely silent. They all wanted to see for themselves who the Fiend Chemist was, so they had come along.
“Ha ha, Aaron, you did a good job in bringing so many geniuses to the Alchemy Guild this year,” Gaffrite said with encouragement.
Aaron blushed with excitement, as being complimented by the President was a great honor. Gaffrite then looked at the 10 new F-grade Chemists on the stage and said, “All of you did very well. The Guild will depend on you to grow and prosper in the future.”
A group of people, including Prince and Vonn, were flushed with excitement. Although they were not as crazy as the apprentices, the looks on their faces showed that their emotions were touched.
“Mr. President, we will work hard to develop and become one ofthe greatest Chemist like your. ” one of the apprentices said.
Just when they were all so excited, no one had noticed that Gaffrite’s eyes secretly glancing at a certain person, then quickly looked back again. He then said, “Let’s not waste any more time. Let the ceremony begin.”
Gaffrite smiled, his demeanor affable. In fact, he didn’t look anything like the President of the Guild, nor did he have any of the usual authoritative or snotty presence about him. Seeing this, even the 15-D grade Chemists, who were standing at the back, looked surprised.
Tyrion was the last in line. As Gaffrite presented them with the badges, the newcomers were all thrilled.
“Mr. Gaffrite, you’ve always been my most admired Chemist, especially when you developed the C-grade rapid serum, which stimulates and muscle speed by 20% as compared to the serums in the past. It had such a great impact on Evolved Beings! This is so incredible …” Prince was so excited meeting with Gaffrite, he became instantly incoherent.
“Hahaha, you are Prince. I remember you,” Gaffrite smiled and patted Prince on his shoulder. “Your potential is comparable to Kayla’s. Work harder in the future.”
“I will!” Prince was so encouraged by Gaffrite’s words, he nearly fainted with excitement. After all, it was his first time meeting such an important person.
“Miss Kayla, you have done a good job as well,” Gaffrite smiled and handed Kayla her badge and suit. Even though Kayla was still looking seemingly indifferent, Tyrion, who was standing beside her, noticed that Kayla’s ears were flushed with excitement.
“Mr. Gaffrite, can I follow you, maybe even learn more about the serum?” Kayla suddenly spoke up with a very abrupt request.
Even the D-grade Chemists, who were standing at the back, were stunned. Aaron’s brows furrowed, as he felt that Kayla’s request was a bit too much.
After all, Gaffrite was a C-grade Chemist. Even the D-grade Chemists were eager to follow him and learn from him. So, it was unthinkable that Kayla, who had just become a F-grade Chemist, would make such a bold request!
“Ha ha, if you are interested, you can come and visit my research laboratory. However, I do not necessarily have time to guide you personally.” Gaffrite laughed goodnaturedly, admiring her spunk.
At this moment, even the D-grade Chemists looked at Kayla with envy. It would be a great inspiration to be able to visit the C-grade Chemist’s research laboratory often, and it would also be a great help in learning to refine serum in the future!
Even a D-grade Chemist would not be able to enter the research laboratory anytime that he wished! So, if one fostered a good relationship with Gaffrite, the chances of becoming his apprentice would greatly increase.
At that point, Tyrion was the only one who had yet to be presented with his badge and suit. Gaffrite’s hands trembled at the sight of Tyrion, but no one else noticed…
