Without a word, her teammates began unloading their spoils onto the collection table. One by one, they placed regular beast cores, the boss beast's core, and several puzzle cores — small, rune-inscribed stones that shimmered faintly under the terminal's light.
Professor Yulia, who oversaw their report, looked up from her clipboard. Her normally stern expression softened, a rare note of approval in her voice.
"Excellent work," Yulia said, meeting Cecelia's gaze. "And Cecelia — your support spells yesterday stabilized at least four other groups. That will be noted in your record."
"Thought there are no marks on such runes but your group had suffered to abstract such, so i will count it", said professor Slyvia from behind.
Her eyes shifted to the pile of puzzle cores, and she gave a brief nod. "And puzzle cores as well. Impressive."
"Thank you," Cecelia replied quietly. Her tone was polite, but there was no boastfulness in it.
