Cosmic Ruler

After the appraisal ended, Tom invited everyone to celebrate this moment and everyone cheered and get ready to celebrate.

Finally at noon all the celebration started with joyous laughter, music, and dance. Jake and his friends swirled around on the dance floor, their movements filled with the exuberance of the moment. The parents sat at the table, savoring the lively atmosphere and engaging in conversations.

Amidst the celebration, Tom suddenly stood up and excused himself from the room, leaving everyone curious about his sudden departure.

"What happened to him?" Johnny asked, taking a bite of the cake.

"Who knows," Reynold responded, raising his beer glass in a casual toast.

After a brief moment, Tom returned, holding a beautifully crafted bottle of wine. The labels on the bottle confirmed Reynold's suspicions. The bottle is ruby read with a red crystal as cap, inside the bottle, the wine sparkling, as if to seducing others to drink it.

"Is that Blood Berry Wine, the specialty from Vampire towns?" Reynold exclaimed, eyes lighting up with recognition. Johnny, though not familiar with the specifics, couldn't deny the allure of a fine bottle of wine. Whatever its origin, he was ready to savor the moment.

Tom grinned, acknowledging their enthusiasm. "Indeed, it's Blood Berry Wine. A little something to add to our celebration."

"A little? Are you showing off here old man, that thing is premium, how do you even get it" Reynold said, causing Johnny and Nina to open their eyes wide.

"Humph, what's all this showing off? I saved it for a moment like this," Tom snorted and brought five glasses. Seeing this, Sera sighed and stopped Tom. "As much as I want to drink it, I can't."

"Yes, forgive her, Tom. She can't drink it," Reynold nodded apologetically to Tom.

"What happened?" Tom stopped and asked, concerned for her.

"Hehehe, she is pregnant," Reynold laughed with a big toothy smile.

Everyone exclaimed and looked at Sera collectively as if to ask if it's true. Sera blushed, seeing everyone looking at her intently, and nodded.

Johnny laughed out loud and hugged Reynold, congratulating him. Nina, too, smiled warmly and congratulated Sera, while Tom poured the Blood Berry into all five cups.

"Hey, old man, have you finally gone senile? Can't you understand she can't drink it?" Reynold said to Tom as he saw him pouring wine into all the cups.

Tom smiled widely and said, "Don't you know the origin of it?"

"I only know it's premium that royalties like but not its origin," Reynold replied.

"No wonder, it was actually developed by a female alchemist to get drunk safely even in her pregnant state, but it became so enchanting that everyone started liking it, and thus it became premium," Tom explained.

"You mean it's safe for Sera to drink it?" Nina asked.

"Yes, it was made for pregnant women after all," Tom smiled and nodded.

Relieved and delighted by Tom's explanation, Sera accepted the glass of Blood Berry Wine.

 Tom then poured it for Jake and others too, they are already adult now capable of drinking wine.

As the glasses were raised, a collective cheer filled the room. The clinking of glasses echoed, and the rich aroma of the Blood Berry Wine filled the air. The wine was exquisite, its flavor a harmonious blend of sweetness and depth that delighted the senses. Each sip seemed to carry the essence of the momentous occasion, making the celebration even more special.

Soon the time passed by, and the sky was painted golden orange, signaling the setting of the sun.

With hearts full of contentment, Jake, his friends, and their mentors bid farewell to each other, looking forward to the adventures that awaited them in the days to come.

Despite her protest, Reynold again carried Sera back home while others smiled at their affection.

Returning to his room, Jake laid on his bed; today was both a fun and tiring day.

[You enjoyed a lot today] Nexus said.

"Yes, it was fun. Show me my status," Jake nodded and said.

"Nexus, now that I am E rank, how to progress further?" Jake asked closing his status screen.

[There are two ways now, first to absorb a core same as your core, which is easy for you as your Origin core can absorb all cores and refine it, as for your Heart Core there is no other way but to absorb only Mana core as it's Mana core]

"Absorb core?, like core of beasts and such" Jake asked

[Yes, now for the second method is to refine environmental energies using a art but it took more time then first method]

 "hmm, Where is the next part of unknown art?" Jake nodded and then asked, as he has yet to receive the next part of unknown art, the Foundation part is fully mastered by him now its time for next part.
