Chapter 68 – Event End
All the customers who came to spectate the closing ceremony walked towards the tables. They started eating the food while Katheryn started the award ceremony for the tournament's winner.
All of the food on the table was prepared by Sery using Katheryn's recipe. Katheryn told him the recipe and he controlled all the tools and cooked them by himself. So, all of them tasted great. The customers were happy with the food.
Katheryn announced the winner starting from the top 100. They got their prizes and walked happily. Although it was not as much as the top 10 winners, it was better than nothing. Getting a 70% discount for a superb training service was more than enough.
After that, the top 50 got their prizes followed by the Top 10 and Top 5. Then, the top 3 winners were announced.
"Next, let's invite our Third Place Winner, Mr. Felix Marshall, to the stage to take his prizes!" Katheryn announced excitedly. Everyone clapped and an old man from the crowd came to the stage.
The old man accepted all his prizes. The certificate, the bronze trophy, and other prizes.
"Please give us some speech," Katheryn gestured to Mr. Felix.
Mr. Felix took the mic and started laughing like an old man would, "Hohoho," Everyone was smiling when they saw that.
"I never thought that I would win a tournament gear towards the young. I participated for fun and was surprised to get this far," Mr. Felix smiled. "I had a lot of fun and thank you for the prizes," Mr. Felix smiled at Katheryn. Katheryn nodded while smiling back.
"Thank you, everyone," Mr. Felix ended his speech and passed the mic back to Katheryn. He got off the stage towards the crowd and people congratulated him.
"Next, let's invite our Second Place Winner, Mr. Ross Iterna to the stage for his prizes!" Katheryn announced excitedly. Everyone clapped and they never thought that Ross was part of the Iterna Family which was part of the Fairy Clan. Ross got up on stage.
Katheryn gave the mic to Ross for his speech. "Thank you, everyone, and especially to the Pasken Pet Nursery for organizing this amazing tournament with amazing prizes. Hahaha, I don't know if I deserve second place because that fight is unsightly," Ross started belittling himself.
"No! You are doing fine!" One of the customers shouted. The others followed suit.
Ross continued, "I will try to strive harder and when there is another tournament here, I will not show that bad performance anymore," Ross lifted his silver trophy and smiled. He gave the mic back and walked down the stage.
While holding the silver trophy, he wondered, "Is this real silver???" He felt like the silver trophy he held was real silver and walked away.
"Now! It is the time that we have been waiting for! Let's applaud this tournament's winner, Miss Esther Ruyel!!!" Katheryn announced excitedly. Everyone applauded excitedly.
"Ruyel!" While clapping, many people were shocked to hear Esther��s last name.
"She is from the same family as the Emperor!" Everyone started clapping much more excitedly.
A beautiful girl walked up the stage. She was not smiling and her face was as cold as during the final battle earlier. Esther received her certificate, gold trophy, and prizes. Katheryn handed her the mic for a speech.
"Thank you, Pasken Pet Nursery. The best nursery I have ever encountered," Esther ended her speech and handed the mic back to Katheryn. Everyone was stunned to hear that short speech but they started clapping excitedly because they were afraid that the atmosphere would turn awkward.
Esther got off the stage and Katheryn continued talking for a bit and announced that the Year-End Lucky Draw would start now. She started with the consolation prizes. There would be twenty winners for this.
The big screen on the stage started the lucky draw and 20 numbers were selected randomly for the twenty consolation prizes.
After that, the lucky draw continued for 3rd place, 2nd place, and 1st place immediately. A young girl around the age of 12 got 3rd place. A man in his 30s got the 2nd place and an auntie around the age of 40s got the 1st place.
Katheryn handed out the prizes and announced the flow for the storage ring to the winners. She explained to them what they had to do before they got their storage ring.
All they needed to do was hand out a ring design to their liking and the nursery would make the ring for them. They could take their time in designing the ring or ask a professional designer to design one for them.
They could also use any existing ring they liked and the nursery would turn that ring into a storage ring. It was up to them. There was no time limit.
Everyone was shocked when they heard that including Esther and Ross. They never thought that the nursery could create a storage ring from a normal existing ring. Their opinion about the nursery increased a lot.
After that, Katheryn ended the closing ceremony but the feast was still ongoing until night. Those that came later could join the feast too. All the customers were happy with the treatment given by the nursery.
As such, the Pasken Pet Nursery's event ended there. It was a successful event and the customers were talking about it a lot after that, increasing the nursery's reputation.
While Katheryn was busy with the nursery, Hailey was busy in the Normal Nursery Dungeon. She was used to Blue now and decided to start training. She did not go far in the dungeon. Sery sent her to a safe zone where there were no monsters around.
She still feared monsters but not as much as before. She worked hard for the past half a month to get used to other monsters such as Red, Fury, Foody, and Glaide. Since all of them were the family's pets, she had an easier time getting used to them.
Even so, she knew that that was not enough. She needed to strive more. She gathered her courage to try getting used to the wild nature. At home, her family was by his side so it was easier but she knew that she needed to be by herself to conquer more of her fear as she would enter school again soon. Thus, Hailey chose to enter the dungeon.
She had been staying in the safe zone for a few days in the dungeon's time getting used to the environment as well as training Blue. She had no experience in training but with Sery's guidance, she was doing well with the training.
"Hu~" Hailey was taking a deep breath. "Blue, I want to try going out of this safe zone," Hailey was determined.
