The next morning, Duke was awakened by a gentle knock on the door.
He got up to open the door, but there was no one at the entrance, only a silver-grey wooden box engraved with the Six-Ring Tower's internal affairs crest suspended in mid-air, with a letter bearing a gold-embossed seal attached to its surface.
He took the wooden box inside, opened the seal.
The letter unfolded, with the formal format of the Wizard Council's official correspondence, the wording solemn and brief, conveying this message:
"All levels of the Path of Divine Revelation have officially concluded, the final rankings have been calculated, and the corresponding rewards are attached with this letter.
The final winner of the fifth-level Gladiatorial Arena is Helena, and she will receive an additional special reward.
Duke is ranked first in this trial score, and as per the rules, should receive the first-tier settlement reward, hereby notified."
