The audience was curious about what the Alchemy God talked about with both of the finalists. Once the god walked out, they waited for him to explain.
"Our two finalists, Alchemist Aethersage and Alchemist Dawnblade, have come to an agreement on how we will be deciding who the winner will be. They have decided that the victor will be chosen based on the number of pill veins they can create in an hour."
"After an hour, we will count all the pill veins—not pills with pill veins—and decide the winner."
"Pill veins are just as important as the pill's harmony itself, perhaps even more so, so the fact that it will be the deciding factor for who will win the tournament sounds fair, does it not?"
Hearing how the winner was to be selected excited everyone. Watching two alchemists make one pill at a time, with both managing to form pill clouds, was only so fun because one immediately knew they had tied.
