The Absolute beast Tamer-Chapter 79: ALCHEMY (1)

No. 80: "I hope we can relax today."

Alan: "You are talking as if you know what type of lecture we will have today."

No. 80: "I said I hope, after yesterday with instructor Lilac, I want to take a week just to heal."

Alan: "Contrary to you, I want to spend more time with her; every minute in her lesson is more valuable than gold."

No. 80: "I didn’t notice it before. Tell me the truth, are you a masochist?"

Alan: "If it means that I can learn and get stronger than I am, I am the biggest one in here."

No. 80: "A sexual deviant. My new friend has very weird sexual tendencies."

The two of them walked side by side until they reached the usual gathering point, which is the training room.

Even though they were early, they were surprised to find numbers 9, 17, 18, and 25 already gathered inside.

No. 80: "I thought we would be the first, but aren’t you all a little early?"

No. 17: "We can’t afford to stay relaxed, something you don’t understand, number 80."

Everyone gave Alan a look as if the previous classes proved to them how terrifying the youngest is and how he was capable of easily suppressing them given enough time.

When the rest of the seeds all gathered, waiting for the instructor to come.

The one who walked from outside was a bald middle-aged man, tall, almost 190 cm, with muscle all over his body; every move of his concealed an enormous strength gathered inside his body.

Yet what broke the picture was the white lab coat that he was wearing and the dark bags under his eyes, as if he had not slept at all in a long time.

"Oh, I see everyone’s here. I miss the days when I was always feeling full of energy."

Everyone immediately lined up as they greeted the incoming instructor.

Everyone: "Good morning, instructor Mark."

Instruction mark: "Good morning everyone, let’s go to the lab."

After greeting everyone, he exited the training room, and everyone followed behind him.

Alan: "Are we going to a lab?"

No. 80: "Thank God that we have an easy lecture today, actually not so easy, but we don’t have to get hurt, maybe?"

No. 18: "Number 33, we are going to the lab because instructor Mark is the instructor responsible for teaching us the fundamentals of portion making and poison."

Alan: "Are we even trying to become alchemists?!"

No17: "Not exactly but our job demands that we became something like a jack of all trade, so we have to hold the knowledge about a few potions that is essential in our line of work, And we extensively focus on poison, how to make it and how to fight it, sometimes even how to use it in our missions."

After they walked for almost 5 minutes, they entered a very advanced-looking laboratory.

As soon as they entered everyone went to the usual places only Alan who was operating his talent the god of void to sense every single spot in this place.

Instructor Mark: "Who are you?"

Instructor Mark saw Alan standing at the door alone and did not enter; he was surprised by his presence as he asked.

Alan: "Seed number 33, greeting instructor Mark."

Instructor Mark: "A newly added seed At this time, that is very unusual!! How long have you been here?"

Alan: "Almost a week now, instructor."

Instructor Mark: "immediately pushing you into my own class is impossible as you do not have any basic knowledge but you can observe and if you have any questions I will be happy to answer them, after today’s class I will send you the material so you can do some self-study, is that okay"

Alan: "I did a bit of self-study alone before I joined the program, as I was extremely interested in becoming an alchemist or an evolution master."

Instructor Mark: "That’s a very admirable aspiration; go and have a seat."

After Alan sat down in front of a table that was full of equipment, instructor Mark started the class.

Instructor Mark: "Okay everyone, today, The first agenda that we have to tackle is the identification of the potion that I brought with me."

Instructor Mark moved throughout the room from one table to another as he took out a single potion and put it on display for the seeds.

Instructor Mark: "Whenever you are ready, you can start. I will start the timing now. You have 1 hour to identify the potion and mention three of the five ingredients that were used to make it. go"

Everyone opened the potion and began working and experimenting on it. The only one who did not do anything was Alan, as the instructor did not prepare his share in advance.

No. 80: "Instructor Mark is known for his eccentric personality. He likes to isolate himself in the lab for an extended period of time and does not care about what happens in the outside world.

Even in this black site, instructor Mark made his own black site, completely isolating himself and focusing on alchemy.

That’s why he didn’t know about you and probably did not prepare your share from the potions.

Just come to my table and observe. If you like to take a crack at it, by all means do.

Alan: "Thanks."

As Alan joined number 80 at his table, he did not interfere in the work and simply observed with his senses every step that number 80 took as he was trying to identify the origin of the potion.

Time passed, and almost 30 minutes went by like a flash for everyone except Alan, who was bored out of his mind.

Alan: "No80 Can I examine your potion?"

No. 80: "What’s left from the portion is on the table. Do whatever you want."

Alan took the small vial that had less than half of its original capacity left inside.

As he smelled inside of the vial, a few lines of information danced around in his mind.

Item: [Scaleshine Resilience Brew (potion)]

Description: [Enhances the natural defenses of cultivators and beasts. The resistance to physical damage is significant, but it does not provide complete invulnerability. The fire resistance is a secondary effect and less potent.

Ingredients:

[Draconis squama (Dragon Scale Shard): 1 perfectly preserved scale, shed naturally by a mature Azure Dragon.]

[Serpens crystallis (Crystal Serpent Venom): 3 drops, ethically extracted and neutralized.]

[Petra vitae (Living Stone Moss): A handful, harvested from the Sunstone Caves.]

[Sol lacrima (Sunstone Tear): 1 perfectly formed gemstone, imbued with sunlight.]

[Aqua ignis (Fire Spring Water): 250 ml, collected from the volcanic springs of Mount Cinder.]

Alan put the potion back on the table and took a single paper as he wrote down all the information that he felt in his mind.

Nobody observed his actions at all, as everyone, even instructor Mark, was busy with the different processes and experiments trying to identify the origin of the potion.

Instructor Mark: "Okay everyone, almost an hour has passed, so stop and let me see what you have written down. After I gather all your reports, I will read them for everyone to hear, so be prepared to be embarrassed."

No. 80: "Ahhhh, instructor, you always do this to me knowing that I’m the most stupid here."

No. 17: "You are already smart enough to know that you are the idiot in the room."

After instructor Mark collected all the papers, he reached table number 80 and took his paper. At that time Alan decided to give his paper too.

Alan: "Instructor Mark, here is my report too, as I observed the work of my seniors."

Instructor Mark smiled as he appreciated the young man trying to be a part of the process, which was a very positive thing, so he took the paper and put it at the back as the last one.

Instructor Mark: "We will start with you, number 25. Your report says: a potion made from scale species beasts. That effect is the enhancement of an aspect in some beasts. That is very vague but almost accurate.

Sadly, all the ingredients that you mentioned are wrong."

No. 25: "No way! All of them!!"

Instructor Mark: "Yes, all of them. Next is number 17. You identified the potion as a defense enhancement potion used for both cultivators and beasts, which is fully accurate, but you did not provide the name of the potion. Also, all the ingredients that you mentioned are wrong."

Number 17’s face darkened as she did not voice a word; dissatisfaction with her results was clear.

Instructor mark: "Number 18, you are the bravest in this class as you tried to provide the name for this potion; sadly for you, it’s wrong, and from the ingredient mentioned, only one is correct. We will discuss it later."

No. 18: "Huh, ayahhh."

Alan: "It seems that no one truly likes this class."

No80: "Not all of us completely suck at alchemy; just wait and see."

Instructor Mark: "Next is your turn number nine. How confident are you in your answers?"

No. 9: "60%"

Instructor Mark smiled as number nine was the best student in his class who had a very high aptitude to become an alchemist.

He had already offered her to transfer to his department. Yet was sadly rejected.
