When Yoner arrived at the workshop after being contacted, Lee Han was still glaring at the flask with a frown on his face.
âNot yet.â
âLee Han. Letâs eat lunch.â
âno. The impurities are still there.â
âItâs okay to have that much left, so just give it to me.â
âIt has to boil enough to boil to be complete, not just complete.â
âThe person who did the work is fine, but whatâ¦!â
Yoner was stunned, but Yihan did not back down and glared at the flask.
Not knowing what to do, Yoner decided to sit down and watch Yihan do it.
Lee Han concentrated on his stubbornness by shaking the flask, turning it around, and even slightly exposing it to fire.
Seeing that, Yoner remembered that her older sister, Joanen, had evaluated Lee Hanâs work the other day.
He was scolding that he had done a really neat job, and excitedly saying that he was several times better than the previous assistants.
Joanen had said that alchemists these days are impatient and impatient, so even with the same extraction, the results often come out disappointingly.
If you use too much fire, the precipitate that has not yet melted will make the liquid cloudy, and if you use too little fire, the quality will change along the way.
When he remembered that, Yoner felt a little relieved and didnât regret his attitude toward Lee Hanâ¦
â¦but instead just got up and forcibly pulled Lee Han out.
Yoner had no intention of playing to the beat of crazy perfectionists like her sister and Lee Han.
âWork on it. Eat and do it.â
âno! Yoner! only once! Just one more timeâ¦!â
âThis is the Maikin family workshop. Itâs not the Wardanaz family workshop.â
Yoner removed the workshop key from the side of the stove, put it in his pocket, and pushed Lee Han on the back.
* * *
âBy the way, Mr. Wardanaz. I have a question for you.â
Not only Joanen, but also alchemists working elsewhere in the studio had many questions about Lee Han.
Seeing his subordinates ask questions on their own, Joanen smiled in satisfaction.
The workmanship was not normal for anyoneâs subordinates.
âah. I also have a question.â
âAsk me anything.â
âIâm preparing the ingredients needed for Dobrukâs Jade Dream potion, but I got stuck while melting the old silver into a solution. Maybe the impurities didnât disappear completelyâ¦â
âAh. That can be enough. Heâs pretty picky about the Empyrean Dream potion. The color of the solution is a muddy color even though silver is dissolved, right? The wizardâs magical power has a limit, so we need to change the flame. There is jade clay in the workshop, so try changing the nature of fire by sprinkling it.â
âthank you. ah. But itâs not mud-colored, itâs silver.â
The alchemist was taken aback by Lee Hanâs words.
âyes? So, did it melt well?â
âThere were a few grains leftâ¦â
âThatâs fine.â
âno. If there is a problem with the potion after compromise, it will be difficult to fix it.â
ââ¦â¦â
ââ¦â¦â
The workshop alchemists stared at Joanen.
He didnât bring it up in words, but it was a gentle rebuke in his eyes, saying, âIsnât Maikin ruining one young wizard?â
Of course, Joanen was not shaken by those eyes.
If he was a person who would be shaken by those eyes, he could not have operated such a workshop with madness and tenacity in the first place.
âI definitely taught you not to be too obsessed with perfection and to do it in moderation, but itâs because Wodanazâs personality is too perfectionistic.â
Thinking that Yoner would have grabbed his back if he had heard it, Joanen opened his mouth.
âBut what Iâm curious about is the professors on the streetâ¦â
âTrue. Mr Mackin. Can I ask you about the magic you did when you made the test solution earlier? Itâs similar to solution rotation magic, but itâs like a different magic.â
âThe magic I used earlier is not solution rotation magic, but upside down magicâ¦â
Joanen, who was explaining, came to his senses and realized that the topic had come a long way again.
Before leaving, Lee Han grabbed another alchemist and asked him a question.
âBy the way⦠Gulp. I mean this.â
âNo, how are you eating all the food while saying that? yes. What are you curious about?â
After Lee Han asked three more questions, the dishes on the table were all emptied and the lunch break was over.
The alchemists stood up and stretched out.
âTime is already like thisâ¦â
âLetâs not go for a walk today, letâs start right away.â
âLetâs go. Mr Mackin. I have to finish the work I couldnât finish in the morning.â
Joanen followed with a slightly pouty look on his face.
* * *
With work behind him, Joanen put his questions aside and focused on his business as usual.
Yoaner was terrified at Joanenâs relentless work like a madman.
As was the case in Ein Lorgard, isnât Yonerâs friend someone who can live without the law?
Yoner flinched, afraid that his friend would immediately grab him by the collar and call out a water orb.
However, as if he was accustomed to it, he immediately resolved all the problems without the slightest complaint.
âthank you for your effort.â
âthank you.â
âreally. Now I have to slowly prepare to go back to school. Is there any potion I want to learn?â
The recipe for the potion was not easily obtainable.
Of course, recipes for basic, easy potions spread across the empire could be obtained at any bookstore in the city.
Basic potions and recipes such as .
But now, like the , the recipe for the potion, which required the efforts and research of the individual alchemist, could not be obtained without the alchemistâs permission, even if he paid gold coins.
In the case of alchemistsâ guilds and workshops, it was even more thorough.
The recipe for this potion was regarded as a secret that was more important than life, so if you messed with it or copied it, the assassin came right away.
As such, it was obviously a favor that Joanen taught Yihan how to make various potions at the Meikin familyâs workshop.
It didnât feel like favorâ¦
Joanen suggested that I tell him about a potion I needed as a student returning to Einrogard in the second semester.
There will be a lot of things going on when you enter school, so it would be quite helpful if you knew a useful potion in advance.
Lee Han asked carefully.
âAre you all right?â
The gift was so large that he was rather cautious.
âItâs not like they donât want to give you a reward instead of a recipe.â
âIâm Yonerâs friend, and I can give you this much of a gift. And they did a good job as well.â
Joanenâs words were sincere.
Compared to other assistants, Lee Han deserved this gift.
âYoner. Which potion do you think would be good?â
âWell⦠Joanen unnie is thorough about this kind of thing for me too.â
No matter how much he cherished his brother, he did not reveal all the secrets of the workshop.
Buy a ball for a ball.
âYou wonât need the invisibility potion. There are even artifacts in magic.â
âHow about a potion of thought acceleration?â
âThatâs not bad either. Iâll write it down right away. A potion that can prevent tracking or disrupt it wouldnât be bad either.â
âI donât think a magic enhancement potion would be bad either.â
âShall we also write down a smoke potion to throw at the chasing guys?â
ââ¦Lee Han. Arenât we only talking about potions for limited situations?â
âis it?â
Lee Han was puzzled.
These seem to be potions that can be used in generalâ¦
âCanât my sister recommend it?â
âAre you entrusting it to me?â
Joanen smiled as if he was dumbfounded, but he was troubled as if he didnât hate his younger brotherâs foolishness.
âMagical enhancement waterâ¦â
âItâs okay.â
âare you okay.â
ââ¦Thatâs right. If not, I think this will be fine.â
Joanen picked up a quill and began to jot down a list of ingredients and a recipe in one stroke.
In an instant, neat handwriting filled the white paper.
âruler. receive.â
âWhat kind of potion is this?â
âYou will know when you make it yourself. Itâs a potion that uses relatively easy-to-find ingredients, so it shouldnât be difficult.â
âthank you. Maykin.â
Lee Han received the paper and fell into thought.
âwhat? It looks like an enhancement type⦠Itâs probably not magical enhancementâ¦â
âBy the way, can you tell me about the rumors that the professors fought on the street? Work is over, so take it slowâ¦â
âAh. Were you curious about that?â
It seemed like Joanen was going to ask something from earlier, but this was it.
Lee Han prepared to tell the story of the crazy professors.
âMr. Maykin! I think you should come right now!! Boiler No. 7 is completely boiling over!! If we keep going like this, we end up throwing away all the ingredients!â
ââ¦â¦Letâs see everyone next time. go!â
Joanen greeted quickly and followed the alchemist into the studio.
For some reason, Lee Han felt that his back was full of anger.
âAre you mad?â
âhuh. But you donât have to worry about Lee Han. Itâs all self-inflicted.â
* * *
âUwuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Can possible]
Nilia let out a painful moan that seemed to be pulled from deep inside her body.
I asked as if I was worried about Kainan Island.
âare you okay? Why?â
âWhy did you come in first place⦠Sorry. I couldnât hear it because I was thinking of something else. what?â
However, Gainando had already turned around after glaring at his friend with a contemptuous expression.
âYou tricked me into pretending to be proud!â
âHas everyone been studying?â
After returning from work at Puyoâs magic wand workshop, Lee Han was puzzled when he saw his friends running around in the spacious drawing room.
Kainando held up his textbook and covered the magazine.
âhuh.â
âWhy are you turning to page 1 every time?ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
ââ¦â¦â
âYes⦠have a snack. Rather, why is Nilia like that?â
âItâs hard to be number one. joy. There are all sorts of things.â
Gainando took a bite of the cream puff and grumbled.
âah. Has the story at the mansion progressed?â
Lee Han said as if he knew.
At that time, Niliaâs opinion was quite good, so it wouldnât be strange if it actually progressed, rather than ending in first place.
âI thought soâ¦â
âI think so, what would it be!â
âwhatâs the matter?â
Yoner, who came in late, tilted his head and asked.
âAre you actually trying out Niliaâs answer?â
âah. that? huh. I thought I might give it a try.â
âHeyâ¦â
âIsnât that great?â
âThatâs great.â
Yihan and Yoner Ratford looked at Nelia with respectful eyes.
Of course, Nilia was so nervous that she couldnât even sleep.
âWhat if I fail! What should I do!â
âThe Meikin family has a lot of money, so it doesnât matterâ¦?â
âthatâs right. That level of failure doesnât matter. are you okay.â
âIf Yoner gets into trouble!â
âNo trouble. If you fail, itâs the fault of the people you chose.â
Yihan nodded his head in agreement with Yonerâs words.
âIf you succeed, shouldnât the Meikin family give you something as thanks?â
âI know. I must say it once.â
ââ¦stop it before I shoot them both.â
Nilia hadnât even started yet, but her stomach stung at the sight of her friends assuming success.
Of course, the Meiken family wasnât rude enough to ask Nilia to take responsibility.
Neiliaâs opinion was taken to the last, and the practitioners of the Meikin family did it themselves.
I really didnât have to worry about it, but unfortunately, the anxiety didnât go away.
âIf it fails, itâs because of my opinion⦠If it fails, itâs because of my opinionâ¦â As
Nilia was very anxious, Lee Han asked Yoner.
âIf it was really the Meikin family, they would have taken care of themselves⦠right?â
âhuh. ah. I heard about inviting Professor Ein Rogard as well.â
âoh. Nilia. did you hear Even Professor Ein Rogardâ¦â
âHuh? Then, can I skip a lecture in the second semester?â
âIt could be.â
Lee Han, who was listening to the conversation between Gainando and Yoner, hesitated.
âfor a moment. Even if I prepare now, the start of work will be in the middle of the semester, so can I go out on my own? Will the skeleton principal give permission?â
