As I told you, Nishia skillfully draws a magic circle for synthesis on the workbench. After I gathered all the necessary materials and piled them up, I called Rin.
“Yes, senior, what should I do?”
“Nishia won’t be able to activate the workbench due to her mana depletion. So, use your magic instead of Nishia.”
“Squeeze your magic… All right.”
From noble mtl dot com
Rin nods her head and approaches Nishia. After Nishia drew all the magic circles on the workbench, she opened the paper and set the magic control level so that Rin could recognize it.
Shaiza’s magic circles for alchemy are structured like blood vessels. If you pour magic power into one side of the drawn magic circle, that magic will flow along the magic circle drawn on the workbench.
The problem is that this synthesis itself is a fairly advanced technology, so if it lacks or has too much mana, it won’t work normally. That’s why Nishia is giving Rin precise instructions while using the mana symbols that all magicians know.
It was Nishia who was holding the pen tightly to make corrections in real time while looking at the state of the magic circle.
Nishia puts on a worried expression, afraid that Rin will make a mistake, but she wonders who Rin is. She is the heroine of this world. I am well aware of her magical talents, so I believe that she will surely do it well without mistakes.
Of course, alchemy items are also sold at the Melgard class canteen. Although not as specialized as Shaiza, Melgard also has practical alchemy classes. This is a class to prepare items for field treatment and survival situations.
I lined up the empty flasks that were on display at the store, and at the same time opened the lid of the magic gardening potion I had. Afterwards, she injected magic into the eyedropper and used alchemy decomposition on the spot.
An error of 1g is unacceptable. So, I refined my concentration even more, and used the disassembly to take only the desired ingredients with a dropper and put them in an empty flask. Then Nishia calls me.
“Senior, the workbench is ready.”
“Okay. Nishia, please take care of the prepared ingredients.”
“Yes.”
I took the empty flask and headed to the workbench. Then, he placed the flask he was holding inside the circle drawn on the left side of the workbench. The letter B is written inside the circle.
“Lin. Now, name the location where you are injecting your magic power into 2. Think of it as going up one by one in a clockwise direction from there.”
“Yes.”
“Of course you learned the mana injection unit, right?”
Rin looks at me and nods her head. Just then, she approaches with the ingredients Nishia has prepared for her.
“Nishia. There should be a flask with only the essence subtracted from my potion. Fill it with magical water and mix it well. And Lynn. Sit in number 4 and keep the 7mck.”
“Yes.”
Rin imbues the workbench with magic as per my instructions. Then, mana flows through her magic circle, and she moves on, turning white chalk marks into blue. The blue line is a circle with a flask on it. Leads to B.
After I confirmed that the mana was flowing well. After placing the plant Nishia had been grooming on the number 6 spot, she infused it with magical energy. Then, as the grass melted and soaked into the white chalk, it made its way to the place where the flask was located, turning the chalk marks green.
The blue line Rin blows in and the green line I send intersect, and liquid begins to rise in the empty flask.
“What, what is this technology. This is the first time-“
“Concentrate.”
“…… “
“Go to number 3 and get 20 mck. By grant, not by retention. Nishia. When you’re ready, put 5mL of mana water in the flask on the seat B.”
“Yes”
“Lin come to my place and keep 7mck.”
Lynn nods her head and walks over to my seat. After I yielded her seat to her, I approached her Nishia and trimmed the rest of her ingredients. It was then.
Bang!
“Kuh. There is a student who uses magical powers-“
“Rayplane, step back. It is my domain to use force.”
“Yes.”
Rayplane and Valandis were pushing the furniture piled up in front of the door with their bodies. As Layplane backs away, Valandis stretches out his arms and starts pushing against the furniture.
While preparing the ingredients, I wrote down a recipe on a piece of paper and handed it to Nishia.
“The ingredients are all ready. Just mix it like this.”
“Yes!”
I approached Rin, holding the extract extracted from the magic gardening potion. This time, the flask containing the extracted extract was placed on the empty circle.
A is written in this place. An empty flask was placed on top of the circle drawn in the center. The circle is marked with the symbol =.
“I will do a triple synthesis. Going along the drawn line, repeating disassembly and synthesis, the resultant value will be extracted in the flask placed in the middle.”
“Yes, yes!”
“You have to focus. Rin, because you have to infuse magic into two places at the same time.”
Lynn swallows her saliva and nods her head. Originally, this is a work that I do alone, but I have a lot of time, so Lin has to help me without mistakes. At this time, Nishia’s voice is heard.
“Senior! I’m ready.”
“Nishia put it in the C spot. Lin This time, reversed from before, keep 7mck on number 3 and grant 20mck on number 4. She has to do it at the same time.”
“Yes!”
After confirming that Rin had prepared it perfectly, I took out the potion of magic gardening from her pocket. I poured it into the place where I was going to inject my mana. Originally, it would have to go through the process of extraction and combination through disassembly several more times, but there is no time.
For that reason, I’m thinking of disassembling and extracting in the process of sending magic power to the workbench and moving the input value along the circuit. Rin’s mana and my mana. And as the magical gardening potions are combined, the entire workbench starts to glow.
The contents of the flasks placed in each place of ABC, after repeating shrinking and expanding, in the middle. The contents of the empty flask, which was seated in a circle marked with =, begin to fill.
“Rin, I’m going to finish. Go to number 1 and hold 20 mck for 5 seconds. Exactly 5 seconds.”
“Yes”
I’m going to pour Rin’s mana into the number one spot. After confirming that circuit 1 is colored blue. I poured the magic gardening potion into Rin’s circuit.
Then she put her finger on the circuit that was headed for the result and channeled her mana. The input value that went through the circuit to the result value was changed in the middle by using alchemy decomposition. Necessary ingredients, extracted through disassembly in the middle, move toward the circle with the sign = =, and unnecessary ingredients flow down the workbench while riding on the line.
As soon as the disassembled ingredient is added, the potion placed in the place of the = sign begins to boil.
Bang!
“Woros! I can’t stand it any longer! If this door is breached. Can not help it. The only way to suppress it is by force. Many sacrifices will follow!”
After I looked towards Valandis. I looked at the flask that was placed on the table. The contents were still boiling.
I closed my eyes and focused all my attention on the flask on the table. Boiling is a phenomenon that occurs when all ingredients are not in perfect harmony. If you misdirect magic here, it will explode.
It is my job to calm down all the ingredients and synthesize them perfectly. I left all my senses to . According to the correction value that I felt instinctively, I poured my magic power into it.
Then, I moved to the number 1 spot where Rin was standing and blew magic into it 4 times. Then, the contents of the flask that had been placed on the seat of the result suddenly calmed down, and the colorless contents turned green.
“It is complete. Senior Valandis Rayplane. Get the medicine from Nishia and take a sip of it and drink it! Lynn Nishia, take a sip, both of you! If you don’t drink, you’ll get involved.”
At my signal, Valandis and Layplane fall from the door and run toward Nishia. At the same time, bang!—A sound is heard and the blocked door explodes and opens.
Students rushing through the open entrance. I took the finished potion and threw it at the wooden furniture. Then the flask broke and the contents spilled onto the furniture. Wood furniture starts to catch fire. At the same time, orange smoke rises from the furniture.
As smoke begins to fill the concession stand. I ran to Nishia and took a sip of the potion she prepared for me.
“Everything will be fine! Trust me, get down on the floor, and cover your nose with a handkerchief or clothes!”
The order to lie face down in a situation where students who have been mentally controlled and come in with weapons is the same as telling them to commit suicide. But my party members, without the slightest suspicion, lie down on the floor and cover their noses with handkerchiefs.
“Lin! The most powerful gale magic out of the door. With the feeling of spreading that smoke throughout the building!”
“Yes, yes! Watch out everyone! I will replace all my mana!”
Rin gently raises her body and uses magic. Then the students who were running towards us were blown away by the wind, and the orange smoke rising from the furniture was swept out of the door with terrifying force.
In addition, because of the property of wind magic, the fire attached to furniture spreads at a frightening speed. For reference, that fire takes on the nature of fire as the essence of magic gardening burns, so it has the same nature as fire, but it does not cause much damage even if it touches the skin.
Like that, the fire surrounds the canteen and sweeps away, creating a great smoke.
Wheeiik!ㅡ
It is difficult to open your eyes due to the strong wind. In such a situation, Nishia, who was lying down next to me, tightly grips my hand. Just like that, the wind storm swept away everything and silence came.
“Oh, is it over?”
It was Rin’s voice. We got up from her seats at the sound of her voice. The fire that was burning the furniture was naturally extinguished when the magic effect was over. The students who attacked us fell asleep on the floor, snoring.
“Woros, what was this?”
“Sleep smoke. It doesn’t have much effect outdoors, but in a completely enclosed space like this building, its power cannot be ignored.”
“You managed to create something like that in such a short amount of time.”
“Yes, I am an alchemist.”
At my words, Valandis smiles and nods her head. The sleeping smoke grenade I smoked would circle the building and put all the students to sleep. In fact, I can’t say that this sleeping bomb is very effective.
If it’s outdoors, it’ll be scattered right away, so if you don’t deliberately put your nose in and inhale deeply, you won’t fall into an abnormal status, and you can avoid it by holding your breath.
However, this building is sealed, and the students are under mental control, so they can’t even choose to hold their breath. In this case, the optimal item was created only for this situation.
Thinking of that, I was feeling proud of the fact that the items I made had brought about successful results.
“This is nonsense. This is impossible.”
“What do you mean?”
“Layplane, since you are a swordsman, you won’t understand. This… No, I have to ask myself.”
Rin, who was having such a conversation with Rayplane, rushes towards me. She looks around her and looks straight at me.
“Seo, senior… I don’t understand. Just that… That composite.”
“What do you mean?”
“I know that each school prefers a different synthetic formula. A simple workbench made by Nishia. Even if it’s the first time you see it. Instructions given to me by my ancestors. I mean that makes no sense.”
I brushed the dust off my clothes. I didn’t want to answer because I didn’t have time, but Rin was arguing in front of me as if he would listen to my answer. Seeing Rin like that, Nishia laughs helplessly.
“I understand that alchemists are theoretically superior to wizards, but the process of channeling mana is no different from magic casting. And yet I did not understand.”
“So what do you want to say? We don’t have time.”
“The type of mana flow and the required amount. So, I wanted to know how you found the necessary match car numbers all at once. Of course I know how to fix it along the way… ”
I opened the eyes of the fallen students to check their condition, then looked at Rin and opened my mouth.
“Rin, did you say what I just did was impossible?”
“Yes… Even though he is an alchemist who is accustomed to theory, it was a real battle. Depending on the mass of the material and environmental factors such as the ambient temperature, the match car value may vary… I was wondering how you got the right numbers.”
“You seem to be mistaken about something, but there are probably not one or two people like me who make combination formulas with senses. How many alchemists do you know who do this with their eyes closed?”
I said that, thinking of the freshman from the Deglus Alchemy Association, who will be entering next year.
“Do not rashly say that it is impossible just because you do not understand.”
“That… sorry.”
“Yes. We don’t have time, so let’s go first.”
MCK. The match car value is a symbol commonly used in all operations of pouring mana. In addition to professional skills such as alchemy and magic engineering, it is a value used for magic that flows when casting magic.
For that reason, the ability to figure out the required MCK level at once and extract the exact number only with the senses is also an indicator of how competent a wizard is.
The deeper you understand and control MCK, the more powerful magic you can cast with less magical power. If the level of ability to deal with this increases, it is possible to use multiple magics at once, even double casting and triple casting.
In the original work, if you participate in a class dealing with MCK, your magic proficiency will increase, and if you study this area in depth, you will be able to acquire a skill called 「Magic Mastery」.
The reason Rin is so obsessed with what I just showed her is probably because I, not a wizard, looked at the situation with my own eyes and accurately figured out the required MCK level and gave the order without even planning a combination formula.

I only learned the MCK levels needed for synthesis through Skills. If he showed this level of proficiency in the general magic area, not alchemy, he would be able to see the enemy’s magic with his own eyes and follow it at once.
Unfortunately, my ability to handle MCK is limited to alchemy, so I can’t perform such an eccentricity. With that thought in mind, I took a step closer to Rin.
“If you want to hear more, come to my store later. There might be something to learn from me. Let’s focus on work for now.”
I wanted to teach Rin a little to improve his specs, but I decided to refrain from the current situation.
