Chapter 103
I noticed a little while ago.
Mr. Carrot, who had fallen behind, noticed something.
“Get out of the way, kid. I just wanted to hit you.”
With those words, Carrot kicked Jaylen in the face.
“Kuh! It’s violent. But what can you do? Third rate?”
“Shut up. A monstrous b*tch.”
One more kick, and Mr. Carrot clicked his tongue.
“You are laughing. Don’t you think you’re talking sh*t in front of anyone?”
As if he was embarrassed, Mr. Carrot looked at Jaylen’s condition seriously.
“I guess this is possible with my talent.”
“skill? no way… … .”
“Alchemy? Then you can unlock it in the same way.”
It won’t be that easy.
That’s why Jaylen also sneered and declared that it was impossible.
“What are you going to do in this place without any description?”
“yes? There’s no way you’d need anything like that to deal with a prank like this.”
“no way… … .”
Jaylen was astonished as if she had realized something.
“Look closely, crazy b*tch.”
Let Mr. Carrot stretch out his hand.
A transparent ember rises from her grasp.
“Alchemy fire ?! … … okay! After all, your teacher! Found it and you inherited the knowledge!”
“… … Was this what you were looking for?”
The reason why Jaylen used the previous request to play tricks while targeting Mr. Carrot’s workshop.
To be precise, he had his eye on some knowledge left by Mr. Carrot’s teacher.
The fire of pension that does not depend on equipment.
“As expected, your teacher!”
“Noisy. I learned it to be prepared when equipment is damaged. Well, if you can f*ck four years with this, that’s enough.”
High-level alchemy cannot be learned without special equipment.
It’s the same even for Jaylen.
But now, Mr. Carrot has started a fire without it.
Transparent flames swallowed Jeilen.
“I can’t use this properly, but I’m sure I’ll use it enough to feed your years.”
The flames of alchemy manipulate matter.
Even if it is a material that is decaying.
Stop interfering and calm down.
The material’s decay to self-destruct stops.
“Hey, kid. finish it.”
“I’m already ready.”
Three spheres of condensed black flame form.
The highly concentrated heat eventually becomes a thin stem and pierces the enemy.
brain.
heart.
And the core, an artificial organ that can only be found in homunculus.
“… … !!”
The mad alchemist collapses without even being able to utter a proper death sentence.
It just turns into ashes like grains of sand.
“Clear with this.”
* * *
《Clear the sub quest.》
《Acquire experience.》
《You have reached level 33.》
《Acquire 5pts of level-up bonus skill points.》
In addition, some materials were acquired.
In particular, fragments of the cumbersome threads she used are worth collecting and recycling.
The rest of the post-processing was not difficult.
I immediately contacted the Imperial Knights and Academy.
Proving innocence was not difficult.
Immediately, the clean-up was taken over, and we were released immediately after leaving only the testimony to be done.
“sh*t… … . I was terribly unlucky.”
“Once you finished safely, didn’t you? The store didn’t even go over as collateral.”
“I don’t think it ended well.”
“From now on, take a closer look at the contents of the request.”
“… … Chit.”
No need to sympathize.
Mr. Carrot seems to agree with that point, but he doesn’t seem to mind it very much.
“More than that, kid… … . Are you really going to be okay?”
“yes?”
When I asked in a rare serious tone as if concerned, I pretended not to know and shuddered.
Of course there is no way
“I noticed.”
“He’s probably alive. It looks like you, the little boy, were also filmed there.”
I defeated Jaylen, but it was far from feeling like I had killed him.
would have run away I agreed with that too.
“well. It’s nothing new to me because I’ve been stamped on by even worse guys.”
… … I realized that I was in charge of aggro?
No need to worry.
“If it bothers you, please help me in the future. Mr. Carrot?”
“Think of it as a debt and cooperate. Just be careful.”
“I will remember it.”
Mr. Carrot’s cooperation will be obtained.
《You will be able to enter Carrot’s workshop.》
《It will become possible to acquire and train higher level alchemy.》
Well, this is a bit later.
First of all, let’s prepare to earn a lot of money as planned.
* * *
After that day, I received permission to use Mr. Carrot’s studio.
To receive guidance in alchemy.
And for the promised collaboration, it must have been decided that it would be better for me to go to the workshop and work.
And it also means that you have your own trust.
“Little boy, I felt it when I saw the potion you brought, but aren’t you using alchemy equipment?”
“Currently, the alchemy class is not lending its equipment to students from other classes.”
It is my situation that I am making up for what is lacking by roughly replacing it somehow.
“Then, it doesn’t matter if I use the equipment of my workshop when I have time.”
“Wow! exciting.”
That was genuinely sweet.
The number of things that can be produced increases.
You can also craft high-level potions, elixirs, or combat items.
“Of course, it’s just a description. And handle it with care. Because they are expensive.”
“of course!”
are you okay. Even if it’s broken, just pretend you don’t know.
“… … hey!”
“Of course, you have to cherish it.”
“done… … . I’ll look at how to write it later. younger than that? What were you trying to make?”
“Didn’t you tell me?”
Come to think of it, I’ve never had an explanation for that.
“I won’t help if it’s suspicious.”
“It’s not like that. Maybe I’ll make something weird~. My motto is to make something sound and helpful to the world.”
“hey… … Look me in the eye and tell me.”
I heard this.
Well, it’s not wrong to say that it will help.
“Why isn’t the midterm evaluation coming soon?”
“Oh~! Well, that’s the time. Well, even the little ones will have a hard time. evaluation… … . Are you still busy these days?”
“well. Well, anyway, since the evaluation period is coming, you feel like you want to make a contribution.”
“… … study.”
These are your words.
But I don’t go to study.
“What are you trying to make money on?”
“Why does the demand for a wake-up drink increase during the evaluation period?”
“ah… … . That disgustingly tasteless thing.”
Mr. Carrot frowned as if he understood what he meant.
Surprisingly, coffee-like items exist among the favorite goods currently circulating in the empire.
In the game, if you drink it, it has a temporary awakening effect or a small magic recovery effect.
I quickly lost interest here because it was just filthy tasteless coffee.
“It’s not cheap, but there’s quite a demand.”
It seems to be steadily loved by scholars and overworked students.
It sells well.
I don’t eat because it’s delicious, but I feel like I’m eating to live.
“what? Are you going to do some coffee business?”
“Please. As a student, I can’t get my hands on it. Not to mention, it doesn’t even require alchemy.”
Anyway, what I’m aiming for is the next one.
“I will make a more powerful stimulant than that.”
“… … hey!”
Added more, not less.
Mr. Carrot loathes, as if seeing some terrible demon. No, did I say anything bad?
It’s called a stimulant, but it’s a little more mild than a drug.
Okay, let’s mimic our familiar energy drinks.
It may not be enough to recreate this and that, but there is magic and alchemy here.
I’m sure that using potion manufacturing knowledge, I can make something more powerful than that.
“We literally make and sell drugs that can attract vitality.”
It’s so powerful that even drinking just one can turns it into pure white ash!
the next day? What do you know?
I’m not even going to eat it.
After all, I know best what will work best for students.
“And it’s to take care of the students who forget to sleep. hehehe.”
“… … Mad Bird X.”
“Then won’t you help?”
I’m not saying it doesn’t help.
“In addition, if you help with production, I will give Mr. Carrot 40 percent of the proceeds.”
“… … Little boy, let’s hear the details as we start working.”
After all, money is precious.
What if your opponent doesn’t like it?
All you have to do is promise a lot of money that is too much to refuse.
* * *
What is a student’s dream drink!
A miracle product that literally gives you the illusion of living 30 hours instead of 24 hours!
“Here is a masterpiece that will keep you from sleeping for ten days just by drinking one can.”
“… … What, I’m afraid of that.”
However, they do not say what will happen after ten days.
don’t worry. It’s just that I’m falling for it.
When I confidently showed her the newly developed potion for awakening and told her about its efficacy, Anila turned pale.
It didn’t sound like acting, it just seemed really silly.
“Mi, crazy… … . Xian, are you really thinking of selling something like this?”
“of course.”
I created a stimulant that was the purpose.
Special, energy potion.
Even Mr. Carrot, who was helping with the production, said, ‘Huh? for a moment? is this really good? Aren’t we going to burn?’
“Are you going to make something like this and not sell it?”
Don’t you smell the money?
“It’s the devil.”
“The devil is my servant.”
(Excuse the devil. Xian. Even the devil doesn’t do this.)
weird? Why is the devil terrified of humans?
“If you doubt the effect, would you like to try it?”
“it’s okay… … . I won’t even say it because I’m afraid of what’s going to happen next. … … The scary thing is that the other kids are going to drink.”
“yes. Because you will be afraid of the midterm evaluation.”
“It’s even more terrifying to do it knowing that. draft.”
Exams are a serious matter for students, and if need be, they will sell their souls.
How can you not know that passion for learning and earnestness?
“So why are you doing this to me? I don’t mean to brag.”
Of course, I didn’t mean to give Anila a drink.
“I want to sell this while avoiding the eyes of possible professors.”
“Are you going to the black market?”
“There are better things than that.”
“ah… … . That’s it.”
Only then did Anila, who understood my intentions, let out a sigh as if in annoyance.
“I know. Anilah. The academy has a secret sales department, right?”
“… … where else is that? No, if it’s Xi’an, you’ll hear it.”
what do you think of me
Philos Academy’s internal distribution is largely divided into two parts.
One is a structure in which goods are contracted by an external merchant and sold to students at the academy.
Another is a structure in which the academy buys things created by students and sells them back to the students.
However, the latter is not a very wise structure.
There are too many leeches that eat them in the middle.
I wouldn’t stop it if I needed the experience of being slapped, but I don’t like that.
then?
“I heard that there are students who arrange distribution without permission?”
“also… … .”
The ignorant kids only use the academy’s authorized stores.
But when you get used to life here, you hear about some guys.
secret sales department.
From noble mtl dot com
A group that avoids the eyes of professors and trades mischievous items made by students or hard-to-find items.
Compared to formal sales through the academy, the commission is surprisingly low, and above all, no matter what is put out, it does not interfere as long as it does not cross the line.
“You want to introduce yourself?”
“I don’t want that much. I just want you to tell the story to those seniors.”
“What if I refuse?”
“Then, that’s it.”
You won’t get rejected anyway.
