Contrary to concerns, Professor Grossman said nothing.
She just gave me advice not to be conceited, saying that achievement is much faster than expected, but it is relatively because I have not accumulated so much.
And unlike the other two, he said that repeated practice would be necessary, so he placed a human-shaped piece of wood and ordered monotonous training, such as stabbing and cutting the vital part.
The only difference from last time was that it was ordered to repeat with a slow posture.
And she said that I had to check my movements and set up cameras here and there, but honestly, I wondered what the meaning of this kind of behavior was.
[With the guidance of an excellent master, the growth rate of dagger mastery is slightly increased!]
… Of course, because of the notification window that popped up in front of me from time to time, I just kept my mouth shut and swung the dagger as she told me.
Strangely, it seemed to follow the original in this part.
In fact, even in the original work, the easiest and surest way to practice mastery skills was to take a class from your advisor.
[ Dagger Mastery (Growth / Beginner: 0.24 %) ]
has risen tremendously.
I stuck out my tongue a little.
Although the amount of experience required from beginner to beginner was small, it was not an amount that could be raised in a day or two at most.
Even in the original work, I had to focus on training for at least a week to get out of the introductory stage.
Probably because of the battle with Jin Ye-seul or the effect of the Awakening Potion of Concentration.
However, such a fluke was not always something we could hope for, so we had to diligently raise our proficiency from now on.
‘I have to practice archery too.’
Time is short, but there is so much to do.
With a small sigh, I did not stop the training that Professor Grossman had given me.
Before the festival came, I had to prepare everything I could.
And that day will probably be the day that is most at odds with the original.
“… … .”
For a moment, my head became complicated, and I shook my head quickly as if to shake it off right away.
Now is the time to move your body rather than worry.
As if possessed by something, I cleared my mind and started moving my body.

It was surprisingly quick until Friday.
In the meantime, I had spent a little time with nothing special, such as training under Professor Grossman’s guidance and attending classes with sincerity.
In the case of Choi Hyun-woo and Han Su-young, it seemed daunting to follow their respective classes.
Jin Ye-seul was still acting quietly, but these days, she has often been seen getting along strangely with other students.
Today was a day with only morning classes.
Choi Hyun-woo and Han Su-young each went back to the dormitory to take a break, and Jin Ye-seul also disappeared somewhere alone.

Of course, it’s convenient to be alone here, too, but… … .

Once again, there are only three people I know in the same class.
I just realized that.
Even then, it was ambiguous to call Jin Ye-seul a friend.
“… … .”
I quickly returned to the dormitory, passing my classmates who were laughing and chatting with close friends.
Then I dialed one of the few numbers stored on the phone.
“Is it possible?”
[Well, no problem… … .]
That opponent was Lee Myung-jun.
Despite the sudden call, he gladly accepted my request.
[As you know, I’ve been busy for a while. Guess I’ll have a little bit of time tomorrow morning. Is it still okay?]
“That is enough. No, thank you for giving me that much.”
He smirked a little at my answer.
[What are you thankful for? I should be more grateful for this one… … Anyway, I can take a look at your training early tomorrow morning, right?]
“Yes.”
In answering that, I glanced at the status window that appeared in the air.
[Designated Confirmation Acquisition Rights ― Skills (Consumable, Bind, Rare)]
[You can definitely acquire one skill of the specified opponent. If used once, it will be consumed and disappear.
― Can only be used against opponents with a fixed affinity.
― It can be used only with the consent of the other party.
― If the acquired skill is a growth-type skill, it will be created with the lowest rank.
― In the case of arts that require specific conditions, selection is not possible.]
My objective was to acquire one of Lee’s craft.
The necessary conditions had already been met for a long time, so there was nothing to take.
[okay. Then see you tomorrow.]
“Yes. thank you.”
I answered and hung up the phone.
Designated Acquisition Rights.
There were three people I could use: Choi Hyun-woo, Han Soo-young, and Lee Myung-jun.
Which of them would you use this for?
In fact, this has been one of my biggest concerns lately.
Representatively speaking, such as Choi Hyun-woo’s sixth sense, or Han Soo-young’s breathing method that can restore mana just by breathing.
Both were more than enough skills to get their hands on.
However, I chose Lee Myung-jun’s art.
It was because he had an art called celebration.
‘celebration.’
Myung-Jun Lee’s unique ability to store electricity was literally the ability to collect and store electricity.
Thanks to this ability, he was able to fight for a long period of time with minimal power consumption while taking the ignorant combat method of fighting with lightning all over his body.
I operated my cell phone and looked at the explanation of the congratulatory message that appeared in the setting book.
[celebration]
[Extra mana, energy, power, etc. flowing inside the body can be stored and stored.
At this time, it changes into various forms depending on the nature of the owner.]
No matter how I think about it, it was the ability I needed the most right now.
With that in mind, I glanced at the tank containing the mandragora.
The tank, which was full before, is now only about half full.
I carefully lifted the guy shaking the roots looking over here and put it inside the gourd.
“where… … .”
And the branch of the World Tree, which woke up from dormancy, began to suck up the water dissolved by the energy of Mandragora remaining in the tank.
[The eggplant of the world tree consumes a small amount of nutrients!]
[I feel the energy springing up in my body. The mind is temporarily cleared.]
[An energy that has exceeded the limit that the body can accept is circling in the body.]
[The remaining energy is lost naturally.]
“Hmm.”
The branches of the World Tree, which had sucked up all the remaining water in the tank, wriggled as if they had a will.
It looked as if he was satisfied.
I looked down at the branches of such a world tree and remembered the information about the guy who had changed at the same time as I woke up from dormancy.
[Effect][Active]
― Part of the world tree can be extracted from the body. Currently, that’s a bit lacking.
― You can absorb the energy of the target that touches the branch of the World Tree. However, if the opponent’s overall stats are significantly higher, the energy may be taken away. A target with an absolute advantage can unconditionally absorb energy. You can impart energy to connected opponents.

‘I guess I did, it must have been a type of ability that really absorbs.’
To be honest, it was surprising, but that was all.
A few days ago, when fighting a member of the Thorns Cross Society, it was because he had expected it roughly.
In the future, there will be less teasing due to lack of mana.
To be honest, I’ve never had a big disappointment because of my lack of magical power, but if I moved Henir’s shadow for a long time or kept the status window on for a long time, I definitely felt a burden.
The stronger the ability, the higher the amount of mana required.
“Whew… … .”
I got up, grabbed an empty tank, and headed to the bathroom.
There was also a gourd with mandragora in the tank.
‘Today, I go to Cass Lyle to make a potion of purification, and tomorrow morning I will learn art from Lee Myung-jun… … .’
And attack Isabelle Gaudi’s dungeon.
As this was the place I had been looking for before entering the academy, I decided to take every possible way I could.
Purification Potion, Henir’s Shadow, World Tree Branch. To be honest, it’s a win-win when there’s even Nidhogg’s fangs… … .
“Ouch.”
As I was cleaning the inside of the tank, thinking blankly, I lowered my head at the pain I felt in my ankles.
There, a mandragora that I had placed next to me was kicking me with its leg-like roots.
I was surprised that it hurts unexpectedly.
“No, you’re cleaning your house right now, aren’t you?”
As if to soothe him, I started taking out the filters, plants, and heaters in the tank one after another.
All the while, he kept kicking me.
‘Are you angry for waking me up from a good night’s sleep? Or maybe he was surprised that when he woke up, the branches of the World Tree were sucking up water.’
Then, while taking out the pebbles under the tank, I found something unexpected.
“uh? what is this.”
“… … !”
Something like amber.
It was definitely a spirit stone obtained by catching an old tree in a simulated dungeon.
“Why the hell is this here… … .”
After muttering like that, I turned my head in hope.
Then, Mandragora, who had been kicking this way a while ago, fell down in a stiff posture, like an ordinary plant root.
He looked like he was taking off his chin, pretending not to know who he was.
“… her?”
* * *
After finishing my chores in the dormitory, I headed straight to the alchemy room.
As Cass Lyle said, there were many people who only listed their names, so this time, he was alone in the alchemy insolvency.
He sat down and read a book, looked at me and raised his hand.
“You are early, you are here.”
After changing his words in the middle, he closed the book and stood up.
I glanced at it and it was the same book he had handed me before.
Come to think of it, I listened to it once and never opened it again.
“Come on, wear this.”
“Oh, yes.”
Cass Lyle handed me a white gown.
As I was handed the robe and looked at his face, a sudden surge of displeasure and disgust began to rise.
At this point I could be sure that my assumptions were correct.
This feeling was due to the branches of the world tree.
I’ll have to take action later.
I asked without making eye contact with Cas Lyle on purpose.
“Are there any dangerous ingredients?”
“No, it just doesn’t come off if the solution gets on your clothes.”
Cass Lyle wore the gown with skillful dexterity.
“If it’s dangerous, you need to use all kinds of tools, starting with safety glasses and gloves, but the Purification Potion doesn’t have any of those ingredients. Just be careful with your complaints. The process of distillation and refining is also fast.”
“okay.”
“Then how much do you need?”
In response to his question, I told him roughly what I expected.
“About three bottles… .”
“There are quite a few.”
Cass Lyle muttered like that, but didn’t ask me how to use it in detail.
The purification potion, as its name suggests, is to purify evil energy, and it must be because it cannot do any harm to humans.
“Then, shall we start by trimming the ingredients first?”
That was then.
The door to the insolvent room swung open, and someone came in at a natural pace.
To my surprise, that person was Alice Blesbuck, my homeroom professor.
“what?”
When she found me, she opened her eyes wide and looked at Cass Lyle as if asking for an explanation.
Then he let out a small sigh, passing her gaze as if he was familiar with it.
“Professor Blesbuck. Did I tell you? You’re a new student in the club. My name is Yoo Ji-hyuk.”
“Uh, no. Of course you know the name. That’s my classmate.”
Professor Blesbuck stuttered and answered.
At those words, Cass Lyle looked at me.
I looked like I was wondering what the problem was.
“You never asked, so I thought you knew. I knew that the professor here was Professor Blesbuck.”
“That, so?”
She blushed in embarrassment.
Apparently, he didn’t even know that I had joined the alchemy club.
Then she saw me and Cass Lyle’s outfit, and her eyes lit up a little.
“Are you trying to make some kind of reagent?”
“Yes. I needed a junior here, so I tried to help as well as coach.”
At that, Professor Blesbuck said with a smile.
“Oh, so can I help? Now that I’m here, I give guidance to the two of you, but I’m the professor in charge, so of course I have to be by your side during practice.”
“That’s it, Professor… … .”
“I thank you.”
With Cass Lyle, who looked embarrassed, beside me, I smiled slightly.
Even in the original story, she was the person who was always good to eat.
Recalling old memories, I looked at her with an expression of knowing nothing.
“So what are you going to make? Isn’t it dangerous or anything like that?”
“Is it possible? I just asked for a potion of purification.”
“uh… ?”
Her expression darkened at my words.
As mentioned earlier, the purification potion does no harm to humans.
It was only to purify the evil.
Yes, such as undead beings.
And Alice Blesbuck was a being with half the blood of a vampire, who could be called such an undead aristocrat.

Of course, the potion of purification couldn’t harm her, but there was no doubt that it was something she was reluctant to.
“Thank you so much for your help, Professor.”
She tried to smile at my thanks.
“Yes… … That, yes.”
