Main Character Hides His Strength

Kim Sung-cheol found strange faces gathered around a shabby warehouse that was hidden behind the tent.

Bacil Pilus and his disciples, professors of Alchemy.

By this time, those who needed to sleep or smoke weed had gathered in the void with their country's lost faces.

Kim Sung-cheol approached them.

“What happened? ”

No one answered.

Everyone just sighs with their heads down.

Kim Sung-cheol approached Basil Pilus, who seemed to be able to speak clearly, and asked the question again.

“What happened? ”

At this time, the man who was always sleeping naked was dressed properly today.

He looked up at Sung-cheol Kim with a desperate face and said lonelily.

“The department got a notice of lung failure. ”

“The Emperor?”

This is what happened.

Since when did the alchemists become a junkyard in Airfurt where only the underclassmen who were expelled from other academics gathered together?

The level of the student and the level of the professor is also the bottom itself.

Kim Sung-cheol was familiar with that part.

However, as the situation in Airfurt became difficult, there was a movement to abolish unnecessary academics.

After the death of the prestigious former Vasyl Pilus, the alchemists fell sharply, and in recent years they have not been able to do anything right.

Eventually, the alchemists were banished to their tents and were waiting for the day they would be abolished.

It was at that time that Sung-cheol Kim joined the Alchemy Department.

“Professor, you're not obsolete yet. ”

A girl with dark circles stared at the professor and said in a depressed voice.

“That's right. It's not confirmed yet. But that's only for a week! ”

Vasyl Pilus shrugs his head and bows.

“What happens if the lung is confirmed? ”

Kim Sung-cheol asked.

“Once I'm clear that I'm expelled and my students are destined to do the same, unless they seek another advisor. ”

“We're getting kicked out, too. Only people who have been rejected more than once are gathered here. ”

A girl with dark circles said bluntly, and Vasyl Pilus scratched his head and responded.

“Unless a miracle happens. ”

Kim Sung-cheol's eyes reminded me of that.

“Hehe, is there a way? ”

I don't know anything else, but if it's about money, I can fix it.

However, it was unexpected that this solution came from the mouth of Basil Pilus.

“Emergency Operations says... that if we produce something that is satisfactory, we will postpone the abortion. ”

“Satisfying accomplishments? ”

It doesn't look easy.

Soon, Vasyl Pilus spoke.

“Yes, they are asking for the craftsmanship of alchemy items of level 5 or higher. And yet... there's not a single one of us who would be ashamed to make that. ”

It was then.

The thing that shook strongly in Kim Sung-cheol's pocket.

Bertelkia trembles violently, as if the phone from the phone vibrates.

I think I have something to say.

Kim Sung-cheol asked for understanding and went to a quiet place, and Bertelgia burst out of her pocket as if she was waiting.

“What? You can't even make a level five item? Ugh, they're everywhere! ”

Bertelkia is outraged.

*

Alchemy items that can be crafted through an Alchemy Kiln have different levels than other items.

The levels are divided into nine grades from 1 to 9, with 1 being the lowest grade and 9 being the highest grade.

However, the highest level of Alchemy items that humans can make are known up to level 7, and there are no alchemists available at this time.

Therefore, Alchemy items of Level 5 seem to be of a moderate level, but they actually have a very high level.

I didn't ask the alchemists to produce an Alchemy item of Level 5 or higher while operating in an emergency.

“Phew. The end. I can't believe a Human named Professor of Alchemy at a prestigious place in the world can't even make a level 5 Alchemy item. This is a language cluster.”

Bertelkia is angry for some reason.

Kim Sung-cheol looked at Bertelkia with interesting eyes.

“So, what's the plan? ”

“Of course. I'm a report of Alchemy knowledge. It's a level five item, of course! ”

Bertelkia opened the page herself to show Kim Sung-cheol the recipes for various alchemical items.

However, we cannot understand it together.

Kim Sung-cheol, accustomed to the grimoire, recognized that the cause was in his lack of intuition and shook his head.

“Unfortunately, I don't understand your page. ”

“Oh, what's your intuition now? A little over 100? ”

Kim Sung-cheol nodded.

“Well, I guess you wouldn't understand now. Then I'll teach you the recipe myself. It's not something you should do as a guide to the vision of a creationist! ”

“Oh, there was a creationist. ”

I've completely forgotten about Eckhart's quest ever since.

“What? Did you... forget? You're walking the path of a creationist? ”

Vertelgia fell in shock, then climbed to the eye level of Kim Sung-cheol and smashed through the bookshelf just before hitting the ground.

“Don't you want to rethink it? ”

“I... can't tell you how brazen I am! Well, I don't care! Whether you walk the path of a creator or not is not a matter for me to impose on a guide. ”

Bertelgia seems a little upset, but she did what she had to do.

“Anyway, from now on, I'll call you the name of a level five item that I know you can make. Pick something that looks decent. ”

Bertelkia lists the names of the alchemical items.

Sunset Candlestick, Rainbow Ingot, Floating Stone Crystal, Alchemy Bomb (Black), Herpyr Medicine.

A total of 5 alchemical items.

I haven't heard of all these items except for Yooseong Chul-soo Kim crystals in heaven.

“What's the easiest of both? ”

“Well, frankly, it's all hard. You'll have to relive dozens of failures. The criteria for selecting these are easy to get materials from. ”

As Bertelkia said, the craftsmanship of a level 5 alchemical item was not easy.

The difficulty in collecting materials was said to have been overcome by the power of money, but each item required an alchemist's unique skill set that was hard to express in numbers.

A dusk candlestick, for example, required an alchemist to master the art of polishing, a rainbow ingot to understand heat, and an Alchemy Bomb (Black) to master the finer craftsmanship and use of divination.

Others had similar circumstances.

Requires each required skill.

“What are you going to make? ”

In Bertelgia's question, Kim Sung-cheol chose an Alchemy Bomb (Black) after considering for a long time.

I thought smashing it was the best way to appeal to the top of the school.

“Good. Then let's go tell these idiots! Even if we make it, those idiots have to step on it to apply for judgement! ”

Kim Sung-cheol listened to Bertelkia.

Basil Pilus was still smitten with the disciples of destiny to be banished.

Kim Sung-cheol stood in front of him and said his plan in a bold voice.

“I'm going to create a level 5 alchemy item from now on. A week from now. I'd like to ask you to apply for a hearing on an emergency operation. ”

“Yes? You're going to make a Level 5 Alchemy Item?

Vasyl Pilus lifts his head wide.

“Yes, I'm going to challenge you. ”

“You've been in Alchemy for less than a month. Have you ever made a Level 3, or Level 2 item? At least I don't remember teaching you. ”

“One of my acquaintances is a skilled alchemist. I'm taking a personal lesson from him. ”

“Hmmm...”

Vasyl Pilus has always been a bit grumpy, but he nods eventually.

“I understand. I'll apply this way. But remember that. the fact that the judges coming out of the emergency room are professors of the flamethrowers and the icebergs. If you play some kind of prank against them, you won't be safe. ”

Basil Pilus made it clear that the applicant was Kim Sung-cheol, although he would apply.

It means I won't take any responsibility.

Kim Sung-cheol nodded.

“It doesn't matter.”

That way, Kim Sung-cheol and Bertelkia headed to the Alchemy Ingredients Store in the Golden City.

“Give me everything. ”

Kim Sung-cheol not only used the Alchemy Bomb (Black) but also used the materials he needed to make the other 4 items.

It was a stone in case the Alchemy Bomb didn't turn out as expected.

Of course, I had to spend a huge amount, but Kim Sung-cheol's balance was still solid.

He went around the Alchemy Ingredient Shop clearing out the items that would become ingredients before returning to school.

Alchemist students who were dying next to the warehouse had been bottling since midday.

There is a foul smell of marijuana in the warehouse.

Basil Pilus, who had to lead them, was interfering with the students and smiling.

Kim Sung-cheol didn't want to, but he could eavesdrop on some of their conversations, all of which were bad jokes related to sex.

Kim Sung-cheol settled in an annuity kiln farthest from them.

He took out the stacked table, placed the tablecloth on top of it, and placed the alchemical materials purchased downtown and the materials needed for crafting.

“Let's get started, then. ”

Bertelkia, in his pocket, said in a confident voice.

“So, what do I do first? ”

“First you have to trim the firewood spore seeds. ”

Kim Sung-cheol picked up the thick hair-covered seeds from the material lying on the table.

Size is about the size of a peach seed, and texture is annoying.

Kim Sung-cheol picked up the seed and smelled it.

Overall, there was a plant spray, but it was hiding the acrid gunpowder inside.

< Firewood Spore Seed >

Level: 4

Grade: C

Attribute: Neck

Effect: Explosion when in contact with shock or fire.

Note: The seeds of the fir tree that inhabit the eastern Great Plains. When the seeds are ripe, the firearms become stronger and self-destruct, sending the spores away.

He demands 20 Silver Coins for each Seed.

For Kim Sung-cheol, gum is only worth a month's salary for a regular employee at the Airfurt School.

“Once you carefully grip the seeds' skins, carefully cut the surface and extract the essence of the explosion inside. ”

Kim Sung-cheol immediately went to work.

“Be careful. It could explode. He's dangerous enough that his fingers will fly if he doesn't get it right. ”

Bertelkia warned me to be careful, but Kim Sung-cheol, the master of cooking, was a tough knife.

Despite being the first crop he worked on, he gently dissected the seeds and extracted the thick solid powder with a red color hidden in it.

"Well done, this guy. ’

Bertelkia was a little moved.

I had felt it before, but Kim Sung-cheol's skill in handling materials was unusual.

Even a well-trained alchemist can hardly handle Firewood Spore Seeds.

“What do I do next? ”

“Th-they can be crushed in the trigger. But don't do it now. It's best to smash the seeds after holding the five-part essence. ”

Kim Sung-cheol immediately went to the next job.

He trimmed the seeds with very quick strokes and soon contained the essence of five seeds.

“Can I smash it now? ”

“No! It's not okay to just smash it. You have to make a neutralizing agent and add it before you smash it. ”

“Neutralizer. You mean the one you make from blind grass? ”

Bertelkia shakes her body firmly in Kim Sung-cheol's pocket.

Kim Sung-cheol immediately reached out to the blind man's grass.

Bertelkia was watching the fingertips of Kim Sung-cheol.

‘Before I put the ingredients in, I taught you to trim them, but let's see where they go right now. ’

Kim Sung-cheol lit an Alchemy Kiln and put distilled water in it.

That's as common as it gets.

The important thing is next time.

“ ……. ”

Kim Sung-cheol picked up the selected blind man's grass again and looked at it quietly. Then, he began working on removing the roots and dried ends one by one.

‘Huff! You're doing it right. This guy! "

Bertelgia was a result beyond expectation.
