It was strange.

A man far from sincerity and meticulousness makes it so natural for him to trim one ingredient.

Kim Sung-cheol carefully put it into an alchemy kiln, mixed with the herbs of a refined blind man and other ingredients, and carefully shaken with a spatula.

Soon a green neutralizing agent was born in the kiln.

“Can I pour it into the trigger? ”

“Ugh… yes! A sheep can have about 3 spoonfuls with an Alchemy Spoon. ”

“ ……. ”

Kim Sung-cheol put the neutralizing agent into the trigger and carefully crushed the essence of the harmful firewood seed with a cypress.

After about five minutes of work, the neutralizing agent was drained and only red powder remained in the trigger.

“Is this enough? ”

When Sung-cheol Kim asked, Bertelkia waved once.

“Yes, that's enough. I'm going to use my next name. ”

“Syllables.”

Kim Sung-cheol gazed indifferently at the name.

An unfamiliar instrument.

“The distribution of the amount of an Alchemy Bomb is very important. That's why you don't need an exact metric. ”

At that point, Bertelgia thought:

‘No matter how much you succeed at once, it's not going to happen, is it? I don't know about anything else, but the first time I've dealt with a nickname is not by beginner's luck! ’

Soon the weighing process through the name of the Lord began.

Kim Sung-cheol placed red powder on one arm of the symmetry and put a little weight on the other arm to measure its weight.

It was the first time I did it, but Kim Sung-cheol came up with focus and accuracy.

“So, what's next? ”

Bertelkia stares straight at the swaying syllable.

A flawless full measure.

I don't want to admit it, but Kim Sung-cheol seems to have the most basic alchemist's virtues in mind.

But despite that talent, the combination of the Alchemy Bomb (Black) ended in failure in the final phase.

Boom!

While stirring the kiln, Kim Sung-cheol felt that a large amount of Mana was escaping, and even though he drank Manatsu and recovered Manatsu, the most important concentration that he had to focus on was destroyed, so his softness only ended in failure.

[Softening Failed!]

A shallow groan came from Kim Sung-cheol's mouth.

In the off-season, a high-level alchemical item that steals a large amount of Mana and causes tremendous mental fatigue was hard to taste.

‘I can't believe someone my size is having a hard time. Alchemy isn't bad either. ’

Students who are playing drinks in the far side of the warehouse are looking this way.

They smile loudly, pointing to the rising alchemy kiln.

“Phew. Those idiots. Why do you think he lives like that? ”

Bertelgia grumbled, but Kim Sung-cheol was different.

‘I don't know why, but something seems to have gone up. It's like a very rewarding mix of fatigue right after a very difficult battle. ’

Kim Sung-cheol immediately opened the status window to check his stats.

[Stats]

Strength 999 + Agility 853 HP 801

Magic Power 132 Intuition 103 Magic Resistance 621

Will 502 Charm 18 Luck 18

Magic power and intuition are small, but they rise.

Though the coupling has failed, it is not a complete failure.

Kim Sung-cheol felt his strength rising again.

He sips a few magical essences and then goes back to crafting the Alchemy Bomb (Black).

I was just about to resume my work.

Bertelkia has stopped him.

“You should rest for a while. It's hard to make 5 level items in a row at your level right now. ”

“Really?"

“Alchemy is often treated separately from magic, but when you look at its essence, it's a kind of true magic that transforms matter into something completely different with its own will and skill. So if you use more magical power than your body can withstand like any other magic, the magical fingerprint in your body can be destroyed. You do know that if the magic fingerprint breaks, he can't use magic, right? ”

Bertelgia's advice is not in the nature of what you're about to hear.

Kim Sung-cheol immediately understood her words and quietly asked.

“How many times a day can you try? ”

He asked for the best he could.

Bertelgia takes a few moments to speak in a low voice.

“Number three. I don't think we can do more than three. ”

“Good. I'll tell you what. ”

Kim Sung-cheol has since tried two more times.

All results failed.

Both of them were shorthanded at the last moment and failed due to lack of magical strength and low concentration.

However, Kim Sung-cheol was not discouraged.

He only sensed it and failed, but even a modest increase in stats was made due to the craftsmanship of high-level items.

‘Good. With this feeling, we can succeed in at least three days. ’

Students from the alchemy group who do not know the heart of Kim Sung-cheol were drinking alcohol as a freshman who was causing a smokescreen explosion from afar.

“Ehe! That man. What are you doing making a Level 5 Alchemy Item? Are you trying to blow up the whole school? ”

“I know. Just listen to the outward.Look at the way he's using his nickname. ”

Then a figure walks towards them from behind.

The students who were drinking alcohol and smoking weed smiled and froze as soon as they saw the figure's face.

“Phew. The smell of garbage. It's disgusting, isn't it? ”

Leonard Bottom: The man's identity across a robe with red sensitivity symbolizing the flamethrowers

He passed by looking at the alchemist students as if they were worms, and smiled brightly at Kim Sung-cheol, standing next to the alchemy kiln, which was smoking black smoke from afar.

“Aha!”

At that moment, his appearance disappeared with the magicians and appeared in front of Kim Sung-cheol shortly after.

“Hey! An uninvited guest from engineering. What are you doing here?”

He looks surprised when he looks at Kim Sung-cheol's failed workmanship with his face close to the alchemy kiln.

“Oh my. Are you making an Alchemy assignment?" ”

“As you can see. ”

“But you failed? ”

“ ……. ”

After Kim Sung-cheol kept his mouth shut, Leonard walked past Sung-cheol Kim, smiling.

“Time is running out, so work hard. Otherwise you will be expelled. ”

Kim Sung-cheol noticed that Renard was behind the sudden abolition decision of the alchemists.

‘Wizards are always like this. I love being bald. ’

But no matter what he said, whatever he did, Kim Sung-cheol had nothing to do with it.

Because at this point, Kim Sung-cheol was confident that he could create a level 5 alchemical item.

The results appeared 4 days later than Kim Sung-cheol's expectations.

The item Kim Sung-cheol tried to soften was neither an Alchemy Bomb (Black) nor a Floating Stone Crystal.

The process of making Herpyr medicines was remarkably similar to the process of making his favorite dishes, even if he was a brother.

A rare medicinal ingredient is put on the juice and mixed with various precious medicinal ingredients to make a medicinal mixture.

At the end, Kim Sung-cheol experienced trial and error while only mixing alchemical ingredients with medicine and magical power into a spatula.

Insufficient magic is the essence of magical power, second to none, with strategies to cope with mental focus through the experience.

It had been a long time since Sung-cheol Kim was able to see the light shining in the pension kiln.

[Combination Success!]

“Wow!"

Vertelgia trembles violently.

Looks like it's become a habit.

Kim Sung-cheol did not like Bertelkia to stir up chaos, but now he happily embraces the tremor.

After a long time of fulfillment, Kim Sung-cheol put his first level 5 Alchemy item in a glass jar and went to Basil Pilus.

“This is the promised level 5 alchemy item. ”

*

The hearing went quickly.

The judges agreed to attend both Robert Danton, the dean of the iceberg and Fregius, the dean of the flamethrower, but Fregius was unable to reach him, so he attended on behalf of his deputy Professor Amin Maluf.

There was also a face that Kim Sung-cheol knew well next to Amin Maloof.

Leonard Bottom.

When he saw Kim Sung-cheol entering the emergency room with Basil Pilus, he waved his hands and acted like he knew him.

“Then I shall commence judging. ”

The screening professors examined each item Kim Sung-cheol created in a unique way.

The method of emotion will examine the type, nature, and authenticity of the alchemical item.

It didn't take long.

“This is a Level 5 Alchemy Item. ”

Robert Danton nods first and Amin Maluf says the same.

Leonard Bottom's face begins to twist violently.

“That's ridiculous. How did this happen...! ”

Towards him, Kim Sung-cheol lightly tossed a bottle of extra Herbal Medicine and said in a bold, distinctive tone.

“Then check for yourself. ”

Leonard Sanctum did as Kim Sung-cheol told him.

The results were obvious.

Kim Sung-cheol really created it.

“This is... crazy! ”

Leonard yells at his invincible personality as his solemn superiors finish the screening announce the results.

Robert Danton mutters, staring at Leonard as he walks down the street with cold eyes.

“You son of a bitch. If it wasn't for Fregius, he would have done it a long time ago. ”

The attitude of amine maluf was also not significantly different.

Only not in words.

Leonard mutters and makes a mess of things, and the results are published.

“Alchemists are admitted to completing certain tasks, so they suspend their abolition. The deadline is one year, and within a year, the alchemists will have to prove another reason why they should remain in Airfurt. ”

The moment of victory.

Bacil Pilus clenched his two fists, and the students who were breathing behind the conference room and eavesdropping on the sympathy inside raised their voices.

Kim Sung-cheol turned around while the hallway was covered with cheers.

That's when Leonard gets up.

“Hey!"

Leonard was losing his mind.

“You bastard! Seong-chul Kim! You can't just let him go. ”

Kim Sung-cheol quietly turned around and looked at Leonard.

“?! ”

Leonard screams, taking away his inner frenzy, even though his breath is choking.

“A duel! Let's battle for the Gauntlet! You wouldn't say no to a boy, would you? ”

Robert Danton stood up with an unpleasant look on his face, and Amin Maluf stood up.

At that time, the door of the closed conference room opened and a student wearing a robe of flamethrowers rushed into his urgent face.

“Khh... This is bad! ”

Robert Danton stops and gazes at him.

“What's going on? ”

When asked, a flamethrower student cried out.

“Professor f-frigius... murdered! ”

That one word was enough to shock the crowd deeply.

It was Leonard Bottom who was more shocked than anyone else.

The school's power, which was shouting aloud at the head of the Ice Society, as well as coming back to school under Frigius' protection, suddenly lost its support.

Robert Danton's icy eyes turn to Leonard Bottom.

“Get out of my sight now! You piece of shit. ”

Leonard's face flashes upward, but he walks out of the conference room, his head bowing.

The area surrounding Airfurt was changing dramatically.

At the center of it, Kim Sung-cheol was gazing out the window with his mouth shut.

‘I have a feeling about the storm. ’

The feeling was unmistakable.

When Sung-cheol Kim returned to the coffin, a familiar small animal jumped at him.

“Tsk, tsk!"

A sky squirrel.

However, the condition of the sky squirrel is strange.

There was red blood on his front foot that no message came from.

Kim Sung-cheol smelled it.

It does not belong to the celestial squirrel.

It smells of human blood.
