"Well done, both of you."

Alice and Monica came in, making some noise with Wye. I look up from the material I've been looking at, and I welcome you both. Rita hasn't come yet, by the way. Well, we still have 10 minutes till the end of the lunch break.

"Oh, um... nice to meet you. Doctor."

"Hmm! I'm here for you! Doctor!!"

"Oh, hello, both of you."

Monica is very frightened, but Alice is driving normally. They forced Fee to say anything and screw it over. I don't mind because I know someone else, but Alice's one is impotent, too. They'll say a lot from around.

So I decided to introduce them when I cleaned up the materials.

"All right, you can all come out"

Then the corn and corn come out of the box that was at the desk. Number one to four, they're all looking good. It's worth taking care of Rita. Besides, these guys are strangely discerning lately. There's also no more bullying for number two.

What the hell kind of education did Rita give......

……

Everyone greets with their hands up all the time. Yeah, I've never done anything like this before. Maybe Rita was still a delicacy.

"Wow... is this homunculus... that's cute..."

"Doctor! Is this really homunculus?

That's what Alice's going to ask, so I'm going to answer you with a Doya face.

"Oh yes!! It's the greatest achievement of my research, taking in completely independent artificial intelligence."

"Heh... I knew Doctor was amazing..."

While Alice says so, she has a number one with her fingers. One is responding to it and touching that finger with his hand. It's a wonderful sight. Exactly an encounter with the unknown. Alice and Monica are also trying to interact strangely.

Then the door opens. Yes. It was Rita who came.

"Ha... ha... critical, it's safe, isn't it!!?

"Oh...... but what's up in such a hurry?

"Bye! We both have new people coming, so I bought some cake!! Let's eat later! I'll put it in the fridge."

"Ooh... don't be shy, it's"

"Ah! Uh, you're Alice to Monica! My name is Rita Medice...... nice to meet you"

When Rita lowers her head with a pepper, they both greet each other. I was smiling at the sight.

"Monica Dunn...... So! Oh, thank you! Rita!

"My name is Alice Canovaria. Dear Sir, it's fine. Nice to see you, Rita."

That's how the three of us shake hands in turn. Did my Semi become three too? Don't feel like it's finally starting in earnest.

"Ah, Doctor. They're here, aren't they? Now if you'll excuse me..."

When Rita said that, she said her throat like, "Whoa!" Ringing into some sort of posture.

What? What are you gonna do?

"Be careful! Number!! One, two, three, four!! All right! Rest!!

"" "Huh?

When Rita says so in a very harsh voice, all of the first ones will be in a bishy position, saluting along with a multiplication of numbers. And once you create a resting position, it spreads like it did earlier.

"... Phew"

Rita looks somewhat satisfied.

Huh? What are you doing?

"That, Rita. What are you doing?

"Huh? Education, though."

"Kei, education?

"Yes. My teacher took care of me, so I tried my best"

"By the way...... you got something for reference or something?

"It's a military coaching book. I couldn't help but read about how to grow vegetables and stuff, so I turned it into that kind of book I have at home...... glad it worked. Guys, we're not gonna get busted like we used to, are we?

"Ugh, yeah. Right. Is that what you said when you heard me..."

"Ooh, ooh. Amazing, Rita."

"CH, there's an ambush here too...? No way...... right?

Monica and Alice have each reacted, but do we practice alchemy a bit in earnest today?

Thinking about it, we were headed out to the exercise hall.

"Yes. Then I'll do the practice today"

"" "Yes" "

I had him dressed in movable clothes, and we were assembling in the exercise area. It's good to study indoors, but it's still important to understand the theory in your own body. Let's get started in earnest today.

"Well...... maybe Monica is the best of these, so ask for an example"

"Yes. So, what do I do?

"Hmm. Let's make a pillar of ice. Extremely thin one. I wish I could make it to my head."

All right, Doctor.

When Monica hears my words, she starts focusing with her right hand forward.

And if you think you've got a chunk of ice at Monica's feet, it's going to stretch up to be thin, thin, stretched.

"Done."

It was a pillar of ice, free of any brakes, that was completed. The boulder is a platinum alchemist. Speed, accuracy, quite high standards. It must be a gift of effort to be able to be precise so far without the smelting formation.

"... Pretty good. But couldn't it be a little thinner?

"... I thought if I did this any more, maybe it would collapse..."

"... right"

When I pay my right hand gently, I smell the same thing as Monica. Mine, however, is even finer. From a distance, it's so unrecognizable of its finesse.

"... Wow, that's amazing, Doctor"

"Monica won't tell you to go for this degree either, but you should make this place a little more accurate for your goal. For future battles in the labyrinth."

"Ha!!

Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah So I decided to ask them to do the rest on their own.

"Shisei. What should I do?

"Can Alice smelt without a formation?

"Hmmm. Only the easy stuff...... kinda like Monica"

"What about Rita?

"I am much better thanks to my teacher!

"Well, let's do the same smell as Monica for now"

"" Ha!!

That's how we both start to concentrate.

Actually, this practice is packed with all the foundations. A clear image of the mind, the first material, PrimaMateria, magic, which is the three elements necessary for alchemy, will not produce a thin, high pillar of ice unless this balance is beautifully formed.

If you misinterpret the image of your mind, it will collapse, and if you mistreat the first material, Prima Materia, it will collapse, too much magic or too little. It is only by clearing the perfect balance that we can become a substitute.

If you are going to live as an alchemist in the future, you should keep this sense of balance well nourished right now. That's what I thought and decided to impose this practice on the three of us.

"Mmmm..."

Rita is muscular. Instead, talent would be outstanding in this. The way I've grown since I taught you is unusual. It would already be approaching the platinum class Platinum. I still manage to work hard and smell the ice pillars. The speed is slow, but quite a few things are done.

"Hmmm... mmm..."

Alice is normal for better or worse. Even so, the Resist's skill is already on par with mine, but without the smelting formation it looks pretty tight. A small column of ice just stands. Alice is all kinds of things, but that ice won't grow any longer.

"Alice, what do you say?

"It's hard...... the balance, a little. And considering that there is no smelting formation, there is even more balance..."

"... I'm raving about no smelting formation, but that's technically different."

"Huh?"

"At the unconscious level, it means the smelting formation is up and running. Again, the alchemist can't cut off from the smelting formation no matter how far he says it is. That's just invisible, built into the process. By unconscious, I'm just making it look like I'm smelting without a formation at first glance. Well, to put it in detail, there's no kiri, so I'm saying no."

"Really...... so what if I could do it unconsciously with every process in the smelting formation?

"Right. If you can do that, then it's three balance issues. Anyone can smelt themselves without a smelting formation. It's just hard to get ahead of it. It takes a lot of training to get to the level of me and Fee."

"... ok. I'll do my best!

"That's the intention."

We practiced for about an hour after that, and we broke up. I didn't care about this before, I wish I could just concentrate on crops, but it's not outrageous. Indeed, it is an important mission to raise a successor. After selling the crop to the world, do you want to grow a legitimate successor as well... and when I go home thinking about that, the Fee one runs, as usual.

As always, he's a busy one.

"Phee, what's up?

"I got top secret information!!

"Of what?

"I hear there's Rafe Allan in Imperial City right now. It's a holiday tomorrow, let's go to the capital. It's a rare opportunity to listen to a Labyrinth Attacker!

"Hmm... right. I was definitely stuck about the labyrinth, too. Just fine."

"Then leave early tomorrow morning. Oh, because I'm taking Monica, too."

"Hmm? Ah... the three of us are attacking now. That would be nice."

"Well, hello!

That's what Phee said and went back to college. Perhaps we still have work to do.

This is how we headed for the Skull Empire.
