Chapter 28: A Butcher
The room was so quiet Leon could hear his own heartbeat thudding in his ears. The word floated inside the orb, glowing faintly.
[ALCHEMIST]
'What's happening? Did I get a good class or what?' Leon wondered, his face carefully neutral despite the rising tension.
The elder nun broke the silence first, her voice calm yet pleased. "Well then... congratulations, child. You've received a good class and a bright future."
The crowd wasn't as kind.
"Isn't he a commoner?"
"Yeah, how can a commoner get that class?"
"I thought only nobles had such classes."
"Me too..."
Leon's eyes narrowed. He didn't like where this was going.
'So commoners aren't supposed to become Alchemists? Great. Just what I needed. Will the nobles come after me now? ...Screw this. I'll just hide my class and live like before,' he decided, keeping his expression unreadable as he turned and left the church.
