Chapter 80: After Class
As expected, the alchemy lesson went pretty well. No one failed to make the potion, but a few wasted the materials so badly they could only fill a single vial, not any more.
Alice and Clea were unsurprisingly good, and just like Raelis, they produced perfect potions.
But so did Zeri, Raelis thought, turning toward her. She’s surprisingly good. But I guess her mother made her practice everything. Just like a doll.
Alchemy was pretty fun, and not hard at all. At least, this recipe wasn’t, anyway.
Soon enough, the students finished cleaning up, and just like that, the lesson ended.
"Good job, everyone. You’ve now learned how to make a basic Swiftness Potion. During the course of the week, I will show you alternatives to the recipe, something that produces a similar effect but uses completely different ingredients," Julian said with a smile.
"Most of those ingredients will be things you find on the battlefield, so whether it is bones, blood, or... you know... other stuff. It’ll be valuable, so do pay attention."
He clapped his hands once. "Class dismissed. Same time tomorrow. Oh, and you may keep a single potion for yourselves. Leave the rest here in the classroom. The academy will provide you with these potions the next time they’re necessary."
Just like that, the students dispersed.
"I’ll be heading out too. See you later, Raelis," Clea said and walked out of the classroom.
Shortly after, Zeri stood up and followed after Clea.
Just as she was about to step out of class, she shot Raelis one final smirk and left.
