CHAPTER 25 – GROUP PROJECT (4)

“Huh.”

Baek Yu-seol’s words made Professor Maizen laugh. It was completely understandable. Previously, he might have been able to improve the performance of a potion by changing one or two ingredients, but this time was different.

How will he make a potion with the same performance even stronger in a different environment with completely different materials?

The Tyren Point Potion’s key ingredient was the Atarix spider’s shell.

Tyren Point Potion was inspired by Atarix spiders’ unique habit of removing their shells and laying eggs for their young on their own. As a result, the shell contained a tremendous amount of nutrients, and the vital supplement created based on it was Tyren Point Potion.

By the way, making a vitality supplement out of the tail of a fire mane lizard sounded too far-fetched.

Professor Maizen said, gently raising the corners of his lips.

“……That’s interesting. Can you make Tyren Point Potion with that material? Even I, who invented the potion, did not know.”

“Yeah. This is a recipe that our team members came up with.”

The members of Group 12 were taken aback by those words. Eisel in particular. Her expression could be interpreted as, ‘What do you mean, you madman?’

Clap! An alchemist from the Alchemy Castle applauded. He looked at Professor Maizen and Baek Yu-Seol with curiosity.

“Living as an alchemist, you’ll have all sorts of valuable experiences, but this one is very interesting. I really like this composition though. An alchemist should keep all possibilities open. How is it? We’re going to hold the disqualification process and continue.”

The other two alchemists nodded as well, wondering if the situation was amusing. Professor Maizen nodded, deciding that, while he didn’t like them giving Baek Yu-seol a chance, it wouldn’t change the outcome.

If Baek Yu-seol fails here, he will be humiliated twice as much.

“Good. The time limit is one hour. Complete the Tyren Point Potion in it. Oh, you can’t be confused, Baek Yoo-seol? It’s not a D-Vitality potion, but a Tiren Point Potion.”

“Of course. Unlike my professor, I have a good memory.”

“…yes, shall we get started?”

Professor Maizen swung his wand quickly as if he didn’t want to give Baek Yu-seol time to roll his hair.

Then a number was engraved on the blackboard, and the countdown started from an hour.

At that moment, the eyes of all the students suddenly changed and they reached out toward the lab table.

…Except for Baek Yu-Seol’s group.

“Are you crazy?!”

Eisel immediately urged him in a low voice. Maliwan also scolded in a timid voice.

“Yu, Yu-seol… No matter what, I don’t think this is right. Go, even if it hurts your pride. Sometimes you have to bend…  If you say you’re going to do something impossible, uh….”

These kids worry too much. Bake Yu-Seol said with a smirk.

“Trust me and follow me. Instead, you have to do exactly as I say. Can you do it?”

“…After all, there is nothing that can be done about it.”

Eisel said this desperately because she had no intention of arguing with the clock ticking. Baek Yu-seol had had no intention of wasting time.
