DÉVOUEMENT anthology
~
a collection of stories related to my other twst book called "DÉVOUEMENT" that are canon to the story.
kindly read my other book to understand all the references, thank you <3
f/n loved alchemy lessons with professor crewel, mainly because she shares her mother's love for making potions as powerful as an experienced sorceress would make. her alchemy class for the day was supposed to create a potion that can alter one's voice. however, professor crewel warned them to use the exact measurements of ingredients as stated in the book, or else the result would be different.
unfortunately for f/n, she was partnered up with ace, who was busy balancing the pen on the tip of his nose, leaving the long-forgotten alchemy textbook on the desk. f/n sighed as she placed her hands on her hips, "now, ace. we still haven't completed the potion. don't slack off!"
"right, right~ i thought we have already gathered the ingredients?" asked ace.
"yes, but that doesn't mean the potion is already made, does it?" rebutted f/n.
ace groaned as he placed the pen on the book as he read the instructions out loud, "alright... one scoop of everything is all we need." f/n raised a brow at this and said, "...one scoop? you mean, even the mermaid scales are also measured in one scoop?"
"yeah," replied ace nonchalantly, "one scoop of everything, n/n."
f/n hummed suspiciously, but still did what ace had instructed. however, as soon as she placed a scoop of mermaid scales, ace panicked, "wait, wait! i read it wrong! mermaid scales are supposed to be measured by a pinch!"
"what?! i told you to make sure it was the right measurement!" argued f/n, "ugh... no matter, i should have checked it before placing the ingredients in the mix. we can try this again." ace sighed as he placed the book down. however, it was on the wrong position, causing him to accidentally knock off the beaker in which f/n was performing the experiment on.
as soon as the beaker fell to the ground, a large pink smoke covered f/n as she started coughing out and fanning it away. professor crewel immediately approached the two and said, "l/n, trappola! what is going on in here?!"
"i-i accidentally knocked out the beaker, sir! nothing too serious," replied ace before turning to look at f/n with wide eyes, "...or so i thought..."
"...what are you looking at?" asked f/n.
"...miss f/n, please rest in your dorm while i concoct a cure for you," said crewel as he walked away from the two.
