Side Chapter 1: Altasia's Pet Project

Professor Altasia Skye held back a laugh from the Novel she was reading as she was having Tea with Professor Hathaway Mills. This had always been their way of getting to know each other even back when Altasia was still a student during her time in Axis, nowadays most of the students spend time with their professors through watching Dramas on TV in the Common Room but both Altasia and Hathaway prefer more quiet places to enjoy their time.

"Sounds like someone is enjoying their book a little too much," Hathaway looked at her with an amused smile as he finished reading Lady Immaculate and Lord Scholar and place it on the table. "I honestly feel like a fool for trying to read a poorly written Romance Novel."

"I'll have you know it's a Masterpiece," Altasia said narrowing her eyes on the older Professor. "As for your question, yes I am enjoying the book you lent me as apparently mentions of a love potion—" Hathaway scoffs. "—exactly, apparently with some bullshit ingredients."

"Please I doubt you can simulate a person's attraction with something like that." Hathaway smiled, causing Altasia to look away shyly.

"Indeed." Altasia thought as she reread the part on the Love Potion, despite being a Combat Professor she was very much an Alchemist at Heart. Something that she and Hathaway share a similar interest in. She placed her book on the table and nodded at him.

"I'll see you later." She said while thinking about the possibilities in her head "You better not be doing what I think you're about to do." Hathaway raised an eyebrow at her. "You know me too well." She smiled at him as she left.

"You're my former student," Hathaway rolled his eyes as he finished his tea. "Of course, I would."

Inside the Alchemy Lab, Altasia took her time if sorting out the right ingredients that she needed to be able to simulate a potion that should be able to increase a person's Pheromone attraction towards a certain person. Which itself is nothing short of a Love Potion. Her reasoning for simply making this you may ask? Why she simply wanted to see if it was possible, if not then what harm can this bring?

Nine hours, Five accidental fires, and Three chemical attack scare later. Altasia had managed to replicate a potion, however, instead of increasing the attraction of whoever took it with the sender, it would instead trigger a scent that reminds someone that they are attracted to, meaning each subject would have their own scent. She found about this as the scent itself reminded her of the smell of Chamomile Tea, Pastries, and old books.

"Now then," She pulled out a clipboard, remembering that all the first-year students are coming here to pass their respective homework. She can use this as an opportunity to 'test' the mixture on the students and what they can smell and list down the observations.

"Professor Skye?" Thomas accompanied by Ren, Ester, and Oscar from his Class arrived carrying their copies of their homework entered the Lab, and found her occupied in writing down notes.

"Hmm? Oh Hello." Professor Skye smiled at them as she finished writing something on her notepad. "Can I help you?"

"We're here to pass our homework," Thomas said as he handed her the said homework with Ren, Ester, and Oscar lining up behind him, meanwhile he caught the scent of something being made next to her.

Smells nice. Thomas noted as they caught a scent of what she is brewing on a nearby pot. "What are you working on Professor?"

"It's a little pet project." Altasia smiled at him. "Why'd you ask?"

"I just think it smells nice," Thomas said with a shrug. "Like women's shampoo or something."

"You use Women's shampoo?" Ester asked behind them.
