Twisted-Wonderland: Our Precious Treasure (Part 2)

(80) TMotDS: Get an Answer, Try It Now!

"Let's try this again," Riddle stated, looking up from his note to his junior who was walking next to him. "How do you brew wiggenweld potion?"

Jonah took a deep breath and nodded. "Okay." He raised both of his hands. His right hand moved as if he was pouring something from a bottle. "First, add salamander blood until it turns red." With his left hand, he moved like he was stirring something. "Then, stir it until it turned orange." He then repeated those actions as he continued listing the colors. "Keep adding salamander blood and stirring it so it changes color multiple times. Red, orange, yellow, then green." He pulled his left hand and changed his movement to somewhat resemblance to turning on a stove. "Then, keep adding salamander blood, but this time just heats it. It'll change color from turquoise, indigo, pink, purple, and finally red again." He quickly pulled his hand, stopping. "And then... Uh..." He tapped his chin, trying to think.

Riddle nodded. "Then?" he asked. "Something about Leona swimming..."

"Oh!" Jonah snapped his fingers. "Lionfish!" He raised his right hand again, moving it like he was dropping something, while his left hand moved like he was adjusting the stove heat. "Add the five lionfish spine, heat it until it turns yellow, then add five more. Then, we add fiber moccus."

"Ah!" Riddle raised his finger, moving it in a 'tut-tut-tut' motion. "Said it correctly."

Jonah frowned. "Uh... Fiber... No. Flounder."

Riddle sighed. "It rhymes with 'cobbler germ' and starts with 'flo'"

Jonah thought hard again. "Cobbler-germ... Flobber-germ... Flobbler-germ... Wait." He tapped his forehead. "Wait. I think. Flobbler... Flobber... Germ... Sperm... Worm..." He turned to Riddle. "Is it... 'Flobberworm'?"

Riddle nodded. "Correct! It's flobberworm mucus."

Jonah smiled widely. "Ah-ha! I got it!"

"But we're not done yet," Riddle added.

Jonah nodded. "Right." Jonah moved his hand again, his right hand was pouring something while his left hand stirred. "Add flobberworm mucus until it turns purple, then stir it until it became red. Repeat, so it changes color again from orange to yellow. Then add honey water until it turns turquoise color. After that, add a few drop of boom berry juice. Stir it and let it simmer for thirty minutes." His movement changed into a somewhat resemblance to moving a hot pot. "Take it off the heat, let it cool, and it can be used!"

Riddle smiled at him as he closed his book. "Well done."

Jonah did a little skip. "I did it!" He sighed. "I think I'm ready."

They stopped in front of Jonah's homeroom. The smaller boy turned to Riddle. "Thanks for helping, Senior Riddle. I'll return the notes after the exam."

Riddle nodded. "Not a problem. And uh..." Riddle averted his gaze. "Good luck."

Jonah grinned. "'Gotcha. You too."

Riddle walked away as Jonah walked into the classroom. Giving a small wave to Ace and Deuce across the room, Jonah headed to his seat where Grim was still reading his notes-book.

"So, for the application for this problem..." mumbled the cat, never realizing that Jonah had sat on the chair beside him. "If two choices remain, I simply..."

"Morning, Grim." Jonah tapped lightly on Grim's back.

"GYAAAH!" The cat jumped in his seat. He glared at Jonah. "Don't scare me like that! I'll forget everything!"

Jonah laughed. "Sorry, sorry~"

Grim huffed. "This is the last day of the exam." He grinned. "We better let out everything we got."
