Chapter 67 - Potion Making?

Lou, Goemon and Koneko walk inside of the forest, they already encounter Slime but they easily eliminate it.

Based on Lou's 'Identify' Ability, slime here is only at level 1 to 3, like Green Slime, Yellow Slime, Blue Slime.

All of the slime here is a normal slime. He already got 10 of it in just an half hour of walking.

Koneko said," This mission is too easy, getting 10 Slime's Magic Core is just like a child's play for everyone"

Goemon nodded," That's right, I don't even know why they need to conduct training like this"

Lou said,'' This training is actually Survival Training, which means that you need to survive until the given time. Slime hunting is just an additional task for the students"

Goemon throws shuriken to a Slime in the distance she ran and picks the Magic Core from its corpse and walks back to give the Magic Core to Lou.

Lou sighed and said," This is getting boring, why not do something interesting?"

Goemon and Koneko ask," Like what?"

"Let's see who can get more magic core until dinner, the loser will be the one whos going to cook today"

Goemon and Koneko nodded," Deal"

Lou said," We will going to meet here after 3 hours"

Then the three start the Slaughter Fest, Goemon disappears and runs to the North-side, Koneko runs on the East-side while Lou walks calmly in the West and starts killing every Slime he see.

While walking Lou noticed some strange plant everywhere, he was curious so he used his 'Identify' ability to check it one by one.

And in his surprise, he discovers something interesting.

....

Peacebloom (Herb)

Used as an ingredient making minor potion by Alchemist.

....

Silverleaf

Used as an ingredient making minor potion by Alchemist.

...….

Lou come up with a stupid idea, why not make his own Knockoff Potion. After all, there's an abundance of herbs scattered around and he still has 3 hours until the two little girls come back.

Lou then decides to embark on a path that he should not take, he starts gathering herbs everywhere, sometimes he kills some slime he sees.

Meanwhile, some people in the monitor room notice Lou's strange behavior, Natsuki asks," What is that kid doing?"

Reine said," It looks like he is gathering some wild herbs Miss, Natsuki"

Natsuki asks," What is he going to do with those low-level herbs and some unknown plant?"

Reine thought," Maybe for cooking?"

Natsuki doubtfully said," Cooking?"

Reine said," Yes," then she shows Lou's status, skill, and ability to them and it shows that Lou has a skill in cooking, not only that it was also a high level too.

Pervert Principal said," Maybe the student is hungry and want to try some wild herbs for food"

Nobuna shook her head, she know that Lou did not gather all of that herb to used as cooking ingredient, he planning to do something stupid again, and Nobuna fell that and she is 100% sure.

They see that Lou walks near the river and wash all the herbs, based on how he did it fast and cleanly, they know that he is seasoned in doing this.

After that he takes a chopping board, a knife and a pot, he cleans them all and starts making fire.

Pervert Principal said," Just like what i said, he just want to cook that's all"

Lou then gets water and pour it in the pot, he let it boil for a few minutes and then he starts adding fine chop herbs inside of it.

While mixing it with a branch, the people start to be confused, they see that Lou only sees him adding herbs and that's all.

Reine suddenly said," I think I know what he is doing"

The Pervert Principal said," He is cooking right?"

Reine shook her head," I think he is making potion"

"Potion?" All of them exclaimed.

Pervert Principal said," Alchemist is not easy as you think, what he doing right now is cooking for me not potion-making"

All of them nodded, Reine said," No I think it's really a potion-making, did you guys notice that he actually used Peacebloom and Silverleaf ?"

"That herbs are the main ingredients in making Minor Healing Potion, you only think that he is cooking because he don't even estimate the ingredients that he boil"

"And the item he is using is not a cauldron but a cooking pot, but base on my study he actually making his own version of potion-making"

Natsuki asks," So he is a genius like Rikka Takanashi, the genius blacksmith?"

Reine shook her head," No we can still confirm it until he actually finishes making potion"

All of them nodded, she is right, they can only see if he is really a genius potion-maker after seeing the final product.

After a few minutes Lou stops mixing, he then takes the pot and places it in the river to cool it down.

Suddenly one teacher asks," If he is making a potion then where's the container? Or Vial for it?"

And the answer is, Lou did not even need a vail. They see Lou grab some cooled mixture and start making it like a pellet.

The Pervert Principal asks," Is he making a potion or making a mochi?"

Well, they can understand him after all, Lou is actually making a pellet out of that mixture while whistling in the riverbank.

After that, they wait for Lou to use it.

The Pervert Principal asks," Do you think he is going to get a bird and use it to experiment?"

Natsuki said," Maybe a rabbit or fish, that pellet is actually huge for birds"

They all wait to see Lou's next step, but they are all confused by his expression.

He was actually angry, yelling and shouting in the middle of the forest, and then he grabbed one pellet and threw it in the water.

Pervert Principal sigh and said," Maybe he failed"

All of them feel sad, they expect that their school produced another genius but he actually failed.

Suddenly they noticed something in the water, Reine hurriedly said," Everyone look!!

They all look back in the monitor and shock at what they see, the fish actually start floating from water, not only that some slime is floating too.

Natsuki asks," Are all of them dead?"

Reine nodded and said," Congratulation everyone, we discovered a genius Poison Maker!?"

Nobuna almost burst out laughing when she saw the angry face of Lou when he saw that he actually failed.
