CH 45.3

The First Batch of Potions (3)

After repeating this a dozen times, the original 13 different raw materials had become one whole. Originally, the extract came in various colors, but the “goddess’ breath” that was made was colorless and transparent, and looked no different from water.

Of course ordinary people couldn’t feel anything, but Anna, as a mage, could feel the elemental energy contained in it.

Anna looked at the potion she made and compared it with Leon’s. There seemed to be no difference.

And only then did she realize that Leon said he would point out if she did something wrong, but she was done, and he still hadn’t said anything.

When she looked sideways, Leon’s always serious face was a little bit more exclaimed. He took the potion that Anna had just made, shook it in front of his eyes, and took another sip.

“Wait…” Anna exclaimed, and then immediately stopped.

That’s right, this was a potion that could be drunk; it wasn’t actually a real chemical experiment where you couldn’t casually drink the reagents…

However, how could Leon dare to drink the first potion made by a novice like her? Even if he was not poisoned to death, was he not afraid of diarrhea?

“Very good.” Leon put down the beaker and looked at Anna with a complicated expression, but his eyes were a little bright, “I first met a mage’s discipline that can make potions so well for the first time.”

Teacher Leon praised her again!

Anna was really happy when she heard this. It seemed that when Dubian said that her talent was good, he was not brown nosing her. Then, could she also rely on potions to make money?

Imagine making a bunch of “Goddess’ Breath” and selling them in the crowded downtown. The civilians would have no doubt about the credibility of her potion because of her association badge, and they would buy five, ten bottles to bring home. She would make a lot of money and no longer have to worry about a situation where she couldn’t afford the mage robe and couldn’t take the exam; she felt like she was on cloud 9.

Hold on.

A mage going to set up a stall, no prestige at all; how foolish would she look? Just as she set up the street stall, the Mage Association would probably arrest her because she was insulting the reputation of the association…

“Teacher Leon, this is all because you taught well!” Anna said very modestly, “I didn’t know anything about half an hour ago.”

Leon smiled. He found that his “student” was really sweet-mouthed, but didn’t make others feel like she was brown nosing.

“You’ve already learned ‘Goddess’ Breath’; next, I will teach you several other potions that often appear in the one-star assessment.” Leon said.

Today’s class was actually two consecutive classes, a total of two hours.

Because Anna learnt fast, Leon taught her four potions, all of which could be mastered by a mage at the disciple stage.

When the time came, Anna still had some dissatisfaction. This was the last of her free courses.

“Teacher Leon, can I take these potions home?” Anna asked, pointing to the ten bottles of potions the two had just made.

“Go ahead.” Leon didn’t care about them. As he packed his things, he said suddenly, “The next one-star assessment is in two months, I think you can go for it.”

“Okay, Teacher Leon, I will prepare well for it.” Anna nodded quickly. That was what she had planned originally.

When Leon walked to the door, he turned around and said: “Your introductory course is over, but if you have any academic problems, you can come ask me.”

“Okay, thank you Tea—Mage Leon!” Anna said gratefully. A teacher she could latch onto! Although she couldn’t squatter his gold coins, she could squatter his knowledge. What would she need a bicycle for?*

Leon looked like a stern noble; she didn’t expect him to be quite nice.

Anna watched Leon leave, her feelings of reluctance faded a lot because of his promise. She tied up the potions in the narrow-necked bottle with a rope so that they hung on one string. Then she walked out of the potion lab.

Because she lived close by, Anna decided to go back first and give the potion to Givina. When she went downstairs in the morning, she heard Givina coughing. On the way home, she bought two more sets of clothes. Otherwise, if the weather was bad, she would not have a set of clothes to wear while the other ones were in the wash.

Anna went to the same women’s clothing shop where she bought her clothes for the first time. It happened that the clerk was still the previous clerk, and the other party still remembered her. Naturally, the clerk had changed her manner from last time. She greeted Anna with a smile on her face. “Respectable Mage, there are some new shipments of women’s clothing in the store. Would you like to see them?”

Anna smiled slightly: “I want to look at the cheaper ones, I can’t afford the expensive ones as I’m tight on money.”

The clerk’s smile didn’t change and she said: “Okay, please wait a moment.”

She hurried to pick and choose, and finally pushed six pieces of clothes in front of Anna on a movable hanger, and said with a smile: “These are all at the same price point as the one you’re wearing. Do you need me to introduce them to you?”

“No need.” Anna didn’t come to make trouble for her, she just thought the clothes in this store were very comfortable to wear, so she came again. Among the six clothes, she finally chose two riding outfits.
