‘Watson tormented me so severely; he was right to resurrect me. Do they think I’ll be grateful to him? What a joke! Watson had fooled those guys. Since I’m resurrected, I must work hard this time to surpass Watson again. ”
Augustus clenched his fists and swore in his heart. He quickened his pace and soon arrived at the classroom.
As soon as he entered the classroom, he found that the teacher had already started teaching. The female teacher frowned. “Augustus, it has been a long time since the class started. Please come in earlier next time. Otherwise, I won’t let you attend the class! Return to your seat so that you won’t affect the class.”
Augustus snorted coldly and did not show any reaction to those words. He went to the back row, not far away from Watson, and sat down.
At that point, the teacher began to explain again. As she explained, she also took out a potion from her bosom. The potion was black and white. It looked solid, exuding an ancient luster, but it did not have the intense fragrance of an ordinary potion.
“I believe that some of you have heard of that potion. Its name is the Blessing of the Gods and Demons. It is a platinum-tier potion developed by the Abedor family! After taking this potion, one can advance to a platinum-tier angel! However, that potion was bought by the Royal Academy at a high price. There is only one of them in the entire academy. Our topic today is that. ”
“Teacher, do you want us to create a platinum-tier potion? You really think too highly of us.”
A student tried to ridicule the teacher, causing a burst of laughter in the class.
Even though they laughed, everyone knew that the person was right. They might not even be able to make gold-tier potions. Even though the Royal Academy had dabbled in all aspects to nurture all-rounded talents, the students in the academy had some understanding of potions. However, they also understood that there was an insurmountable gap in producing platinum-tier potions.
“Of course, I know that you guys are unable to produce platinum-tier potions. Even I was unable to imitate that kind of potion! Fortunately, the student who made that kind of potion, Rose Weiser Abedor, is a member of the Royal Academy. With her help, the Royal Academy used that potion to produce a silver-tier imitation potion.
“That imitation potion doesn’t use water from the Spring of Life, so its effect isn’t as powerful as the Blessings of the Gods and Demons. However, it can also increase one’s strength and lengthen one’s lifespan by about a year. That potion has been named the Life-prolonging potion by the Royal Academy. That is your research project today.”
The teacher looked around the room. Her words made many students sigh in relief.
“So it’s a silver-tier potion. Then there shouldn’t be a problem. ”
‘We’re in the Royal Academy. Surely, we can imitate a platinum-tier potion and try to come up with a potion that is easier to make even though its effects aren’t good? Are we still worthy of our status?’ Watson sighed in his heart. He could not help but praise Rose Weiser, who was able to come up with such a potion.
He was right to recruit her. He was able to use the fusion technique to create a platinum-tier potion, but a genius like Rose Weiser was able to break down a platinum-tier potion and turn it into all sorts of potions. That was something he could not do.
The teacher quickly wrote down the prescription on the blackboard and ordered the students to prepare three sets of potions each. He wanted them to refine it on the spot. He would calculate each student’s class score according to the results. Those who failed three times would probably have difficulty passing the test.
“Is that life-prolonging potion really a silver-tier potion? Why does it feel more difficult than some gold-tier potions?” A student looked at the medicinal ingredients in front of him that had turned into a pile of black waste due to a mistake in the process. He scratched his hair in frustration.
Someone comforted him. “Don’t complain anymore. After all, it’s made by imitating a platinum-tier potion. It’s normal that it’s difficult to make! However, if we can master that potion, we’ll have gifts for our elders in the future.”
Some students complained about the difficulty of making it, while others began to imagine how their elders would praise them after learning about that potion. At that moment, a muffled sound suddenly came from the last row of seats.
Bang!
Everyone turned around and saw Augustus’ hand rolling with three kinds of silver-white liquid. They were all emitting the fragrance of life. At times, the silver-white liquid would change into the shape of a bird; at other times, it would change into the shape of a sturdy tree. It looked very magical.
“Isn’t a silver-tier potion too easy to refine? What’s wrong with you guys? How can you be called a Royal Academy student by taking so long?” Augustus said arrogantly as the silver-tier potion rolled in his hand.
His words made many students look unhappy. “Why are you so proud? If you have the ability, compete with Watson. We’re not the kingdom’s third genius anyway.”
Although they were unhappy, Augustus’ speed in refining the potion made them envious. Even the teacher gave Augustus a thumbs up and praised him for his amazing talent. There were both positive and negative aspects to that.
Compared to Augustus, the one who performed very poorly was a male student who was as strong as a small hill. The teacher was reprimanding him severely.
“Duke Piggy, who allowed you to eat in class? You did not refine the potion properly, but you used the chicken drumsticks. The taste of the potion will affect the other students. How can you refine a potion like that?”
The male student had a drumstick in his mouth. After hearing the teacher’s words, he stuffed the potion into his mouth and said, in a muffled voice, “Teacher, this is how I refine the potion. I have the ability to transform the food in my body! Look…”
After eating the potion and the drumstick, the male student opened his mouth and spat out an almost digested silver-white ball. It was similar to the potion that Augustus refined; the only difference was that the liquid contained a few strands of chicken meat. It looked a little disgusting.
A few students bent down to retch. The teacher’s expression changed as well. “Duke Piggy, how can you refine a potion like that? You’re wasting the resources. Do you understand? Get Out!”
Just as Duke Piggy struggled to get up and was about to leave his seat, a tender voice suddenly sounded.
Wait a minute.
It was Watson. He looked at the thing in front of Duke Piggy with a burning gaze and said, “If I’m not wrong, that potion isn’t made from the potion you swallowed just now. Instead, it’s made from chicken drumsticks. Am I right?”
“That’s right.”
Duke Piggy touched his hair with his greasy hand. When he spoke, the fat on his face trembled. He looked puzzled as if he did not understand why Watson suddenly approached him.
“Watson, have you finished your potion? It doesn’t matter if you haven’t. As one of the founders of the Blessings of the Gods and Demons potion, I know your strength. I will give you full marks.” The potion master immediately put on a gentle face. That attitude made many students curl their lips, but no one complained.
It was normal for Watson to receive such preferential treatment. Most of them would be jealous of Watson’s talent.
The only person dissatisfied with that was Augustus. “Watson, you haven’t finished your potion, yet you still have the time to care about other people. You really have a big heart. ”
Watson turned around and waved his hand. “Fusion system, activate.”
The three ingredients in front of him immediately fused, turning into a black and white bead.
“That is the Blessings of the Gods and Demons that I created. Without the water from the Spring of Life, it can only allow a person to advance to platinum-tier, but it cannot grant them eternal life. It can only increase a person’s lifespan by a few hundred years.”
Advancing to platinum-tier would increase one’s lifespan by a few hundred years. Watson was too brilliant!
“Teacher, this potion is my completed work. I only have one request. Please don’t make things difficult for me, and everyone will be fine.”
Watson handed the potion to the teacher. The potion teacher received the potion like a pilgrim receiving a gift from the gods. He said, “Watson, don’t worry. I won’t make things difficult for him. For your sake, Duke Piggy will always get full marks in my class.”
“Thank you, Teacher. Since the class is over, I won’t disturb you and the other students here.” Watson bowed and turned to look at Duke Piggy. “Hello, I wonder if you are interested in talking with me?”
His purpose for going to the Royal Academy was not to attend classes. With his strength, it was very difficult for him to learn anything new or useful here. He was there to scout for talents. It was the same recruitment plan he had used for Rose Weiser but version 2..0.
