The villainous young master just wants to live a Buddhist-like life.

　In addition, at least three bottles of cowgrass juice need to be extracted.

　Today is destined to be a busy and fulfilling day.

　the next day.

　on Monday.

　Professor Sylph took the opportunity during her summoning class to explain ritual summoning, and also mentioned Elsie Kevin's ritual during the rookie tournament.

　The summons was met with great praise.

　The second lesson followed immediately, and the magic class that the little mages had been looking forward to finally arrived!

　"Thinking back, it seems like it's been a long time since my last lab class."

　Diana's tone was filled with excitement.

　Her victory in the rookie competition earned her a net income of 150 credits, which she spent a considerable sum on materials!

　While most students were struggling to earn credits, Diana was riding high.

　However, when she turned her head and saw the large and small bags next to Dak's seat, she still felt ashamed of herself.

　She exclaimed in surprise, "DakDak, how many servings did you buy?!"

　Dakby pointed to a number.

　Diana covered her mouth: "Can you finish it in one class period?"

　Dark said casually, "Let's continue after class."

　Then he added, "While it's hot!"

　Professor Cazell arrived at the classroom a few minutes early, waved his magic wand, and chatted with the students for a few moments, his wrinkled face full of kindness.

　He was like a completely different person from his "drunk" state yesterday.

　People say that "you can see a person's true nature when they're drunk," so perhaps there's a cold side hidden in his heart as well.

　But everyone has multiple facets; a one-dimensional personality only appears when a character is deliberately designed to emphasize their traits.

　In certain novels, comics, or film and television works.

　"Jingle Bell!"

　The school bell rings precisely on time. It's like a dividing line separating the world inside and outside of class.

　No matter how much I'm preoccupied outside of class, I naturally calm down once I switch to class.

　Professor Kazel tapped the blackboard and slowly said, "The technique for creating [Ultimate Skill Cards] is not something I'm the only one who can do."

　Research is underway. However, everyone's research progress and results differ. Therefore, what I teach differs from what other mages teach.

　The items will not be the same. If any of you can master this skill of mine, you can claim to be my student if others ask about it in the future.”

　As soon as he finished speaking, the students below the stage began to whisper among themselves.

　The "student" that Professor Cazell refers to is clearly different from the "student" in the academic sense.

　That relationship was like that between Claire and Dark, a personal "master-apprentice" relationship with a transfer of skills.

　Much closer.

　Despite looking like an old goblin, Professor Kazel has a great reputation.

　As the last remaining alchemy master of the old era, simply mentioning his name will bring great benefits.

　Even a young, practical scholar like Claire cannot compare to Professor Cazell in terms of academic prestige.

　To be recognized as a "student" by him is obviously an honor!

　Everyone became excited.

　Even Dak couldn't help but take it more seriously.

　He and Professor Cazell did have a good relationship, but there was still a clear dividing line between them.

　If one can become a "student" recognized by the professor, then that dividing line can be blurred a little.

　Of all the professors in the first year, Professor Cazell was the one he respected the most.

　Sometimes he would subconsciously define him as a "kind and amiable grandfather".

　After a short interval.

　Professor Cazell continued, "Now let's review and delve deeper into what we learned in the last lesson. Remember to take notes."

　After he finished speaking, he lightly tapped the chalk with his wand, and the Dao alchemy array unfolded on the chalk.

　In just a moment, the chalk was transformed into something resembling a puppet through alchemy.

　He waved his wand gently, and the chalk jumped up on its own, beginning to write on the blackboard.

　This seemingly casual scene left Dak, sitting in the last row, stunned. He couldn't help but mutter, "If they have this kind of skill, why bother standing on a low stool and standing on tiptoe to painstakingly type?"

　Perhaps they didn't want to show off their skills.

　Perhaps it's about the unity of person and brush, requiring one to learn to write by hand.

　Who knows

　In short, thanks to the previous encouragement, the students' attitude towards note-taking has become significantly more positive.

　→Whether you understand it or not, just copy the notes first.

　About half an hour later, the review of theoretical knowledge and the demonstration of specific steps were completed.

　Students will have one hour to focus on their experiments.

　A quick glance reveals that most students have only prepared one set of materials, at most some consumable items.

　We prepared too much.

　However, as the core component, the expensive materials are generally only one or two different types.

　Given their limited knowledge, it would be difficult for them to determine the core material corresponding to a particular ultimate technique, requiring a high degree of accuracy.

　Prepare one or two items.

　Dak prepared [Magic Beast Hair] and [Pot Pot Brand Milk Grass Juice].

　Diana prepared a piece of nail clippings, supposedly from the claw of some kind of bear-like monster.

　Rose, on the other hand, prepared a piece of shell from a small mollusk that resembles a "zombie".

　The seashell is adorned with colorful crystals that glow in the sunlight.

　During the preparation phase, Dak couldn't resist taking advantage of his position in the last row to observe the other students' materials.

　He was more interested in Emma, ​​but Emma was sitting very upright, and from his angle he could only see a dazzling golden light.

　This reminded Dak of the Christmas gift Emma had given him—an ancient gold coin!

　“Where did she find so many ancient gold coins?” Darke looked exasperated.

　You can't just spend money like that on Qi Jin, can you?

　Dark looked away from Emma and naturally turned to Robert and Witt, who were also in the last row.

　Because the two of them seemed to have suddenly grown up in the past two weeks, no longer playing pranks in class, they definitely...

　Accumulate credits by cutting.

　Although we were still short of funds and the quality of the materials was questionable, we finally managed to gather enough for this experiment.

　Dak glanced at it briefly and saw a pile of mechanical parts on Robert's desk, unsure if he intended to extract them.

　What skill?

　On Victor's desk lay a small bottle of dark red liquid, seemingly a diluted form of blood.

　It's a bit hard to understand.

　"Everyone has their own path."

　Dark shook his head and then focused his attention on preparing for the experiment.

　The creation of a [Ultimate Skill Card] involves three core creation arrays.

　The first one is for "identification".

　The second function is "read".

　The third function is "reconstruction".

　These three core transmutation arrays were all adjusted by Professor Kazel; they are special transmutation arrays specifically designed for "ultimate attacks".

　They have no numbers and have not even been publicly released.

　Most students did not realize the value of these transmutation arrays.

　They simply followed the steps Professor Cazell wrote on the blackboard—bit by bit—and began to make it.

　Starting with brewing potions and processing materials, although mistakes were inevitable along the way, it went much more smoothly than the transmutation experiment last semester.

　Ultimately, the students who can enter St. Marian Academy are all above average in terms of magical talent.

　Even a fool like Diana has a very high magical talent.

　But a fool like Robert actually has a very good coordination between muscles and magic.

　In magical experiments, this means that the efficiency and control over magical energy transmission must be higher than that of ordinary people.

　As for a multi-talented genius like Wieter, it goes without saying.

　Professor Cazell paced back and forth in the classroom, nodding in satisfaction.

　His students' growth was evident to the naked eye, and as a professor, he also felt a sense of accomplishment.

　Soon after, he came to Dark's side.

　He didn't sober up until after noon yesterday.

　Then he recalled Dak's visit -

　Professor Kazel couldn't help but feel ashamed that he had sold magical beast fur to a student for 1000 credits per piece.

　I felt like covering my head.

　Headache!

　In the past, he was proud of his ability to remain sober even when drunk.

　Now, however, I wish I were the kind of person who could pass out from a single bout of drunkenness.

　Although the price of these 1000 credits is the market price, and most of the time there's no market for them, he is, after all, a professor, and he sells them to...

　Students will receive discounts.

　Basically, 1000 credits can buy three!

　But once something is sold, like water spilled, it can never be taken back.

　So he's already thinking about how to get back the 2000 extra credits that Dak paid.

　What does he need?

　Professor Cazell couldn't help but stop beside Darke.

　In his eyes, Dark's talent in magical experiments was extremely high, or rather, his talent in alchemy was extremely high!

　If so, he would definitely have taken him on as an alchemy apprentice in the previous era.

　But in this day and age, alchemy has become a thing of the past. Sometimes he thinks about it and feels that he shouldn't mislead people. Things like the [Netherworld God Technique], which are basic building techniques, are fine to teach, but not to mislead people.

　If you teach too many or too complex things from other systems, it may lead to something that becomes too big to handle.

　Because different systems may conflict on certain core concepts.

　When he transitioned from an alchemist to a mage, he went to great lengths to reverse his perceptions.

　I don't know when it started.

　Dak no longer felt uncomfortable with Professor Cazell standing behind him and observing him.

　His operation was as smooth as ever. He was able to correct any unavoidable mistakes in time, and the more than six times the amount of base materials gave him the leeway to redo the work.

　In about ten minutes, his table was filled with all sorts of materials, arranged in various dishes, beakers, petri dishes, and test tubes.
