Alchemist After Possessing

60. Poison Specialist

60. Poison expert

After the undead incident, I attended the morning assembly for the first time. It must have been natural since he was supposed to start attending lectures from today. Shaiza’s 2nd year B class, which has been in attendance for a long time, is showing a distinctly different atmosphere from before.

First of all, Professor Marina May is smiling at me. Is it because the student is sitting next to me? I can’t hear any gossip about me at all.

“Woros. It’s really nice to listen to the inquiry with you from the morning. My condition is pretty good today. I think it will be a good day.”

“Is that so? Maybe it’s because I’ve been off for quite a while, so it’s already hard.”

“Actually, me too. I think I will be too tired today. Yes?”

Eva Eliseria, the head of Shaiza Year 2, is sitting next to me. She keeps talking to me Since I haven’t listened to lectures for several days, I wanted to listen to Professor Marina. Could there be a notice I should be aware of? But Eva kept talking, so I couldn’t hear anything Marina was saying.

From now on, I will avoid sitting next to Eva.

“Then let’s all fight today! And Worros students, please stop by me.”

After Marina said that, the students each got up from their seats to go to their lectures. As I also got up to meet Marina, Eva grabbed my collar.

“Woros, shall I wait?”

“… I know there is no lecture with you today, but is there a need for that?”

“That, right? Yeah that’s right Should I adjust the timetable? “

“Then Eva, see you later.”

I approached Marina with the hesitant Eva behind her. As I get right in front of me, Marina steps down from her platform, and she grabs my hand.

“Welcome, Woros student. I heard that you were hurt a lot, so you were worried a lot?”

“Hello. Professor, long time no see.”

“Yeah, I’m really glad that everything is better. I feel like I should give you this.”

So says Marina May, and she pulls out one of her papers from under the podium and hands it to me. It is impressive that she took out the paper in a position where a normal person would have to bend over, just by extending her arm.

I looked at the paper I got from Marina.

「Poison and antidote manufacturing confrontation」

“Actually… I thought I should tell you the outline of today’s class in advance. Everyone had been preparing for it a few days ago, so only the Woros students started at a disadvantage.”

“Looks like a class to make poisons and antidotes.”

“Right. With a time limit of 1 hour, make poison. Then create an antidote for the poison created by a randomly selected partner. That partner is analyzing the toxin made by the Woros students. You can think of it as exchanging and interpreting the poison that each other made.”

I nodded her head and put the paper Marina had handed over to her in her arms.

“Bur, you can’t put it in already! Take it out again! That… Below are the ingredients that will be served today!”

“It’s okay. I will look at the ingredients on site and improvise.”

“No! Everyone has been looking at the ingredients list for days and doing their personal research on what to make! Besides… Because it also includes bonus points.”

“The bottom line is that we can make a poison that no one can detoxify with the materials provided today.”

Marina shuts her mouth. I was thinking about something like that.

“That’s right, but… “

“Then let’s go. I’ll see you in class.”

“That… all right. Whoa, the Woros student ignored my goodwill. Today. Today! If you make a poison that will give you an antidote right away, I’ll be pissed off.”

“Don’t worry.”

This event is an event that also appears in the game, so I have a good grasp of the outline. Divide students into groups A and B, and pair students from other groups. Then make poison with the provided ingredients. Afterwards, the class swaps places with their partner and interprets the poison that each other has made to make an antidote.

The time limit is 1 hour each for poison and antidote production. If you think about the outline, you might think that the time is too short, but the items used to make the poison are provided by Marina May. It is a system that creates poison by selecting the desired item among those items.

So, the types of poison that can be made are limited. Of course, an antidote material suitable for the poison material provided is also provided, so an hour is enough. From the materials provided, it is necessary to create a poison that is as difficult to analyze as possible. It’s a system where you get extra points if your partner can’t interpret the poison you’ve created.

In short, the most important thing in this class is to hide as much as possible what materials I made poison with.

And it is to quickly notice and interpret what materials the opponent made poison to make an antidote. I’m studying alchemy with the book Shaiza left behind, and since I’m a player of the original game, I’m familiar with many recipes.

Of course, the recipe contains poison and an antidote. In addition, as Shaiza values human life, her textbook contains detailed information about poison, so she has studied considerably.

But isn’t my purpose to create an elixir that even Shaiza couldn’t make? That’s why he is working hard to research his own recipes that are not in the game award or in Shaiza’s textbooks.

I thought I wouldn’t be able to reach the Elixir if I just relied on game knowledge and recipes left by Shaiza, so I added my own research. Through this process, the quality of my alchemist is growing day by day.

‘It would be nice to test it now.’

As part of the training, instead of using Shaiza’s recipe, he decided to develop his own recipe on the spot to make poison.

Merina always disapproves of me and talks behind my back. A fact I found out today, Merina says she was a last name, not a first name. She says her name is Sally. She says her name is Celie Merina. Why is she suddenly telling her story?

“Anyway with you? Well, whoever won’t be able to interpret my poison in an hour… Are they the same?”

I was paired up with Sally Merina in poison and antidote making class. She says that and lets out a deep sigh. Then he met her eyes with her scattered friends and shook her head.

“Then, as announced in advance, you can freely choose the ingredients listed above and make poison! Before that, let me give you a simple warning.”

I heard the safety precautions. The content was very typical. Do not drink, do not smell, wear protective gear while working, and use only displayed materials.

It was when they were wearing protective equipment, distributed one set per person.

“Ha, but. I wanted to improve my skills while having an in-depth discussion about Admiral… If your partner is Woros Blood, even that would be difficult.”

Saying that, Sally Merina shook her head and walked towards the table where the ingredients were listed. To prevent cheating, my and Sally Merina’s workspaces are far apart, and the materials are displayed in different locations.

That means that she can’t come to me because of her movement, but she came here on purpose to spit out those words.

“…… “

I looked at Sally’s back and closed her eyes.

ㅡ’As before, if there are people ignoring me, I will persistently look for opportunities and take them down with my skills.’

This is the promise I made to Sotia a few days ago. I guess I have to fulfill that promise today.

I think I know the reason why Celie Merina is so aggressive. Shelly knows that she hates me in the first place and that she is serious about poison. She hasn’t been given a title yet, but she is a student who is called the ‘poison expert’ among the second year students of Shaiza.

She was even more excited because it was her own specialty. It seems that there is a need to show the gap and break that high nose bridge. I thought so and moved to the table where the ingredients were listed.

Ingredients for poisons and antidotes, as well as auxiliary materials to hide the poison, were all over the place. I looked around the ingredients, and without hesitation, I grabbed the necessary items and moved to my seat.

When it comes to making poison, the most important thing is, of course, killing power.

But Professor Marina didn’t have enough ingredients to make a poison that could instantly kill a person. Probably because of safety issues. If so, it means that all poisons with the same killing power come out.

What is the most important thing in such a situation? It’s just a cover up It means that the most important task is to prevent the poison I made from being read and the antidote coming out. In the first place, this class was also a class that considered that part. Even so, he had no intention of making a poison with weak killing power.

Because I am an alchemist. If there is no material for deadly poison, all you have to do is create deadly poison.

Thought so, I lined up all the materials I had brought.

Based on the material “Tracking Tortoise’s Tooth”. I plan to use 4 types of auxiliary materials, including “Mushroom Mushroom”, A material to conceal and strengthen the poison. By the way, the snapping turtle’s tooth is a material used to make an antidote for a poison that damages the target’s magical power.

The effect is to temporarily harden the gnawing flow of magical power. The second characteristic of Morakmorak Mushroom is discharge.

A sample of an interpreted poison that lost its lethal power through alchemical synthesis. Morakmorak Mushroom. And depending on the type of poison, combine ingredients that will destroy the poison. If you drink the antidote made in this way, smoke will come out through the wound.

It decomposes the poison, and the aftermath comes out through the wound. Of course, the amount of poison that can be attacked with Morakmorak Mushroom is limited. Anyway, the two ingredients I brought are both ingredients for the antidote. And I will make a poison based on these two items.

Students who work in the same area as me are laughing at the materials on my workbench. Only one. Only Professor Marina May is looking at me seriously.

“Whoa, a Woros student? Those two ingredients… “

“I know. In short, you can make poison with the ingredients on display. Do not worry. I will make a level of poison that can make an antidote with the ingredients provided.”

“That. Would you please? But to make poison with those two ingredients… When you think about it, isn’t it impossible? It seems possible… “

“Yes, the professor seems to understand what I am trying to make.”

I mean, while giggling can be heard, Marina May’s face is still serious.

“That… Student Woros, did you see the ingredients on the ingredient table? I think she chose the ingredients without hesitation. You said that it’s nothing else, but that you make a poison that can make an antidote out of the materials provided. I was wondering if you said that after looking at the ingredients for the antidote.”

“Yes.”

Professor Marina opened her eyes wide at my answer without hesitation.

“That’s right. Umm, you mean you looked at the poison to be made in that short moment and the ingredients for the antidote for that poison?”

“Yes.”

“Well then, I’ll look forward to it.”

Professor Marina May says so and she goes to the other student. If she puts her mind to it, she can create a level of poison that is impossible to manufacture an antidote with the ingredients provided by Marina May. However, if she did that, she would not fit the purpose of the class, so they agreed on this level in their own way.

“Then… “

I took out my hammer and struck it at the turtle’s teeth.
