"Nas, today we are going to have basic training in alchemy." Gerlin raised his head and stared at the young apprentice beside him. Nas was bending over slightly, sorting out a pile of materials on the table.

"Teacher, I'm ready!" Her voice was clear and firm, revealing an unyielding fighting spirit. Nas was dressed simply, her clothes were not gorgeous but neat, her hair was tied into a high ponytail, and a few strands of hair on her forehead were slightly sweaty due to training, which made her look even more charming and cute.

"Very good." Gerlin smiled, slowly stood up, and walked to a pile of materials. He pointed them out to Nas one by one, "We must first use these materials to make a basic recovery potion. You must observe every step carefully."

"I will, please rest assured." Nas' eyes were filled with excitement, and she quickly focused her attention on the table. Her fingers gently ran over the materials, each with a unique smell and color. She had been curious about alchemy since she was a child, and now she could finally practice it under the guidance of Gerling, and she was particularly excited.

Seeing how focused she was, Gerlin decided to further test her understanding. "So, Nas, first of all, what kind of material do we need as the base of the potion?"

Nas thought for a moment and replied, "It's the crystal dew. It can enhance the efficacy of the medicine and is not easily offset by other ingredients."

"Very good." Gerlin nodded approvingly and pointed to a small bottle beside him. "Go get a bottle of crystal dew. Next, we need to add some moon grass to bring about the healing effect."

"Moonlight grass, I understand." She did as she was told and placed the materials on the table one by one. The sunlight shone through the window and onto her face, making it appear brighter.

As the materials were prepared and the refining process was about to begin, Gerling suddenly said seriously, "Remember, alchemy is not just a simple combination of materials, but also an understanding of their essence and soul. Every drop of potion carries your intentions and emotions."

"I understand." Nas nodded vigorously, with a lot of thoughts in her mind. Although she knew the surface of alchemy, the teacher's words were like a revelation, making her realize the depth and importance of it. She closed her eyes, felt the breath of the materials, and tried to integrate her inner emotions and desires into the upcoming refining.

"Let's get started." Gerlin's voice was gentle but firm. He stood aside and observed Nas's actions. Nas slowly uncorked the bottle of crystal dew and gently poured it into the alchemy pot. The clear liquid shone with a faint light.

"Next, add the moongrass," Gerlin reminded.

Nas carefully put the moonlight grass into the pot, and immediately a rich fragrance spread. In her heart, she seemed to feel the power of the grass, as if it was cheering for her efforts. She carefully observed the changes in the pot, silently reciting each step in her heart.

"Wait a moment, we'll start heating it," Gerling said, his eyes gleaming with anticipation. "The temperature must be kept within an appropriate range. If it's too high, it will destroy the properties of the ingredients."

"Understood!" Nasi concentrated on adjusting the flame to a moderate state, turning the herbs in her hands, her lips slightly parted, as if she was silently chanting some kind of spell. As time passed, the color of the potion gradually turned light blue, emitting a gentle glow.

"It looks good." Gerlin nodded with satisfaction, and then added, "But don't be too complacent. Adjust the size of the flame and let the potion slowly blend at a low temperature."

"Understood!" Nas adjusted the flame to an increasingly gentler level, and stared intently at the potion bubbling in the pot, constantly thinking in her mind how to mix it to achieve the best effect.

A few hours passed, and with Nas's careful control, the color of the potion became brighter. Finally, Gerlin stood up, walked to her side, and whispered: "Now, we are going to move on to the last step and add the flower of the soul. Here, you need to focus on your intention and tell the potion what you want it to achieve."

"Flower of the soul..." Nas whispered to herself, with hope in her eyes. She carefully placed a delicate blue petal into the boiling potion. As the petal was incorporated, the potion instantly emitted a blue glow, as if responding to her wish.

"Very good. Keep this in mind and put your emotions into it." Gellin watched the color change. "Now, whisper the effect you want the potion to have."

"I hope this potion can heal all wounded souls..." Nas closed her eyes, her voice weak but firm, as if her wishes and expectations had been integrated into the potion.

As she whispered, the potion stopped fluctuating and became gentle and stable, as if it had sensed the magnificent emotions. Gerlin stood quietly by, admiring all this, feeling secretly relieved.

"It's done!" Nas finally opened her eyes, unable to hide her excitement. She looked at Gerlin excitedly, "Look, this potion has become so beautiful! Did I really succeed?"

"Yes." Gerlin smiled and responded, "But this is just the beginning. Remember, the true value of alchemy lies in the awakening of the soul and self-dialogue. Every refining is a communication with the heart."

"Teacher, you are right." Nas nodded seriously, her eyes emitting vision and thinking about the future, "I will continue to work hard and live up to your expectations."

"Then, next is the actual combat training of magic." Gerlin put away the potion and turned to walk towards the training ground. Nas mustered up the courage to follow him. She knew that the combination of alchemy and magic would make her more competitive in this world.

The training ground was a wide open space covered with traces of magic circles. Gerlin stood in the center, looking solemn and his eyes as sharp as a knife. "Today, we will conduct actual combat training, focusing on the control of instantaneous casting."

"Yes!" Nas immediately straightened her back and responded seriously, her heart full of fighting spirit.

"Then the first step is to choose the spell you are best at and show it to me," Gerlin instructed.

Nas thought for a moment and made a firm decision. She raised her hand, took a deep breath, a determined look appeared on her face, and then she whispered a spell. "Breeze Blade, come on!"

A faint blue light suddenly appeared in the air, and condensed into a sharp wind blade at Nas's fingertips. She held her breath, concentrating on controlling the direction of the wind blade, and threw it forward easily.
