SPLASH

Suddenly, the substances finished mixing, and the new product dropped to the ground, the swirling pool of mana immediately dispersing back into the air, freely roaming the dirty lab we were in.

“Ughā€¦ whateverā€¦” Wu rolled her eyes before lifting up her finger, arching the substance into my mouth.

I tried my best to ignore its properties and focus on the flavorā€¦ and well, it was sour and bitter but strangely sweet as well.

“Still grossā€¦”

I finished swallowing the substance, a lingering taste of metal hanging in the back of my throat, but besides that, everything was pretty fine.

It didn’t taste as bad as I expected, and the thought of it being urine was immediately wiped from my mindā€¦ especially when a beautiful well, crafted panel graciously appeared in front of me.

[Your HP has risen by two points]

My head immediately snapped towards Wu, my eyelashes fluttering as I quickly approached her, grabbing both hands and lightly lowering my head towards them.

“Master, thank you for the guidanceā€¦ now please tell me where can I get those ingredients-?”

Wu quickly pushed me away before she could even consider following through with my request, and well, it turned out exactly like I expected.

“Welpā€¦ how unfortunate. I guess the world has to know of that massive mole at the very bottom of your back. God, is it disgusting. I really held myself back earlier from saying anything, but now I just can’t help but look back at its grotesque nature. It was practically a mountain on your backā€¦ wowā€¦ so horrible. Such a beautiful woman is ruined by such a thingā€¦ it would be a shame if the entire city knew,” I smirked, kicking my feet back in my chair, waiting for the woman to come begging, but all she did was graze her eyes over me and shrug.

“Sure, whatever. I know you want more of that potion, but those ingredients are hella expensive. So, if you want more of that, then go get a job, you lazy bum. I could care less about what others think of me.”

“Well, it was worth a shot.”

“Then next time, try to pick something better to blackmail me with. And anyway, did you get the skill, or did you just waste my time? If you didn’t get it right now, then you have no hope of being an alchemist, and I’ll have to drop you as a student-“

“Oh, I got it,” I smiled before grabbing two random herbs, but before Wu could stop me, I looked at the panel floating in front of me and activated the skill. “[Assimilation].”

Suddenly, the two ingredients glowed a bright yellow, slowly shimmering with golden particles that rose into the air, enveloping both herbs.

The one that looked like a root melted and then encased the one that looked like a long rough, and pointy leaf.

Both fused and fused before dropping onto the table, revealing a brown leaf. But before I could inspect it or even take a look at it, I felt a fist connect with my chin.

“What the hell is wrong with you!” Wu shouted, attempting to push me down, but I was much stronger and heavier than her. She stood absolutely no chance against me.

“What? Was it expensive? These all look like things I can just pick up off the groundā€¦ are they seriously expensive?” I acted dumb, but in reality, it was fun teasing her, and I was going to be sure to pay her back later on.

For now, she was cute when she was angry and especially fun to play around with due to her constantly fluctuating emotions.

“You’re like a teenager girl,” I chuckled, blocking her flurry of punches that genuinely tried to hit and injure me with all their might. Yet, it was a pitiful attempt against my skillful blocking and constantly on-alert pupils.

“Oh, shut up! You owe me so much money you’ll practically be begging for forgiveness when I give you the bill!”

“I’m sorry, can you please forgive me,” I fluttered my eyelashes yet again, but of course, she didn’t fall for it and just pushed me away, back onto my chair.

“Tchā€¦ lesson’s over for todayā€¦ don’t joke around like thatā€¦ now I’m taking this. You’re lucky the assimilation succeeded because they’re both from dry and sandy climates. If they’re two opposing items, then the success rate of them fusing is practically zero. But if they are complete opposites, then the success rate is near one hundred percent. Even a complete newbie can fuse two polar opposite things togetherā€¦ so don’t get too cocky! Now out! GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY LAB!”

“Yes, ma’am~,” I smiled, laughing the entire way out of her lab and then being kicked off into the streets.

“God, you’re so annoying. Now go find the old man. Lesson is over early todayā€¦ and don’t go fusing things without my permission! You could seriously end up injuring yourself or somebody else if you aren’t careful! OKAY!?”

“Yes, ma’am!” I replied, and as the woman shut the wooden door in my face, I glanced up at my skills.

“First of allā€¦ the thing I’m most curious about is how this even works,” I muttered under my breath while picking myself up.

I briskly brushed the dirt off of my pants and shirt and walked down the bustling streets of this now-thriving trading center.

“Okayā€¦ it should work like thisā€¦ I’m assumingā€¦”
