39 – Anti-Venom (1)

Inside a room in an inn.

The inn room, which was prepared only for sleep and relaxation, was crude but had been remodeled into a workshop in its own way.

We got a total of 5 rooms at this inn.

The number calculated for Professor Python’s treatment, Professor Bluecliffe’s monitoring, and each professor’s rest.

All the tables placed one by one in each room were brought to this room, the materials were organized, and the room was treated with special magical power so that it would not be disturbed during production.

Thanks to this, Professor Melaine and I were able to calmly craft the antidote, regardless of the clutter around us.

“professor. Finished making the second bowl. I’ll put it here.”

“hmm.”

As if Professor Meline was completely engrossed in the production, he answered without even looking away.

We were now splitting up the antidote production process, making our own.

The venom of Venom Arcus is a special magical poison that cannot be cured with ordinary antidotes.

As much as it exerts great power, its handling is careful, and because of this, it is different from general antidotes in the manufacturing process.

So, the production process of the ‘Venom Arcus Exclusive’ [Special Antidote] that I make is largely divided into two parts.

First, you need to make a ‘bowl’.

Prior to the stage of curing poisoning and driving out special magical powers.

A bowl as a magic tool itself that makes it possible to respond to the nature and magic of this special detoxification.

Interestingly, [Denim Rape] and [Karlent twigs], which are considered the most important in making an antidote, are not included in this bowl.

These two materials are the most representative divine materials in alchemy and crafting magic, and they are essential materials that do not fall into the production of all antidotes from low to high class.

All alchemists who make antidotes prioritized these materials, and along with the Mana Stone, they were universal materials that were in constant demand.

However, this process is omitted in the production of the [Special Antidote] bowl.

To be precise, it is pushed to the second production stage.

So, even if this bowl is produced, it is not recognized as a finished product as a ‘magical tool’.

After completing the vessel in this way, the extracted special magic power or medium and the magical power of this vessel are attempted.

Since the structure of each object’s magic circuit is complicated and the process of sensing is complicated, the magic response at this time takes quite a long time unlike the simple procedure.

And with the finished response, combine the two divine materials mentioned above to finish the production.

It was the moment when the [Special Antidote] was completely produced as a magic tool.

Both of these two-pronged production processes take quite a long time.

Making the bowl takes about 2-3 hours.

Magic response is about 3-4 hours.

Even if I, who has a unique ability to respond, proceed as quickly as possible, it barely cuts down an hour.

Considering all of this, the production of the [Special Antidote] had to be estimated to take about 5-6 hours for just one object.

It was the reason we stayed up all night and divided the production of the antidote.

“But it is strange.”

While sweating and immersed in production, Professor Meline opened his mouth.

I’ve been working on it for over 4 hours already.

Unlike the nervous beginning, before I knew it, both she and I were relaxed enough to have a conversation.

“What do you mean?”

When asked calmly, Professor Meline continued with her usual blunt face.

“I don’t pay much attention to rumors within the undergraduate school, but… Sacher, I have often heard of you.”

“which… ”

“The reason why you are called a lazy genius. He said that there were many lectures where he got an F because he was late for the exam due to oversleeping and oversleeping. Also, once you fall asleep, you have to wake up strongly to wake up.”

Sacher Philippe is a genius, but he sleeps too much.

When someone introduces me, it was a word that I naturally followed.

There were quite a few things that I lost a lot of sleep in my life, but one of them was about reputation like this.

I think sleep and sincerity are two different concepts, but people don’t think so.

Many would assume that I was a lazy person because I slept a lot.

“At first, I thought that narcolepsy was a symptom of a disease that had suddenly settled down in the body. There is no way to explain your oversleeping, unless it is an illness.”

Professor Melaine’s straight brown eyes fell on me for a moment.

There was no significant change in her expression.

“By the way, I’ve never seen you doze off or fall asleep, Sacher, during the time we worked together.”

At that moment, my body stopped.

Come to think of it, I don’t think I’ve ever seen her doze or sleep in front of her.

There was also a condition that she had to actively follow the undergraduate work, but the more specific reason was that working with her was fun.

It was fun exchanging jokes and nonsense, and it wasn’t boring doing business together.

In particular, there was much to learn from her original alchemy.

I received a lot of advice from Professor Melaine on things I didn’t know, and these points gradually filled up the shortcomings of alchemy that I had established myself.

It wasn’t for nothing that I considered her a teacher at the academy.

“Besides, even on a day like today when I have to stay up all night, I don’t see any sleepiness at all. ”

“Ah, that… ”

I tried to come up with an excuse like a habit, but I kept my mouth shut.

Yesterday morning, when I entered the gate, I remembered Professor Melaine’s face, who said, ‘I hope you trust the professor in charge.’

If I made excuses like this, I felt like I was betraying the girl who gave me my trust in the first place.

But the embarrassment didn’t last long.

This is because Professor Meline relaxed the atmosphere by eating and laughing.

“You don’t have to be so nervous. I have no intention of asking too deeply. It literally just felt weird.”

“ah… .”

“but.”

As if to keep this in mind,

Her deep eyes turned to me.

“Sleep induction by magic tools puts a strain on the body as the number of times accumulates. Even without being conscious of it, abnormal symptoms appear little by little, and if they become severe, they can cause severe cognitive dissonance.”

By that time, I stopped thinking further.

She already knew everything.

That my excessive sleep is a self-inflicted symptom.

I personally confirmed today that symptoms change depending on convenience, so it was probably natural.

Even so, I didn’t ask much about the reason.

Matters that could be problematic have already been resolved by the faculty itself.

However, use beyond the recommended amount…

He was just worried that his pupil might get hurt.

Perhaps the reason why I suddenly brought up this story was to give advice on this.

“I’ll take care of it, but I’ll take care of it. I hope you always keep this in mind. You have to take care of your own health.”

With that said, Professor Meline turned his attention to the antidote he was working on again.

He didn’t seem to have any intention of asking more questions or digging further.

for that warm consideration.

I nodded with a blank face.

“… I’ll keep that in mind. professor.”

if there is a chance someday

I hope the time will come when I can explain to her the reason as well.

I had a sudden thought.

* * *

The time devoted to making the antidote was already over 10 hours.

The time zone was already past dawn and was running toward morning.

“Sacher. Would you like to come here for a while?”

However, Professor Meline, who was concentrating on production, suddenly called me.

As I approached, she was contemplating something with the completed 5 [Special Antidotes] on the table.

“What are you doing?”

“The recipe for this special antidote you made.”

“yes.”

Professor Melaine went on to look at the finished antidote.

“I felt it while making it, but the structure is almost the same. A method of making a bowl with the ingredients and finishing the production by inducing it according to the special magic power. Only the special magic power for the poison is different, but the rest of the process feels like a certain mechanism exists.”

“yes that’s right. This is something I learned about while making an antidote for Venom Arcus four years ago. So now I can make an antidote for any kind of venom. It’s because the basic structure is the same, only the special magic power that is applied is different.”

As long as I have the vector of the poison used by Venom Arcus or the special magic power of that poison, I can make the antidote unconditionally.

This is what I realized 4 years ago while frantically making an antidote to treat Karin.

The result was five antidotes made overnight.

It was a custom antidote for Professor Python.

However, Professor Meline tilted her head in a strange way.

“Then Sacher. When making this bowl of antidote, can’t we twist the circuit in such a way that it permeates the special magic power instead of accepting it?”

“yes? of course… ”

of course…

There was no reason to say no.

I pondered over what she suggested.

It’s something I hadn’t even thought about.

I thought that the response between the circuits must be intervened by an alchemist, but I have never tried to make a magic tool to be able to finish it myself.

no.

Is that even possible in the first place?

Changing the direction of the existing magic circuit?

“Wait a minute.”

As if solving my doubts.

Professor Meline gathered the remaining materials and started making a new bowl.

I also stuck by her side, assisted her, and helped her with new research.

Has it been about 2 hours?

Professor Meline’s imagination has become a reality.

Finally, we have succeeded in creating a new antidote.

“this… .”

My voice trembled a little when I saw the finished product.

The reason was simple.

[Please set the name of the magic tool]

This is because the ‘Hero System’ was declaring that this magic tool we had newly created was a correct invention.

“professor. this… ”

As I looked at Professor Meline in bewilderment,

She nodded her head with a relaxed expression.

“You name it. It’s a magic tool made based on your recipe.”

Until now, countless ‘Venom Arcus exclusive’ [special antidotes] have been produced, but there has never been any information to set a new name for them.

In other words, all of them were regarded as the domain of [special antidotes] that had been previously invented, although the types were different.

But this antidote is different.

We were allowed to be given a name as a new antidote, and it informed us that we had succeeded in inventing magic tools.

“Anti… Anti-Venom.”

I thought of a suitable name and spit it out.

At the same time as naming it, the appraisal of the new magic tool was completed.

[Anti Venom]

-Type: Potion

-Producer: Sacher Phillip / Lapuri Meline (jointly)

-When administered, a special antidote that reacts with the special magical poison that permeates the body of the administering agent and causes detoxification. It can be detoxified against all special poisons that cannot be cured by general antidotes. Since no sacred materials were used in the production, healing must be done along with divine magic.

Literally, it is different from ‘comprehensive antidote’.

As long as I can receive the assistance of divine magic, even if I don’t do any special response work.

It was explained that the response of the poison and the antidote could be completed just by administration.

10 hours at most.

Today we spent 10 hours on the [special antidote].

The result is that it feels like a waste of time.

The person who made the result in just two hours,

I watched with blank eyes.

I forgot one thing.

A fact that I forgot for a while while making an antidote all night.

that.

Lafury Melline.

My professor, she…

It was that he was a specialist in ‘potion making’, different from other alchemists.
