My Magic Tools Are Selling Too Well

41 – Anti-Venom (3)

[Anti-Venom] was hugely popular upon its release.

A ‘comprehensive antidote’ that causes an immune response against all special poisons.

Highly compatible antidotes for all [Special Antidotes].

It came out with such a slogan, and the actual efficacy was the same…

It received much more attention than ordinary magic tools that have been released so far.

Besides, it is known that an antidote cannot be made,

Poison of Venom Arcus.

Being able to decipher their poison is the biggest reason why [Anti-Venom] is so famous.

In a way, it was a natural story.

Even though the fierce demon war was over, Venom Arcus was a sore finger to the people of the continent.

Too many people died from their poison, and if the poison was weak enough, many continued to suffer from poisoning.

Even Professor Bluecliffe had committed a crime he had prepared four years to avenge on them.

There were so many people who were still suffering because of them.

With an antidote proven to cure such poison being released, it was even more strange that it was not popular.

When I first developed [Anti-Venom], I agreed with Professor Meline and promised to patent it as soon as possible.

Unlike [Magic Shooter], which delayed patent applications purely for the purpose of profit, [Anti-Venom] was a magic tool that had some public interest.

While these magic tools usually cost too much for materials, there are many people who need them, so the demand reaches an excessive state.

That’s why it was good for the producer to issue a patent as soon as possible.

[Anti-Venom], whose patent was approved at the same time as it was released, has emerged as a hot topic not only for buyers but also for alchemists who are producers.

It costs a lot to produce, and it takes a lot of time to learn the manufacturing method, but…

If you make it, it’s a magical tool that has a definite consumer base.

If you were an alchemist who ran a high-quality alchemy shop, there was no reason not to make it.

Thanks to this, the supply of [Anti-Venom] is not in short supply, and stories of many patients who have been completely cured of addiction have been heard over their shoulders.

In other words, the judgment of Prof. Meline and I, who received the patent right away, was correct.

When I heard such a story, I couldn’t stop feeling good for no reason.

“Satchel, you’re laughing like an idiot again.”

Schnika, who was sitting next to me, woke me from my thoughts.

Right next to him, Luen was also sitting with an open book.

“Lazy Sacher.”

How long have you been hearing this?

It was one day that I left to explore the gate, but…

After that, I spent a lot of time producing [Anti-Venom], getting patents approved, and releasing magic tools.

In addition, to the investigation of the reference to the case of Professor Bluecliffe during the gate exploration.

Due to a series of shocking events, I had to take a break from school for about a week.

It was only after the incident was over to some extent that I was able to come to class.

“I’m coming in a week… Aren’t you happy?”

To my grumbling, Shunika replied with a hee-huh and a smile.

“Nice to meet you- Satchel is going to sleep again anyway. That’s why even if you’re just happy to see me like this, it’s of no use.”

“What are you really happy about? .”

“… Nice to meet you Sacher.”

“ha… .”

Hearing Shunica’s bright voice and Ruen’s incomprehensible buzzwords, I finally realized that I had returned to the academy.

In addition, we pretended not to be in the classroom, and we could feel the eyes peeking at us from all over the place.

Hearing the sound of my conversation with my friends, it seemed as if he recognized that I was Sacher Phillip.

… It is not self-consciousness.

Really, I’ve become that famous.

It was because the newspapers came out every day and posted articles about Professor Meline.

Roughly titled something like ＜The Historical Invention of Two Geniuses Between Teachers and Friends!＞.

Not only the empire, but all countries on the continent published articles like this.

I thought I was going to die of shame when I saw that, but Professor Meline didn’t seem to care.

However, I can understand some of the fuss about ＜Anti-Venom＞.

Recently, I’ve become famous for creating magic tools and winning the Colosseum, etc…

This work was not on a level that could be compared with the previous themes.

He conquered the extremely poisonous demon clan, ‘Venom Arcus’.

They were the scourge of mankind that appeared every time a war happened, and even after the war was over, they were a nightmare that haunted the people of the continent.

Being able to perfectly detoxify the poison they use was a weapon that could be of great help to mankind in the future demon war.

“Satchel, did you know there is a group assignment for this class?”

“Group assignment?!”

The sudden words of Schnika raised my voice without my knowledge.

This time, I apologized with a small nod of my head for the gaze that gathered openly, and quietly asked Shunika again.

“What group assignment?”

“… Satchel. Do you know the title of the lecture?”

“of course. That’s the understanding of dungeon exploration.”

“uh? how did you know?”

“Oh, really. It’s because I sleep a lot, I’m not lazy.”

Schunika made a surprised expression.

Not only her, but even Ruen’s eyes were wide open with surprise.

… that’s more annoying

For granted, he must have thought that I would not know the title of the lecture.

Are these my friends?

“Anyway, as the title suggests, exploring dungeons is the theme of this group assignment.”

“Exploring dungeons?”

dungeon exploration.

When I heard those words, the nightmare from a week ago naturally came to mind.

Professor Bluecliffe’s arbitrary expedition and the situation at the time of crisis.

Perhaps, if it had not been for Professor Python, our party might have been poisoned and died of poisoning without knowing why.

No matter how much I can make an antidote like [Anti-Venom], if I’m poisoned to the point where I can’t use my strength before making the antidote, it’s all in vain.

It’s been quite a while, and there won’t be many times in my life to explore such a special dungeon…

It was such a shocking event that my body reacted first.

“Wasn’t this a theory class? And it’s a sophomore subject, do you go to practice like that?”

“Yep. It’s not a dungeon raid, it’s literally at the level of exploration. You must only apply for E-grade or lower dungeons with the professor’s approval, and you don’t have to complete the raid. I guess you could go on an expedition together as a group and write a report about what you felt about it. ah! There is also an announcement.”

At that level, it was understandable.

Contrary to my worries, it seemed to be an exploration at a level that would be ambiguous to even call it practice.

Understanding dungeon exploration.

This course, opened by the Department of Special Education, is a general education course that teaches students general knowledge about dungeons and dungeon exploration.

Content that corresponds to the extension of ‘Understanding the Gate’, a liberal arts lecture learned in the first year.

Since the dungeon itself is a space that only occurs through special gates, it was also called ‘understanding of special gates’.

At the beginning of the semester, I remember Schnika urging me to take the class, saying, ‘This is the only subject the three of us can take together!’

If I had known there was a group assignment, I wouldn’t have skipped it then.

I was fooled by Schnika again.

“ah… I don’t want to do assignments with people I don’t know.”

Most academy undergraduates hate group assignments.

The reasons are almost the same.

This is because the results of the assignment may vary depending on the person because they are paired with someone they do not know.

If there is a member who does not participate in the task at all and only wants to board the completed result, the processing of the member becomes difficult.

While doing all the hardships of hard work until the result is produced.

For this most representative reason, lectures with group assignments were evaluated as subjects to be avoided.

My case is slightly different.

I’m rather worried that I’ll cause a nuisance.

Of course, I’m not a conscienceless person who wants to board without doing anything…

It was because I was so busy with things outside of class, and I didn’t think I would be able to pay much attention because I wasn’t interested in lectures.

That’s why I didn’t want to take classes with group assignments… .

But, as if telling her not to worry, Shunika smiled and shook her head.

“are you okay. Satchel will come with us.”

“yes?”

“Hi-Hi. If you are not in the same department, you can apply with a group of acquaintances you want. Those who aren’t are randomly created. Satchel, I and Ruen are already in the same group.”

indeed.

Schunika really has plans.

If a group is created like that, I will have no choice but to participate diligently.

Schunika will make that happen.

I tend to show more passion when I’m interested or when someone pushes me from behind.

Sure enough, Schnika’s excited look caught my eye.

It is clear that he was thinking of dungeon exploration as a picnic.

“Oh. Senior Karin asked me to say hello to Satchel.”

“uh?”

To that name that came out of nowhere.

Unknowingly, my head turned.

Schunika smiled and continued.

“It’s too bad that I couldn’t see your face. I’ll take a vacation during the next vacation, so I heard you’ll see me then.”

I also kept thinking that I hadn’t seen Karin since that day.

Because it was the day before the gate exploration, it seemed like I only had too little time.

I also thought about talking again when I come back.

But it seemed that he had just finished all his work and returned home.

Since each of us has our own business, it can’t be helped.

I’ll take a vacation during vacation, so I’ll see you…

Maybe it’s a story to see in the family.

I know that the relationship between my father and Karin is not very good right now, but when the three of us met, I felt like my head was already hurting how to coordinate.

“okay. Did the demonstration go well?”

“huh! Karin sunbaenim even fixed my posture! It’s such an honor… .”

“… Looks like you did well.”

After that, the lecture room, which had been noisy since the professor came in, became quiet.

I naturally fell on my desk and went to sleep.

Even though I didn’t take sleeping pills anymore, I felt sleepy when the lecture started.

When I asked Professor Melaine about this, he replied that it was the aftereffects of an overdose.

In particular, the sleeping pills I make are more effective, so the aftereffects will be stronger… .

I’ve been advised to reduce the frequency as much as possible, but this is not something I can control.

It’s a part that’s already embedded in my life like a routine.

Thinking that there was nothing they could do about it, he surrendered himself to the rushing tide.

…

…

And when I opened my eyes, the classroom was empty.

Shunika and Ruen also seemed to have left for the next class.

And next to…

Staring into space with a bewildered face,

A girl with light green hair was sitting.

“hello… senior… .”

Delia Bluecliffe.

At her gloomy greeting, I lifted myself up heavily.
