53 – Alchemist’s Day (1)

The Imperial Alchemy Society, located near the imperial palace, was quite far from the academy called the center of the ecliptic.

A distance that can be reached by consuming a considerable amount of time even if it is driven by a wagon.

Thanks to that, Professor Melaine and I were on our way to the Alchemy Society in the same carriage for the first time since the last gate exploration.

I turned my gaze away from the window and glanced at Professor Melaine, who was reading the newspaper.

Make sure to read from noble mtl dot com

Jet-black hair down to his waist and brown eyes that shone noblely.

A beautiful appearance and well-proportioned body that seems to support the atmosphere.

Especially, unlike usual, he was wearing a suit for an invitation to a conference.

Her dignity as a professor seemed to shine more brightly.

There are so many pretty people around me, so I thought I was immune to the appearance… .

Somehow, when I looked at Professor Melaine, I felt like I was staring at me in awe.

“What’s on my face?”

She, who had been quietly reading the newspaper, spoke without looking away.

ah.

I glanced at it, but it seemed like I could feel the gaze.

Well, if you look at me like that and don’t notice, you’re an idiot.

“ah… that… .”

“… … ?”

Professor Melaine’s puzzled gaze reached me.

Scratching my head, I responded with an excuse I could barely come up with.

“that… the suit… It suits you very well. hahahaha. It was so pretty that I kept looking at it without even realizing it.”

ruined.

All I could think of was “the clothes look good on me”… .

It’s obvious that anyone who sees it will think it’s strange.

“is it? hmm, hmm… . What a funny joke.”

But maybe it worked for Professor Melaine, she looked at the newspaper she was trying to read with a puzzled face.

… … .

no, does this work?

Well, it’s true that suits look good on you.

It’s not a lie that I saw it because it’s so pretty, but… .

I didn’t know that Professor Melin, who is strict about work, would have such a finite part.

No, I know, but it’s the first time I’ve seen him so flustered.

Unexpectedly, I thought that she might be a person who is weak in compliments.

I didn’t miss the opportunity that came, and I naturally started talking and continued the conversation.

“professor. What would you like to focus on in today’s special lecture?”

To that question, Professor Melaine met my gaze once again.

“hmm. Didn’t I tell you?”

“yes. He told me to prepare for Q&A only, but he didn’t say anything… .”

Professor Melaine closed the newspaper he was reading for a while and rummaged through the magic bag placed next to him.

And one magic tool he took out.

It was a vial containing a potion shimmering in deep red.

It seemed unreasonable to see it as a stamina potion because it had a strong turbid feel.

She handed me the potion and said.

“Read the emotion information once.”

[Berserk]

-Type: Potion

-Producer: Lapuri Meline

-When administered, a stimulant that temporarily amplifies the muscle mass of the administerer by reacting with the magic power inherent in the body of the administerer. If it is difficult to control it because it explosively increases muscle strength and mana, a berserk phenomenon occurs. In addition, when the awakening effect ends, the administerer may experience some aftereffects due to the asymmetry of magical power.

just as expected.

It was a stimulant potion that I had never seen before.

“Professor, this is… ?”

“hmm. I made it using the manufacturing method and the magic response mechanism when making Anti-Venom. Unlike other stimulants on the market, we expect to see a much more destructive and powerful awakening effect.”

I blinked several times and looked alternately between Potion and Professor Meline.

‘I made it’… .

Is this an invention that can be expressed in such a simple sentence?

[Berserk].

This magical tool created by Professor Meline was, as she said, a stimulant that seemed to actively utilize the mechanism of [Anti-Venom].

Unlike ordinary stimulants that only administer the magic and amplifying effects contained in the potion.

[Berserk] was an extreme stimulant that stimulated the user’s body’s mana and the muscles themselves, raising the user’s strength and mana to the maximum level he could handle.

Looking at the fact that the ‘excitement phenomenon’ could occur and the explanation that it could cause aftereffects after use, it was definitely a high-end stimulant that was much more powerful than existing stimulants and had some risks.

“… When did you make this?”

“About a week from the day after the anti-venom patent was finalized.”

“… … .”

At that simple answer, my bewildered gaze landed on her.

You created such a magic tool in one week after starting to create?

Besides, it hasn’t been long since I learned the production mechanism of [Anti-Venom]… ?

a few days ago.

There was no need to argue about whether Ariel was better or I was better.

A real genius was right in front of him.

It’s a talent that specializes in potion production, but…

Conversely, when it came to potion production, it was a crazy talent that would give any alchemist a turn.

Professor Melaine continued in a normal voice, as if it wasn’t such a big deal.

“Sacher. How much do you know about Alchemist Day?”

To that question, I thought for a moment and answered.

“uh… A place where alchemists and related scholars gather and discuss… ? I know that much.”

“hmm. That’s not wrong. To be precise, it is a forum for discussing newly established theories or new papers, and reinterpreting or discussing past papers or related knowledge. It can be seen as an academic event of a completely different nature from the Magic Tool Festival, which exhibits creative magic tools.”

In fact, this is also the reason why I was a bit reluctant to attend this event.

An event where many scholars and alchemists gather in one place to talk about the knowledge and theories they have accumulated over the past year.

An event attended by famous alchemists from around the world, academy faculty members, and famous academic members.

Of course, it was not a place to be taken lightly.

If you even make a presentation at such a place, there will be considerable criticism from a cool perspective.

Although I have made my name known to the continental alchemists, I was wondering if I could really attend this event as a sophomore undergraduate.

Of course, thanks to Professor Melaine’s strong support, I gained confidence.

“However, the anti-venom patent paper we created has already been read by numerous alchemists, and it is also a theory that has been interpreted and verified. I was invited by the society, but it doesn’t mean much to spend 3 hours explaining about it.”

“It is.”

I nodded, and Professor Melaine nodded in return, raising her glasses slightly.

“So, in this lecture, I am going to explain the structure in which the magic tool itself responds to the related magic power of the user, which was the core mechanism of Anti-Venom.”

“ah… !”

I opened my eyes wide at the thought that flashed through my head like lightning.

This was the reason why she suddenly handed me a new magic tool, [Berserk].

“hmm. The magic tool that is the core of the explanation is this stimulant. Following Anti-Venom, this new magic tool with a similar structure will give strength to our theories and lectures.”

After hearing the story, I thought about it and asked her with a thought that came to my mind.

“It’s not even a magic tool festival, but won’t other alchemists protest because they brought creative magic tools?”

“It won’t matter. After all, this is just an auxiliary role to help explain patent papers and new theories. Everyone must be busy figuring out the new theory.”

indeed.

It was a clean and sober judgment worthy of Professor Melin.

I felt thankful that I was learning a little bit of work under such a person.

Lafury Melline.

Contrary to her stiff-looking first impression, she was surprisingly a professor with a lot to learn from.

“And, Sacher, I intend to jointly produce a patent for this magic tool with you.”

At her sudden words, my eyes widened once again.

“yes? why?”

Why a sudden co-production?

It was the first time I knew that there was such a magic tool today… ?

“hmm. If it wasn’t for you, Berserk wouldn’t have been made. It’s safe to say that Berserk is an Anti-Venom’s transforming magic tool… The key person who created that Anti-Venom is Sacher, you.”

Professor Meline calmly continued his explanation.

Even if you understand something… Is it my imagination to feel forced?

“No, anyway… Also, didn’t the professor just invent the mechanism that makes the magic tool itself respond to magic? That’s the part the professor came up with when making Anti-Venom… .”

“That invention wouldn’t have come about without the vessel of Anti-Venom.”

As if he had already made up his mind, Professor Melaine said that and listened to the newspaper again.

“The patent fee rate won’t be that big either. I’m thinking about 8:2… .”

And one more word to add.

Those last words cleared my confused mind.

So now.

In the magic tool made by the professor.

You mean to put a spoon on it carefully, right?

“professor… !!”

I can’t control my happy heart for a moment.

I got up from my seat and hugged Professor Meline tightly.

“thank you! I love you, Professor!”

“Uh, what… !! Get off, Sacher!”

Professor Meline, who suddenly hugged me, screamed in surprise.

How are you?

I’m so happy right now that I want to stroke the professor’s head.

Although it is a surprising invention, [Anti-Venom], a type of special antidote, has a certain demand.

In addition, because the price was too high, once the purchasing storm raged, surprisingly not many productions took place.

On the other hand, [Berserk], which Professor Meline showed today, has a very wide audience.

It is a highly utilized combat magic tool that any melee warrior can use, and it will be quite effective when dealing with monsters in dungeons and fields.

Of course, there will be a lot of production, and the incoming patent fee will be huge.

Patent fees for magic tools that are expected to generate such explosive profits.
