Chapter 3: Chapter

“So, it was just the mother wanting to spend more ti with ?” Athos asked.

“That’s right son. Your mother doesn’t know how to be honest, so try to take it easy on her, ok?” Said Robert with a wry smile on his face.

“OK.” Athos replied.

“Great! Now let’s start class.” Robert said with an expectant look. “First, show how you made the potion last night.”

Athos obeyed his father, showing him step by step until finishing the potion.

“There! It’s the sa as you do, isn’t it?” Athos asked in a smug tone.

“Yes, it’s the sa as what I do.” Robert sighed. “And that confird my suspicions.”

.....

“Um? What suspicions?” Athos asked confused.

“That you have no idea what you’re doing.” Robert answered brusquely. “You just copied what I did, but you didn’t learn anything from it.”

“It’s not true! I learned from you-” Athos tried to refute, but was prevented from continuing.

“So tell , why do you need to use a flower petal of light? Why do you need to mix it with water for the potion to work? Why does it need to be boiled and not just mixed?” Robert asked.

“Well, let’s start with the thod you used to create this.” Robert took the potion from his hand as he spoke. “It’s called extraction. Everything in this world has mana and that includes plants. The problem is that every living thing has a unique type of energy.”

“Our bodies reject any energy other than our own or the pure world mana. That’s why we alchemists created this thod to be able to harness the magical properties of plants and the like without being poisoned by their energy.”

“By mixing it with water and vaporizing, the water obtains the healing properties of light flowers without their energy signature.” At this part Robert paused and looked at Athos to make sure he was following along.

“Why does water do that?” Athos asked confused

“Because when you boil a petal of light next to water, it makes it fall apart and the light elent mixes with the water.” Robert replied. “Sothing more?”

“What happens if I use a fire flower petal then?” Athos asked curiously.

“In that case you would create a minor fire resistance potion.” Robert replied seeing that Athos had no more questions he decided to continue the class.” And that brings us to the next topic: potion ratings.”

“As you’ve noticed, potions have different ratings: Minor
