Putting aside the highly important matter for now, Villin made his way toward the 'Combat Classes'. This ti Pompei taught them so theory on offensive magic. How to maximize damage and the like. This did make Villin happy since he wasn't really in the mood to fight right now.
And so, without any further ado, he got to go to his room. With only pill-making left to do in the evening. Villin thought about professor ssen's words for a long ti. He knew he couldn't stretch his skills too thin. Ti was extrely important and since he already did enchanting, pill-making, and magic arrays and was planning to learn wand-making atop of that he was already lacking ti.
That being said professor ssen's words were extrely attractive for him. The speed or agility increase was, of course, good but if it was just that he probably would barely even consider the matter. What he was interested in was the fact that the professor ntioned that if he got skilled at making gene solutions he would never have to sleep again.
This ant that if he spent so ti getting good at it initially he would later have even more ti to practice all of his other skills. It was this fact along with the fact that making gene solutions barely required any magic power that made him decide to go for it.
He would continue translating the book on enchantnts and study the hidden manual within.
For now, though, he had pill-making class. He brought his small cauldron and made his way toward the designated classroom. The old teacher that went by the na Crystal was already there, and even though she had a kind face and acted nicely toward everyone Villin got the creeps as soon as he arrived in the class and saw her.
He also noticed Pierson, who was just as nervous as last ti he saw him, looking at him and the downcast Kayley occasionally and sweating bullets.
The pill-making class was truly extraordinary. For the first hour, they simply went through the theory. Pills are made of two things, items, and magic. Each table had a small contraption that could hold their cauldrons. When they inserted magic power into the device a fla would appear. Half of the pill-making process was getting the heat just right at the correct monts.
The problem there was that oftentis the heat should be constantly shifting to different places of the cauldron and hence the process was very difficult. The second part of pill-making laid within the items, with the vast majority of pills these were herbs, sotis animal parts were also used. You had to have the amounts just right, they had to be inserted at the right ti and in the right place within the cauldron.
For the second hour, they were allowed to try and make a pill. It was a rather basic pill that had a small amount of healing power. The people from class A got five sets of materials to work with and those of class B got three sets. Both groups could buy more at a price slightly below the market price.
In the end, Villin managed to make two pills out of the three sets. Kayley got three pills out of the sa amount causing her to have the best success rate by far. This was so even though she looked terrible right now, sothing that should've co because of her punishnt the previous ti. At the end of the class, Villin got fifty magic crystals for a great performance.
When the class ended Pierson still looked oh-so-nervous and so Villin finally decided to approach him. The last ti they t Villin still thought Pierson was simply hesitating because he was looking for trouble. But he no longer thought in that way.
It was understandable to be nervous when planning to attack soone but Pierson looked more terrified than anything else. And so when Villin walked up to Pierson's table just as class ended, he asked "Pierson, I've noticed you can't seem to stop staring at , is sothing the matter?"
Pierson looked at him and gulped, sweat dripping down from his forehead. After a few seconds, he started speaking.
"You should take your friend and leave, the scho-"
Just as he got that far another voice ca from deeper within the classroom. It was Crystal who was busy looking through so of her papers.
"Pierson co over here and give a hand. Now!"
Hearing these words Pierson froze, for a mont he looked frantically, his eyes jumping around and his hand noticeably shaking. But then he turned toward the teacher and a smile ca onto his face.
"Yes miss, it's a pleasure to be of service."
Villin felt a terrible premonition as he quickly left the classroom, sowhat afraid Crystal would call upon him.
He could feel that sothing was happening. He felt as if he was a part of this thing all along without noticing. It was as if all the clues were there but he just couldn't put it together.
In a hurry, Villin made his way toward his room. Closing the door behind him he clutched his head within his hands trying to find out what it was he was missing. He realized that even before Pierson spoke with him he knew sothing was wrong, he already had a premonition sothing bad was coming but he simply thought he was paranoid.
"What is happening and why is Pierson warning ?"
He just couldn't understand it. All he knew was that he could not leave the school. The school had a large amount of powerful magus, even the teachers in the first grade were extraordinarily powerful. He hoped that as long as he stayed within the school and swiftly increased his strength, he would be able to survive whatever calamity was coming.
