142 Discussion With Johann
Samira went to Johann’s residence in Dominion District. They were here since they planned to watch the finals of the battle event.
“Samira! You finally decided to visit !” Anna pounced at her like a cat and embraced Samira in her arms. “You’re so busy working in Sir Aethelwolf’s clinic. How did you find ti to visit us?” She was happy to see Samira again.
Samira smiled gently at her. She treated Anna like her real sister. “Aethelwolf sent here to discuss sothing with Sir Johann. Is he here? I’d like to speak with him.”
Anna nodded her head and replied. “Grandpa is in his room. He should be studying sothing, but I will tell him that you are here so that he will co out to et you.” She laughed cheekily. “Follow upstairs.”
Samira nodded her head as she followed Anna to the second floor.
Knock! Knock! Knock!
“Grandpa, you have a visitor here.” Anna said as she knocked on the door.
“A visitor? Who is it?” An annoyed voice of an old man echoed inside the room.
.....
Anna apologetically glanced at Samira after hearing her grandpa’s tone. “It’s Samira. She wanted to discuss sothing with you.” Anna imdiately said to prevent her grandfather from saying sothing rude.
“Oh? Samira is here? Quick! Bring her inside!” The tone of the old man’s voice instantly took a drastic change.
Anna grinned as she opened the door. “Let’s go.” She whispered.
When they entered Johann’s room, they saw the old man sitting on his chair with a pile of books on his desk.
“Greetings, Sir Johann!” Samira greeted respectfully.
Johann imdiately pushed the piles of books on his desk aside before gesturing for Samira to sit down. “Take a seat first. What brings you here?” He smiled kindly at her. He then glared at his granddaughter and said. “Bring us so tea.”
Anna pouted with a disgruntled look on her face as she left the room.
Samira adjusted her sitting posture and put on a serious look as she said. “Aethelwolf sent here to talk with you about sothing. He is thinking about passing his pill recipes to soone he can trust to ensure the constant flow of pills for the clinic. He said that he will be very busy in the coming days so he might not have the ti to refine the pills himself. After all, he is the only one who knows our clinic’s pill recipes.”
Johann let out a smile as he said. “He wants to work for him, right?” He was a bit surprised that Aethelwolf would actually co knocking on his door to hire him. He wasn’t offended by this since it displayed Aethelwolf’s trust in him. Just that, the thought of working for soone didn’t cross his mind.
Samira nodded her head and continued. “That’s right. Aethelwolf said that other than the salary and incentives, he can also offer one more thing to Sir Johann if you are willing to accept his terms...” Samira deliberately paused for a mont to make the old man curious. “He said that he will help Sir Johann beco a Level 4 Alchemist within a month if you are willing to work for him. Other than that, I will ask Aethelwolf if he is also willing to teach Anna Alchemy. I believe that it will be beneficial for her if she receives Aethelwolf’s instructions.”
Johann’s eyes widened in shock and he beca silent. Aethelwolf can help him beco a Level 4 Alchemist in one month? It sounded impossible since it wasn’t so easy to reach that level even if one was under the guidance of a Level 4 Alchemist. However, he felt that Aethelwolf was a different person. The guy managed to help him recover his peak state and removed the ailnts in his body. It was sothing that he thought was incurable, but the man healed him like it was nothing significant.
Creak!
The door suddenly sprang open and Anna entered the room, holding a tray with three teacups and a teapot. She then silently poured tea into each cup and handed one to her grandfather and Samira.
Anna noticed that her grandfather’s face had beco solemn so she didn’t dare say anything.
“Thank you.” Samira whispered as she grabbed her tea and took a small sip.
After a minute of silence, Johann stared at Samira and asked. “Can he really help beco a Level 4 Alchemist?”
Samira smiled and nodded her head. “Although it sounds ridiculous, I believe that Aethelwolf can do it. Just recently, he helped his student beco a Level 1 Alchemist in just one night. His student also reached the peak stage of Level 1 from the mid stage, and this happened in just one night. The decision is yours to make, Sir Johann.” She smiled before taking another sip of her tea.
Anna who was listening on the sidelines suddenly jolted when she heard their conversation. ‘Sir Aethelwolf can help grandpa beco a Level 4 Alchemist?!’
Johann rubbed his chin as he entered into deep thinking. He has been running his own business for many years and it could run perfectly even without his presence. The only thing he wants to achieve in his remaining years was to beco a Level 4 Alchemist, but this seed impossible to him even after his years of research.
Johann stared at Samira with a deep look. If he accepts the terms, he would have the chance to study under Aethelwolf, a Level 4 Alchemist with unlimited potential. He has so misgivings since the man was a lot younger than him, but he hurriedly removed these thoughts. He had to let go of his pride if he wants to move forward.
The old man suddenly extended his hand to Samira and said with a smile. “It looks like we will be working together from now on, Samira. You have to look after this old man.”
Samira’s face blossod with a smile when she heard this. She shook hands with the old man and nodded her head eagerly. “Welco on board, Sir Johann.”
