Master Of None

Walker smirked a little seeing that onyx was becoming much more adept at sensing the mana around him. It was due to careful training, but also because Onyx wanted to ensure that he was teaching the hatchlings the nest. ”Midnight, shouldn’t you be inside with the hatchlings under your care?” Walker was sure that Midnight wouldn’t just abandon them in the stands.

Midnight’s indignant huff made Walker feel that she was ready to spit fire at him. She was clearly saying that she had made sure they were all in their spots safe and sound before she had followed her nose to the. It was just her way of checking up on him after she noticed that he had left so quickly.

”Alright, don’t look at me like that. Let’s go and see what Remey has to say. She sounds like she has started announcing the winners in order.” Walker followed behind Su to the coliseum which was already being moved around by the many guards and alchemy guild staff. They had to clean things up so that the coliseum could be used by Scylla next.

”In the final places are our fine talented winners. Some were not expected and some were ready to show off their hard earned skills. I hope that everyone is willing to greet them when you see them on their way to classes to learn from their mentors!” Remey was sure to have the winners of each side of the competition come to the central arena to accept their praise. These would be prominent alchemy guild members in the future.

”As a final gift to everyone that has shown up here today in support , please focus your attention here. I will be showing off the brand new affinity potions we are about to unveil on order only!” Rmeey had been waiting for this along with the rest of the alchemy guild.

Many people had heard her working because there was a lot of annoyed yelling when the potion had not worked. The old master alchemist and Trish had the same luck with it at first, but between the four of them, they had become successful.

The light and darkness affinity potions were already created within their limited tiers. However, we have not only improved the formulas to make the low tier better but also created a new fire affinity potion. These three potion formulas are different due to the hard to find ingredients taken from the lava lands. Along with this, extreme control of multiple elemental manas creates one of each of these potions at a time.”

The stunned gasps of many were heard. The potion process using the burning light leaves had not yielded multiple potions of one kind but singular potions of three kinds. It was something unheard of in the alchemy world. It was ground breaking research.

Along with myself and my fellow guild masters, the fourth participant in this new formula and research path was my own family member; Onyx! Everyone knows him as the new teacher to the, one day, world recognized abyssal serpent race, but now you can wave at him and thank him for the many new potions that we will be creating with this theory!”

Remey held up the different affinity potions that had been created. ”Furthermore, to vouch for the quality, I have two special guests in the audience. Please welcome The royal fire dragon; Ignus. The royal Darkness dragon; Mordant. The two have brilliant control of both darkness and fire elemental mana and can test these potions for us now. Please feel free to greet them later and ask them about the efficacy!” Remey knew this was a blatant ploy to build a relationship with Ignus and Mordant further. However, it was not a problem since Ignus and Mordant wanted these potions.

”Now that was a smart move. You get your fame which will help you in your goals to bring up the abyssal serpents. Ignus and Mordant get the potions they will want for free, and they will also become walking advertisements.” Walker felt that Remey had become uniquely tricky the more she had focused on the alchemy side of her skills.

”That means it’s my turn!” Scylla landed next to Remey with a thud. ”As everyone knows, there are many competitions happening within the walls of this great city. Next, we have the preparations for the coliseum to hear the first cries of battle. Do not get too excited though, we have a serious challenge first!”

The crowd was consumed by their curiosity. ”Without proper armor, weapons, and accessories a battle would be boring to watch. That means there is only one thing we need!” Scylla waved a hand and the wandering blacksmith entered the arena in front of everyone.
