Kapitel 18: Potion
Returning from the herb shop of that overly curious old man with a small beard and head covered with bandages as if he hit his head somewhere, she entered the training room.
The training room was huge. There was a basketball court-sized training field with dummies on one side and a circle below each.
These circles could be used to adjust dummies' endurance capacity and regeneration, granting students the flexibility to test how effective their magic or attack could be.
It was also where Ciobara and her friends had been meditating since last week. There were four rooms on one side of the training room each for a different purpose.
One was with apparatus for potion making, the second one was for blacksmith students, and like so were the other two rooms.
There was also a restroom, making it possible to train in the room for extended intervals of time.
This was the best room they could get with the credits they had, if Asa didn't share a few credits with her she would be broke now.
Ciobara entered the alchemy room where the apparatus for basic potions was present, this wasn't something grand like an alchemy furnace or a beast flame here it was a normal one.
The apparatus consisted of an herb grinder and a few other tools like test tubes and knives. There wasn't any sort of flame present for heating.
She figured that freshmen were supposed to get the flame themselves or maybe not as she found a circle that lit a fire with a little bit more intensity than flame generated by everyday fire magic.
That flame would be enough for the potion she was going to make. Potion making began with grinding herbs.
The grinder consisted of a mortar and pestle. Grinding the herbs into a paste she now had to heat and add some distilled water in.
(A/N: should I add an illustration in the comment)
Now came the phase of heating the liquid so that it could mix better and create a basic potion, but there was one ingredient left: blood.
[Sapid Sagine]
She added in the generated blood after heating the potion and letting it cool down which would also have an effect in further enhancing its effectiveness, each step was carried out meticulously.
During the potion concoction, the drug had no effect on her concentration. First, the drug's effects were weak, and second, whenever Ciobara was working, she was so focused that nothing could distract her.
Ciobara was a perfectionist and her OCD would not let her ignore the imperfect condition of being affected by some low-level drug.
She had a red potion ready in fifteen minutes, which he emptied into her mouth once it had cooled sufficiently
"I'm exhausted," Asa said as she entered the training room descended the stairs near the door directly went to the training area, and sat down to rest.
"What happened," Ciobara suddenly asked after getting out of the potion room.
"Argh…" Asa suddenly shrieked due to the unexpected appearance.
"pfft, look at you, Haha, so what's up?" said Ciobara amused by Asa's reaction to her sudden appearance
"Stop it! will you?" Asa pouted at her friend's teasing then continued seriously, "Why are you here already and why did you skip the practice class?"
"Nothing much I wanted to make a few potions" she dropped the bomb nonchalantly.
"Eh… what!!! Do you even know how to create potions, what is it that you don't know?" Asa was feeling amazed at the revelation.
"I cannot do what a blacksmith does," she replied with indifference.
"Seriously? You know everything else?" Asa felt her friend was getting crazier by the minute.
"Not everything." Ciobara responded and continued "let's go we need to go somewhere, tomorrow is a special day so let's skip today, we need to go to an auction."
"Auction you mean 'that' auction. But I don't think freshman credits work there" Asa said wondering how would they even
"Gold still works I know in the academy it's below credits but it should work fine at least as gold coins should still hold some value."
In this world, the main universal currency was called Gold. It is accepted anywhere in the world.
This currency consists of bronze, copper, silver, gold, and platinum coins, each successive coin except platinum coins is 100 previous coins.
For example, 100 bronze coins would be equivalent to one copper coin, and so on to gold coins. One platinum coin is 1000 gold coins.
But platinum coins were mostly considered coins for the privileged no one other than nobility, highest ranked professionals like Archmages, or S-rank adventurers could hold them.
"Are we not going to wait for Yaseang?" Asa asked.
"We need to go to the bank first hopefully my father sent some gold as I am now, I won't even be able to buy anything."
"Who needs money" Yaseang entered the training room with a heavy sword bigger than himself put over his shoulder and asked while grinning.
"Great, he is here let's go" Asa held her hand and dragged her out.
Like this, all of them now headed toward the bank where Ciobara found out she could only take 1 gold coin.
Ciobara took her friend to the rendezvous point where her roommates had agreed to meet up. She introduced them to her friends.
"Hisanori and Eleana meet my friends Asa… and Yaseang" she pointed at both Yaseang and Asa, now pointing at her roommates she introduced "Hisanori… and Eleana"
"So, you're that Asa girl she kept blabbering on about nya," Hisanori said while Eleana just waved her hand and got back to reading her book.
"Hi, I'm Asa," Asa said timidly as if afraid the cat girl would bite.
"Yaseang nice to meet you" while Yaseang forwarded his hand for a handshake Hisanori was about to shake hands when-
"I'm Eleana, nice to meet you" Eleana grabbed his hand and wildly shook "sorry…" she said while releasing it when she realized what she was doing and went beet red.
She grabbed her book and immediately started reading leaving Yaseang wondering what just happened.
Like this, the group of five left for the academy city auction house.
Entering the market zone, they found themselves in front of a grandiose huge building. The building consisted of five floors and a red carpet was placed on its entrance.
Two knights were keeping the security of the place.
Ciobara and friends got in line for entry and waited for their turn, but it seemed they wouldn't be entering without some conflict.
"What's this Yaseang you didn't tell us you were dating already" A boy with blonde hair asked out of nowhere.
It seemed the cause of the conflict was jealousy "Come on man tell us, how you managed to even get that famous girl who rejects everyone to your side?" another boy pointed toward Hisanori.
"Shut the fuck up you idiots, people should never insert their nose where it doesn't belong"
"Jealous, aren't you? Even such a high noble like you doesn't have a single girl in your group" Ciobara suddenly said with a chuckle "Guess not everyone with looks is handsome"
Ciobara's sudden intervention had Yaseang confused thinking 'Does she know my true identity; how can she be so blunt against a prince?'
"Y-you, guards throw these poor trashes away they would only hinder the auction" the blonde boy said enraged at her words.
It was certainly funny how a twelve-year-old was paying attention to someone having girls in their group. Though it was nothing more than that.
"Student, do not forget in this academy royalty, nobility, and anything related does not exist only thing that matters here is your credits" One of the guard shocked the prince with these words.
