2nd day, the month of Regust, the year 1661.
The next day in the store alchemy lab, Vayne stare at a pot of boiling herbs with a deadpan expression.
The whole boiling process would only take 10 minutes, it's not that long and there are also the need to add a few more ingredients while boiling.
But as to why he looks that way, it is because with his current Agility and intelligent status, the world he perceived are much much slower than normal.
It is as if someone put the world in a 1/32 slow mode speed while he is moving at 5.5x speed.
Of course, with training he managed to reduce the difference in his time perception and the world so it's only moving at 1/8 speed and him at 3.25x speed.
But doing activities that requires him to wait has become hell since, this of course did not escape Fiona observation and are now what she do to punish him.
He is task to prepare 5 boxes of medical herbs and after finishing 3 boxes he is already bored as hell over the task.
Usually it would be fine since Val would be around to help him make other stuff or just keep trying to get his attention but since last week that won't be happening until the evening.
Reason? She got admitted to the magic knight academy in town under Fiona recommendation, he doesn't even know what trick she used to make Val actually leave his side and enter that place but still, he reprimand her to not use her full power and be careful not to hurt anyone.
Speaking of her, Fiona might be strict and full of unholy dress up ideas for him and Val, but all in all she's a good person. Even with the stomachache and muscle pain inducing substances she gave, she is a good person.
Back then he thought it was poison but thinking it through if it is poison then it won't affect him at all, the fact that it gave him those effect means it is not poison and actually does something.
He didn't need much exploration to find bottles of those in the store storage and it appears that one removes impurities from the muscles while the other remove it from internal and sensory organs.
It is named muscle cleansing medicine and mana path cleansing medicine. from what his books tell him, by removing impurities from one bodies, they are unlocking more potential for their growth and raising the limit of their bodies.
But it also raise some questions for him, why would she gave him and Val such precious medicines and why did she not said anything about it?
The materials for these medicines aren't common nor are they cheap. A single bottle of those medicine can fetch up to 1000 gold coins, much more than his income from helping out in the store since last week.
Wait, the discussion went a bit off course there. Anyway Fiona aren't just a beautiful employer but she also act like a kind and caring sister in her way, she is possibly his most favorite person through his new life in this world.
Just then, the door to the lab opened and the person in question came in. "When you are done with those, do these as well alright." Saying that she left another five boxes of stuff out of her inventory and leave the room.
Checking what's inside the boxes, Vayne can't help but inwardly curses. Inside the boxes are different kind of flowers and roots with a note telling him what to do with them. Extracting their liquid essence.
'I change my mind she is not kind she is the devil's incarcerate! What is this torture, I demand my worker rights!'
Grumpily return to his station, he began preparing the needed procedures.

*Splash* *plak*
"Hey freak you better answer when I'm talking to you!" Said a pretty red cat beast kin while she shook the hand she used to slap a drenched silver haired girl that stand in front of her with a handprint on her cheek.
'why is this fragile looking girl so hard?!'
"Yeah just because all the boys fawn over you, don't get too over confident. You're nothing special!" Her friends agreed, a cute looking squirrel beast kin and a sly looking rat beast kin.
The girl in question stand there quietly, only looking disinterested with at their bickering.
Seeing that their target completely ignore them, the cat girl look even more displeased. "Tch, what a creep let's go girls it's not worth it talking to this weirdo. And you, you better remember our warning, you don't deserve their attention." Saying that, the trio left.
The white haired girl stood there for a few moments before drying herself with magic and left as is nothing happened.
"They seem to get the wrong idea it's not me who doesn't deserve them, It is them who deserves my attention." Saying so, the girl let out a faint smile as her dull gray eyes turn sapphire blue with some golden glow dances with mirth on it.
"I wonder what will master say if I "accidentally" hurt someone."

"You sure you don't want me to teach the kid anymore, it'll be a shame to waste such talent you know." Maharashtra said, stroking his beard.
"I'd rather let him waste his talent than taking the risk of you putting him in danger once more." Leo reply as he roll the various recipes scrolls and paper diagrams of weapons.
"That's naive Leon, we both know danger lurks everywhere, especially where man lives." The old dwarf said to the departing figure of Leon.
Looking over his shoulder, he replied "times has changed Rusty, the blood fang cult is no more. You need to let go of the past." Saying so, he left the room.
"I hope you're right Leon, I truly hope so." Sipping his goblet, the old dwarf look out his window and stare at the moon.
'let's wish all of them are truly purged.'
