Auron arrived at the test room. In front of him, there was already a desk and many empty potion flasks on it. To his right side, there was a rack full of herbs. It was the ingredient for the potion.
The alchemist's entrance exam was uncomplicated. It was to create the easiest potion from all, the basic health potion.
Alchemy was different from blacksmithing. In blacksmithing, the blacksmith would need a blueprint, and that said blueprint would also be consumed. However, the alchemy was slightly different.
