Old Red seemed so solemn…
A war? Right after the Welcome Ceremony? Wasn't this a little too dramatic?! But before Gray could react, Old Red kept going as if an old general addressing his troops.
"Our Alchemy department is the weakest. Can anyone tell me why?"
"T-That, because it's full of alchemists?"
"PRECISELY SO! Here, look at this!"
Were those... test scores?!
Combat Mages 88
Astral Mages 86
Blacksmiths 78
Alchemists 63
They weren't just last. They were dead last! Seeing them gasp, Old Red kept going.
"For years, Alchemists have been last place. But it's time to change this. It's time to RISE!" he then glanced at the crowd with such hope that he seemed radiant.
"This year, we have new talent! Teacher Gale is joining us! Not only will he teach his usual class, but he'll also take care of Alchemy 101!"
Sometimes, it feels as if the entire world conspires against you. How else would there be so many problems cropping up all the time? Well, fuck this world, 'cause I'm still standing!
