Chapter 77: Brüle
The Potion Manufacturing class was excluded from the parent observation sessions.
The reason was simple.
Our Potion Manufacturing class doesnt participate in parent observation sessions. You all understand the reason, right?
Yes. We heard its because there are too many classes.
The Magic Department had a surplus of classes.Fịndd new updates at novelhall.comong the meticulously divided courses in the Magic Department, there were quite a few that were essential for parent observation sessions.
As a result, relatively less important classes had to be omitted from the Magic Departments side.
If Hassen Rittle was here, maybe it would have been possible, but Ethan, who hadnt been validated yet, participating in the Magic Departments observation sessions was unrealistic.
Well, its amusing that I, who am not a mage, would take you to parent observation sessions.
Nevertheless, we still consider you our teacher, even if youre not a mage!
During the first class, the students had shown resistance, but their thoughts changed that day.
They initially brushed aside the rumors from the Swordsmanship Department as exaggeration, but experiencing it firsthand revealed it wasnt an exaggeration.
The rumors from the Swordsmanship Department were true: Ethan indeed delivered substantial classes.
Like the instructors of the Swordsmanship Department, the instructors of the Magic Department hadnt been teaching their core techniques effectively.
In fact, they were worse than the Swordsmanship Department in this regard.
Even if a swordsman was exceptionally talented, reproducing their sword skills was difficult.
This was because sword skills varied greatly between each swordsman.
But magic was different.
Applying most of the core techniques in various ways was feasible.
By doing so, students could quickly end up using magic that surpassed that of their instructors.
Therefore, the Magic Department instructors taught their secrets but subtly held back the core techniques.
Core secrets and techniques.
Since these two things were taught only to apprentices or bloodlines, there was no choice but not to teach them to the students.
And such things didnt sit well with the Magic Department students.
If it was going to be like this, why bother attending classes at the academy?
It would be better to learn from a personal tutor or enter as a renowned mages apprentice.
If not, entering the Magic Tower would have allowed them to learn much more.
Thats why the students had high expectations for this class.
They believed there would be something worth learning in Ethans Potion Manufacturing class.
You all seem excited.
This was the second session of the Potion Manufacturing class.
-The class that was taken over midway was received excellently.
-All students were in attendance!
-Your reputation is growing!
Just continuing the class inherited from the middle without any dropouts added to the reputation.
And if I finish it successfully, my reputation will rise even more.
The more the students hoped for Ethan, the better.
Its not at all burdensome.
If there were no expectations, it might have been burdensome, but Ethan was already well-prepared.
If I can establish trust here, it will be much easier from the second semester onwards.
Back then, Ethan was willing to take on many students, even if it meant pushing the limits.
In order to gain a lot of reputation, classes needed to be filled to the maximum capacity permitted by the academy.
Those who have learned the basics of potion-making from their family tutors, raise your hands.
Upon Ethans words, all the students raised their hands.
Those who have learned the same content from their families as they did in the academy?
Again, everyone raised their hands.
They already knew all the basics.
Yet, the reason they took Ethans Potion Manufacturing class was due to their previous instructor, Hassen Rittle.
What you all expected from Teacher Hassen Rittle were practical potion-making methods. Not grand ones, but methods that could be practically utilized in daily life.
Applying to Hassen Rittles class was a way to learn something new, something substantial.
In essence, something of value.
This was what all academy students desired.
Ethan promptly started writing on the board.
No one could know.
What Ethan was doing now was magic from the future.
He intended to show a part of the core of the reformed potion rune, developed by future accomplished alchemists.
In reality, this spell was designed for the convenience of the players in the marketplace.
Creating potions one by one was quite tricky in MePan.
Because of that, players had to buy potions at high prices. As their levels increased, the cost of potions often took a toll on their wallets.
It became challenging even to embark on large-scale expeditions due to the potions, which led to an urgent patch that created this setting.
I know that.
Everyone silently awaited Ethans response.
Despite the silence, their excitement was palpable.
Brle.
Ethan spoke briefly.
The line here. The power contained in this line is the brle. The burning force. This single line holds the burning force, which is why a fireball can be created with just two lines.
Having drawn the brle, Ethan promptly took out a substance from his pocket.
Then, if we integrate this into potion-making? The reason for dedicating time to making potions is to ensure that the ingredients are thoroughly heated.
After pausing to catch his breath, Ethan continued.
By combining this brle, we can intensify the heating, and consequently, create potions much more quickly.
Currently, Ethan possessed the skill of Heos Decoction.
However, even during his time as a player in MePan when he didnt have the Heos Decoction, Ethan was already skilled in potion-making. In fact, efficiently making potions was his specialty.
At present, the Heos Decoction is much more effective using the brle than not using it.
However, he couldnt reveal the Heos Decoction to the students. So, he intended to introduce them to the brle.
After all, it wouldnt be significant since this knowledge would be unlocked when that alchemist appeared in the future.
If we utilize this brle to make potions, what do you think will happen?
This time, Ethan asked another student.
To be honest, I think it would result in messy potions. Potions need time to be meticulously prepared.
Right, that seems like the only logical conclusion.
Ethan nodded.
But youre wrong.
He immediately raised his hand.
Ill show you now. Watch closely.
With one hand, he started making a potion using the brle rune, and with the other hand, he made a potion without it.
The students remained breathless, their focus locked on Ethan as he skillfully crafted two potions.
In an instant, a brle Healing Potion was created.
Since it was made without using the Heos Decoction, the brles power was the only element infused into the potion.
The other side was still being created.
And not long after, a potion made without the brle was also crafted.
The difference between the two potions solely depended on whether the brle was used or not.
One was created with careful dedication, while the other was made quickly utilizing the brle. As you know from your training, logically, the quickly made potion shouldnt have better effects than the one made with time.
Ethan tossed the two potions to Grandel.
Appraise them.
Grandel, the most skilled at appraisal magic here, could easily perform appraisal magic in this situation. As Ethan handed him the potions, Grandel glanced around.
Everyone was looking at him expectantly.
Ethans statement directly contradicted the content of Potion Manufacturing they had learned until now.
No one had ever suggested making potions faster before.
Even students who learned from Hassen Rittle had been taught that potions should be made at a leisurely pace, and concentration should never waver during the process.
With his eyes closed, Grandel placed his hands on the two potions.
His hands radiated light, and appraisal magic was instantly cast.
!
Grandel opened his eyes anxiously.
Both of these
Everyone focused on his words.
Th-Theyre the same.
