Chapter 282: Chapter 276: Senior’s Challenge

Translator: 549690339

July 1st, Saturday, the weather was somewhat overcast.

David Jones, as usual, arrived at the Alchemy Room of Rosewood College.

When he entered the Alchemy Room, Senior Sister Audrey Harvey was sitting at her desk browsing an ancient yellowed book.

“You arrived just in time, come here.

Seeing David’s figure from the corner of her eye, Audrey immediately called out with a smile.

“Good morning, Senior Sister.”

David greeted and sat down across from Audrey.

Looking at the handsome young man in front of her, Audrey became more satisfied.

With David’s rapid improvement in alchemy, he might be promoted to a Flare V Alchemist this year, As a Senior Alchemist, he will reach the high standard of entry-level pharmacists.

What does it mean to be a 19-year-old Senior Alchemist?

In short, such a pharmacist is a prodigious figure, unprecedented in the history

of Flowery Kingdom.

With such talent, even a Grandmaster level Pharmacist might not be impossible to achieve.

“Senior Sister, what kind of elixir are we studying today?”

Seeing Audrey’s eager gaze, David couldn’t help but ask.

“Don’t rush into refining the medicine, I have something for you.”

Seeing her response, David looked at his senior sister in amazement.

With a flash of light, a flawless jade box appeared on the table.

Even without opening it, the luster radiating from the Jade Box was impressive and clearly indicated the extraordinary value of the item inside.

Seeing David’s curiosity, Audrey urged.

“Open it and take a look.”

As David opened the jade box, a fisheye-sized bead emitting a purple glow, evoking a sense of coolness, involuntarily made him tremble.

[Fire-Resist Bead]: A Class VII fire elemental beastmaster resource, a treasure formed from the spiritual essence of the flaming Lava Turtle’s eye, capable of defending against psychic fire and worldly flames.

David’s pupils shrank suddenly, looking at the Fire-Resist Bead in front of him somewhat absent-mindedly.

Considering the enormous size of the Lava Turtle, the diameter of its eye alone was probably several hundred meters long.

Concentrating such a massive eyeball into a small bead must have taken his senior sister quite some effort.

“Do you like it? This is a special gift prepared by Junior Brother Grau.” Noticing David’s touched expression, Audrey smiled and said.

Hearing her words, David was slightly taken aback.

He hadn’t realized the fierce-looking Grau had such a gentle side, and he thought he should do something to express his gratitude.

“Senior Sister, this is too valuable!” he politely declined.

He hadn’t made a single contribution to his school since joining, so how could he accept such a precious treasure?

“Igniting Star Fire is a catastrophe for every Beastmaster. With this Fire-Resist Bead, you won’t have to suffer the pain of Star Fire burning,” seeing David’s hesitation, Audrey broke the silence first.

“In the end, this Fire-Resist Bead is just compensation for the Lava Turtle’s attack on you. Just accept it without worry.”

Seeing her response, David didn’t hesitate any longer and directly put away the Fire-Resist Bead.

He believed that he would have enough ability in the future to repay his school for their current attention.

During the following time, David Jones spent every day either practicing Calm Mind to strengthen his pets or immersing himself in alchemy studies.

So, two months passed in a flash.

During this period, not only did David Jones acquire eight high-level Dragon Crystals, but he also increased the number of Rune Circles in his Afterglow Array to sixty-one, his alchemy level approaching that of a Flare V Alchemist. The only thing that David felt regretful about was that although Rainbow and Daphne’s normal Arcane Grades were steadily rising, they still couldn’t break through to the lower Class IV. It seemed that they had entered a stagnation period.

According to Rainbow, she would not breakthrough to Class IV unless her Class

III upper-level strength was pushed to the limit.

As a result, Daphne also started to follow suit.

It was September 1st, Friday, the start of the new semester at Rosewood College.

To David’s surprise, Margaret Yule, who he thought would choose the Battle Department, ended up choosing the Pharmacy Department just like him.

Walking on their way to the opening ceremony, David couldn’t help but ask, “I remember you don’t know how to practice alchemy, right? Why did you decide to switch to the Pharmacy Department in the end?”

-It’s because I don’t know alchemy, so I want to give it a try.” Margaret Yule replied with a smile.

“Besides, the professor responsible for my admission is from the Pharmacy Department. It wouldn’t be too good if I immediately ran off to the Beastmaster or Battle Department!”

“Professor?”

David was slightly startled, and an image of a blonde waterfall of hair flashed through his mind.

“Yeah, Professor Audrey Harvey. I remember she was the one who presided over your award ceremony.” Margaret Yule said, somewhat incredulously.

The fact that an ordinary Trainer like her, who didn’t even have the skill of an alchemy apprentice, could attract the attention of Professor Harvey from the Pharmacy Department was nothing short of a miracle.

David fell silent.

Although he didn’t know why Audrey did this, he was sure that it was related to him somehow.

“What, do you know Professor Harvey?” Seeing David’s change in expression, Margaret Yule asked subconsciously.

However, just as David was about to nod in agreement, a young man with gray-white hair suddenly walked out of the crowd, his face serious as he spoke.

“Hello, are you junior David Jones?”

Gazing at the young man before him who was wearing casual clothes and speaking courteously, David raised an eyebrow, “Yes, what can I do for you?” “I am Kevin Mansfield from the Battle Department. I’m sorry to be so presumptuous, but I hope you can have a pet battle with me. Please.” Kevin Mansfield requested.

For a moment, the eyes of passing students were drawn to the scene.

“Is that David Jones? Why does he look even more handsome in person than in the video?” A girl asked.

“Can’t you believe it? You’re just admiring the appearance of such an excellent Trainer? Can’t you talk about his achievements? So superficial!” Another girl replied with disdain.

“The third-year Kevin Mansfield is indeed a battle maniac, as rumored. He doesn’t even let the freshman champion go.” Some experienced students shook their heads.

“Battle! Battle!” At this moment, several students who wanted more excitement started to heckle.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, David stopped in his tracks.

“We can battle, but today is the opening ceremony. Why don’t we have a match tomorrow?”

Daphne hadn’t had a chance to fight since her evolution. This opponent, who had come forward of his own accord, might be a good test subject.

“Alright, then tomorrow. Here’s my QChat. We’ll contact each other then.” Kevin Mansfield was delighted to hear this and promptly took out his phone. Watching Kevin Mansfield’s retreating figure, Margaret Yule said with confusion, “You could have refused, you know.”

In response, David merely smiled.

“Can’t help it. His attitude was just too good! Besides, I’m in need of a suitable opponent right now..”
