230 Leaving (1/2)
Krune decided to use the last few days to raise his alchemist rank. As mentioned before, he could have gone further than Five Silver Stars, but he focused on high payment first. Now that he is focused on trying harder pills, his alchemist skills started to grow at high speed. Not to mention that it has been over a month since he entered the Five Silver Stars level, so he was already used to it.
'Hum... This one was very close to Six Silver Stars level, but I messed in a few places during the concoction. Still, I should be able to reach the Six Silver Stars in my next few batches if I fix some of the points. Let's try it out.'
Although Krune thought that, it wasn't that easy to get it right. There were a few times that he got some of those points fixed but messed with others that were right before. It wasn't exactly his fault, it was just the law of cause and effect. By fixing a method, another one that was working didn't go as expected anymore. Krune needed to find the balance between each other so that they would come out okay.
In the end, Krune had to work on another 15 batches of pills until he finally broke the final barrier and entered the Six Silver Stars level. Once again, his communicator received a message congratulating him for creating a Pill above his level. That was the proof of his success.
'Finally done. Just two days before we departed. Let's bring the pill out to be checked and then spent some time getting used to my new level.'
At the same time, Feifei was going through a similar process in the Formations Master Organization Branch. The Formations Master test is different from the Alchemist one, where you only had to show the pill that you had concocted. Every time Feifei, Tiane, or anyone else wanted to have their Star Rank raised, they had to build a Formation in front of the examiners.
Other members of the Organization were also watching since it was suitable for their own training. Even Feifei herself had observed other Formation Masters during their tests, which helped her a lot in the past. Because Feifei is quite young and had been improving so fast, she was quite famous between this Branch's members, especially men.
\”She is already trying the Six Silver Stars test. Wasn't her a Three Silver Stars Formations Master around 5 months ago?\”
\”Exactly, Wulia Feier is so talented in formations that even the Supervisor is putting a lot of effort into teaching here in the few last weeks. It seems like she will be participating in the Junior Formations Master competition in Anach too. I believe Supervisor Hulio is expecting her to get some experience.\”
\”I see, but won't it instead backfire on him? What if the other bigger branches try to steel her with better offers? She might not have the highest rank between our members in this competition, but she definitely has the highest talent considering her age.\”
\”I see, now that I think about it, quite a few do that during the competition. Let's hope that everything goes well.\”
\”Exactly. There is no risk of anyone of our Branch leaking this information either. After all, no one is idiot enough to buy a fight with the Formations Master Organization for no reason. The Headquarters is extremely strict with their rules.\”
Feifei was oblivious to such conversations since she was entirely focused on the formation under her.
'The northwest side in getting in conflict with the inner core, I have to rearrange the connections from the two ends;
The flow of spiritual energy of the southern border is getting out of synch with the northern one. Maybe I should use another material to reinforce its balance;
I used too much Elemental Source Energy in the outer core, I need to compensate it somehow.'
Thanks to the Destiny Major Core, Feifei was being able to see where the problems would occur even before it happened. Thanks to that, she could build counter-measures in time to prevent the formation from being ruined.
Around one hour later, Feifei wiped the sweat on her forehead and stood up. The trapping fog formation that she was building was finally completed!
The examiners watching it then said.
\”Alright, give us the key to the formation and activate it, we need to check the level from outside and inside.\”
Feifei did as they asked and activated the formation. It soon came to life, and the fog started to spread around the structure. Some of the examiners entered it with the key, while others stayed outside to observe. Around ten minutes later, they deactivated the formation and started to examine the formation composition. Not too long after, one of the examiners smiled and said.
