Chapter 101
“Thank you for just now, Auguste-sama”
“Hm~ about what~?”
As soon as we left the classroouste
I don’t knohether Auguste intended to hide his eaze and feigning ignorance
“Speaking of which, you have been a very shy person since a long tilad I could be useful”
I said with a slightly uste cast his eyes down as he controlled his laughter
“But, that was surprising, right? That class was an elee was the prerequisite for the lesson”
“T-that’s true……”
“I have notes that I used in Magic Introduction when I was a freshman, so I will lend it to you later”
“Thank you very uste, I headed to the classroom of Elementary Alchemy
For the Alchemy class, there are soo with the spare tiot into the Alcherettable that Tricia and Harold are not in the Elementary Alchemy class but Advanced Alchemy
As I stepped into the classroom, I felt that 70 of the students are from West Dorm
The room was built like a chemical laboratory
There are several wide tables for six people arranged, and the teaching materials required for this lesson are placed on each seat
The teaching materials placed on the table are a small wooden box and two small bottles
The label of the small bottles contains the na
But the wooden box is labeled “Do not touch” and the contents are unknown
I feel a so sensation that contact is strictly prohibited
While lightly greeting students with familiar faces, I took a seat
This time, I sat around the e of today’s lesson is a female teacher, Cornelia Schwefel
She is a woentle atmosphere, and I hope she doesn’t have any question to be asked like the previous lesson
It seems that the teacher hasn’t arrived at the classroo the instruments such as the athanor
“Students who have forgotten the athanor for the class, I suggest you to inform me about that now”
When I took out various tools fro, there was a familiar voice
When I raised my face, I could see the back of someone with short black hair
“Klaus-sama? Why are you in the Elementary Alchemy class?”
“I’m both the assistant and observerWhatIs it inconvenient if I stay here, Erica?”
He directed suspicious eyes at ry, Ilike that……but, whose assistant-cum-observer are you?”
“You will know if you think about it a littleYou can count the people who exercise their poith iron fist onso, Klaus looked at the entrance to the classroom
As I was drawn in,I also focused ure of a allantly, his navy blue coat with luxurious golden thread e behind hi features with the saht eye is equipped with a ic, and a smile appeared on his lips
He is in hisas that of a boy
No matter how I look, that is not Schwefel-sensei
No, let’s face the reality soon
The one who entered is my older brother, Eduart Aurelia
Why is Onii-sama here?
Before I could voice my doubt out loud, my brother walked steadily and went up to the teacher’s platforsMy cute studentsAre you enjoying your first day in the ic acadeI am Eduart Aurelia
Schwefel-sensei took an extended leave on a short notice due to so this tie of the Elementary Alchemy class
It’ll be just for a short while, but let’s be friends”
When he gave a greeting with a big smile full of service, shouts of joy rose from the fe of which, I’ular teacherI think there will be sI want you to tell s you don’t understand”
“Y-yes! Does sensei have a girlfriend!?”
The one who raised her hand was one of the group of girls who see “Kya~ kya~”, they looked at the female student who took up such heroic action
“No, just keep the questions related to the lessonQuestions unrelated to the lesson can be asked when I a as a teacher”
My brother said so with a sweet but carrying voice, and winked as he took off his monocle
The female students’ voices becaht, as I aether with Schla-sensei of the Golem classes, make sure you’re not absent on my turns, okay?”
When Eduart-oniisairls answered “Ye~s” with their voice
It seerabbed the female students’ hearts very quickly
That was a matter of courseIt is obvious that the lip service was too excessive
What are you doing, Onii-sama?
“Erica, there is a wrinkle between your eyebrows”
“……!”
When Klaus pointed it out, I held down irls who can say “Kya~ kya~” to my brother?
It seems that if one calls oneself a brocon, one will really become a brocon
That is the mysterious power of words to alter realityI have to be careful
Klaus see the athanors to the students who had forgotten to bring it whilehimself
He as empty-handed for some reason took a seat next to me
“Klaus-sama, if you are an assistant, shouldn’t you return to the platforo when I am calledBut, I think Eduart will feel saved if I a my eyes off of you”
When I asked with a low voice withthe teacher, that sort of answer came out
As usual Klaus is a worry-wartWell, I may be at risk and am not trusted
My brother on the teacher’s platfor several instruments on the desk
A star crystal laears and a rotationthe instruments, my brother showed a serious expression and opened hiswith the teacher’s pointer in his hand
“What should I teach in this Elementary Alchemy lesson? Be it the contents of the textbook or the correct use of the experimental toolsI want to teach you about the attitude you should take when stepping into an unknown area”
As he said so, my brother raised the teacher’s pointer
Huh? If I look closely, the teacher’s pointer has unexpectedly been replaced by a wand
When ic circles were deployed at once
It’s the Mage Finger spell that I have used before
However, this seems to be a specialized hich has been e extended
By ers, the curtains were closed all at once
In the darkened classrooht of the star crystal las
My brother hung a black cover over the laht
No, if I look closely, it’s not a coht is still visible
The gole an to slowly rotate at such a speed that it would be unnoticed unless one looked closely
When I looked closely, it was an exquisite imitation of the starry sky of this world
My brother seems to have made a homemade planetarium
“In alchemy, all the world is considered to be a distorted expression projected froic lantern as a siinal pattern while our world is nothing le projected star”
Under the false starry sky,slowly
“The purpose of the alcheoal, we have to solve the expression leading to itHowever, we don’t truly knohat the idea is, nor how to reach itTherefore, the alchenpost”
My brother cut off his words and added soht corresponding to Polaris took on a golden, strong sparkle
“That is goldTherefore, we are aiold transold is far and steep and no one knows the right pathThe goalThe road itself , on’t know until we start walking”
Once again, when ht disappeared
Instead the number of stars increased an to shi+ne brighter
It became a sky full of stars like the one you see in thebut an irand re-creation
If there exist Gods that created the idea, it is a challenge to the work of Gods
If there is a distant, higher order world created by e to that place
Even if it is an unreachable step, we shouldn’t be afraid to step forward
I think that the reckless challenge that seems barbaric is truly wonderful”
When ain, the curtains quickly opened and the classroohtened
The students had captivated eyes and looked like they had just woken up from a dream
Eduart-oniisaentle voice
“The time will come when you have to step into an unknown area that has not been marked with the forerunners’ footprints
The wilderness without a signpost where you don’t know the correct answer and there is no guarantee that you can arrive somewhere
In such a case, I would be very happy if you ree to challenge the unknown territory”
My brother stared at the far side with a look like a drea alchemy with emphasis on practicality for survival
But now I realized that in alchemy, there is also a side full of dreaet used to it, but I feel like I can learn with a fresh feeling
Unexpectedly,me, corrected our posture
“Now then, footprints of the pioneers, this is your first step into theuys, but be sure to step inThe theme is cockatriceIt is a monstro of petrification that everyone knows of”
My brother went down the platform and sloalked between the experiment tables
“The erousAs you all know because it has the ability to petrify in its whole bodyThe part where the power of petrification is particularly strong is its spine, when it becomes a fossil naturally, it is said that the force is further concentrated”
As he walked, loves and took out another gloves
Coloves, this one looked like a rather worn out working gloves
“Although this erous to handle, the spells that can be extracted are si to extract alchemical effects for the first tiloves and tapped the boxes that were in front of the nearest student with a fingertip
“Well, the box in front of youI guess you have been worrying about it, huhInside of that box is the fossil of cockatrice’s spineAs written there, it is very dangerous, so don’t touch it until there is an instruction, alright? I have prepared anti-petrificationit”
“Why is that?”
A student as in front ofthat question, my brother smiled nastily
“WellThat’s because this medicine is very bitterIt is to the extent that you would regret and think that you should have stayed petrified”
When my brother joked with a loud voice, the classroohter
My brother took out the anti-petrification medicines from his pocket and put it on each experiora and lizardMixing in acidic ingredients and essential oils of co in case of an ear for the solvent”
My brother ent around the classrooain and picked up a chalk
Even while talking, my brother wrote the purpose and procedure of the experiment on the blackboard
“Now then, let’s e six of the textbookThe objective is to separate the petrification effect contained in the fossil of the cockatrice fro it a paralysis potionA athanor before?”
About 80 of the students raised their hand on the question
I was hesitant to raise my hand
I have used athanor a couple of ti a potion
“WonderfulSensei is pleased that there are lots of enthusiastic studentsLet’s light up the fire in the athanorThe experienced people will help the inexperienced people”
Once again,between the experi so sure that everyone’s preparation is completed, my brother called out to the students
“Now, let’s open the lid of the wooden boxFirst of all, there should be the saloves like the ones I wear, so wear the the inner lid”
“Sensei, I don’t have gloves”
“Oops, that’s terribleHand out the spare glovesOthers who have no gloves, raise your handsStudents who are wearing their gloves should open the inner lid and place the fossil in the flask while taking care not to touch it directly”
He gave directions to Klaus and distributed the gloves
I have gloves, so let’s proceed to the next process
I replaced loves and opened the inner lid
A fossil piece of only about 3 mm square was placed on cotton
Even with this size, it should be quite expensive
As ic acade materials
“First of all, once you put the cockatrice fossil in a flask, add a flask worth of the first che it upAfter a while, the flow of enerated”
Using a pincette, I carefully picked up the cockatrice fossil and e flask made of quartz
Then, I carefully inserted the first chemical liquid so as not to splash the liquid, and put the flask into the furnace
After a while, fragical characters came up on the surface of the athanor
Is this the occurrence of the fundaical flow?
“Next, add a drop of the second che a pipette and build the spell written on page 6At this tihtly sealed”
I opened the athanor and added a drop from the second bottle with a pipette
At the moment when the two kinds of liquids ht appeared to blink inside the liquid
When I carefully added the chemicals, I could see my brother behind the athanor
My brother stopped at my table and looked at my skill
“WonderfulIf you keep your careful work as is, you will becoreat alchemist”
“Thank you, Sensei”
I sentle smile
My older brother is the type to praise and push the students to perforh I understand that et excited
My brother spoke to the students who have noticed other things and went around the classroom
“In the case of a person who is likely to disturb the spell construction in the athanor, consider putting in a soer, total quantity of the second liquid, over the course of several times”
I think it would be better to put the second liquid in a rather large amount
For several drops of the second chemical liquid, I observed the mixture carefully
Would it be okay now?
In the flow of the funda the spell
Then, the spell components I had in mind appeared as letters and lines on the surface and in the periphery of the athanor and consequently vanished
As expected, it seems that the spell was distorted and broken
Still, I repeatedly constructed the spell carefully again and again
I wonder how ic spell I had begun to construct was disturbed again and even the ical flow itself was likely to disappear
I quickly stopped this distorted and close to broken spell
Aah, if only this distortion didn’t get in the way—
“Then, let’s ain in this class in four days!”
The next thing I saas that Eduart-oniisa next toon several sheets of paper
Oh, I must have suffered froo
Klaus looked up at me and raised his face
My brother came close to me with a relieved expression
“It seems that you have finally returned to your senses”
“…… the whole time because you received the petrification effect you were practicing onDon’t ever interfere directly with the spell structure in the athanor again”
Right
I tried to directly et petrified until the class ended?”
Since there is Klaus, he should be able to quickly dispel it, so why?
As I was thinking about it, Klaus exchanged looks with my brother as if uneasy
“Well, EricaKlaus-kun tried to dispel it with all his strength, but……”
“SorryIt seeht that Klaus-sama will be able to dispel my immature spell in the blink of an eye”
“Your petrification effect was at an abnorhest rank Dispel”
As I was told, I didn’t even recognize the lapse of time just before the petrified state
Even if I couldn’t ans such as the spirit and the internal organs still move
Why do such wasteful and powerful effects only occur at ti that I should at the very least apologize, I wrote down the lesson just now”
Klaus handed out a bundle of vellum papers which summarized the content of the lesson with aunfavorable thoughts about hi whether to make a specialized wand for Dispel, but Klaus-kun advised me not to do it”
“No, really, please stop it, Onii-sama”
It seems that a bad reputation will be attached tothe popular teacher
Even so, my brother is sweet to me
“But, as expected of rinned and gently stroked my hair
Hm? I’m happy that you stroked my hair, but what is it?
“What, EricaYou, are you not aware of it?”
“What is it?”
“The reason why Erica was petrified is because the effect didn’t dissolve in thewith it directly”
“The effect itself was unusually powerful and it was not the chemicals but you that was infused with the paralysis effectThink over it, setting these two circumstances aside”
When Onii-sama and Klaus told me, it finally dawned on me
“Ah, I……did I succeed in transmutation for the first time?”
I was so distracted by my mistakes that I didn’t notice it
Froed up
Even though I had already given up thinking nothing would happened anyway
