Chapter 482: Rewards I (2/2)
Raven didn't need to see for him to know that these are, without a doubt, medicinal pills. And from the scent alone, he could tell that they were concocted by a grandmaster.
”Medicinal Pills. There's three crates here, each are filled with twelve bottles so one for each of us.” Jason stated. He briefly inspected the crates and tried to look for some details but failed to see one, causing him to frown.
”What's wrong?” Nelson asked as he saw Jason frowning.
”Uh, well. I can't see any details about what these pills do. There's no list or labels attached to the crate. Are they expecting us to take it and consume it without knowing what they are?”
”Bring it to me.” Raven stated softly, causing everyone to focus on his again. ”I dabbled in Alchemy a bit. I should be able to tell what they do.”
”Hey! Isn't that too risky? Just because you know some Alchemy doesn't mean that you can just guess what these pills can do. They are made by the experts of the sect, your meager skills would just lead us astray.”
Some people weren't even surprised anymore that for some reason, under any circumstances available, this woman will never hesitate to grasp the chance to antagonize Raven and demean him in every way she could think of.
”Woman.” A single word from Floyd not only changed the strange atmosphere that threatened to descend upon them but also intimidated Mira and her twin sister greatly.
”You are a bitch do you know that?” Floyd continued, causing Mira's face to turn ugly. ”Not only do you not contribute, you even tried to prevent others from helping. I'm starting to think that you're doing this in purpose, which also makes me want to cut you down.”
”T-that's not…” Before she could even finish her words, she was stopped by Michelle.
”Girl, what is wrong you really? Why do you hold such a profound hatred against him? Did he do something to you?” Michelle asked with a serious tone. ”I never saw him doing anything to you. He had been great help to all of us so why are you doing this? Is there something you want to let us know?”
”I-I…”
”Please just ignore her, she's just tired, anxious and unsettled. Must be the air around here. She'll be fine I promise, I'll take to her later.” Pyra interjected before Mira could even speak, she's also discretely pinching her sister's sides to prevent her from talking.
”Alright, we'll do as you say.” Jason pinched the bridge of his nose and tried to diffuse the awkwardness thanks to Mira. He then handed the crates towards Raven and said: ”Give it a try, if you can't find anything then we'll ask Senior Brother instead.”
Raven nodded, completely ignoring the raging violet witch not too far from him.
He picked up one bottle from the top crate and placed it closed to his nose. As soon as he inhaled the scent of the medicine, his knowledge about Alchemy started working and immediately allowed him to more or less figure out what the medicine does.
Under everyone's questioning gaze, he lifted his sleeve and clawed on his entire arm, leaving a long and ugly gash and causing the majority of the team to be alarmed. But under their dumbstruck gazes, he popped the cork from the bottle, took a single pill out and shaved some power from the pill.
He gathered the shaved powder, which was barely visible, and sprinkled it on his injured arm.
Everyone watched as the large gash on his arm healed a visible pace. The wound closed up and the scars dried up, leaving on scabs that scattered off with a blow of air from him.
He then placed the pill back on the bottle, sealed it once again with the quirk and placed it beside him. He then looked at them as explained:
”As you witnessed just now, this bottle contains a healing pill. Each pill is incredibly potent which makes me believe that this can save you from the brink of death and return you to your peak state in no time. In short, this is a life-saving pill. This should be some sort of life insurance, so keep it close and take care of it.”
When Raven finished his explanation, the whole room descended into silence.
