Chapter 170: Apprentice (2/2)

”I-I know it! Miss Ella is truly dating him!”

”Ehhhhh!” Rea cried out. ”Noooo!”

She wasn't sure if he did it on purpose or not, but this person was just too mean.

After several minutes, Aspe finally understood when Rea and Yman explained to her that he was her bodyguard. And what he said a while ago was just a little teasing. Aspe calmed down. Though she was still doubtful of the two.

Right after everything was settled, the door of the shop made a creaking noise. They all glanced at the same time and saw a middle-aged person with dog ears come in.

But soon he stopped and gawked when he saw some people lying on the floor. ”W-What happened here…?” He muttered.

”Father!” Aspe shouted.

The middle-aged man looked to where the voice originated. He saw his daughter together with two young visitors.

”Young Miss!” He called out to Rea upon seeing her.

”Uh, Uncle Ronnie, sorry about the mess,' Rea said with a sorry face.

”Eh, anyway, are they from the Red Gargantuan Village?” Ronnie asked directly.

”Perhaps, Father!” Aspe replied.

After the village guards took the unconscious people, Rea introduced Yman to Ronnie.

Ronnie stared at him.

”Oh, so you wish to learn how to synthesize a medicine. Sure thing, I was looking for an apprentice but you must pass some test if you wanted me to accept you.”

He wasn't expecting anything from this young man who looks like not the type who would wish to learn alchemy. But since it was the young miss who recommended him. He could at least show respect to her.

Rea and Aspe sighed. They both knew that Ronnie wasn't the type who easily took an apprentice. Many experts from the younger generation tried to apply as his apprentice but none of them were able to succeed.

Well, it depends on Crimson now. Rea thought so. At this point, she could not help him anymore.

Yman felt relieved when he heard him. Based on how Rea talked so-so about this man. He must be an expert Alchemist in making medicine. But he was a little skeptical.

'Wasn't the Elder or Professor in the Magic Academy was the best-suited to teach the younger generation who wish to learn the way of mixing medicine?' He thought.

”Yes Mr. Ronnie,” he replied calmly but they noticed he was a little skeptical.

”Uhm, Crimson, Uncle Ronnie is a professor in the Encantasia Magic Academy,” Rea told him.

Upon hearing her, ”Sorry for being a little doubtful to your excellence, Teacher! Please, accept me as your pupil,” He bowed towards Ronnie a second after he heard her words.

Yman could only grip his hands. It was regretful for him to show presumptuous action.

”Hmm, even if I accepted you, I can only teach you on weekends. As I am mostly in the academy from Monday to Friday.”

Ronnie said.

”Uhm, don't worry about it, Uncle Ronnie…” Rea explained to him about Crimson.

He understood Ella's situation. He even knew her real identity. Ronnie could only turn a blind eye to their situation.

Though he was surprised that this young man in front of him was a gold rank adventurer.

Aspe was surprised as well. ”No wonder he was so strong,” she mumbled.

”In that case, find me tomorrow in the academy lab,” Ronnie said.

”Uhm, teacher, should I buy the beginner Alchemy skill for medicine creation?” Yman asked.

Though it was a beginner skill scroll, the price is mostly a thousand GP or 1000 gold royals in Empire's currency.

”No need, the academy will grant you for free.”

”I see.”

He felt relieved when he heard that it was for free.

After the talk about being an apprentice was done. Rea handed the Repeller Herb to Ronnie.

Yman asked Rea about the use of it. Although he already knew that it could repel monsters, what he wanted to know was, what they needed it for.

However, instead of answering his question, she questioned him instead. ”What do you think of the village?”

Yman frowned. He wasn't able to understand her meaning. ”It was a peaceful village. That one can sleep unbothered,” but he managed to squeeze a reply based on what he felt about the village.

However, he noticed Rea's change in her countenance. ”That's how it looks like before the Monster Repeller Perfume waned off.”

”Monster Repeller Perfume?” He repeated.

It was the finished product of the Repeller Herb.

”Apprentice, come here!”

Before Rea could answer him, he heard Ronnie called out to him and beckoned him to follow to the next door.
