Chapter 184: Body Tampering Elixer (1/2)
Airi shifted her gaze to his hand and his face, seemingly wary of him. But she noticed that the person in front of her seemed to be not bad. In any case, he was Miss Ella's cousin.
She reached out with her hand also.
Although her hand was smooth and so tiny, Yman didn't give much thought about it and shook her hand while trying to wear his gentlest smile he could muster as to not startle her.
Cinder followed after him. ”My name is Cinde Rayla, Miss Airi,” she said with a wide smile.
”Hello, Miss Cinde.”
”Cinde?” They heard Crimson's mutter.
”Mhm!” She nodded. ”That's my real name,” Cinde stated.
”Eh! Cinder is not your real name?” He asked with a surprised face.
”Of course, not! Cinder is just a codename for the competition,” she asserted.
”.....”
Yman was a little surprised. No wonder Rea was calling her Cinde all this time. Though it wasn't a big issue for him to take into account.
Beside them, Rea was silent while sighing at him. 'This Eyma didn't even bother knowing it…' she thought.
”Right. Miss Airi, where is the backyard you mentioned earlier?”
He asked when he remembered her words awhile ago. He glanced around the building but he could not find him.
”UH, Crimson, what she meant is to the mountain,” Rea said while pointing to the far mountain that could be seen in the distance.
”Hm, I see.”
Since the professor wasn't there yet, Airi decided to tour them inside the lab.
When they entered, he and the others were surprised that inside the rundown building was opposite to what they expected; although different kinds of materials that were needed for alchemy could be seen everywhere, they were well-arranged on the glass shelves and some on the table.
He sighed in relief upon seeing it. At least he didn't need to do a cleaning. It must be Miss Airi who arranged them, he thought.
He saw different kinds of rare stones, metals, and herbs displayed on the wall, seemingly a collection for display. Although it looked like a rundown building outside, it looked fine and comfortable inside.
A set of sofas was even in the corner. And a small glass table was in the middle of it.
But what took his attention was the liquid in one of the glasses that were on the tabletop. It was shining like it was pulsifying, then different kinds of colors would surface now and then. He could also perceive magical energy from it.
”Miss Airi, what are those?” He was mystified by it and decided to ask her.
”Ah that, it's my newly made magical drink!” She excitedly stated.
”A magical drink? Could it be an elixir?”
”Kind of…”
”A Booster Elixir? Or healing? Or could it be an antidote?”
”Eh? Uh, it doesn't fall to any of that category.”
”What do you mean Miss Airi?”
He was pondering if there was any other category besides those he just said.
”Could it be the Elixir Of Resistance?” He muttered.
