Chapter 275: First Grade (1/2)

As Ning waited for 6 pm to arrive, a few more newer alchemists came and sat next to him in the waiting area, as they were also going to take part in the upcoming grading test.

Ning felt a little embarrassed when he saw that the people taking grading test were actually mostly little kinds who weren't even 15.

The kids would turn to look at him curiously, wondering if he was there to take a test as well.

Finally, it was 6 pm, and the people taking the tests started getting called in. Ning walked in to see a small room with a bunch of open furnaces on the ground.

Soon, a lady walked in and handed a pouch of ingredients as well as a recipe. They all had to now make a pill that was at least 10% or Grade 1 in quality.

Ning quickly opened up the bag to see the ingredients and found out that they were all simple ingredients that everyone would know about.

He quickly took out his weird looking cauldron and started making his pills. The recipe was quite simple and he wasted no time with the pills.

Within a a few minutes of starting the pill, he was done with it and handed the pill to the lady. The lady had a weird apparatus to test the pill's grade.

She quickly checked it and found out that his half-assed attempts at making the pills had resulted in grade 5 pills.

Soon, everyone was done with making their pills and it was time for the practical test.

This time, the people would go into the test room one by one and answer the questions of 3 grade 1 examiners. It was finally Ning's turn to enter.

When he went in, the testers were a little surprised but quickly started asking questions. The questions were so easy that Ning could answer it even if he didn't have any knowledge from the system.

He freely answered the questions and walked out proud. Without question, he had passed the 1st grade, and was now officially an alchemist.

He was then handed a badge that he could wear or simply carry around to show his identity as an Alchemist. Ning looked at the badge and saw a few things written.

”So, it's like an official identity card for me, except instead of me being a citizen, it says I'm an alchemist,” Ning thought. He walked over to the registrar and started to ask him some more questions.

”Now that I'm a grade 1 alchemist, can I join the guild?” Ning asked.

”Yes. You can take a test anytime starting tomorrow,” the registrar said.
