Chapter 178 I Agree But Only If (2/2)
Daniel's relationshi+p with Alesia had evolved since the day they had spent together A faint veil of embarrassment had tainted each and every one of their encounter after that night, and yet, in a matter of weeks, their need to see each other had increased to a point where they could do nothing but forget the embarrassment
They would often spend howevera friendly behaviour, or secretly behaving like a couple
The two of thereenhouse within 'The Superior Alchemy' school Their instructor had taken the class to study the change in behaviour and effects of the plants to tee in environment
”dicinal effect is contained in the liquids If left in a dry and hot place, the plant will die in a matter of hours But that is also the only method to extract the liquid fro to drill a hole in the root” Said Serf with a tone that seemed to show annoyance more than interest
”Correct” Responded the instructor with slight surprise, before turning towards Daniel, and ask ”Mr Hiel, what about its use?”
The tip of Daniel's finger started to gloith a white, and warht, as he lowered hireen leaves covered in red veins ”If the liquid is injected into a person's heart, it will send periodical painful electric waves, which have a good probability of reani almost obsessively at the plant
With a curious look, the instructor asked ”What if it's used on someone whose heartbeat hasn't stopped?”
”It will have the opposite effect, and nals that our brain uses to control our entire body This plant is poisonous” Responded Daniel, showing an intentionally exaggerated interest for it
”Correct” Responded the teacher while looking at Daniel sideways He then turned around, and walked to the next area of the greenhouse, where a furry purple-colored cactus caround, and stood still
”You do learn fast” Said Serf from Daniel's side
Daniel chuckled and said ”You seem to know an awful lot about poisonous plants as well Are you sure your family is only a fa a piece of candy and popping it into his”From my experience, there is no alcheh enough” He then turned to look at Daniel, and asked ”Why? Are you interested in poisons?”
His voice was high enough for the rest of the class to hear The teacher was, of course, no exception
Daniel's expression remained calm, as he answered with a tone just as loud ”Why not The difference between poison andthe deadly part of nature?”
This conversation had been prepared by Daniel long ago
He had already assu, or at the very least, would be the link to 'The Poisonous Rose', so, he had to start showing interest for poison
In order to do that, he needed Serf's help, otherwise he would seem too obvious and almost forced in his attempt
Once the teacher heard Daniel's words, he turned around, and said ”While it is true that they are two sides of the sa thehteousness of the act to
Daniel actually had no idea if this teacher was one of those connected to the poisonous rose or not He was si But the fact that the teacher hadn't scolded hi openly about it, was actually a sign that he ht have been

The lesson proceeded like usual for the next two hours, then, it ended
After the lesson ended, Daniel was about to take his leave along with Serf and Alesia, but before he could reunite with the two, he was called by the teacher
”Mr Hiel wait a moment please” Said the teacher with a hint of respect It didn't ious company head after all
Daniel stopped, and turned to look at the teacher, which after approaching him, said ”I have been a asked to deliver an offer to you, Mr Hiel”
”I a” Responded Daniel calmly
”The parent coe to make an offer for the perfect fire treasure that we have learned ended up in your co a s Daniel's reaction
After noticing Daniel's curiosity, he said ”The company offers a hundred thousand perfect crystals”
A dubious expression appeared on Daniel's face, before he looked at the teacher, and said ”I agree, but only if they agree on de a perfect comprehension of fire to me”
