I Got The Gacha System In Another World
Pill Refining

"Teacher?"

"What's that?"

"No, it's just...Your face was scary."

"I'm thinking of giving pills to soldiers."

Alex was shocked, he did not think his teacher had the goal of helping the army. Alex pondered a little, "The peak level is almost impossible because it is very difficult to make. For the upper class, we can give it to high-ranking people in the army, although it is a bit difficult but it can be done. Intermediate level is the best primary pill we can give. As for the low level... I don't know, it's basically a trash pill."

Dean was astonished, Alex's brain worked like magic. He had just given her the topic, and Alex almost gave her the perfect answer.

“We wait and see first, we try to make the pills first and plan how to distribute them later. I will buy many sets of materials tomorrow.”

“Ya, I will follow Master.”'s orders

“By the way, Alex, usually you've come back an hour ago. So I was surprised to see you here when I came back earlier.”

"Ah... Teacher, I'll be back now. I'm too excited about Alchemy right now," Alex is too engrossed, she usually came back an hour ago to cook for Alicia.

--

"Have Alex forgotten me? She was an hour late from her usual schedule to return to the room and I hadn't eaten yet" Alicia rubbed her stomach. "Or did something happen to her?"

When he thought about this, he rushed to the door to look for Alex. As he opened the door, he saw Alex who was about to open the door as well.

"Alex!" Alicia shouted in excitement.

“Daughter..I'm sorry,” she feels a little guilty to him.

“Did something happen?” looking at Alex, he asked worriedly.

"No...Nothing happened, I was just too engrossed in my training," he said shyly.

"So..no bad thing happened? Good," she was relieved, but suddenly a 'roar' sound came from Alicia's stomach. After the two heard the voice, Alicia blushed.

"Ah..I will soon cook something for you, Princess."

After dinner, Aex said to Alicia, "Daughter, I think I'll be back in a few days."

"really? Don't worry about me. I can still eat in the cafeteria. Just be careful, okay?" he's still worried. Looks like she cares about Alex more than her stomach.

Alex is moved by Alicia's words, despite lying about doing training with the dean. He thought it was the safest lie he could do. However, he never expected that he would be so worried.

"All right, Princess. I see," Alex smiled, he decided to give her some peak Level Tempering Body Pills to increase her strength, "Umm...This is for you, Princess."

"What's that?" she smiles.

“What's next month's class ranking test?”

"Oh...I never explained this, We need to kill monsters in the Night Forest for two weeks. The whole process will be supervised by the teachers so as not to be too dangerous for us. His judgment will be determined by how many monsters we kill. This is a joint event with second grade students and third grade students."

He continued, "The monsters in the Night Forest are of relatively low level, even the king of the forest is a rank six ape that is in the core area."

"Core area?"

"Night Forest is divided into three areas. Outside, inner, and core areas. Outer area monsters were only rank 0 to rank 1, first grade students usually hunted in this area. Next was the inner area, the monsters that were here were rank 2 to rank 3 monsters. And second and third graders hunt here. And for the core area, the monster consisted of rank 4 and rank 5 with a rank 6 ape as the king of the forest. The geniuses of the third grade students hunted here."

"Rank 4 and rank 5.." murmured Alex. “I can try to kill in the inner area, if possible, I want to try in the core area.”

"What's that?" Alicia heard Alex mutter something. He warned, "You can hunt in the inner area because you have the power of a rank 3 but don't go to the core area, do you hear me?"

Given Alex's past actions, he believes Alex wants to go to the core area.

“I...” Alex surprised by Alicia's reaction.

“Please promise me you won't go to the core area,” Alicia stared intently at Alex.

“I have confidence to have the prowess of 4th rank before the event starts,” Alex does not back down. He tried to defend himself this once, although whether he would stand like this again or not, was still unclear in the future.

"You.." he sighed, "Okay. If you meet a powerful monster, please run, okay?"

"I...Well then, I understand Princess."

“Now I will explain other events for first-class students. After the class ranking, we'll be on vacation for two months. Then, we'll hold a normal class for three months. The next event was to kill monsters in the basement for a month."

"The Underground Prison? There's a dungeon in the world?"

"There are nine dungeons in this world. Four of them are located in human territory. One of them is in the Geisha City in the Kingdom of Zircodina, one of them is in the Holy Kingdom. The Kingdom of Acacia also has one and is in Maka city, only one day away from the capital, and the last day is still in our territory. However, the previous king decided to make the city under the jurisdiction of the Hunter guild."

“Buyer's Union?”

"You're an adventurer, right?"

Alex nodded in response to Alicia. 

"Adventures have many types of missions, such as stalking, guarding, or killing. But for Hunter, they specialized in killing monsters in the dungeon. They can sell monster parts in the Hunter guild."

"so...Then where's the rest of the dungeon?"

“Two of them are within the demi-human region, and the rest are in the demon territory,” he said.

Then, Alicia remembered something, “I almost forgot about this. There are three classifications for dungeons, low-class dungeons, middle-class dungeons, and high-level dungeons. The classification was based on the level of his monsters. Dungeons even had rank 9 monsters. But, people were still not deep enough to know what was inside the dungeon."

"Rank 9..." Alex muttered, 'System if I want to kill a rank 9 monster, I don't think basic sword arts or basic spear arts will be enough.'

[Host not to worry, System also has mid-level skills]

'Oh.. You're really great, System.'

[But Host needs to upgrade System first]

'...' Alex fell silent. The system had just silenced him after the System made him a little grateful, 'And his condition?'

[For the first System upgrade, Host needs to collect two thousand tickets]

'Two thousand? I can't get into the class rank in the night forest. Well, I'm not in a hurry, I should be able to finish it in the dungeon. But System, after this upgrade, can you cover your own path?'

[The system can probably do that]

'Oc...' Alex snapped at his mind

"Alexes...Alex..!"

"Are you listening?"

"Sorry, I'll listen to it now."

"I just said, you can't be rash in a dungeon. This dungeon event had a high death rate, not only commoners, but nobles could die inside the dungeon. These events usually get forty percent of students out of the academy because they are dead, disabled, or just plain cowardly."

"I'll be careful. Right, what grade dungeon is in Maka City?"

"Middle class."

"so. Is there an event after that?"

"Only a ranking competition for class rankings in a class improvement exam. This will determine your rank when we are in second grade. And you might not be interested in that."

Alex pondered his plan after this.

“It's late. Let's go to sleep,” Alicia yawns.

Alex just realized that the moon is almost over their heads. He nodded, “Ya, let's sleep now.”

Alicia nodded and went to sleep, "Alex, how about.." she hesitated. He actually wanted to go with Alex in the Night Forest.

“What's up, Princess?”

“Already,” he decided not to be a burden for Alex.

Alicia and Alex then go to bed. 

The next day, they just do the routine as usual. After training with Firia, Alex went back to the dean's workshop.

"Alex. I made another stove yesterday. The new one for you."

Alex looked at the cauldron that seemed to be multiplying. This new cauldron had the exact same look as the first cauldron.

“I have bought a thousand sets of drugs for each pill, and the medicine will arrive next week. For now, I managed to get a hundred sets for each pill.”

Alex nodded, "I'll refine the body antidote pill first."

Alex went towards his new cauldron, he inspected the cauldron carefully. Alex felt this new cauldron was better than the first cauldron. He should have been able to make a better pill with this. After having experienced making the cauldron, as an experienced forger, the dean could also make a better cauldron.

“Thank you, Teacher,” he said thank you.

"What does this 'thank you' mean? You are my disciple and my only successor, if I get too old who will take care of me if not you?" the dean said jokingly. 

Despite saying it as a joke, Alex takes it seriously. After all, the dean had treated him like a family.

There were a few tears in the corner of Alex's eyes, this was the feeling he had forgotten, the feeling of having a loving 'Family. The dean now considers him a family dean as well.

Alex calmed down a bit, then he focused on the cauldron in front of him. He took out a set of ingredients and purified it.

After four hours of refining a body forging pill, he managed to concoct forty-two pills from sixty sets of ingredients. That means five minutes for a set of ingredients. Now, he felt his Mana was empty. So he tiredly lay on the floor.

After a while, he looked at the pill he refined. Of the forty-two pills, four of them were trash pills, eighteen middle grade pills, fourteen top grade pills, and the rest were top grade pills.

The Dean refined another forty sets of materials. He managed to make two top quality pills. He looked at Alex's six top grade pills, he sighed. This must be the effect of Alex's talent and the Pure Fire Element. But secretly he was happy with Alex's achievement.

"Great work!" the Dean gave him water.

“Thank you, Master,” he directly sipped the water.

“What will you do with the pill?” ask dean.

"For the upper class, I'll eat it myself. After eating it, I will have a rank 4 prowess. The rest, I leave it to Master. Maybe you can make money to cover the cost of the materials?"

“Oh... You will not give the pill to the girl?” He teased Alex.

“Later I will perfect it after the next ingredients come,” Alex said calmly.

“From the looks of it, you plan to give it to some people.”

“Yes, I plan to give it to the Grand Duke, Madam, Alicia, and her sister, Firia, the king and crown prince, in my opinion. That means fifty-six pills. With my current percentage for the top grade pills. , the ingredients of the next batch are already more than enough for them."

The Dean was stunned after learning Alex was planning to give the pill to many people. But he also felt grateful, Alex remembered the kindness that others had shown him. However, he thought that was also a bit excessive. Especially with his decision to give the pill to the crown prince. He believes Alex already knows all members of the Rizertia household because there is only the grand duke and his wife, Alicia, and his two sisters. Then, he might want to avenge the king on his recommendation. As for the crown prince, so far there is no connection between Alex and him.

If the material is less, I can buy again,” said the dean.

For a while, the dean would only agree to it. He wants Alex to make his own decisions. He hopes Alex can grow from every decision he makes and every choice he faces. He will only support her from behind.

Hearing that, Alex's heart became warm, “Thank you Master.”

"Just eat the pills now, and come back soon. It's late."

"Yes." Yeah."

Alex took the pills one by one. After taking the pill, he felt refreshed. He realized his strength was now on par with a rank 4 warrior.

After taking the pill, Alex immediately said goodbye to the dean and left.

When she returned, Alicia closed her eyes, lying on the bed. So he cultivated peacefully.

Alex's status has improved significantly from before, especially his STR. Although his level was stagnant, including his rank because he had not killed any monsters after arriving in this city. He still needed to raise all of his status to 400 in order to make a breakthrough to the Qi Gathering Stage. After a long time, Alex concluded that each region was equal to one hundred points of each status.
