After big brother left, some people went to the arena to clear the rest of the battle. They also put some things like the big furnace of a traditional pizza grill in my previous life. Merely, those furnaces were made of materials that I did not know about. And there's a big hole on it.
According to what I know, after the battle challenge, next is the challenge of the Alchemist Division students. Alchemy is not only limited to making potions and poisons, but also mixing materials to be forged. I know it all from my sister.
But usually they'll take one of those subdivisions to study. As for an Alchemist, they would learn how to make potions or poison. And for the forgers, usually they would prefer to study the manufacture of materials for their use. Of course there are special professions that only study the manufacture of materials for them to sell to forgers.
The materials that such people sell are usually of higher quality because they only have one science, namely material manufacturing, so their knowledge of material making will be more profound than the forgers.
They choose one not because they are lazy, but because all subdivisions are a very complex and complicated lesson that will take a long time to be able to learn. If they take all the subdivisions, their time to learn will be divided, as a result they cannot learn all the knowledge perfectly.
Like physicists, they are not necessarily chemists, and chemists are not necessarily physicists either. They had to learn one of them so that they could truly master it.
Preparation for the next challenge place runs long enough because many objects must be moved, including various types of plants and metal ores that are still raw.
Rovell:"Are all the Alchemist divisions going to challenge Filia simultaneously?."
Harnas:"It looks like so."
Rovell:"Then, how do they judge, isn't making potions and making materials two different things?."
Harnas:"Okay, I'll ask Arsh."
Mother stood up and went to the venue where the instructors were. Even though the principal was a second wife, they were not legally married yet, so it was not good for him to sit with us in the Rosefield family seat.
Moments later, mom came back. He said that this was the request of brother.
Leonis:"Well... I remember the report from the royal research site. It seems like they managed to refine the potion recipe because they obtained the Sempel from the academy."
Sophia:", It was a potion given by Miss Filia, father."
Leonis:"Occi... So it's true that way. If so, perhaps he intended to challenge the Alchemist Division simultaneously. After all he was also extremely outstanding in terms of matter."
Elion:"What do you mean by a mother's birthday present?."
Leonis:"Yes, that's right."
Harnas:"Wait, what do you mean?."
The mother who had just sat on the chair asked the king curiously. Everyone was talking about the big brother match with the Alchemist Division, how could it suddenly go to the re-bounty tofu?.
Leonis:"If I say it, you'll be envious."
Rovell:"What do you mean?."
Father also asked the king impatiently.
Elion:"Miss Filia made a special magic wand for Mother's birthday gift."
"What...!" 2x
Mom and Dad were surprised to hear that. I don't know what surprised them both.
Harnas:"How, how could he make a magic wand for someone else, while he has not even given me something he made with his own hands. This... I have to go see the thing myself."
Mom immediately stood up and prepared to go with dad to see the magic wand that brother made for the queen's gift. Before the father and mother left, the king stopped them both.
Leonis: "You can't see it right now."
Rovell:"Why?."
Father asked dissatisfiedly. True what the king said, father and mother would be envious and make a fuss.
Leonis:"It was stored in a safe place."
The three of them looked at each other in silence. After a while, the mother snorted angrily then sat down with a sullen face. Father was a little better, but the vexation on his face could not be hidden. I was sure that their conversation held a certain meaning so that father and mother were willing not to look at that thing at this time. Maybe it is a secret that should not be said in this place. So father and mother also do not pursue it for fear that what they will reveal can harm sister.
Although the preparations for the next challenge were quite long, none of the spectators had moved from their seats. The most excited were the students and adventurers who were also present.
In winters like this, adventurers rarely go out on quests unless there are special requests or urgent quests like monster attacks on populated villages. To fill the free time, usually the adventurers will go to several bars scattered in the capital. So the moment they knew that the academy arena was going to hold a challenge, they came to take a look.
These days those who are just a fad want to see the fun really come along to have fun and look forward to the next challenge. Could it be that the battle of big brother earlier made them excited?.
Finally not waiting any longer, the participants went into the arena one by one. out of the whole, there were around twenty students from the upper and middle classes. When you come, only one leading place is left by the other students. I don't know why, but they seem to want to make you the center of attention. Well, it might just be because they were afraid of brother cheating, so by putting brother at the very front, big brother's chance of cheating would be very small.
"Come on... Princess Filia can do it..!"
"Yes, Daughter of Philia, defeat them all!."
"..."
Harnas:"What's wrong with them?"
Mother looked puzzled as she watched the students and students from the low and middle classes cheering on sister. Mother was confused not because they were the same low-class students as big brother, but they were students from the Alchemist Division and from the forging divisions of the low and middle classes who were supposed to support their own divisions.
Sophia:"That's because miss Philia taught them about Alchemy. So, they believed in Miss Filia for having seen her abilities firsthand."
It turns out like that. After being explained by Sophia's daughter, everyone realized why they were supporting the older sister.
Big brother just stood by the furnace taking notice of the materials available on his desk. There are eight types of Ore and several sets of ingredients to make various types of potions that must be processed by students.
Eight types of Ore, students can choose several types of ore to be combined into a material. I don't know what materials can be made from the ore-ore blend, but there are likely to be some kind of alloy material that can be made.
Alchemist students from both sub divisions had already started a fire. It was not a real fire, but it was the essence fire from which they were. Big brother once mentioned that such a fire of mana essence would carry the special nature of his mana type.
For example, someone has a water type. If that person wanted to do alchemy, then the essence fire he could create would also have the nature of water. Same with any other type. Each type of mana, requires different controls because the nature of each type where will vary.
However, there was a way that one could obtain fire-type fire essence even though he had a water-type mana. That is by taking the essence of the fire-type mana from nature and storing it in a special Mana Vessel within the body so that it does not clash with the original mana.
Because humans in general do not have such a mana vessel, so they need to make a new mana vessel in his body and it will cause a very tremendous pain at its formation.
I had wanted to try it once, but brother forbade me because my body was still too fragile. Big brother was afraid that if I did, then where the vessel in my body would actually be damaged due to the wild energy while trying to form a new mana vessel.
As the elder brother explained, the fire essence of the students had different colors depending on which type they had.
Seeing that they had started, brother just pondered near the furnace without taking any action as if brother was thinking about something.
Colorful flames lit up throughout the arena. The winter chill disappears as the air temperature begins to rise, caused by the flames. All the participants started to sort out the ingredients they wanted to use for alchemy.
An upper-class female student looked very conspicuous. Her appearance was graceful with long blonde hair that was slightly wavy. She was wearing a beautiful white dress with silver embroidery. His face looked solemn as he sorted out the various kinds of strange plants that I did not know what the use was.
There was no tension or pleasure on his face. He looked very calm and focused on taking care of his own affairs without paying attention to the surroundings.
After he chose the ingredients he wanted, he started cooking those ingredients. He put a red plant into the furnace. The fire in the furnace swayed gently following its mana control.
The flame temperature must be controlled appropriately so that the essence of the plant does not burn. The plant began to wither and hiss took out foam from its stem. It was like wet wood burned by fire.
Branze:"The student is very calm and the control is very stable."
"Yes, it was the first daughter of Viscount Sapientia, Rumi Sapientia."
Branze:"He has incredible talent. Maybe all I can do is beat him..."
He did not finish his words, but his eyes looked towards the elder brother who was still calmly choosing the ingredients without rushing over. Looking at those eyes, everyone was clear. Even Viscount Sapientia who was also at this venue could only smile helplessly.
After choosing the ingredients, brother did not immediately start, but brother stopped doing his business, and switched to pay attention to the other participants who focused on their respective furnaces.
Sister's gaze also led to that girl named Rumi. He had a smile on the corner of his mouth. When you smile like that to someone, it means you are interested in that person.
The Rumi girl successfully completed her first extraction. A somewhat turbid liquid dripped from the red plant and floated above the flames. The liquid moved slowly towards the girl and she held her in a sealed glass container.
Big brother nodded but he also shook his head. Since big brother was the center of attention, everyone saw big brother's expression.
The girl continued to extract other medicinal plants into the furnace and then separated each liquid in a different glass bottle. One of the bottles is put back in the furnace with the liquid in it. After a while, the liquid boiled in high temperature.
After the color is brownish, the girl Rumi again took the bottle. He cooled it for a while. After cooling, the liquid hardens like heated sugar. The liquid that had turned into a solid was crushed into a fine white powder.
There are a few more liquids that are turned into powder. After all the ingredients were processed, he mixed them in a certain order while heating them in a high-temperature fire.
A moment later, all the ingredients that were mixed began to react when they were boiled together. Any steam bubbles that erupt will spread a fragrant and refreshing aroma.
A round object formed slowly and eventually became perfectly round in the middle of the elemental blue flame of water.
Brother once told me that there are three types of potions. The first is pills. Potions in pill form are easier to use when fighting, but require a certain time before the effect is active because it needs to be digested first.
The medicine in the girl's hand was as big as marbles and was a pure green color that was slightly transparent like a small glass ball. Inside it looks like there are clouds that continue to roil in the wind.
"What medicine is this?"
"I've seen it before."
Branze:"This is «Recovery cloud pill». If anyone were to take this pill, then his body would give off a kind of mist that could continuously heal him in battle. Usually pills like this will be used by soldiers in the battlefield. This pill alone required a skill that was the class of a royal Alchemist to make it."
"Realously talented. Congratulations to the Viscount for having such an outstanding descendant."
Hugo:"Yes, maybe it's my luck to have a gifted child."
....
The process of making potions by Rumi's girl took about an hour. During this time, brother only saw her without doing anything else.
After finishing making the potion, the Rumi girl put the pill into a glass bottle then sat on a chair near her leg while looking at all the other participants. Finally his gaze fell on the smiling brother towards him. The Rumi girl smiled back and nodded.
Finally after most of the participants had almost finished their alchemy, big brother started to make a move. The first material you choose is a plant that has many small, round leaves that have never been chosen by other participants.
The leaves of the plant are a beautiful green color with no other patches of color. It's the greenest leaf I've ever seen.
Branze:"Oh, miss Filia chose an emerald bead for the first ingredient."
"I've never seen another participant choose the plant before. Is there something strange about the plant?."
Hearing that question, master Branze shook his head with a smile.
Branze:"There's nothing wrong with that plant. It's just that the small size of the leaves will be very flammable before the liquid in them in the extract. In order to process that plant, the control of which an Alchemist had to be extremely high. So the other students don't want to risk failure."
I picked a tough plant at the beginning. It caught everyone's attention. Even the participants who were resting after finishing their alchemy also turned their attention towards big brother.
In the furnace of the originally silent brother, suddenly a streak of white silver flames lit up inside. The flame was not as big as the flames of the other participants. It is only the size of a thumb. As the medicinal plants floated above the flames, the small flame swayed slightly and turned into many strands of silver thread.
The swaying flame thread slowly touched every little leaf of the plant. Silver flame threads pierced the surface of the leaves like sharp little needles.
The small green leaves suddenly began to lose their color. The smooth surface of the leaves began to wrinkle and wither. The pure green liquid floated slowly from the surface of each leaf and clumped into a single lump as big as the tip of a little finger.
It was not a turbid liquid like the one the other students were extracting, but rather a completely pure green liquid without the slightest trace of dirt. After the liquid in it was successfully extracted, the plant turned into ash which was removed by the brother in a special container.
Branze:"Very pure. Usually the liquid extracted will be turbid because it mixes with the soot excrement of the burned plant, but this is very clean. Even though he was a high-level Alchemist, it was impossible to get rid of the impurities completely. But it's totally pure. How's it possible?."
Leonis:"Is it really that hard?."
Branze:"Your Majesty. All this time the Alchemists in the lab kept wondering if it was possible to extract a very pure medicinal liquid. But until now nothing has worked. The purest medicinal liquid that we managed to extract was only about 60. But the liquid that Miss Filia has extracted has a purity of at least above 80% or even 90%."
"It's no longer a talent."
"Direful. His abilities are amazing."
"Once again, the House of Rosefield will have a strong buffer."
Two geniuses, father and mother, also came from the Rosefield family. And this time, the older brother in the grades had much higher talent than the father and mother. Of course everyone would be envious.But that was also not a good thing for big brother. The one who envied the Rosefield family would not allow the Rosefield family to become even stronger.
From some places, I've felt some unpleasant glances directed at us. My intuition became very strong after the hard training of big brother and the completion of the embryo quest.
But I'm not too worried. With big brother's strength, the one who could harm him might have died in the past and would not be reborn.
Big brother still did not care about the discussion of the spectators, he was still focused on extracting the next medicinal plant. This time the elder brother chose fruits that looked like wine, but were dark red in color.
When heated, the fruit trembled and shone with a faint red light as if it wanted to fight the flames. Despite the resistance, the fire elder sister burned the plant easily.
A crystal-clear red liquid emerged from the plant. Different from other students who need to put their extracted liquid into a bottle, the liquid that has been extracted by the brother remains floating in the corner of the furnace without the need to be moved to another container first.
There are about twenty ingredients that you use from different types of plants. No one can guess what kind of medicine big brother wants to make. Even the Alchemists and instructors were unable to identify what kind of abat big brother made based on the materials he chose.
At first glance, you only choose the ingredients, but if you have a keen eye, you choose each ingredient carefully and cook each ingredient in a certain rhythm. And it will not be separated from the eyes of the knowledgeable people who watch in the stands.
After the twenty ingredients were successfully extracted, the white silver fire in the furnace became extinguished. The medicinal liquid was still floating within the furnace without any interruption. According to Mr. Branze, the medicinal liquid should be damaged if left in the open air for too long. But the medicinal ingredients sister did not, because there was a very thin white silver flame wrapping around the liquids to keep the quality and temperature stable.
Looking at the twenty kinds of colorful liquids inside the furnace, big brother smiled. He seemed satisfied with the result. Different from the other exhausted students, big brother remained calm as usual, as if big brother was just a person looking from the side without doing anything.
Those twenty medicinal liquids flew slowly from within the furnace and floated above the palm of brother's hand. Not only was the medicinal liquid, but some kind of ore that was on the table also flew into the palm of the other brother's hand.
The silver-white flame with a flash of electricity in the surroundings instantly lit up from brother's hands. Make the temperature of the surrounding air become hot. The roar of electricity sounded like the boisterous chirping of birds.
The medicinal liquid flew into the fire that was in big brother's right hand, while Ore gathered in big brother's left hand.
The twenty medicinal liquids were spinning slowly in the middle of the flame and began to fuse into one. The twenty liquids that merged formed a lump the size of two adult palms. The liquid kept spinning and wriggling.
Hard reactions occur that make the surface of the liquid very turbulent and unstable. The person who saw it would be worried that the medicinal liquid would explode in the next moment.
But it didn't happen. The colorful medicinal liquid was increasingly mixed into a greenish-red color. White smoke billowed from the liquid and spread the extremely delicate aroma of herbs all over the place.
As brother clenched his right hand, the liquid within the fire also began to shrink. The viscous liquid was pushed back by a large pressure that was not visible until it was compressed into a solid red pill with beautiful transparent green stripes on its surface, like an ornate glass ball. The pill that floated in the hands of brother could not be called a pill, but a kayak to be called a jewel ball.
A green and red light shot out from the pill in big brother's hands like a small sun. Brother immediately grabbed the pill and put it in a glass bottle.
When he finished, he did not relax. But he turned his attention to the left hand, a place where five kinds of ores swirled around.
Those five Ore began to melt into a red hot liquid. Brother fused the five liquids into one. As if rejecting each other, the five liquids immediately parted. I thought that it was a failure, but big brother's expression looked very relaxed, so I was sure that big brother did do it on purpose.
Once again, the five liquids collided with each other. Each collision would create sparks to the surroundings. Many pieces of metal and iron impurities fell to the ground. The process was repeated dozens of times very quickly.
"He didn't hit the iron to get rid of the dirt, but hit each other. I've only seen things like that for the first time."
A short man with big muscles and a bushy beard said excitedly. He was a dwarf who had a workshop in the capital. Although the clothes looked chaotic and somewhat dirty, he was a forger that the kingdom trusted so much, that he had a place in this venue.
After dozens of collisions, my brother stopped doing it. The five hot metallic liquids continued to float within the flame. This time, the five hot liquids began to flow slowly and met the center of the circle formed by the five metal liquids chasing each other.
The metal liquid is mixed slowly and stably. It didn't take long, the five hot liquids fused together completely.
Not stopping there, brother pulled out a golden hammer in his right hand. After waiting for the iron liquid to solidify, brother forged the liquid into a metal ingot, then punched it continuously until it became a thin, elongated metal slab.
Big brother folded back the metal plate and continued to hammer. The brother repeated the process dozens of times nonstop. The loud clanking sounds of metal clashing against each other filled the entire place, attracting the attention of everyone.
Students who had not finished their work also stopped to see what big brother was doing. After a while, big brother stopped and let the metal ingot cool itself.
Once it cooled down, everyone could see a dull gray square metal ingot. Rather than metal, it looks more like an inconspicuous square stone.
"It's a shame...!"
"Did that fail?."
"Maybe he really can't forge and just try. It's a pity."
"Yes, but his medicinal refining ability is really quite admirable.he still deserves to be a winner."
"Yes!."
.....
The audience began to regret the failure of brother in making the material. But did it really fail?. Looking at from the expression of brother who was not disappointed, I'm sure it didn't fail.
Although some of the nobles in this venue were also talking about it, no one spoke badly. They just shook their heads in disappointment.
The older brother again took out a large glass container with a transparent blue liquid inside. With a metal clamp, brother took the ingot and dipped it into the liquid.
After letting the metal ingot for a while inside the liquid, the elder brother took it back. When the ingot is removed, the blue liquid on the surface of the ingot immediately dries out. The gray layer on the surface of the ingot began to peel off and fall to the ground bit by bit, revealing a golden light within.
The brother placed the ingot on a silver metal tray that the academy had prepared. Everyone could see a pure gold metal ingot with a reddish-plated line like gold-colored damascus steel.
The metal ingot gave off an extremely dazzling reddish-golden light. Seeing the result, big brother nodded slightly, as if satisfied with what he made. Besides the ingot, he also placed a glass bottle containing pills to hand over to the judges who judged it.
Looking at the expression of big brother who was waiting for the assessment calmly while sitting down, I was a little annoyed. It is clear who won, is the assessment still needed?!.
