Chapter Index

    “Oh my.”

    That’s why I was stuck in the corner, whining like a rat looking for a hole.

    I couldn’t hide my sad feelings, so I sat down next to Yul.

    Since there was still time left, I wanted to sit down and rest a little longer.

    “How was I?”

    “You did extremely well. “I thought it was someone else.”

    “I don’t really remember. “I’m worried about whether I did a good job.”

    “It’s because I’m so nervous. It’s not strange. I thought someone else posted it? He was calm, his voice was clean and clear. It caught my ear. And it was especially great that we were able to overcome the vicious behavior of those who came to interfere.”

    “A loser? when?”

    Don’t you remember that you got rid of the evildoer cleanly?

    Yul looks puzzled as if this is the first time he’s seen this.

    “I told the alchemist who was arguing with you exactly. “Now is not the time for questions, so I’ll answer them later.”

    It was the first time I knew Yul was a person who could speak so firmly.

    “Is that what you were arguing about?!”

    “ah. “Is that the problem?”

    It’s not that I don’t remember, it’s that I couldn’t take that question as a fight.

    For some reason, I felt like I was taking it too casually.

    I felt sorry for him because he was so nervous that he didn’t even know that the attack was an attack.

    I felt like I wanted to go up on the podium with him.

    “I didn’t tell you because I was afraid you might be overly nervous, but Prince Il brought alchemists to attack you. Of course, Princess Mona did not stay still and brought an alchemist to help you.”

    “ah… ! “I didn’t know because I was so focused on the presentation.”

    “I’m just glad. “If I had known, I would have been swayed by that person’s wishes.”

    “Are you going to attack me during question time?”

    Yul’s expression sinks into gloom.

    I decided to let them know that there was no need for that.

    “no. Even if you wanted to attack, you couldn’t?”

    “You can’t? why?”

    “You hit back what you were hit with. I was trying to find a flaw in your perfect presentation and came up with a barely prepared excuse. “They didn’t just hit it off, they even trampled it without hesitation.”

    Who would have expected it?

    They pointed out that it was not a cure potion, and when they saw the bad news, they were going to make a surprise announcement that if you take it consistently, you can be completely cured.

    “… “I said that?”

    “Yes, you did.”

    “When on earth?”

    “What did you just do?”

    It’s clearly something he did, but he doesn’t seem to believe it.

    I think it’s really cute and also like the law to act like a jerk.

    Isn’t Yul’s identity to be infinitely foolish in areas other than alchemy?

    “We have already passed a big hurdle. Because they couldn’t find any flaws in your research presentation. Would you like to go outside now and check it out? “I can’t tell you how dumbfounded you are by your research.”

    If you look at that, you will realize that it makes no sense to be afraid of those guys.

    Does it make sense to forcibly steal the research results of a junior alchemist because of political issues when it is not enough to bless the future path of a junior alchemist?

    They were pathetic guys, and the dignity of an alchemist was something they gave away.

    “I want to check, but my legs don’t have any strength.”

    “Hmm, then I’ll support you like this. Then it will be a little easier.”

    If I used my abilities openly, I would receive negative attention, so I tried using my telekinesis to support Yul’s body.

    “how is it?”

    “uh… It’s definitely become more comfortable. “Did you use this ability?”

    “uh. It will be difficult to stand when you get on the platform, so you can continue to support your back like this. Then you can be a little more comfortable, right?”

    Yul seemed to have found it easier to stand now that he had something to lean on, so he got up safely.

    My legs still seem a bit shaky, but it was a relief to see him standing like that.

    “Or you could make it look like you’re sitting on a chair instead.”

    “no. I don’t think it would be a good idea to sit in front of senior alchemists. After resting, my stamina came back. Do not worry. “I will do well.”

    For someone who tells me not to worry, does he know that my complexion is pale?

    “Are you going to go see their faces?”

    “yes! i miss you.”

    If you watch it, the tension will probably decrease a lot.

    You will learn that it is not something to be afraid of.

    I took Yul to a place where I could spy on the people watching the demonstration.

    “Do you see those scruffy-looking guys gathered over there?”

    “yes. “I can see it.”

    “It’s them.”

    “uh… “It looks like you’re really engrossed in it.”

    “yes. That guy’s face turned red with jealousy. “It’s inevitable for ugly things to be jealous when they see the 18-year-old genius, beautiful alchemist.”

    “Yes?”

    Yul punches his side as if asking if I’m crazy about what I said.

    “That’s right? “An 18-year-old genius and beautiful alchemist.”

    “Aww, you must be crazy! “I’m telling you something like that so that if someone hears it, I’ll do something like that!”

    Yul is disgusted by this, saying that others will laugh at it if they hear it.

    Because I was so embarrassed, I felt like I had no choice but to bury the title of ’18-year-old genius beautiful alchemist’ in my heart.

    I’ll have to use it later if he says something about low self-esteem again.

    “Anyway, if you leave it like that and ask questions later, they will try to disparage the potion you developed in some way, so be careful.”

    “Even though you nod your head like that and like me?”

    They are also alchemists and seem to be curious about the alchemy potion developed by Yul.

    “It doesn’t matter to them how great the alchemy you developed is.”

    So you must never waver.

    It would be a loss to listen to what those alchemists say.

    “If the sponsor really reacts that way like you said… .”

    Yul’s expression sank low.

    Yul continued speaking in a calm voice.

    “I will not treat him like a senior alchemist.”

    “yes! “That’s exactly what I wanted.”

    It was the answer I was hoping for, and I raised my palm.

    Yul laughs and slaps his hand against my palm, making a cheerful sound.

    match!

    The demonstration was almost over.

    The demonstrator, whose hair had grown back, looked overwhelmed as if he was thrilled.

    ‘I really like it.’

    People watching this were also applauding.

    Clap clap clap clap!!!!!

    The time has come for Yul to step up to the podium again.

    “I think I should go up now.”

    “for a moment.”

    “?”

    He briefly stopped Yul from going up, placed his hand on his shoulder, and gave him a little strength as if he was handing over his power to Damon.

    This is something I found out after asking Damon a while ago, and he said it is possible to give strength to other people like you do to Damon.

    However, I have never applied a separate force until now because I was told that excessive force may cause side effects.

    “Cheer up. “A genius alchemist.”

    Yul said with a bright smile despite my dull words.

    “I’ll do well and come back.”

    Yul, who didn’t know that I had really put in the effort, clenched his fists with both hands.

    The ambitious Yul will do as he says.

    Yul will never be defeated by the alchemists who have no seniority, even if it is because of his anger towards them.

    ※ ※ ※

    “Kids these days!! “Aren’t they both rude and rude!!”

    “Don’t cry, man.”

    “How can you say something so harsh? “You don’t have any courtesy towards your seniors!”

    “You kept distracting me with strange things that didn’t even make sense. “I was a bit dumbfounded when I heard it.”

    “Then what should I do! Did you get there and just come back without being able to do anything? “If I hadn’t stepped forward like that, we would be being scolded by the prince’s nobles right now!”

    The reason they came here was to ruin the presentation.

    However, because the presentation was so perfect, I was completely dumbfounded and could not ask the right questions.

    I tried to refute it, but I couldn’t resist the junior alchemist’s refutation with a smiling face.

    The youngest alchemist here was forced by his seniors to represent him, but he was crushed badly.

    “Damn, didn’t you say you’re turning 19 next year?”

    “It did.”

    “But why do you know more than me?”

    “Isn’t it obvious? Anyone can see that he is a genius. “He developed a hair loss treatment at that age, so how could he possibly be a genius?”

    “When I saw it, it was because he was strange, not what you were lacking. “Don’t be too upset.”

    “Don’t be hypocritical! You should have helped me when I was asking questions on my own! “You didn’t say anything back then!”

    “Uh-huh! “Are you questioning your senior now?”

    “… … .”

    The junior alchemist pursed his lips as if he was speechless at his senior’s words.

    I was sick of the disgusting behavior of my seniors who pretended not to know that it was not their fault.

    “Oh, no. I’m not arguing… .”

    Meanwhile, I was leisurely watching the alchemists who had been stripped of their souls trudging out of the presentation hall with their shoulders slumped.

    The nobles of the Prince’s faction were looking at the alchemists who had been completely wiped out, as if they were pitiful.

    ‘Still, I’m not angry. ‘I thought you’d get angry and say I was so stupid.’

    It seemed like the nobles over there also had human mercy.

    In fact, cursing the alchemists who had their souls stolen by a junior alchemist calling them stupid was no different from proving that he was a person with an antisocial personality disorder whose love for humanity had been shattered.

    “You gave a really good presentation.”

    Princess Mona approached me and spoke to me.

    “Ah, princess. Was the presentation okay?”

    “It was beyond my expectations. “It was especially thrilling when I tightly shut the mouths of the alchemists sent by Prince I.”

    Princess Mona seemed to have liked Yul’s presentation today.

    “I want to meet the child who announced, can I go now?”

    Since I was planning to introduce Yul to the princess, I quickly responded to her words.

    “Yes, let’s go together.”

    I was worried that I might be sitting on the floor alone like before.

    When we headed backstage with the princess, fortunately, Yul was sitting on a chair and not on the floor.

    He must have been enjoying the feeling of relief that it was all over, and he was very free, so he walked up to her, grabbed her shoulders, and shook her body slightly.

    “Yul-ah.”

    “eww… I’m a sponsor… .”

    “are you okay?”

    “yes.”

    “You don’t look okay.”

    “It’s all over. So it’s okay. “You’ll get better if you get some rest.”

    “Oh my.”

    There was still work to do with the princess, and I wondered what would happen if it was stretched out like this.

    When he looked at the princess with an embarrassed expression, she shook her head and told him not to announce her presence.
