96. Surpass the teacher.

Another week has already passed.

Fortunately, the princess did not show any more strange behavior. He just treated me like he always did.

But that didn’t mean the events of that day disappeared.

‘It’s clear that he likes me.’

The appearance was clearly that of a woman in love.

Of course, the princess still seemed confused.

Should we say, more accurately, that he was not properly aware of his own mind?

‘Because you won’t have any romantic experience.’

So I also stayed still. There was no need to make a big deal out of it.

And this issue wasn’t really that important.

Currently, something very big has happened to me.

“We are out of antibiotics…”

It was like that.

I had used up all the antibiotics that I believed were my last resort.

If I had written it alone, I would have been able to survive.

But there were people I had to protect.

‘Should I not have given it to Pierre? no. Still, I’m a loyalist…’

Last time, Pierre, the strongest genius, got sick with a stroke. One of my close associates was at stake.

So I had no choice but to give him antibiotics. And with the little bit of water left, he even treated Dubalton. There was nothing I could do because I felt like I would die if I left it alone.

‘Because it was leftover water anyway.’

Of course, it wasn’t just the loss. Pretending to be a saint boosted my reputation once again.

Even the students who did not believe that I was a saint came to believe in me.

Now I can only see posts praising me in the community. It was restored to its original reputation.

but…

‘My expectations have grown so much.’

Now all the students are only looking at me. This was the case not only for students, but also for professors. All the academy officials only wanted to see my success.

Of course, the pressure was no joke.

‘We’ve run out of antibiotics, and it’s a stressful situation…’

Moreover, in this situation, the teacher also collapsed.

“My, my money…!! I can’t fall down like this… Ugh…!”

In the end, he collapsed from overwork. It was literally like adding insult to injury.

It was fortunate that neither the saint nor the elf princess contracted the disease. If both of them were in pain, it would have been difficult to bear.

‘Phew, let’s stop feeling sorry and start again.’

I threw away the container that contained the antibiotics. Now there was only empty unification. If you feel regretful, it will only hinder your concentration.

Currently, Master was lying in the corner of the laboratory. It wasn’t a big pain, I just collapsed from overwork.

Anyway, from now on I had to do the research on my own. I could see that there was no room for regret.

I quickly used my microscope magic. And the water droplets were enlarged.

Hwaaa New Al_!!

Then, disgusting microorganisms began to appear. In particular, octopus-shaped microorganisms were running wild.

‘Still active even after time passes. I made a really creepy guy.’

At first, I thought I could get rid of him easily. Since the Archmage had his pocketbook, he knew that everything would be resolved.

But nothing could go as I thought.

‘It’s clear that the materials in the pocket were used to make the bottle. But the cure isn’t enough.’

It was not for nothing that the Demon King proposed to the King of Aachen in a confident manner. I made that suggestion because I thought we wouldn’t be able to create something like a cure.

‘In fact, the King of Aachen must have experimented with many things.’

The royal family must have also conducted various studies. However, since they all failed, it was highly likely that they had made some kind of agreement with the Demon King.

of course…

‘There is a method that has not been used yet.’

I didn’t give up.

It was clear that the situation was not good.

There was no teacher to help me, and there were no antibiotics.

Additionally, there was a shortage of food in Trier. I knew it wouldn’t be possible to last even a week.

But you know what?

My life has always been this difficult.

When I first started working as a mercenary, when I learned magic, and when I joined a warrior party.

It was all painful and difficult.

It was almost impossible to bear.

But somehow I persevered and achieved the result.

That could well be the case this time too.

‘good. Let’s do it.’

I quickly started looking through the ingredients list.

This time, I will try a method I have never used before. Although there was a gambling aspect to it, I couldn’t help it.

‘I’m going in the opposite direction of what the teacher did.’

Master focused on eliminating those microorganisms. So I used a lot of poison. The goal was to find a poison that could only kill microorganisms.

But I erased that thought.

‘I’ve already tried all the poisons. But it didn’t work. So, do the opposite.’

Do you know what?

There is a saying that too much of anything becomes poisonous.

No matter how excellent a medicine is, if taken in excess, it is no different from poison.

And I was going for it.

‘Rather, it helps the activity and growth of those microorganisms.’

The plan was to encourage growth and cause self-destruction. This is why I called it a gambling move.

‘If it grows endlessly… it will fail.’

But somehow my intuition was telling me this was the right direction. And I trusted my intuition.

“Let’s see… I heard that platinum carp scale powder is so good for stamina…”

I moved my hands quickly and started experimenting.

Ingredients that are said to be good for stamina or ingredients that are good for growth were thrown in. Of course, these things were expensive. But now was not the time to discuss price.

‘It’s an ingredient that the archmage had anyway. ‘It doesn’t matter if I use it all.’

I repeated the experiment without sparing any money.

Has it been like that for about a day?

“Phew…now please be successful…”

I was already quite exhausted. I stayed up all day. Fortunately, the 3rd Awakening was able to withstand it because of its strong body.

In addition, almost all of the ingredients are now gone. The great wizard’s pockets, which had been so rich, were beginning to show their end.

Low stamina and insufficient materials.

If you look at these two alone, it will look pretty bleak.

But it was strange.

My expression didn’t look that bad.

Rather, there was an unknown hope in his expression.

“Please…!”

I raised my hand with a mixture of hope and desperation.

There was a purple liquid floating on my hand.

It could be seen as the culmination of all the hard work done so far.

And the liquid slowly began to go downward.

To be precise, it was heading down toward a small drop of water.

I watched the water droplets magnified through the magic of a microscope. There were still disgusting microorganisms inside. It was still moving actively.

And soon the purple liquid came into contact with the water droplet.

Woe!

Then the change occurred.

Surprisingly, the microorganisms began to grow in size in an instant.

Additionally, movements have become more active.

If you look at this alone, you will think that you have failed. This means that you have made the disease worse.

But did they say it’s not over until it’s over?

This experiment was also the same.

Soon something unbelievable began to appear.

The octopus-shaped microorganisms that had been growing endlessly began to show abnormal reactions.

I was twisting my body and struggling, and it felt like I was in pain.

‘good. little bit more…!’

Up to this point, it had already been successful. But I couldn’t go any further than this. The end was for him to suffer.

But this time it will be different. I believed that and watched the results.

‘I just added ordinary mugwort powder… but it will probably be different.’

This guy especially liked mugwort. When mugwort was given to them, they responded more actively.

‘Master thought that the more expensive the material, the better it worked. But no. Even commonly found ingredients are effective enough.’

Mugwort was clearly an ordinary ingredient that could be found anywhere. But I saw potential here.

‘please…!’

Soon the guy’s struggles stopped.

It was as if he had stopped because he was exhausted.

Clearly, this was a reaction that had never been shown before.

And for a moment my eyes opened wide.

surprisingly.

Crispy.

This was because its body began to decompose and disappear.

It seemed as if it could not sustain any further growth and would collapse.

I shouted out loud at that sight.

“That’s it!! It’s success!!”

Finally succeeded.

We have finally created a cure for that disgusting disease.

It was a touching moment.

I thought that if I believed in myself and worked hard consistently, I would get good results.

For the first time in a long time, I experienced great joy. A joy came that was comparable to that of achieving the third awakening.

“What, what’s going on?!”

At that time, the teacher who was lying down suddenly got up.

The timing was great too. This is what happens when you see something like this.

I told Master this news with a happy face.

“Master!!”

“Yeah, right. My disciple.”

“I finally succeeded in making a cure!!”

In a way, it was like surpassing my teacher. Of course, even though it was just this one time, it could be seen as a very surprising thing.

Of course I thought Master would be happy. There is no teacher who does not rejoice in the achievements of his students.

but…

“Well, like that…”

Instead, Master bowed his head. It seemed like a very disappointed face.

“Master?”

I didn’t understand so I called Master.

Now Master will be safe too. Because I created a cure.

Moreover, the student showed amazing achievements.

But strangely enough, the Master’s reaction did not seem positive.

And I could see why.

“4,000 gold of my money…”

It was like that.

The master was more disappointed with the 4,000 gold he did not receive as a bonus than with his student’s accomplishments.

It could truly be seen as a Donmisae among Donmisae.

“Ha…”

I sighed in shock.

Even if I fell and got up again, it seemed like nothing had changed.

I left the regretful Master behind and prepared to go upstairs.

Now it was time to reveal to the world that a cure had been developed.

‘There are still human experiments left… but there isn’t enough time to do them.’

In any case, there were too many patients. You can check by administering it directly to their bodies.

And my guess is that it will work 100%. The intuition of the 3rd awakened person was shouting that.

So I left the blank-faced Master and headed to the ground.

It was barely possible to get from underground to above ground.

But this small act will really make a big difference.

‘Maybe the whole world will know my name.’

So is that so?

There was a bright smile on my face. It was a very refreshing smile.

And this smile…

‘Phew, 4,000 gold has solidified.’

The bonus to be given to the teacher was solidified, so that was also included to some extent.

I could truly say that I was the disciple of the teacher.
