There was a reason why Lunarin thought that way about Edin.

First of all, because he knows the environment he finds himself in very well.

Previously, I had formed a temporary party of three with Claude and Edin to carry out a request.

She was one of the few people who watched their activities right from the side.

What is commonly known is how active the hero Claude was.

And how talented he is.

In fact, Lunalin wasn’t interested in Edin at first.

He was just a little interested in the fact that Claude, a rising rookie like him, was a C-rank adventurer that he kept by his side.

Most of the attention was focused on Claude.

However, seeing Claude in person was more disappointing than expected.

It’s not that I don’t have any knowledge about dungeons, monsters, terrain, etc., but it is quite shallow.

There was a time when I let my guard down and allowed an effective hit to a C-rank monster.

‘Is he an asshole?’

It was to the point where I doubted whether I had properly graduated from the Adventurer Academy.

Of course, the ability itself was very outstanding.

Whether or not an effective hit was allowed, it was simply suppressed with overwhelming magical power and abilities.

‘It’s no big deal. ‘Are they barbarians?’

As interest in Claude cooled, my eyes naturally turned to Edin, who supported him from behind.

‘portion…’

Various types of potions used at the right time.

Even the performance is considerable.

‘That’s B rank… I’d pay 50-60 silver for one.’

High-grade potions and consumables become exponentially more expensive.

This is because the number of people who can make it is decreasing.

It’s not that you can’t get it at B rank, but it’s still quite expensive.

50 silver is enough money to eat and sleep comfortably at an inn for about two weeks.

No matter how good Claude is these days, why does he use such expensive items so casually?

I heard you were just a commoner from a rural village.

“Did you buy that?”

In the end, I couldn’t contain my curiosity and asked Edin.

Her personality, which couldn’t contain her curiosity, was ruined.

“Oh, I made it myself.”

“…?!”

When told that she made it herself, her eyes widened.

An alchemist who can make B-rank level potions.

I thought he was a much better talent than I thought.

I wondered why Claude was taking such a C-rank adventurer with him, but there was a reason.

Because his body’s strength was relatively weak, he couldn’t rise to C rank, but his alchemy skills more than made up for it.

‘He’s definitely a talent that even A-rank adventurer parties would covet at this level.’

In fact, she was more interested in Edin than Claude.

However, it was after that that I started to become more interested.

“Khaha. And I did it all by myself.”

“Good job, Claude. Here is the stamina potion.”

“Hmph. I do not need. I wasn’t that tired.”

As time passed, I realized that the relationship between Claude and Edin was different from what I thought.

Claude was basically not the type to trust potions or consumables made through alchemy.

When I later asked his classmates at the Adventurer’s Academy, they basically said they didn’t believe in anything other than their own abilities.

‘There are often people like that.’

People who think their power is the best in the world.

Those who say they don’t need help from trivial consumables.

Among those who usually grew up quickly and reached high positions on their own without any help, there were many who had such a tendency.

But Lunalin knows.

‘None of those guys get really high.’

One of three.

Either I realize that my strength alone is not enough and I become rehabilitated.

For the rest of my life, I can’t reach a certain level and struggle.

…or die of pride.

Anyway, not only did I have a guy like that as a colleague, but he was so talented that he was mentioned as a candidate for hero at the time.

Edin’s alchemy was always in the background.

Chopping herbs, purchasing ingredients, etc. to make potions.

Not only did he not spend money on such things, but he thought it was a loss to even spend time on such things.

So Edin always used low-quality herbs that he dug up in a hurry, and used alternative ingredients that he could buy at low prices to perform alchemy.

However, as I saw for myself, the items he created were of such a quality that it was impossible to believe that they were made from low-quality materials.

Healing potions, status recovery potions, poisoning, sticky, pheromones, etc.

If such materials were used, low-quality products below D rank would have to be produced.

It’s at a level where you can buy a bundle at a local grocery store for a few silver coins.

But surprisingly, the things he created were B-rank level items.

These were items of good quality that even A-rank adventurers could use.

‘It’s truly ridiculous to achieve that level of performance given the time and materials required.’

I thought he definitely had some special skill.

So, considering it was very rude to the alchemist, I asked him to let me tour the potion manufacturing process just once.

‘Well, considering that I asked after thinking about it for several days, I received it very kindly.’

As if she wasn’t hiding anything, Edin accepted her request without any hesitation.

That’s how the alchemy process began.

Lunarin could not help but be astonished when she saw the process.

‘Nothing was different.’

Extraction, separation, purification, concentration, mixing.

There were more processes if broken down in detail, but basically potion manufacturing can be divided into these five processes.

And Edin was doing something unimaginable during that process.

The basic process is the same.

It’s just that… the material that went through the process with ridiculous precision came out with a purity of over 90%.

Because Lunarin could use emotional magic, she could tell the difference, otherwise she wouldn’t have been able to tell what was different.

‘It’s not human technology.’

Monstrous concentration and precision.

It seemed like I could understand why he showed the process so casually.

‘Even if a 100-year-old alchemist old man comes, he won’t be able to imitate that.’

Bare hands without any equipment.

Moreover, such high purity can be extracted from low-quality ingredients.

I have met quite a few alchemists, but this is an almost impossible feat.

To achieve that level of precision, I don’t know, but wouldn’t it be possible to have an ultra-precision refining device from the Alchemist’s Guild that can produce millions of gold per unit?

Even in harsh environments, he produces quality beyond imagination with transcendent concentration and precision.

However, it was understandable that Edin had low self-esteem, as the best products made in this way were treated as if they were poor.

Because you don’t know your own talent.

You have to have used it properly to know how great it is.

But it’s not like I’ve seen other alchemists’ processes.

‘Are you wasting this talented monster?’

That’s why Lunalin hated Claude.

No, it was more than just hating it, it was to the point of loathing it.

Taking a genius from an entire continent and just doing it is like playing a hero while treating him like a scoundrel.

Of course, his natural talent is acknowledged, but even so, he would be dismissed as an S-rank adventurer.

If you think about geniuses in other fields who did not become adventurers, there would be about 40 to 50 people across the continent with similar talent.

Right now, isn’t Lunarin Brettis a similar candidate for a warrior?

But Edin is unique.

Even if you search the entire continent, is there really a person who can achieve the same level of performance as a high-precision magical engineering device that could only be operated by a large guild or country?

At most, there will be a wizard or warrior who can produce firepower similar to that of a strategic weapon of destruction.

That was the reason Lunarin was in such a fuss because she wanted to get him out at all costs.

One of the few people who recognized his true worth was himself.

Because I wanted to see how amazing his potion would be if he created it in a perfect environment.

Of course, it’s not just that.

His level of adventurer knowledge is more extensive than that of the academy’s teachers, and unlike Claude, he is very polite and good-natured.

Even a plain, yet friendly and simple appearance.

Everything else was Lunarin’s preference as well.

But now, a genius opportunity has come to recruit him again.

‘Claude, that stupid bastard, eventually abandoned Edin.’

The world’s most expensive jewel has fallen to the dirt and is rolling around unclaimed.

And the only one who knows the true value of that jewel is you right now…!

Lunarin could not calm her pounding heart.

‘I really want to snatch it away, but… it’s too much for me to have that kind of talent all to myself.’

So I suggested it.

Coincidentally, the space for the academy’s general store recently became vacant.

It supplies consumables and miscellaneous items to academy students at prices that are almost free.

It’s a store, more accurately, it’s an education method that teaches them how to use the store when they become real adventurers.

Since that spot is empty, how about putting Edin there?

Equipment, materials, environment, and even personal condition.

Everything is supported by the academy.

He’s the owner of a general store, but it’s safe to say he’s actually one of the academy’s teachers.

Edin’s natural talent displayed in such a perfect environment.

She was very excited to see what results this would bring.

‘Hehe. ‘There will be a big wind blowing at the Adventurer Academy.’

In any case, it is a certainty that Edin will be selected once he shows his skills in earnest.

As long as the other academy teachers don’t have eyeholes in their eyes.

At the Adventurer’s Academy, there is an alchemist with unprecedented talent and the greatest potions he has ever created.

Lunarin thought that something would be interesting.

‘If that happens, I’ll be able to see it up close every day.’

Of course, personal desires can also be fulfilled.

It was a very good result for her.
