“There may be some stupid people who are hearing this for the first time, but Lagus leaves are basically used as an ingredient in low-grade potions. However, if you make it wrong, it won’t heal you, but rather just create a tasteless poison.”

A middle-aged professor with a strict appearance pushed up his glasses as he conducted the class.

A gutsy attitude that seems to say that showing off one’s knowledge is more important than imparting knowledge to students.

“Tsk!”

“Tsk!”

Some students expressed their displeasure by secretly squinting their eyes or chewing their tongues at the unfortunate sight of them being blatantly ignored.

“The important thing to note here is that the taste, texture, texture, and effects of the potion can vary greatly depending on how you fail at refining the herbs or adjusting the ratio.”

But the professor just continued to show off with a wrinkled mouth and a mocking smile as if to say, “What can you do anyway?”

Class description?

That was a bonus.

When the students in the classroom are staring at each other with rotten eyes and forcibly killing their emotions for the sake of grades.

Haaam-

Only one person, Do Yu-jin, yawned openly and stood apart from them.

‘From what I hear, it seems like there’s nothing to learn in this class, so I guess I can just ignore it.’

With that thought in mind, Do Yu-jin took out a pillow and a donut and laid down on the desk, assuming the most comfortable position possible.

The characteristics were great.

Do Yu-jin, who was spending some time fiddling with her device, glanced at the students taking the class.

‘The atmosphere here is different from the classes I’ve taken so far.’

The smell of ink and paper was stronger than that of blood and sweat, both from the professors who spoke and from the students who took the class.

‘Well, if it’s natural, then it’s natural.’

Not everyone who entered the circle went down the path of bloody battles.

Some students took the path of making things by holding an extension cord instead of a weapon, while others fell in love with books and took the path of studying knowledge.

As such, there were many different types of classes in the circle, but the one that Do Yu-jin was taking now was a type of theory class that students who were going for combat didn’t take very often.

‘Well, that doesn’t mean I’m the only combat-related student taking this class right now.’

Do Yu-jin muttered to herself and glanced off into the distance.

“… … ”

There, a male ninja named Fuma Shigure took his place, his long green hair tied up with a red ribbon and his face hidden by a mask.

‘Why is he taking this class? Did he come here to study about poisons? But if that’s the case, there are better classes out there.’

Do Yu-jin thought about it for a moment and then looked away.

It wasn’t a problem that I could figure out right away even if I thought about it, and I wanted to avoid a situation where I got interested in it and got entangled with the main character.

While Do Yu-jin was lounging around, concentrating on getting rid of the physical and mental wounds on her body, or more precisely, the residue of fatigue from training.

Tamar-!

“In other words, in simple terms, it’s a very useful recipe that allows even ignorant fools like you to immediately realize what mistakes you made.”

The professor, who had been talking about class content and bragging about himself, lightly hit the podium as he said that.

Then he waved his hand in the air as if he was shaking off a dog that was bothering him.

“Okay, now that you know, let’s try it out yourselves.”

“I… … Professor, we just heard the recipe a little while ago?”

“I know the recipe and I have the alchemy tools and ingredients on the table, what else do I need?”

The student who raised his hand and spoke at the professor’s words looked at him in disbelief.

According to that logic, there was absolutely no reason to be here and take his class while enduring all kinds of stress, instead of just flipping through the book.

The professor closed his eyes for a moment as if savoring the students’ gazes, then smiled and said.

“Well, don’t worry, I don’t have any foolish expectations that you’ll be able to complete this experiment cleanly with your current skills.”

Snap-!

“That is, the goal of this experiment is to make you feel how advanced alchemy is. But you see, guys like you don’t show any motivation without proper compensation… … ”

The professor stroked his chin for a moment and then spoke in an unlucky voice.

“I will make sure that anyone who perfects the lower-level potion this semester will be able to complete the course with full marks without having to attend my classes in the future.”

Bam-!

When the students heard those words, they all immediately stood up from their seats and started moving their hands.

I was more moved by the thought that I wouldn’t have to see that unfortunate face again than by the promise that I would be able to complete the class with full marks.

“Huh? Why are there ingredients on an empty table… … ”

“Oh, those are the things I brought to use.”

“Gyah! What, what, how long has it been like this?”

“From the beginning.”

And among those students was Do Yu-jin.

After protecting the ingredients with a few words, Do Yu-jin began to leisurely create a potion while the students were busy fiddling with alchemy tools and preparing ingredients.

Bubble bubble-

A little while ago, Do Yu-jin muttered that she didn’t need to attend class after seeing the professor lecturing, but in fact, even if that wasn’t the case, Do Yu-jin had no intention of attending class.

‘Well, at best, it’s just a lecture, so there’s nothing I can learn that will be of any help to me.’

As I’ve said before, Hell difficulty is an unprecedented land that no player has ever conquered.

Because of this, most players did not even look at Hell difficulty and played on lower difficulties, but some perverts racked their brains to somehow conquer the land called Hell difficulty.

As a result, they became interested in the difficulty level below and the technique called alchemy.

Even if the game difficulty changes, the locations of important hidden pieces and the settings of characters and items do not change.

The idea was to take advantage of that and use the various recipes found on lower difficulties on Hell difficulty.

Because the effects of the potions thrown by Cheolsu and Younghee did not change.

This method once gained support from numerous players and emerged as a true strategy.

‘But in the end it ended in failure.’

The reasons were varied, but there were two that were decisive.

The difficulty of obtaining Hidden Pieces due to the unpredictable random events unique to Hell difficulty, and the fact that it appears too vulnerable to certain enemies, as if you invested all your points in one talent.

Ps …

‘But even if it failed, the countless alchemy recipes obtained through that process are undeniably real.’

Of course, Do Yu-jin only had simple knowledge, meaning she had absolutely no experience moving her hands.

‘but……’

Knock knock knock-

‘You can easily supplement that much with the help of talent, skills, and characteristics.’

Do Yu-jin continued to move her feet and hands following the footsteps of the knowledge engraved in her head.

There was not a single hint of what the professor had said earlier in those actions.

Well, to Do Yu-jin, that was nothing more than an impurity that lowered the purity.

A professor who has written various papers over a long period of time?

Honestly, I didn’t even laugh.

That is when the people of this world are blocked by the wall of reality and are only moving forward with all kinds of imagination, predictions, and hypotheses.

hug-

This is because we have been rushing towards alchemy, using up materials that have barely been produced for thousands of years.

Do you know which one makes ramen taste better, Seongsu or Gongcheong Petroleum?

Do Yu-jin and all the community veterans knew the answer to this crazy question.

Ps …

‘I guess this is how I see the benefit of living in a community and wiki and only selling alchemy recipes.’

While Do Yu-jin was thinking that and smiling to herself.

“This, what the heck is this… … ”

The professor, who had been walking with an expression that said, “You’ve been caught,” was shocked when he saw the potion that Do Yu-jin had made, his eyes wide open and his hands shaking as if they were going to burst.

“How on earth did you manage to make such a high-quality potion? It’s impossible for me to make something of this quality in such a short amount of time… … F*ck!”

It’s been a bit long-winded, but that’s the gist of it.

“Hey, did you hear what that professor just said?”

“I heard. What’s that? That guy? I just saw him today?”

“If what the professor just said is true, then doesn’t that guy make potions better than that professor?”

Unlike the summoning class, in the alchemy class, he took the first step towards earning the genius title smoothly.

◎ ◎ ◎

“What the! That guy suddenly disappeared?”

“What is that… … It really doesn’t exist?”

After class ended and she leisurely avoided the influx of students, Do Yu-jin walked quietly down the hallway, thinking.

‘Two classes in a row… … Well, it’s better than being separated for no reason.’

Excluding the morning classes that all students take, Do Yu-jin takes a total of three classes.

Among them, [Hahahoho Fun Summoning] and [Alchemy that Becomes Blood and Flesh] were chosen for the sake of public image.

Simply put, it is a class that Do Yu-jin signed up for with the purpose of giving her the illusion that she is a genius and using it if she ever gets suspected of being a ghost.

‘But the last guy is different.’

[Understanding Ranged Combat], unlike the other two classes, this one didn’t require a good grade.

No, rather, considering Do Yu-jin’s goal, it would have been better to get mid-level grades rather than trying to get good grades.

“Haa… … ”

Despite these loose conditions, Do Yu-jin couldn’t help but sigh.

That’s understandable, because in this class, Do Yu-jin had to approach one of the heroines she had been avoiding for so long.

‘That’s also the case with the famous delinquent heroines who are ranked first and second in terms of having bad personalities among the many heroines that appear in this game.’

Do Yu-jin scratched her head, feeling something she couldn’t tell whether it was tension or rejection.

Although it is expressed as an approach, Do Yu-jin’s goal is to improve her current style and quickly bring out her talents.

So, beyond simply approaching each other, I had to narrow my relationship to a point where I could give and receive some advice.

“Please, I hope it will succeed without any problems.”

Do Yu-jin just sighed as her anxiety did not go away even though she was speaking out loud.
