Isekaied Into An Eroge, Time To Have Fun! Chapter 131: My Favorite Classes (2)

"I am actually rather surprised, Natalie. This is one of the better potions I’ve seen amongst the class, at least so far."

The Eclipse Elf continued to swirl the liquid around inside of the beaker, appraising its color and viscosity before placing it back down on the counter beside , giving a nod and adding "Now, don’t let that inflate your ego... Everyone here is doing this multiple tis, so let us see if you can replicate this a few more tis."

That made smile wryly as I nodded back at her, but even still the admission that the potion that I had just concocted was above decent filled with a little bit of pride, especially since I had that entire worry regarding the Mana Water I had made for myself.

The wait before we got our second round of ingredients felt so incredibly long, my mind being given the opportunity to wander as I looked around and took in how many of the others were already done.

Their expressions were relatively open, and a few of them looked irritated, ticked off or they were feeling the opposite, donning smiles and looking quite relaxed as they took this mont to refresh themselves.

That observation only made my pride swell a little bit more as I realized I had sohow managed to do better than or similarly to so of the notable classmates here; the Night Elf Galiena was as stoic as ever, while Sera was studying her notebook and potion closely as she ntally reviewed everything.

Everyone else had the mixed expressions, and even as Professor Jezebyra ca around to offer advice or praise they still seed rather stuck in their own heads, not taking this terribly well as they felt that they had ’failed’ in so way.

It made realize imdiately just how harsh on themselves everyone in this class was going to be, which sort of made sense all things considered since everyone here were supposed to be talented in so way regarding Alchemy.

Not doing that good on the very first potion you concocted in the Academy must sting a little, so I was blessed enough to have managed to get myself into a spot where I wasn’t lanting my terrible abilities.

That could slowly whittle away at my ntal state and affect my performance... though realistically even though I knew that the only way I could think of to not have that happen was to simply make a good potion, so... y’know...

By the ti the second round of ingredients ca around I was back at it again with the sa amount of enthusiasm, caution and thodology of the first, which had concocting a potion of similar efficacy that our Professor verified for .

The third and fourth round were also relatively the sa, earning a quick word of congratulations from Professor Jezebyra and another ask on whether or not I was going to finally show up to her classroom after dinner so that I could help her.

Apparently the Combat Classes of the other years were heading out for the Dungeons soon so they needed to stock up on an abundance of potions and salves to guarantee their safety during the expeditions.

All of the Alchemy Professors needed to churn out a large amount of potions to help fulfill their needs and that was what we were doing now, though at the sa ti Professor Jezebyra wanted to get it done as quickly as possible so that she could return to her own works.

She also apparently wanted to get us working on another set of potions to help her out as well since she needed a few different things to act as the base for what she was doing, and the sooner we got that going the sooner she would be able to start teaching us so very cool things.

That was sothing she told to ’in confidence’ as she ca around with the fourth batch of ingredients, letting know she wanted us to start making so decent Stamina Potions as well as Regeneration Potions so that she could play around with mixing the two into sothing better.

It was also interesting because the mont I heard that she wanted to make Regeneration Potions I just had to ask her if there really was a big difference between Healing and Regeneration and why they had two separate recipes, since the forr always cost two or three tis of the latter.

That got a rather appreciative look from the Professor as she just reminded that coming by to help her after class would allow to have more detailed conversations with her about all sorts of things, making smile wryly as she left right after that.

By the ti that the class was over we had produced a large quantity of Healing Potions and were being told that we were going to be doing the sa tomorrow but with so better ingredients and a different recipe, one that would take more ti but produce a way better potion.

All in all it was another fun day spent in the class that was undoubtedly my favorite of the bunch, but the one I was heading to to end the day off was a very close second, albeit slowly losing that race as we continued with the theory portion of everything.

Professor Alexia was as strict as always and she wanted to get everything done by the book, so before we could even begin attempting to enchant anything at all she wanted to make sure we could pass the tests she had developed.

Each one tested us on a different portion of the ’problem’ that was enchanting an item, ranging from the mana control needed to the alphabet we were using, even going as far as to have us do a little tallurgy so that we could understand what sort of things we were enchanting.

It was... interesting and sowhat difficult, and I could tell that a few of my classmates were most certainly already checking out ntally from the class, though the mont they showed any signs of that our Professor imdiately reminded them that they chose to be here and that this wasn’t sothing that could be rushed.

Just like with Alchemy any mistakes made here could result in a rather spectacular explosion that could harm us and anyone nearby, or the more ’insidious’ mistakes could result in the enchantnt failing when it was in use and result in its wielder getting severely injured or killed because of that.

At least with Alchemy we could tell if a potion worked or not via testing of a small portion of said potion, but with Enchanting a single mistake could take a few uses to rear its head, and when it did it could cause the entire enchantnt to fail and deactivate.

Imagining that sort of thing happening to was enough to send a shiver down my spine, since enchanted gear was a requirent after a certain point in the ga, and if it failed against a Dragon or Goddess forbid against a Fiend, well...

It wasn’t just lights out for you, because those sorts of monsters and opponents were not going to just kill you; they were going to tornt you for as long as they wanted, and that was a horrifying existence to be in.

With the importance of everything we were going over being stressed in such a way, we were all able to see why she was being so serious and strict with this, though that didn’t an that a few of the students here or there weren’t still a little miffed at having to do theoretical work multiple days straight.

The promise that we weren’t going to be stuck in an endless loop of theory softened everything for us, and when she began to show us that the things we were doing with the theory wasn’t as bland and monotonous as we were thinking we were all far more understanding and willing.

The Runic Alphabet was a little complex but also insanely simple at the sa ti, and because of that we were able to string together these ’letters’ of the Runic Alphabet into enchantnts that did incredible things.

Learning how to do so as efficiently as possible while also getting the most out of the thing we were enchanting was a complicated problem in and of itself, but it was the sort of challenge that was fun and engaging.

Trying to figure out why one string of letters worked better on iron rather than steel and how we could achieve the exact sa potency and output on both of them was very hard to do, but it was also so rewarding when we figured it out.

Different sequences of letters led to different variations of the sa outco, and when you took the exact sequence and laid it out on different materials it changed it in ways that boggled the mind sotis... yet it was fun.

So very fun, even if the person teaching us made it abundantly clear when soone would have ’died’ because of what string of letters we were using on which material; the scolding one of my classmates got when they managed to turn an iron sword into a ticking tibomb was definitely not the most motivating thing in the world...

None of us were going to try and talk back to the red haired babe teaching us, but we were also not in a rush to let her know that she was being a little too strict since... well, at least for , the way she looked down at in mild disappointnt when I had a not so efficient enchantnt written down on the paper in front of was part of the reason I was sowhat hard...
