Rey had not let the sudden exit of Walker shake her. She knew that sothing was happening but she had more responsibilities where she was. If she were to let it show that she was distracted at all it could lead to higher stress for every single person participating in the event.
"Since Walker has left, I will take a walk around the venue." The old master alchemist and Trish had already been announcing the winners and those who made outstanding performances. Having Rey walk through so of the last people to prepare potions was not a big deal at all.
The alchemy fire spirit had been wandering around enjoying the fluid fire elental mana as most of the alchemists used fire to create the potions they made. However, when it rushed back to Rey full of energy, she wasn't sure what was happening. But she was not going to just ignore the obvious lead.
"That's an interesting technique you have there." What Rey found was a very young boy who shouldn't even be able to attend such an event. He didn't even flinch when she spoke to him. His gaze was fully focused on the smaller cauldron that he had chosen to make a single health potion with.
"You chose decent herbs, have a decent scent coming from that, and your mana control is very nice. However, I have an interest in why your alchemy flas are blue. It's already different enough that you can use alchemy flas already. But blue alchemy flas? Very interesting."
This was clear why the alchemy fire spirit had found Rey to bring her over. Rey had never heard that alchemy fire could be blue. Blue flas? Yes, they were commonly known to represent spiritual flas, healing flas, and even cold flas. There were also cases where blue flas burned slowly and much hotter than normal flas.
"Sa heat as my alchemy flas, more control, less mana being used. A very good skill." Rey mumbled as she evaluated everything. It was beginning to prove to be a very worthwhile result of leaving the judging arena.
,m The boy had more to show off though, as soon as the potion had begun to reach peak heat, he stopped the flas. With The imdiate stoppage of heat, the blue flas should have dissipated. Yet this did not happen, instead, the flas pulled the heat from the cauldron cooling the potion rapidly. It perfectly preserved the potion at the fastest rate that Rey had ever seen.
"So it's not that they are alchemy flas, they are still a unique blue fla used for alchemy. Perfect, show that potion!" Rey held a hand out as the boy was filling a vial. He handed the potion over and slowly ca back in to focus.
The fear and worry on his face showed Rey that he had been in his very own world while performing his alchemy. It was unique but not unheard of for an alchemist to be fully focused on what they were creating.
"Do you know what you've done?" Rey looked down at the boy who flinched away. "I-i just made a low tier health potion. I know that it's not the sa as everyone else but it's all I can do. Please, I just need to keep learning so I can help my family out more we just moved here and and and-"
"Silence already! You need to learn to hold yourself back." It was a little ironic that Rey was the one saying this. However, she was distracted by the potion in her hands. "Co with . Now." Rey nearly dragged the boy toward the arena to announce the results.
Both Trish and the old master alchemist were not sure why Rey had brought in a child. They knew that he was not nearly old enough to be participating in the event and must have managed to sneak in sohow.
"For the first and only ti in this competition, soone had managed to use a low tier potion formula and created a mid tier potion. This boy here is going to be the youngest alchemy genius to enter the alchemy guild. Congratulate the new mber of the elite alchemy class, our blue fire alchemist."
Rey had gone above what everyone expected. She had granted him a nickna in the guild already and plainly stated that he was a genius. The boy, on the other hand, was stunned. He thought he was about to get yelled at and kicked out. He thought that he had ruined his chance of ever being an alchemist in his entire life.
With this unexpected occurrence, the crowd watching went wild. Ignus in particular was focused on the boy. "Find sothing interesting? Mordant wanted to hear what had actually managed to catch Ignus's eye.
"He can use fire that most people can not. The blue flas that were just described are unique even to dragons. If you recall, my mother was a blue fire dragon. They had slightly less control of their own mana but incredible control of fire elental mana in a unique way. They can control heat to the extre. From what I know of alchemy, heat is key. That boy could beco great here in this village."
With great surprise, Mordant ensured he would rember the appearance of the boy. Ignus was not one to openly praise soone. Therefore, when Ignus compared this boy's flas to a dragon's flas, especially his mother's, It was a big deal.
"I will expect better fire affinity potions in a few years instead of a generation. That boy may be the one they needed." Ignus lost focus after the boy was guided down by another alchemy guild mber. From this point on, there were very few people participating left. It was a very quick day long competition that everyone thought would go on longer.
