In another place, a Timothy Cook happened to be busy listening in the room for potions and brewery. It was a nice learning area and his teacher for this class also happened to be the one who seemed to have favored him.

At least the one who had urged him to focus primarily on becoming a mage.

Now Timothy hadn't had much of a chance last night to study in advance. Looking for the library was ill-luck as the winding corridors seemed to keep sending him back to Dewrowan Tower.

It must have been some in-built feature.

Fighting back a yawn, he watched Professor Levalda in front of the class.

As usual, well, for the first day, he once again happened to find a place at the last part of the classroom. He didn't mind it, it was far easier to keep himself away from prying eyes while also being able to observe the students in front of him.

Once again, he could notice the same cloaked figure at the very end of the class.

Compared to their first class on [ Magical Theory ], each one of them had their own personal station and an arsenal of amenities to use. He sighed in relief, he still hadn't had the chance to buy the required materials.

"Alright, since we have a new student, let's brush up on some old and basic recipes we have tackled. We'll be doing Healing Potions, my favorite~"

Alas, it would be much easier to stay behind the scenes if it weren't for every teacher pointing out that they were new. This was a recipe for disaster. Timothy bit back a snort, only Han would have made a joke as bad as that one.

Somebody raised their hand on the front row, someone with the very remarkable ginger hair.

"Ah, yes Miss Primrose, would you like to discuss how we formulate Healing Potions?" 

"Gladly, Professor Lavelda." The young woman in front inclined her head. This one was Penelope.

Timothy scrambled for his parchment and quill. Rockfall Village had no [ Alchemists ] and the transported potions that would arrive were hefty even though the Old Man could hardly make a profit with them. This was his chance to help them when he got back.

"One of the main components of Healing Potion is the gel extract from the Loea plant, actually, if one has no other ingredients—they say that making a water solution from its leaves has benefits." The young woman explained with a well-mannered tone.

Timothy couldn't understand how Han could think that Penelope wasn't nice. If things were the case here… it might be better for him to befriend a girl who knew what they were doing than someone with just raw mana power.

"That's correct, however the effects of the plant itself is quite weak when compared to even the lowest-grade of our Healing Potion. Can anybody explain why that is the case?" Professor Lavelda.

The person alongside Penelope raised their hand next along with several other students. Mostly the ones from the first rows.

Now that Timothy noticed something, it may have been just his imagination that the majority of students with him were female. It was an odd observation as the teacher called on for someone.

"Hmmm, alright, I'll choose someone from the back row, Ellynn." The Professor asked.

Once again, the person… [ Elf ] seemed to be getting called as much as him and Han. She had proved herself more than strong enough during Basic Magical Combat Class, how did she fare in her wits?

The cloaked girl, she wobbled up to her feet. She didn't reveal much as she was covered from head to toe, but just by her posture alone—their uneasiness was apparent. "Potions are much stronger thanks to blending of other magical ingredients. One example of a booster to potions is Sage Grass."

"Thank you for the example, Ellynn." Professor Levalda nodded, "You can take your seat. Good job."

The young woman practically collapsed to her seat. It was a wonder why the chair hadn't broken at such a fast impact. Did they really hate that much attention?

Despite other students obvious distaste for the young woman, Timothy could pick up that the Professors were quite tolerant of her. Kind even, considering Professor Carnus shutting up the class during the whispering.

Although this was the guy who also gave him and Han no chance during that Ranking Test.

So perhaps he was simply linking the events together.

"Sage Grass in the past used to be a very rare ingredient only found in the most dangerous of places, Dungeons and Forests where many monsters grew and lurked but due to careful cultivation and advancements in farming, it has become more available." Professor Levalda explained. "Nearby villages often plant and bring their produce here so that's why we can afford them at a good price." 

The woman cleared her throat and clapped her hands, "Well, that's enough lecturing from me, take out your instruments and let's begin the Potion Brewery. Once you're done, feel free to take it as a personal supply but make sure to let me check on it."

Timothy blinked and looked at the available ones on his station, he personally assumed that brewing would be akin to a large brewing pot. Instead they were more smaller, glass containers and such. Some instruments to pick them up. Some kind of fire burner that didn't seem to need wood. A couple of ingredients that were in bowls.

[ Class Consolidation ]

That was what one of the reasons why he had chosen to partake in the [ Mage ] oriented curriculum. Was this what Professor Lavelda had in mind?

He shook his head, he would think about it on a later time. He still had some time. Right now, the thing that he needed to do was—he shifted his gaze towards the person in his right. contemporary romance

It was a good thing that Ellynn's cloak only hid her figure and not her work station itself.

Observe.

She grabbed for the ingredients provided in the bowl.

He hoped that Han was doing much better on his side of their lecture. Using a sword seemed much easier than what he was supposed to do now.
