While he was thinking, Dave suddenly felt someone staring at him.

He looked up and saw a figure that had just turned around.

The figure was obviously shorter than the other acolytes around him. Coupled with his striking maroon curly hair, the identity of the owner was obvious.

Dave had some impression of her. Her first name was Millie, but he forgot her last name.

She was a female acolyte who was always quiet and had few desires. Her thick and long curly hair always covered half of her face, and she usually did not have much of a presence.

Most of the acolytes were strangers to each other, and they had always ignored each other.

There were only a few apprentices who were 'popular' like Andre.

In Dave's memory, he didn't even talk to Millie.

She seemed to have been staring at him for a long time just now.

Dave looked at the woman in confusion for a while, but he didn't see anything. He went back to his own work, took out the notebook, and put it on the table.

Not long after, an old lady who looked to be in her sixties or seventies walked in with the sound of heels clicking outside the classroom.

With her appearance, the noisy classroom quickly quieted down.

Even though the old lady had white hair and a kind face, her identity still made the apprentices respect her from the bottom of their hearts.

Official mage, Potionology teacher Mrs. Izu.

She was also their Potionology teacher for today's lesson.

"Is everyone here? The assessment is about to begin. I hope everyone will be more enthusiastic about learning.

"After all, this is very likely to affect your future fates…."

Mrs. Izu was famous for her good temper and was very friendly.

For example, she asked all the apprentices to call her " Mrs. Izu " instead of Mentor Izu.

She could be considered the most amiable of the mentors.

But at the same time, she was also famous for rambling.

Before and after each class, everyone had to endure at least a few minutes of her nagging.

".. Alright, children, today I plan to talk to you about a very important process in potion making-extraction..."

After a few minutes of opening remarks, Mrs. Izu looked at the clock on the wall and began her speech.

"First of all, everyone knows that most raw materials can't be used directly...

"As for extraction, it is to remove these impurities."

" It sounds easy, but in the process of making potions, there is not a single step that is easy…."

The class was three hours long.

Mrs. Izu did not speak quickly, but she talked about a lot of things.

As long as one was distracted, it was very likely that one would not be able to keep up with the content of the lecture.

Dave was pleasantly surprised to find that he had almost mastered the main content of the class!

He had finished flipping through the book 'Basic Potionology' last night, and this part of the lecture was included in it.

Some details were still in his knowledge blind spot, but with Mrs. Izu's explanation, he understood very quickly.

Even the notes that he was used to taking had lost their effect at this moment.

Dave glanced around and noticed that the other apprentices were taking notes. He didn't dare to stand out from the crowd, so he pretended to do what he was told.

The mainstream language in this world was a language called " Hoen ", and its spellings were similar to the English of Dave's previous life.

The reading and writing of the Loen language were relatively simple. It was said that even farmers in the suburbs could write a few simple words.

However, to record esoteric knowledge, they still had to use the Hoen language.

It was said this language was used by the ancient elves.

Compared to the Loen language, the Hoen language was much more complicated.

Not only was the meaning of each word several times more complicated, but it was also more difficult to write. It even consumed spiritual energy.

However, the sacrifice was accepted to glean the knowledge.

Time ticked by. Soon, the needle on the wall made a clicking sound.

It was time for class to end.

While the apprentices were still waiting for more, Mrs. Izu had already put down the chalk and left.

Dave packed his things and followed her.

"Mrs. Izu!"

After catching up, he slowed down his pace.

"Is the laboratory open today?"

As Mrs. Izu walked, she raised her presbyopic glasses and looked at him with a smile. "What's wrong, David? Are you going to the lab early?

"Let me make this clear first. If you want to work overtime, I won't give you any extra pay…"

"No, no!"

Dave quickly shook his head.

"It's like this. I've recently gained a lot of insights about Potionology, but I keep feeling that if I don't put them into practice, these insights won't be implemented for the time being."

He knew how to say things Mrs. Izu liked to hear.

" It's like a tall castle in the air. If there's no support, it's illusory and meaningless!

"Therefore, I would like to borrow your laboratory to verify my findings. Of course, I will finish it before two o'clock. It won't affect the subsequent work!"

Not all instructors would agree to his request.

On the contrary, most of the instructors would not agree to such a " rude " request.

Most Mages would not do anything that did not benefit the apprentices.

The first law of the world was the equivalent exchange.

However, Mrs. Izu was different.

If it was her, he might be able to…

Under Dave's nervous gaze, Mrs. Izu looked at him with great interest, then nodded and said with a smile, "Of course, Dave.

"You've been working diligently in my laboratory for so long. It's only right for me to let you use it appropriately.

"However, you have to remember to use the No. 6 laboratory table. Moreover, you can only use your own materials. After you're done, clean the laboratory properly…Can you do that?"

"Of course! Thank you, Mrs. Izu!"

Dave bowed excitedly.

He was grateful from the bottom of his heart. Fortunately, it was Mrs. Izu. If it were another mentor, he would have to pay magic stones to use the laboratory.

And he could not afford that now...

..

After saying goodbye to Mrs. Izu, Dave walked to the center of the floor. There was a circular staircase that led to the upper and lower floors.

Izu's laboratory was located on the twenty-second floor of the tower.

Walking down the stairs, there were all kinds of mages and acolytes.

Whenever Dave saw an apprentice with a badge that was more 'advanced' than his, he would carefully make way for them.

When he saw an official Mage, he had to bow again.

It was not that he wanted to do this, but he had no choice.

Mages, especially older ones, often had different temperaments than ordinary people. If they were annoyed, they might make things difficult for you.

A level 3 acolyte couldn't handle trouble.
