Alchemy competition. Max losing his mind part 2

All the brats stopped and looked at Max with confused faces. Max tried to keep it cool, but he had a hard time doing it while looking back at those retards. He then closed his eyes, counted up to ten and then said: "What you did right now was a disgrace for alchemy. I don't know who thought you how to concoct this potion but he or she did a horrible job and if you paid this person any amount of coins he can return them to you. To make the competition somewhat fair I will demonstrate how to do the potion in the right way and you will need to follow my example. What you did right now was cooking a soup and not alchemy. I am not kidding when I am saying this. Please pay attention. I will only show it once to give you the possibility to produce something even close to a real potion. It will count the demonstration as part of the time given to you. There is no reason for you to not be able to produce the potion in two and a half hours. Alright look here."

There was a projection for everyone to see using formations. Now this projection was concentrated on him. The organizers quickly organized him a table with the ingredients needed. Max started to make the healing potion by the way he learned. First he put on the fire to some level of intensity. He could tell that it was the right temperature because of his fire magic. He could feel that it is right. When he did potions by himself he just used the fire magic and did not care about help from outside. Max got the water to the right ph with water magic and did not explain about it because no one will understand what he did anyway. While the water was getting to the right temperature Max made the ingredients into powder at different locations to not mix them. After Max was sure that the temperature was right he started to put the ingredients in while telling the brats and the audience the general important steps of making the potion right. The brats were dumbfounded. The different higher ups were also very impressed. They could see the high level of what Max was doing even if they did not understand nothing at all in alchemy. It was not easy to get pointers of a real alchemist acknowledged by the alchemist association. 

Max did not want to confuse the kids so he just did a low level healing potion without using magic at all. While he was making different stages of creating the potion he was giving brief explanation on what he was doing and why so it will be a little bit more simple for the brats with more understanding in alchemy. Max saw only a dozen of people nod at him with understanding. Because of that he could only sigh. After around half an hour later Max showed everyone the final product. Everyone thought that it was a high level product and were about to cheer, but Max said: "This is a low level healing potion. I know that it is said that it is a high level healing potion by the alchemy association but it is not. It is the bare minimum of what you need to do. To be able to make a better potion of a middle, high, peak or transcendent level you need to have affinity with at least the fire element. It would be better to have the water element as well. What I showed you today can be done by every person with enough hard work and dedication. Every little mistake can lead do a failed product."

Max got out a flask that he received from Graham at one of their trades.

After that he continued: "This is an example of a failed product. There is substance floating inside the flask. It means only one thing. Someone put a potion with some poop and hoped for the best for the buyer. It is not a joke. The floating black dots are toxins that can affect you for the long range of time in terms of decreasing your potential and your growth limit. Be aware of this. To pass the alchemy stage you will need a potion of the same level that was done by me. If someone is not interested just leave the competition now. I will not answer more questions. Good luck!"

After that the brats were silent for a few moments. The audience did not really knew how to react to that. What the kids did before and what Max did now were totally different things and it caused a lot of the kings and queens to look at their advisers in terms of alchemy to sweat bullets. Some of the higher ups even smiled to them or had very hostile looks that sent shivers down their spines.

After a few moments Max saw that non of the brats move at all. It caused him to get really angry and he shouted: "Stop sleeping brats! Up to work! You have two in a half hours. Don't waste my time. I'm sure you will take more time to make a potion than I did. The best of you could make four attempts while the worst should be able to do two attempts at making the potion. NOW MOVE YOUR LITTLE ASSES!"

The kids started to work. They were to top of their generation and a lot of them cached on what Max was doing quickly. Of course, some of them still did crazy shit. In a few cases Max needed to stop retards from blowing their arms off and one of the brats was almost done with a real shocker that would blow her to bits before Max teleported to her and just kicked her off the stadium while shouting: "Disqualified! Go and be a house wife or something. Do not touch alchemy. You almost blew yourself and around ten people around you into minced meat. If you want to turn yourself into mush do it in your free time!"

Some of the representatives that were disqualified were from high level countries and their rulers wanted to retort, but after hearing Max comments of limbs being torn of their prodigies they did not say anything. The last case with the lady that was going to kill herself and around ten of the candidates around her was the daughter of one of the level 8 country rulers that was very short tempered. He wanted to start shouting at Max but when he heard Max's comment he just gulped in fear for the life of his daughter, snorted at Max and turned away.

All the rest did not really know how to react.
