Isekai Journey Of The Magic Archer

"This much should be enough. Then, let\'s start." Rein stood before the giant pile of materials, mainly a kind of white flowers and blue rocks, and nodded with satisfaction.

-Snap!

Then she snapped, and the entire pile of material started floating, showcasing her extraordinary control of telekinesis.

The students were shocked to see how she walked gracefully towards her giant pot with that pile of materials behind her. Following her like she was their master.

It was a scene that made them forget about their own potions for a moment but thankfully, they soon came back to their senses when the girl they all were looking at… just threw the entire pile of materials into her cauldron, giving a shock to the students who knew the worth of all those Tapis flowers and Mana rocks. 

And she used many rare ingredients too, some being costlier than even what some lower aristocrats can afford. 

But there were no restrictions on what materials one wanted to use in this alchemy classroom as long as the teacher didn\'t say anything. 

And this time their teacher was just silently observing her.

Still, it was painful for their hearts to witness a scene of all those ingredients that can probably produce hundreds or bottles of potions, go to utter waste.

There was no way one could make potions on this large of a scale with no equipment to control the heat, with no way of making proper measurements, without any filtering devices to remove the impurities, and without any external catalyst to quicken the process.

They were all back to their senses from her shock because they knew what she was doing was already foolish… but that was a misunderstanding from their side.

"Alright."

Rein stood before her giant cauldron as their professor closely observed her, and took a deep breath.

-Snap!

Then, with a snap of her finger, she first produced some water and started filling the pot.

-Snap! Snap!

And with two more snaps of her finger, the entire cauldron was lit up with unique patterns and magic circles already painted on its surface.

"Huuuuu…"

And then, with a deep exhale, she looked up at the cauldron with a serious look and put her hand on its surface.

-Ooooooooooooong!

And as soon as she did that, the entire pot was set ablaze with a strange green fire that… a few of them were actually familiar with.

"P-potion brewing touch! How?!"

"No…! That\'s cheating!"

"Teacher! How\'s using a skill like that allowed?!"

"Before that! How does she even have a skill like that?!"

They were surprised, no, they were shocked out of their pants would be a better way to explain their current reaction.

They were seeing something, as the students of alchemy, they had only ever heard about by their superiors.

[Potion brewing touch], the only known skill that can do nearly all the processes required to craft a proper potion.

And though the effect itself depended on the person\'s mastery of the skill, the effect was guaranteed. 

Originally a skill belonging to an extremely rare and dangerous carnivore plant named [Qwerty Poiu], it was a skill mentioned in the history books, and something they all were familiar with because the current top alchemist in the world, someone holding the title of [Alchemy emperor] also possessed this famous skill.

It was a rare skill of (Blue) rank, but, it wasn\'t so rare that mere possession of this skill would have such absurd reactions from the students.

They were just overreacting, and the others that knew this rare skill was infamous for its notoriety to master, were not worried about what she would do with her giant cauldron.

She can destroy everything there, and might also have to pay if she messed up so, instead of an uncertain case like her, they were more focused on the two other people in this little competition.

-Shimmmmmmm…

On one side was a lady known throughout the continents for her advanced alchemical methods.

Mia Knives. She was one of the many advanced technology users that used the most complex and unique pieces of equipment in her productions.

And even right now, what she was doing had stolen many eyes, stopping them from doing the important task they had to perform before them.

It was an attractive sight for the tech fans as on the table before her was placed a masterpiece created through the techniques of ancient times and the best knowledge of their current era by the most proficient hands with a reputation as grand as the alchemy emperor.

It was a strange artifact, divided into three parts resembling a cylinder, a sphere, and a strange part with teardrop shape, and deep red color.

Behind that artifact was a stand full of tens of empty test tubes, already cleaned and prepared for her use, and on both sides of this artifact were placed normal-looking equipment with not-so-normal functions.

She was performing alchemy, and they had to make only a simple healing potion. But her preparations seemed to many as if she was getting ready to start the research of a cure for some newfound disease.

And she had also selected many rare ingredients that they didn\'t even know could be used in the making of a simple healing potion.

From their poor knowledge, all they had to do was take some healing herbs, mix them at a precise ratio, purify the mixture, filter the impurities, boil it on a Mana flame, filter it again, add some required catalysts and harmonizing reagents, and boil it again.

That was the simple process of creating a healing potion and normally, it would take a few hours to prepare one without catalysts but if one follows their books word by word, they can surely make one proper potion in a few minutes…

But alchemy isn\'t only about following the recipes properly.

It is an art that requires an artist. An artist with passion, in true meaning actually.

And these students, though many themselves weren\'t yet of the level to understand their art, were definitely seeing three artists create art with their own unique techniques.

One was using ingredients to mass produce something they feared to prepare in a greater quantity, the other was using technology that they understood little about, but could still tell was a complex process involving unconventional techniques that they were unfamiliar with, and the last one… well, was the true artist in all the eyes present in this room right now.

Eon, no, the vice-captain of Wisdom Phoenix, Lucifer. He was doing something… unique right now.

First of all, he wasn\'t using any mechanical equipment like their burner, flame plate, filtering devices, or even the droppers.

All he was using right now, was the red orb floating before him with a golden, silver, and white band of strange enchantments circling around it.

Some people who were knowledgeable about classical potion brewing recognized this device as a catalyst orb used as a radiation source used when working with very potent ingredients.

But, he wasn\'t using any potent ingredients at all. 

Yes, there was a big pile of materials beside him, but all those things were something they all could recognize as things available in all apothecaries and common markets.

They couldn\'t understand why he would use something like that for common ingredients like those… actually, they also couldn\'t understand what those circling enchantments around the orb were and what he would use all those ingredients unrelated to the health potion for.

They were confused, but that was a moment before.

Right now, they were all in awe as they looked at his focused self that was doing all those magical things without caring about his surroundings.

He was doing his work, and as a first step, he was processing the ingredients to make them into what he wanted.

The three rings around the orb kept rotating constantly and when he wanted to crush any material and turn it into fine powder, he would command the golden ring and it would wrap around the orb, producing a strange golden light that would turn everything under it into a fine powder.

When he wanted to separate impurities from that power, he would command the silver ring to wrap around the orb too, and the resulting silver light would realize its wish.

And lastly, when he gathered that powder, mixed in some more power from some other processed ingredients, and put them under the final white light from the white band, the resulting material he got was something… totally different and radiant than the previous dull elements.

It was quite a sight to see something like this but, it was only the start of his masterful artwork, the basic lines that were the foundation of his unique creation.

-Tap.

He tapped the surface of the orb and all three rings went back to normal. 

His filtering process was over and now, it was time for the real work.

So, with the same focus as ever, he called out the Aura on his hand, a blue Aura resembling his eyes that we all weren\'t familiar with.

The color of his true Aura was, as we knew, a radiant pink. But thanks to Celes, he could disguise this too.

Still, it was difficult for even her near absolute power to hide the strange uniqueness of his Aura with white purity, so this glorious blue was just as attractive to everyone\'s eyes as that green flame behind him and the golden flame of Mia\'s equipment beside him.

But he still shined the brightest among them, and the way he channeled this Aura, used what they could feel was Mana, and used both to further temper and strength the properties of his processed materials was a gifted sight to their poor eyes.

He would later turn that into the final fluid product… and their teacher was getting even more excited to see that final product, that final \'healing potion\', with a kindsmile he didn\'t have for last few decades.
