Subscriber of the Gods Episode 77
Episode 77. Brûlée
Potions making classes were excluded from parent observation classes.
The reason was simple.
“Our potion making class doesn’t have parent-teacher conferences. You all know why, right?”
“Yes. I heard it’s because there are too many classes.”
There are too many classes in the magic department.
Among the classes in the Department of Magic, which were divided into detailed sections, there were many classes that required parents to attend.
Because of that, I had to skip classes that were relatively less important in the magic department.
Even if Hassen Little had been there, it would have been difficult for Ethan, who had not yet been verified, to attend an observation class at the Faculty of Magic.
“Well, it’s funny that I, a non-magician, am taking you to a parent-teacher conference.”
“We still think of you as a wizard!”
Although the students were very resistant during the first class, their thoughts changed that day.
At first, I ignored the rumors going around the swordsmanship department and thought they were exaggerated, but after experiencing it myself, I knew they weren’t exaggerations.
Rumors coming out of the swordsmanship department were that Ethan was giving really nutritious classes.
Just like the teachers in the swordsmanship department, the teachers in the magic department did not teach their core skills well.
No, if you really look at it, it was worse than swordsmanship.
No matter how talented you are at swordsmanship, it is difficult to reproduce swordsmanship as is.
Because each swordsmanship is very different.
But magic is different.
It is possible to apply most core technologies individually.
If you do that, you may soon be able to use magic better than your teacher.
That’s why the teachers at the Faculty of Magic taught their theories, but they taught them in a roundabout way that gave away the core.
Core theories and techniques.
These two things were taught only to disciples and blood relatives, so they could not be taught to students.
And those were the things that the students of the Faculty of Magic didn’t like.
If it’s going to be like this, why bother taking classes at the academy?
It would be better to learn from a private teacher or become an apprentice to a famous magician.
If not, I could have learned a lot more by going into the Magic Tower.
That’s why students looked forward to this class.
I’m sure there’s something to be learned from Ethan’s potion-making class.
“Everyone’s eyes are sparkling.”
This was my second class in potion making.
-I received excellent grades in the class I was assigned to in the middle.
-All students are present!
-Your fame will rise!
There was something about the fact that the class that was taken over in the middle was carried out without anyone dropping out, which gave it a reputation.
‘And if you go all the way, your reputation will increase additionally.’
The more they expected from Ethan, the better.
‘Because it’s not burdensome at all.’
It would be burdensome if there was nothing to give when expecting something, but Ethan already had a lot prepared.
‘If you gain trust here, things will get a lot easier from the second semester onwards.’
At that time, Ethan was thinking of accepting a large number of students even if it meant pushing himself a little.
Your reputation will increase significantly if you teach a class with the full number of students allowed by the academy.
“Raise your hand if you have learned the basics of potion making from a tutor within your family.”
At Ethan’s words, all the students raised their hands.
“Who learned the same things at the academy as they learned at their family home?”
Everyone raised their hands at these words.
They already know all the basics.
However, the reason I took this potion making class was because of my previous class teacher, Hasen Little.
“What you were expecting from Master Hasen Little was practical potion recipes. Rather than something grandiose, I mean, something that could be used for everyday purposes.”
I signed up for Hassen Little’s class to learn something new, not something I had always learned.
Something that is actually nutritious.
It was something that all the students at the academy wanted.
Ethan immediately began writing on the board.
[Potion Recipe]
“Healing potions, mana potions, buff potions. There are many different types of potions. However, even if they are the same potion, their effects are different.”
After Ethan finished speaking, he looked at Grandel Toph.
The idea was to explain how they are different.
“It is divided into five levels: lowest, lower, middle, upper, and highest. If you use good materials as the base, you can make something of the lower level no matter how hard you try, and if you use bad materials, you can never make something higher than the lower level.”
So the most important thing in making potions is the ingredients.
Even the most skilled alchemist would have difficulty creating a good potion without the support of materials.
Of course, if a skilled alchemist gets good ingredients, he can create a potion that is lower than the level of any other potion.
“I know that ingredients are the most important thing in potion making.”
“Yes. That’s why there really isn’t much difference in potion making no matter who teaches it.”
If you use bad ingredients, you can’t make a good potion.
This was the essence of the potion that was closest to the truth.
“Then do you know how to handle that material?”
“The timing of adding ingredients is important. By adding them at the right time, you can create a potion with good effects without wasting any ingredients.”
To Ethan’s question, Grandel Toph nodded with confidence.
“That’s true. The more time you spend on it, the better the potion you’ll make.”
Ethan smiled at those words and added new letters in front of the [Potion Recipe] he had just written on the blackboard.
[proper]
“You have this preconception about potion making. It’s that it takes a long time. But you’re wrong.”
The students focused on Ethan’s words.
“Okay, let me show you some magic.”
Ethan drew a simple fireball magic circle.
With just five strokes, a fireball appeared above Ethan’s hand.
“This is the basics.”
And then there were four.
“Applications.”
This time, he drew a magic circle with three strokes to create a fireball. It was smaller than the first one, but it was created much faster.
“This is advanced. Elite magicians like you can basically use this advanced version of Fire Ball, right?”
Everyone nodded.
Some students still needed four strokes, but for most, three was sufficient.
It was a very difficult task, but it was possible because it was the most basic fire ball.
Then Ethan simply moved his hand twice.
Draw two lines.
“And this is acceleration.”
“… … !”
“Nonsense!”
“Uh, how?”
At that moment, Grandel couldn’t hold back and shouted.
You make a fireball with two strokes?
“Seo, teacher, why did you apply to the swordsmanship department?”
It was rude of him to say this, but Grandel couldn’t help but say it. The inspector can create a fireball with two strokes?
An impossible task unless you are a high-ranking wizard.
“This is just an example. I’m not that good at magic. I’m just good at using magic circles.”
Ethan instantly drew another magic circle.
“I’m sorry, sir.”
“It’s okay. You were just asking a question on behalf of the group.”
Grandel glanced around.
Everyone had the same expression as Grandel. If he hadn’t asked, perhaps another student would have.
That’s why the fireball magic circle created by Ethan’s two line drawings was so shocking.
Ethan continued his explanation, oblivious to their surprise.
“The important thing here is the ‘acceleration’ created by drawing these two lines. The magic was completed while maintaining the shape of a fireball. Even though the original was clearly a magic circle made of five lines. Do you know why?”
Even Grandel, the greatest wizard here, didn’t know the reason.
All they know is that it compresses the magic circle, but they don’t know the true nature of why it works that way.
‘I can’t help but not know.’
What Ethan was doing now was future magic.
I intended to show you some of the essence of the crystallization of the potion magic circle that the great alchemist of the future had reformed.
‘In fact, this magic was intended to provide convenience to Mepan users.’
It is quite difficult to make potions one by one in Mepan.
Because of that, I had no choice but to buy potions at expensive prices, and as I leveled up, the cost of those potions made my back quite bent.
This was a setting created through an emergency patch because it was difficult to go on large-scale expeditions due to potions.
‘I know that.’
Everyone waited quietly for Ethan’s answer.
Even though they were silent, I could feel their excitement.
“Brûlée.”
Ethan said briefly.
“The line here. The power that this line holds is Brûlé. The power to burn. Since this one line has the power to burn, a fireball can be created with two lines.”
Ethan, who had drawn the brulee, immediately took out the ingredients from his bosom.
“Then what if we combine this with potion making? The reason we take our time when making potions is to ensure that the ingredients are heated when making the potion.”
Ethan took a deep breath and continued.
“By combining these brulees, we will be able to heat them much more strongly than before, and we will be able to make potions much faster.”
Ethan currently has a Heoryu-tang medicine bottle.
However, even during the time when Ethan was a player in Mepan, when there was no Heoryu-tang Yaksul, he was skilled in making potions.
Ethan’s specialty was making potions efficiently.
‘I just don’t use it now because the Heoryu-tang medicine is much more effective than using Brûlée.’
It is impossible to teach students about Heoryu-tang Yaksul.
So I thought I’d tell you about Brûlée.
It didn’t really matter anyway, since the alchemist would come and solve everything as time went by.
“What do you think would happen if I made a potion using this brûlée?”
Ethan asked another student this time.
“To be honest, I think it’ll turn out to be a mess. Potions take time to make.”
“Yeah, I guess I can’t help but think that way.”
Ethan shook his head.
“But you were wrong.”
And then he immediately raised his hand.
“I’ll show you from now on. Watch carefully.”
With one hand, he began making a potion using Brûlé’s magic circle, and with the other hand, he began making a potion without Brûlé’s magic.
The students couldn’t even breathe properly as they watched Ethan skillfully create two potions.
In an instant, a Brûlée Healing Potion was created.
Because it was a potion made without using Heoryu-tang Yak-sul, it was entirely mixed with Brûlé’s power.
And the other half was still being built.
And soon after, a potion was created that did not use brûlée.
The only difference between the two potions made was whether or not they used Brûlée.
“One is made by taking your time. The other is made quickly using Brûlé. According to the theory you know, this quickly made potion shouldn’t be as effective as this time-consuming potion, right?”
Ethan threw two potions at Grandel.
“Try to feel it.”
If it’s Grandel, he’ll be able to use emotional magic here most definitely. When Ethan handed over the potion, Grandel looked around.
Everyone seemed to be expecting it.
Ethan’s claim directly contradicted everything they had learned about potion making up to that point.
No one has ever told you to make potions faster.
Even the students who had learned from Hasen Little at the time said that potions should be made slowly and that one should not lose concentration while making them.
Grandel Toph closed his eyes and placed his hands on the two potions.
His hands glowed and immediately emotional magic was cast.
“… … !”
Grandel opened his eyes anxiously.
“Both of these… … .”
Everyone’s attention was focused on his mouth.
“Again, it’s the same thing.”
