…
When Xin Ja saw who the woman is, his expression suddenly changed. This is because he knew who the young woman is. She is someone that he saved from before, one of the students who was escaping and landed on his trap. At that time, she was wounded really badly and he has to make a move just to save her life.
"Oh, cousin Zhen, you're here!… Hehe… What are you talking about? I'm not doing anything. I just met a new friend." Qing Joming said while patting Xin Ja's shoulder.
"As if I'm going to believe that… Anyway, stay out of trouble. Since you wanted to enroll this time, Auntie told me to look after you and make sure that you do not fool around too much." Liu Zhen said while shifting his gaze to Xin Ja.
She did not say anything and just nodded her head towards Xin Ja and then walks to the audience seat.
Many people in the area were immediately attracted to her presence and her icy beauty. Liu Zhen is a 16-year-old beautiful young woman. Although she is just a 2nd level Ki fighter, nobody would take her lightly especially when it comes to sword arts and combat mastery.
Beside Xin Ja, Qing Joming began explaining the abilities of his cousin at Xin Ja who showed an awkward expression. He could tell that the young man beside him truly admires his cousin. Then he notices some of the young men around them also leaning in their direction while listening to his words. It was as if their eyes are filled with infatuation while looking at the icy beauty on the stage.
Qing Joming only stopped when he noticed her glare at him.
The elemental affinity assessment lasted for a couple of hours before everyone finished and was sent to line up once again.
On the four platforms and on the large stage, where people with high status should be seated when tournaments are being held, each has a table where people are seated. On each table, there is a sign which shows which type of occupation they are.
The alchemy, medical, smithing, runemaster, and beast tamer occupations are presented. However, for the poison and combat master occupation, there are none. This is because the two occupations are something that a mere 1st level Ki fighters could easily enter.
Plus, there are no poison masters in Ogden academy. There are some who delve into poison craft, but they always end up dead in the end as they are not that proficient in poison mastery and would sometimes end up either dying to kill someone which in turn would make them a target for the city guards and the citizen.
And so, poison and combat master are not included in this assessment.
Everyone began to walk to their designated occupation expertise. This is one of the reasons that they wanted to apply to the academy. They wanted to show that even though they are only at level 1, they too have the talent to contribute.
Xin Ja, on the other hand, did not line up to runemaster or medical booth. He instead chooses alchemy.
Behind him stood Qing Joming who is showing a wide smile on his face.
"Hey, Brother Ja… You're also an alchemist like me?" Qing Joming asked with a hint of excitement in his eyes.
Who could have known that the person he decided to befriend in this bunch would be an alchemist too? So he feels a bit excited upon knowing this.
"Ahh… well, I know a little bit." Xin Ja said with an awkward smile.
In fact, he only decided to go and line up here, because, out of all the things he learned from Shin Jiao's lesson, alchemy is something that he truly did not understand the most.
He is not that familiar with the many herbs and he is a bit shy to ask when in town. So he only knew a few of them. Although he could already make some pills, through the pill concocting method that he learned from his lessons, yet he knew that it is not enough.
He already knew medicine, runes, and smithing, so only alchemy is a bit baffling for him. He is thinking of learning something while in here.
The line suddenly began to lessen as everyone was called to go up the stage. They then began to form in a circle and were told to sit down on the platform.
In the middle, they have noticed that there are around four tables. One is for the person in charge of recording, two tables are full of herbs, and the last table is where alchemy instruments are set up.
When Xin Ja saw the alchemy instruments, he became a bit curious about them.
But upon inspecting, he noticed that he did not know most of the instruments being used. But some of the instruments made of glass he recognized them. According to one of his lessons, he could name a few of the things in there, like… beaker, flask, mortar and pestle, scale, clamps, and test tubes. His eyes became a bit excited upon seeing those familiar things.
But before his mind could think further, the person in charge suddenly called out his instructions.
"Everyone listen up!"
Upon hearing this, the crowd quieted down.
"I am Teacher Teng… and I will be your evaluator for this test." The man said with a serious expression.
"I will call 5 of you and will give you around ten minutes to concoct a basic potion that I will assign. If you are able to do make one within that time limit, then you pass. If not… then you can try your luck in the other occupations… By the way, those who have not listed your names in alchemy occupation, you could only wait until everyone is done." he explained.
He then looks at his list and then began calling out some names.
Xin Ja was a bit perplexed because he has not filled out anything when he enters the academy. His Master just told him to enter the school and the staff at the gate just let him enter. So he was not able to fill out anything at that time and has only submitted his name.
However, this thought flew at the back of his mind when he saw that the test is already starting. The ones who are called began to scramble and pick the herbs on the other tables. After collecting the ones they needed they began to compound it and then process the herbs.
While watching, Xin Ja showed amazement in his eyes as he have not seen anything like this before. Soon, he could see something boiling in the flask and a strange aroma wafted in the air. The first five who were called seem to be experts in compounding basic healing potions, so they all passed.
The next batch of students was called and they were assigned to create a basic numbing potion. Soon, their task was done and two of them did not pass.
In potions, there are 6 basic types. The basic healing potion is used for superficial wounds. It is used either internally or externally to hasten the body's ability to heal wounds. The basic numbing potion is often used externally… this would make the body numb from minor pains. Then there is a basic antidote which is useful for common poison. The basic strength potion is used by many adventurers in fighting. Then there is the haste potion to improve one's agility. And the last is the night vision potion which enables one to see in the dark.
These are the 6 basic potions that lower-level alchemist creates.
And so, each batch of 5 would be asked to create any of these 6 basic potions.
Qing Joming's name was already called and he was able to pass as he is able to expertly create a night vision potion. After returning to Xin Ja's side, he proudly crossed his arms and then looks at the next batch.
"Did you see that Brother Ja? I'm good, right?" he proudly said.
"Yeah… I guess…"
"Well, how could I not be? That crazy cousin of mine would always force me to create these basic potions and even the intermediate ones whenever she would go on missions… I'm like his alchemies slave…" suddenly Qing Joming whined in a low tone.
Xin Ja almost burst out laughing at the guy's antics. Well, he could already imagine how that icy cold beauty would command her cousin to do her bidding. Her proud disposition could only make Xin Ja lament the fate of Qing Joming.
"Hmm… Let me guess, she is the one who forced you to enter the academy, right?" Xin Ja suddenly said with a smile.
The eyes of Qing Joming went wide as he suddenly put his hand on Xin Ja's shoulder.
"You… you are going to be my best friend. You already know my predicament… truly… truly a good friend." Qing Joming said while showing a moved expression on his face.
But before Xin Ja could say anything, the person in charge suddenly called out.
"Those who were not called please step forward."
Upon hearing this, Xin Ja nodded his head at Qing Joming who showed a confused expression.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
