Necromancer’s Evolutionary Traits - Chapter 29

Episode 29. As soon as I came out of the herbology evaluation

classroom, the blue sky and the cool wind carried fallen leaves.

I smiled at the noon sun rising high in the sky.

‘It happened often.’

In one hand, he was holding the report card he had just brought out.

no no no

Let’s think good.

If I had been late returning from the rally the day before, I wouldn’t have even been able to take the test in the first place.

The only thing I have to lament is the fact that I forgot that today was a test.

‘Still, it’s fortunate that the afternoon lecture is evaluated next week.’

To tell the truth, Silbec’s class in the afternoon was evaluated next week, so of course I only knew that the morning lecture would be evaluated next week.

There are so many crazy things going on these days, it seems like he really lost his mind.

It was something I couldn’t have imagined when I was Kim Jin-hwan, but lately, I have a strong feeling that Adrias’s personality stands out.

‘After all, the body is Adrias.’

Even if the same content is put in the same head, each person is a case by case, so even if the memory of being Kim Jin-hwan entered Adrias, it does not seem to be Kim Jin-hwan.

‘Tomorrow is herbal medicine intermediate. It’s fortunate that it’s a field I’m confident in.’

I knew that my herbalism professor, Burban, had feelings for me.

However, as this is an evaluation that everyone in the class sees, I won’t be able to point out and harm it.

… … I’m sure it will.

* * *

Contrary to the expectations of the previous day, when I thought I would not be able to do it, I laughed out loud at the scene unfolding in front of me.

‘Why is no one here?’

Herbology class was obviously in the afternoon.

The content of the evaluation was also informed on the same day, so I entered the classroom on time without thinking, but no one was there.

There was only a memo written on the board of the denomination saying that the evaluation would be conducted in an outdoor plaza.

When I read the memo and hurriedly went out to the plaza, I saw numerous experimental tables, herbalism students conducting experiments, and students passing by watching them.

“What is this?”

Involuntarily, I muttered to myself and made my way through the crowd to enter.

I just happened to see the back of Professor Burban’s head, and I started talking right away.

“professor.”

“hmm? Oh Adrias. Why are you so late?”

“Are you late? I got to the classroom on time.”

“I must have notified the place and time of the evaluation on the tablet? Didn’t you check?”

이 개새끼.

Did you aim?

Unfortunately, I didn’t have a magic tablet.

Since the tablet is an artifact, it was a freedom that was not essential for purchase like major books.

That meant that it was quite expensive, which led to the story that Adrias, a poor man, could not live without.

“Please join us as soon as possible.”

“professor. I’m sorry, but I don’t have a tablet, so I don’t know anything about the announcement or content about the evaluation. May I ask for an explanation?”

“No, you are an aristocrat, but you don’t have a tablet? That’s true.”

what are we going to do now

I eat shit very openly.

Please explain the contents of the test quickly.

When I sent the unspoken pressure through my eyes, one of the teaching assistants next to him came over and explained instead of the professor who had been silent.

“Let me explain. Some time ago, Professor Burban invented a new potion on his own.”

“Adventure!”

I thought it was a bit of a joke, but you did one thing and your shoulders went up, right?

Anyway, I don’t like what you’re doing.

“This evaluation is to analyze the potion Professor Burban made. Each lab has a potion sample made by the professor. You can use this to find the ingredients and mixing ratio that went into the potion. Conversation or interaction with other students is prohibited at all, and the time is until 8:00 pm on the day.

“It’s a bit late, but go and try it now.”

“All right.”

For now, I killed my personal feelings and calmly headed to the empty laboratory.

But why are you doing it outdoors?

Of course, it doesn’t matter where I do it, but having onlookers bothered me a little.

“Now, all of our herbalists have gathered. That student who just arrived is the famous Adrias Cromwell. He is a talented friend who has even managed to create a new potion and become a warlock.”

I was standing on the lab table trying to check the potion Burban had made, but Burban suddenly started introducing me as if he were a clown.

‘What are we going to do now?’

Bubba you… … .

You caught me right?

Apparently, Burban thinks I just put the potion that Lucia and I made on top of it.

That’s why I’m going to openly give you the side, right?

“Now let’s see how quickly that amazing student completes the Herbology assessment. By the way, it is expected that no student will pass this test perfectly, but I think Adrias is an exception. I’m really looking forward to it!”

Burban snorted, ignoring my bewildered stare.

Then quite a few students stopped and looked at me as they passed by.

‘Let’s be cool.’

Do you think I’m going to be shaken by something like this?

To be honest, I was shaken.

in a good way.

‘This potion. I’ll be sure to find out.’

No matter what, I decided to dig up the potions one by one within the set time.

* * *

I don’t think conducting the evaluation outdoors was meant to blindly piss me off.

There was a magic material shop right next door, so students could freely purchase materials with the permission of their assistants and use them in experiments right away.

Of course, all expenses were provided by the academy.

‘This is a stimulant.’

I was able to find out the efficacy soon after entering the experiment.

The potion created by Berban was a high-caffeine beverage in modern terms.

Now that we have figured out the effect, if we compare the color and the strength of the chemical reaction with the item in the game, we can quickly figure out what it is.

‘Still, I did create something called a professor.’

I eagerly mixed and shaken the other ingredients to check the reaction.

Fortunately, I confirmed that one of the items I had in mind and the reaction was similar, and immediately took note of it.

‘Intermediate boost potion. I used this quite often in the game.’

It was less useful than the recovery and regeneration potion, but it was a potion that I used occasionally.

In addition, there were no surprises because the rating was higher than expected.

Contrary to what Burvan looks like, he’s doing quite a bit.

The title of professor doesn’t seem to have been taken for granted.

‘If I do well, I can really get it by 8 o’clock?’

Now that the potion was specified, the list of ingredients was finished.

Now, all you have to do is find the mixing ratio.

Of course, that mixing ratio was the most difficult, but there was still more than 5 hours left.

‘Burban bastard. I must rescue them.’

No one could stop my fighting spirit, which was on fire more than ever.

In a situation where everyone else was watching, I openly gathered the ingredients that only go into intermediate boost potions and started looking for the mixing ratio.

“Kuh hmm. Oh, Mr. Adrias?”

As expected, Burban came to my lab right away.

Without turning my head once, I continued the experiment and answered.

“yes. professor.”

“that… … .”

Burban couldn’t bear to ask how he figured out the ingredients.

“W It’s good to see you working hard. It looks like you’re going the wrong way, but do your best.”

What? Are you bluffing so openly now?

The wrong way is the way your kid goes.

“yes. I’ll figure it out. You’re working hard supervising, but he’s resting in the shade over there.”

“… … .”

I can feel Burban’s rough breathing in the openly blown congratulatory order.

Even so, I didn’t pay attention to the end and moved busily to find the mixing ratio.

I was concentrating on the experiment for a while, but I felt that Burban was standing next to my lab table and watching until the end.

what is it that you haven’t gone yet?

“professor? Are you still here?”

When I said something disrespectful to him once more, Bubban, his face reddened, turned his head away and moved away.

The funny thing is, I walked towards the other side of the shade as if I wasn’t going to follow what I said earlier.

I really want to get a hold of one.

Time passed gradually, and it was 5:00 p.m., when the sun began to set.

It was also the end of the afternoon lecture, so it was crowded with students who had finished the lecture and those who had gone out for an early dinner.

‘It’s almost done.’

Also, talent is scary.

Of course, the potion given as a sample also played a part, but the potion-making talent with the ability of a genius was trying to find the mixing ratio of an intermediate boost potion in just a few hours.

‘Now, if you try it three or four times… … .’

“professor. It’s done.”

Breaking my thoughts, someone raised their hand and said.

When I saw the protagonist with that languid voice, I couldn’t help but laugh.

‘Lucia. Is it you?’

Cookie bags and crumbs that did not match the experiment were strewn about on her lab bench, but aside from that appearance, a potion of the same color as Professor Burban’s potion was made.

“You mean already?”

“yes. Can I go now?”

“It is okay to go as long as you write down the list of ingredients used and the mixing ratio on the test paper.”

“Here you go.”

Lucia walked over, handed in the test papers, and turned around without hesitation.

In the process, our eyes met, and she closed her sleepy eyes like half moons and smiled.

“senior. I won this time.”

After saying that, she left the place.

When she left, the students who had been watching for a while rang out the praises of Lucia Everlast.

“Hey, but wasn’t that Adrias the co-producer of the potion with Lucia?”

“yes.”

“But why is he still eating porridge?”

“hey. No matter how you compare it to Lucia Everlast. he’s a genius Can you compare it to a genius?”

Hearing the faint sound, I unconsciously followed Lucia with my eyes.

Obviously, when I first got to know her, I felt like an existence that I couldn’t catch up with, let alone compete with.

But the emotion I felt now was resentment.

Embarrassingly, I was feeling competitive with her now.

‘Adrias Mai has grown up.’

I secretly laughed and tried to focus on the experiment again.

Could I have beaten her if I had come in time?

no. focus now.

Time passed and about 30 minutes had passed since Lucia left.

“done.”

Finally, I figured out the mixing ratio.

I wrote down the compounding ratio I found on the test paper and stood up.

“Are you buying ingredients?”

A teaching assistant nearby looked at me and asked.

“no. It’s done.”

“Is it over?”

“I’ve been looking for an answer.”

“… … yes? Oh, congratulations.”

The teaching assistant must have been taken aback and spat out words that did not match the situation at all.

And as if Burban had heard my words that I was looking for an answer, he was looking at me with open eyes.

“Are you really looking for an answer?”

“yes. Here you are.”

When I gave the potion I made at the same time as handing over the test paper, Burban looked at me, the potion, and the test paper in disbelief.

That’s why it seems like the toad is reacting to the food.

“Did you really do it?”

“You saw it.”

“I can’t believe it.”

What is he saying now.

Anyway, I did it with 2 hours left in the time limit, and I turned around coolly.

I could feel that not only the students who were watching me, but also the students who were evaluating me were looking at me with amazement.

I could hear the onlookers around me spitting out words one by one.

okay! Praise me like Lucia!

“Yeah. yes yes yes I wasn’t lying about inventing the potion.”

“That Adrias had some talent too. After all, God is fair.”

Why am I not admiring like Lucia?

Even so, I was relieved to see that I had sufficiently demonstrated my abilities.

“Professor, then play around, no, thank you for your hard work.”

I made a slight slip of the tongue, but Burban was not paying attention as he had his face slammed into my test paper.

Anyway, only the name of the ingredients and the mixing ratio are written, so what does that mean?

As I was about to leave with such a light heart, a crowd suddenly roared and someone jumped out of the crowd.

“Professor Burban!”

He seemed to be a senior student than me, but he ran to me calling out to me with an unfair expression.

“professor! How can you do this?”

“Yes? Gerolph What are you doing here?”

“What’s wrong! The potion that is here right now! Wasn’t it made by me! But using it for evaluation wasn’t enough, the professor made it!”

“Ugh! What are you talking about! Aren’t there so many people who hear it, they misunderstand it!”

Ohh?

This thing goes very fun.

I stopped my steps to leave and smiled.

Since he was hurt by Bubban earlier, let’s try to get rid of that student’s resentment.
