A flame as hot as lava was in the palm of Ace's hand it didn't burn nor have an effect on Ace, but to others, they felt the heat it contained.
"Shield" Mr.Bertool used a skill to protect himself from the flames.
As Mr.Bertool got closer he still felt the heat of the flames even though he had a shield around him.
"So hot, now come put it under this pot, and don't worry the pot won't burn no matter how hot the flame is."
"Mr.Bertool does there have to be a certain amount of ingredient for example 10 mana crystals and some potions would increase the effect of the mana crystal and instead of giving you mana it also adds on to whatever the potion you used like strength."
"You'll always need 10 mana crystals no matter what you're making you'll need mana crystals and you'll want to add 5 of any other ingredient. If you wanted a healing potion you'll need the proper herbs." Mr.Bertool explained to Ace.
"Now, I'll show you how to make a healing potion then you'll make anything you wanted."
Mr.Bertool walked to a closet door to grab a box. He brought it to the table he and Ace were doing alchemy.
"Can you open it I'll need to grab the herbs" Mr.Bertool asked Ace.
While Mr.Bertool was grabbing the herbs Ace opened the box.
'I never saw so many mana crystals there's probably 100 or higher mana crystals in one box' Ace said astonished at what he saw.
Mr.Bertool came back with the herbs and put 10 mana crystals in and the 5 herbs inside the pot.
"The herb I just put in is called, Lilac Leaves it's rare in this region, it has a bluish-green color. Now once you have your ingredients you'll have to supply mana to the leaves and mana crystals."
"What do you mean by supplying the leaves and mana crystals' Ace said confused.
"You can transfer some mana to a person or an object you were gonna learn it later this in a few days, but there's no harm in knowing it now." Mr.Bertool told Ace.
"How do you transfer mana to someone or something," Ace asked Mr.Bertool.
"It may sound complicated, but it's easy all you gotta do is control the way your mana circulates around your body if you have enough focus you'll be able to redirect to your fingertips, and once the mana at your fingertips overflow it burst out to anything you move it to." Mr.Bertool said trying to explain things to Ace.
"Try and help me with this just add mana to the leaves and mana crystal" Mr.Bertool requested help from Ace.
'Ace don't worry I'll circulate the mana you just move watch and learn' Amos told Ace.
In 5 seconds mana was flowing through Ace's entire body and it didn't just overflow at Ace's fingers and came out of Ace's whole boy.
'No way, was he lying when he said he didn't know how to circulate mana, in 5 seconds he was able to create an entire aura of mana not even some of the strongest teachers were able to do this at such pace, this boy is a genius.'
While Amos was doing his job Ace felt a boost in his power just like when Amos unsealed his demon side.
"Now that your supplying the mana crystals and leaves with mana we can start." Mr.Bertool said.
Mr.Bertool grabbed a tool that would be able to smash mana crystals and while the crystals were getting smashed the leaves started to burn up.
"The point of supplying them with mana is so they'll be able to become one, all the leaves healing properties are now in the mana crystal, and when we smash the mana crystals all that will remain of it is the tiny particles that we'll add to water and if it turns green that means it was a success but if it stays the same it was a fail." Mr.Bertool said.
When the mana crystals were all smashed up and the leaves all gone Mr.Bertool added them into the water after a few the water never changed colors.
"It was a fail." Mr.Bertool said disappointed.
"I don't think so," Ace said pointing to the liquid.
Mr.Bertool turned around and seen a green-colored liquid, but it had a lighter shade of green than the other potion he made.
"IT'S A HIGH-GRADE HEALING POTION," Mr.Bertool said with excitement.
"How do you know if it's a high-grade or low-grade potion?" Aces asked Mr.Bertool.
"If you look at the other potion I made, it has a dark shade of green meaning it was a low-grade potion, but the potion we just made has a light shade of green meaning it was a high-grade potion." Mr.Bertool said.
Ace stayed there and kept practicing alchemy with Mr.Bertool, they kept making potions for the whole day.
"I can't believe it there wasn't 1 fail and all the potions were high-grade and it's all thanks to you, but we'll have to continue this tomorrow since it's late." Mr.Bertool said.
Ace was getting ready to leave when he was stopped by Mr.Bertool.
"Here take this ring, it can store anything inside of it and take all the strengthening potions. I don't need them and you probably do and one more thing take this card you'll have access to every restricted area in the academy and outside of the academy." Mr.Bertool said while expressing his gratitude towards Ace.
"Thank you," Ace said.
Ace left with everything Mr.Bertool gave him, but what caught his eye the most was the card he gave him it had a logo but Ace didn't know what that logo meant.
Ace was going back to the dorm to get some rest since he used up nearly all his mana.
When Ace arrived he open the door to the room and went straight to the bathroom to take a shower.
"Where were you" a voice from the darkness.
"I don't know what your deal is, but can you just shut up," Ace said and went straight into the shower ignored anything she still had to say.
"I told you Elena he's a true demon he accepted his vicious nature and doesn't want help so you should stay away from him," Rieza told Elena.
"I wanna gain his trust, my life's been boring, but I feel like if I'm with him my life's gonna be filled with adventures," Elena said with a little tone of sadness.
"You won't be able to he has the same eyes like your father the eye of someone with no emotions," Rieza said.
"Do you think him and my father would get off on good terms if they met?" Elena asked Rieza.
"Possibly they seem identical why do you ask?" Rieza said.
"Since we have free days on Saturday and Sunday I'll try and convince him to come over to my house and let him meet my father," Elena said with hope.
"That's a dumb plan if your father takes a liking to him he'll try and get him to mar- wait that's your true plan," Rieza said.
"N-No it's not I just want them to meet and hopefully I gain his trust that way," Elena said embarrassed.
"Yeah, that's "definitely" your plan," Rieza said with a smirk.
Ace came out of the shower and was getting ready to sleep, but couldn't because Rieza and Elena kept talking.
"Be quiet" Ace told them.
"We will," Elena said.
Ace was struggling to sleep and got up and went outside of the academy to get some air. When he got there he saw two other people outside a girl and a girl.
So Ace tried listening to them from a distance.
"Hehe, you're a slave from my family meaning I can do whatever I want to you and you can't decline since you know what." The boy said with a lustful face.
The boy tried making a move on the girl when she kicked him right in the guts.
"How dare you kick me" the boy went to punch the girl in the face when he was stopped by someone.
"W-Who are you?" the boy said in fear of the unknown.
[Hell Flame]
"AHHHHHHHHHH I'M SO SORRY SO PLEASE STOP THIS PAIN." The boy begged for his life while crying.
5 seconds later the boy's body was burnt to the point you won't recognize who it was anymore.
"W-Who are you?" The girl said in fear that the person may kill her as well.
"Don't worry I'm not here to hurt you just wanted to kill the scum who used status as power." Ace said in disgust.
