Following their idea, Julius entered various alchemy workshops to propose his services. However, he and Adam forgot to consider a small but glaring detail. Because of this detail, most shop owners gave the same answer.
"Pah, I would be damned if I let a kid like you around my precious materials."
"Get the hell out of here if you aren't buying anything."
"Haha, are you even attending the college? Do you even have an alchemist certification?"
Despite Julius' height and well-developed muscles, his youthful face betrayed his true age, making the alchemists laugh or snap at him for his daring joke.
Frustrated after being rejected for the third time, Adam couldn't hold back his annoyance. "I have a certification from the system. Here, it's written in the job column! Old bastards. I'm sure I can brew potions much better than you lot."
