Studying is a dangerous affair, as one can easily be bitten by dogs that appear out of nowhere.
Yet... anyone may be devoured, but those engaged in study now... are the inherently evil alchemists!
"Eh, why do I get free materials just by studying!"
Grabbing one tightly, stuffing it into a flask, it's refined in an instant!
During this process, they don't forget to use a yin-yang contract for ritual summoning; when the newly born Fire Elementals think they are about to embark on a proper job, they find themselves teleported to the Alchemy Association, and immediately seized to stoke the crucibles by force.
Curse Hounds originally thought they would once again draw vast knowledge from the mortal world to strengthen their kind, only to end up as the main ingredient in braised dog meat.
But what's not dangerous in front of alchemists doesn't mean it's not dangerous in front of other races!
