The sun rose into the sky, welcoming the arrival of a new day. Fenix dark abysmal pupils slowly flared to life.
He had a light smile on his face, as he immediately got up from his bed.
He entered the bathroom and did the needful...
*************
Fenix appeared before the Alchemy Hall. Entering the Alchemy room. He was greeted with a fragant smell, yet no Alchemy was going on. He could only see about a hundred disciple seated in the small classroom.
And in front of them was a lady with curvaceous waist, azure hair and pupils, it was none other than Moneca.
"Oh... So that's what she meant by see me tomorrow. She's the Alchemy Instructor."
He muttered with a smile, as he immediately took his seat amongst the hundred of disciples.
Instructor Moneca upon sighting Fenix gave him a light smile. As he nod his head in reply.
"Alright, it seems that everyone is here. The lecture shall now begin. But before that, it wouldn't be nice if we don't get to know each other. You can all address me as Instructor Moneca."
She had a light smile on her face as she further added.
"Everyone can begin introducing themselves."
And so did everyone introduce themselves, one after the other they stood up and talked briefly about themselves.
"Fenix." Fenix said with a cold look on his face, while still in his seated position.
Instructor Moneca had a light smile on her face as she slowly shook her head.
"Alright, since everyone has introduced themselves. The lecture shall now begin." She paused for a second before she further added.
"Who can tell me what Alchemy is and who is an Alchemist."
"I, I, I Instructor Moneca." A student raised her hands as she yelled out in ecstacy.
"Alright, Janet. You are free to speak." Instructor Moneca replied with a slight smile on her face.
"Thanks instructor Moneca. Alchemy is the ancient practice of transforming materials, substances which can vary from herbs, natural treasures, and so on to create elixirs, pills and potions. While an Alchemist is someone who is attuned or trained in the art of Alchemy itself." Janet said with great confidence, as a wide smile surfaced on her face.
One which widened even more after Instructor Moneca suddenly spoke.
"Absolutely correct. Everyone give Janet a round of applause."
"Really."
Fenix muttered as he shook his head slightly.
'The whole class seemed to have been made for babies, but nevertheless the undisputed fact was the fact that every single second he spent here added in amass to his knowledge. One which could be considered pretty shallow and minimal.'
"After all Janet has just said, am sure there's no need for me to further emphasize on what Alchemy and an Alchemist is?" Instructor Moneca questioned with a light smile.
Which the disciples all responded a wild yes to.
"Yeees."
"Alright, glad to see you are all enjoying the class. So why don't we dive deeper into the various types of Alchemist." She said with a bright smile before she further added.
"Alchemist are divided into four types. And they are:
1) Pill Alchemist
2) Tablet Alchemist
3) Serum Alchemist and finally
4) Liquid or Soda Alchemist."
"Interesting, so they are even different types of Alchemist. Well that makes sense anyways, considering the different types of Alchemy Art that might exist." Fenix mused to himself, as he listened with rapt attention.
Trying to get everything he could get...
"As you all might know, Pill Alchemists are the master crafters of enchanted pills or enchanted pill capsules. They infuse rare herbs, essences and even elemental energies to create consumable orbs that grant enhancements which can range from temporary to permanent enhancements or even some more advanced Pill Alchemist who can grant temporary or permanent unique abilities to the ingester.
Pill Alchemist are also referred to as, Alchemy Apothecracy.
Tablet Alchemist on the other hand are referred to ad the Architects Of Runic Scripts/Tablets.
Tablet Alchemists delve into the art of inscribing runic symbols and inscriptions onto magical tablets; tablets with unique properties that allow them to be used as a medium for creating potent tablets which can be ingested to gain temporary or permanent abilities or enhancements.
Serum Alchemist are usually referred to as meanders of flesh and spirit. Serum Alchemist specialize in crafting elixirs and potions that directly influence the body and spirit. Serum Alchemist blend exotic ingredients to create serums capable of healing wounds, enhancing physical attributes or even some advanced Serum Alchemist who can create serums that are capable of temporarily unlocking dormant powers.
And finally the Liquid or Soda Alchemist.
They are mostly referred to as Artisans Of Quenching Elixirs. Liquid Alchemists are the creator's and crafters of refreshing, effervescent concoctions. Their elixirs are often enjoyed as beverages, provide a range of effect which can range from heightened sense, perception to mental clarity..."
At the end of her long and maybe arduous speech. The entire students gave her a resounding applause as she had a light smile surfacing upon her face, as it grew wider by the passing moment.
" Interesting, who could have expected Alchemy to be so broad and... Interesting." Fenix muttered with a light smile on his face.
'Liquid or Soda Alchemist was the one that intrigued him the most. Who would have thought that soda' s and beverages could also be used as a sort of elixir and potion. '
"But Instructor Moneca, since even Alchemy is so broad. Which one exactly are we going to learn." Another student, a male student named John questioned with a confused expression written all over his face.
"Good question, John." Instructor Moneca replied with a light smile before she further added.
"Sit down John, thanks for asking such a brilliant question. Just as John as asked, the broadness of Alchemy, brings the need to divide them into layers for you students to learn. Therefore the first Alchemy you guys will be learning would be..."
She was suddenly interrupted by a voice, the source from none other than Fenix who had a nonchalant expression on his face.
"Liquid or Soda Alchemy."
She had a light smile on her face, as she asked with a raised brow.
"And how did you know that, Fenix."
"Simple, according to how you described them to be. It stands well to reason that the liquid or soda Alchemy should be the simplest and also the easiest to teach. Which stands to say that we would be taught Liquid/Soda Alchemy first."
"Yes, you are correct Fenix. You all will start practicing and learning about Liquid/Soda Alchemy from tomorrow onwards. As for today, you are all dispersed."
She said, as everyone got up in ecstacy, as they couldn't wait for tomorrow to come to being...
"Fenix, wait behind." The voice suddenly tore through the air as Fenix squinted his brow as he came to a stand still.
Facing her as everyone slowly exited the class with suspicion obvious in their eyes, while some simply thought he was told to stay due to his intelligent answer...
"Hope am not in trouble." Fenix asked with a light chuckle.
As he slowly neared her.
She had a light smile on her face, before she forced it down.
"Fenix, we are in the classroom. Please control yourself."
Fenix let out a light laughter seeing her failed attempt at being stern.
"Anyways, why did you ask me to stay." He asked with a raised brow.
'Just to help you as usual.' She rolled her eyes as she suddenly spoke.
"Just wanted to tell you that you should visit the library and use your credit points to secure one or two technique. Since am sure you don't even know a library exists."
"OH... So that is what that credit points you talked about are for." He murmured with a light smile.
"Thanks, My darling Moneca." He teased.
Moneca's face flushed red for a second as she struggled to say out the words.
"W-ho is your darling."
"You, of course. Who else could it be. Anyways thanks for the information. See you tomorrow." He said with a light smile as he made way out of the Alchemy Hall with a light smile on his face.
Instructor Moneca had a wide smile on her face as she suddenly remembered something, as her voice suddenly tore through the air.
"Fool, he didn't even ask for the library's location." She facepalmed herself as she decided to go and visit him later on, so she could deliver the information to him...
