After doing what he had to, Zach returned to the Academy. It was too soon to check on the others, anyway. He helped Alzara get started with production by making a bunch of material worms with his skill on the resources they had.
Compared to his first few dozen worms, the ones he made now were exquisite. They were almost completely free from impurities. They were easy to use, and the potency of the original ingredients was even easier to extract. Even without them being easier to craft with, the potions Alzara made with the materials worms were more powerful than the ones she made with raw ingredients.
The potions made with material worms weren't just more potent. Since the material worms barely had any impurities, they were also safer to consume, even in greater amounts. So, Zach quickly started living on potions that enhanced his natural recovery even further and gave him energy.
