After Raed finished speaking, he looked at Sara, who was crying and hiding her head in her hands, waiting for Karim to hit her. Raed sighed with sympathy, then extended his hand and patted Sara's head, saying in a gentle voice:
"... Don't worry, no one will bully you anymore."
"... W-w-wait, young master, I was so scared! That fat man wanted to hurt you... W-w-w-where did that..."
When Sara saw Raed, she cried and threw herself into his arms, crying out of fear for Raed rather than herself. Then, when she saw Karim lying on the ground like a heap of dirt, she was astonished and immediately became happy when she looked at Raed.
"..... Finally, sir, you can now train. My lady told me that you would be very strong if you could train..."
Raed looked at the ridiculous doll and smiled, saying,
"... Little girl, don't worry about that. I will protect you from now on. Go prepare the food; I will buy something from the market..."
"... But, young sir, you don't have any money. That pig stole it two months ago..."
Sara said with some embarrassment, then looked at Raed, who laughed and said,
"... Don't worry, I'll take care of it."
Raed then made his way to the Alchemy Wing. The Alchemy Wing is a mysterious force primarily responsible for making the pills needed by practitioners. Due to their constant need for energy, pills have become essential, and they make a lot of money. However, the conditions for learning alchemy are having a strong spirit and spiritual fire. Because of this and the mystery of its origin, no one dares to oppose the Alchemy Wing.
Raed arrived in front of the Alchemy Wing, where a majestic plaque was grandly and impressively inscribed: "Alchemy Wing."
"... What a majestic entrance..."
Raed became somewhat cautious but remembered that he had sealed alchemy memories, which would only appear within his level or if he saw high-level pills, chemicals, or specific diseases
."... What kind of beggar is entering my Alchemy Wing? Throw this trash out..."
As soon as Raed entered, a haughty voice spoke with great disdain, looking at Raed, whose clothes, though clean, were old and not of high quality.
"... Damn the arrogant Hijazi family. Do you think the Alchemy Wing belongs to the Hijazi family?"
Raed looked at the speaker and recognized him—a man in his forties, tall with an evil look, his hair a mix of white and black. He immediately recognized him as a member of the Hijazi family, specifically their alchemist.
"... Little bastard, look at you. Do you think this is a place a bastard like you can enter? Guards, throw him out..."
Raed's face grew cold, and a killing intent appeared in his heart, but he restrained it. He was still very weak, and if he wasn't mistaken, this old man had reached the Realm of String Transformation and could kill him in an instant. He thought for a moment, then a smile appeared on his lips.
"... Are you sure about this?"
"... Damn it, you little bastard, do you really think you're something? I'll break your limbs first and then throw you into your carpenter family..."
The man advanced towards Raed, but Raed suddenly shouted,
".... The Star Herb is wrong; it will explode the furnace..."
The man was stunned and stood in place, confused, then became angry
."... Damn it, do you want to die? Are you acting arrogantly here?"
As he spoke, he released his momentum, causing tremendous pressure on Raed, almost making his bones crack.
"... Stop..."
Suddenly, a loud shout dispersed all the pressure, and an old man with white hair and a long beard, looking noble at first glance but with torn clothes and remnants of medical materials and some charcoal, stepped forward.
"... Who said the furnace would explode just now..."
