Chapter 42 Three Master-level Techniques, Applying for Assessment
Time passed day by day.
With Chris's financial support.
Ian briefly averted the crisis involving the magic stone.
My proficiency with secondary stamina potions is steadily improving.
In the blink of an eye.
Another half month has passed.
The Lesser Stamina Potion has reached Master level, increasing by 190 points.
In the days that followed.
Ian's success rate in processing materials gradually increased, as if he were growing rapidly.
Sure enough, just three days later...
Hal then sent him to process the materials for the secondary antidote.
However, unlike the first two materials, the materials for the secondary antidote are not so simple.
Several of them were poisons.
Therefore, it takes Ian longer to process the data and more time.
Not to mention practicing witchcraft, even the time spent meditating has been shortened.
......
In the blink of an eye.
Another half month has passed.
This month, I still received zero Magic Stones as salary, but Vivian's Magic Stones arrived on time!
There is also another piece of good news.
"Finally, the tenth rune has been formed."
Inside the room, Ian sensed the changes in his mental space and took a deep breath.
For the two months since joining the department, he has never stopped meditating.
Basically, I maintain one mental energy rune per month.
Even when I was incredibly busy last month, it was still the same.
Today, the tenth rune was finally formed.
"but!"
Ian frowned.
It seems that the time it took for the runes to condense this time has increased slightly compared to before, by about four or five days.
It's longer than before.
"The condensation of runes is becoming increasingly difficult!"
Ian was not surprised by this; he had experienced it when he first joined the school, but his talent had been constantly improving, so he was able to maintain his speed.
It's even making progress.
However, his talent has grown slowly over the past two months.
This slows down the meditation process.
Ian shook his head.
In any case, this is not good news.
Every day, conflicts occur outside the school, and the school is not peaceful either. Even within the Potions Department, there are open and covert struggles.
Even Hal could become a threat at any time; he is a second-class wizard apprentice.
Even if one's mental strength weakens with age, one is still a second-class wizard.
There is a vast gap between them and first-class wizards.
In this environment, the strength of a first-class wizard is far too weak.
"Once you advance, you'll have to refocus your energy on improving your talent."
Ian took a deep breath.
To increase mental strength quickly, you either need to use a lot of resources or use a lot of resources to improve your talent.
The result won't be much different.
However, the former is used and that's it, while the latter, although it involves more procedures, enhances its foundation.
"There are still two weeks left."
Ian was calculating.
In half a month, his secondary antidote should also be able to be upgraded to master level.
Then we can leave directly from here.
"Victor took a month and a half, but he was favored by many wizarding families and received a lot of resources. In contrast, I took three months under these circumstances."
Ian pondered the information he had gathered over the past few days.
Three months was a reasonable timeframe for him, and it would also allow him to showcase some of his talent.
Ian was labeled a magical genius during his studies, which brought him many benefits.
Similarly, if you want to stay safe in the Potions Department, hiding is often the only effective way.
The incident with Chris, in particular, left a deep impression on him.
The weak are bullied!
He needed to get Vivian's attention.
Even greater fame would deter Hal from taking action against him, or even those around him.
Sometimes, showing it off is also a form of hiding one's true intentions.
Exposing some of your capabilities in exchange for greater security.
.......
In the blink of an eye.
Half a month has passed.
During this period, Hal made him handle materials in a rather chaotic manner, but there were still some materials for secondary antidotes.
He still upgraded the secondary antidote to the master level.
Talent has been increased to 195.
It's just one step away from 200.
Meanwhile, on this day...
Ian decided to apply for the junior pharmacist exam.
...........
Bang bang bang!
Ian knocked on Vivian's door.
"Enter!"
A crisp sound rang out, and Ian pushed open the door and went inside.
Not far from the door, Vivian sat behind a table, frowning as she worked on the documents in front of her.
"Ian?"
She looked up and was somewhat surprised to see Ian.
"Minister Vivian!"
Ian nodded.
"Is there something you need? If it's about transferring out of the department, if you've really thought it through..." Vivian guessed Ian's purpose.
Vivian was naturally aware of Ian's situation.
However, they did not intervene.
The goal was to test Ian's talent.
Can't hold on any longer?
A sense of disappointment rose in Vivian's heart.
"No, Minister Vivian, I want to apply for the junior pharmacist exam."
Ian shook his head and said.
"The entry-level pharmacist exam?"
Vivian was taken aback at first, then her pupils gradually dilated.
It's only been three months since Ian joined the department!
Moreover, he was in Hal's laboratory, and he was only sponsored by a small family.
In this situation, how could they tell her that she needed to take a junior pharmacist exam?
Are you sure?
Vivian calmed her shock and confirmed it again.
"Sure."
Ian nodded.
"OK."
Vivian has always been decisive.
At the same time, she also believed that Ian wouldn't lie to her about something like this.
"Go downstairs to the lab and wait for me. Or, just stay here with me. I'll let Hal know."
Vivian stood up and said.
According to the normal procedure, the presence of the responsible wizard is required for the promotion to junior pharmacist.
soon.
The door opened, and Hal walked in.
His face was full of confusion.
Just now, Vivian sent someone to tell him to come to her office.
But he and Vivian probably don't have much interaction!
But when he saw Ian in the room, a look of realization flashed in his eyes.
"Vice Minister Vivian, if you're here to mediate, I don't think it was necessary to invite me here today."
He was utterly rude to Vivian, who was not far away.
He's one of Doug's men and isn't afraid of Vivian at all.
"No, it's just that Ian is taking the pharmacist exam, and as the head pharmacist, you need to be present!"
Vivian shook her head, not taking it to heart.
"Wait... the entry-level pharmacist exam?"
Hal was taken aback, then looked at Ian not far away, his eyes widening.
How is that possible?
It's only been three months!
Within the department, he almost never allowed Ian to touch potion preparation, and even confiscated Ian's magic stones.
With Ian's wealth and the support of that small family, could he afford to concoct potions?
"Vice Minister Vivian, this joke isn't funny." Ha'er forced a smile.
I'm not kidding you.
Vivian shook her head. At this moment, the servant had already delivered the materials to the experimental table not far away.
A recording crystal has been installed.
Vivian said directly.
"Now that everyone's here, Ian, let's begin the setup."
"OK."
Ian walked to the test bench.
Start configuration
