The alchemy class was held in a gloomy underground classroom. It was colder than the castle building above, and Joshua felt like it was close to a dungeon—a place for confinement. Glass jars are lined up along the walls, and the soaked taxidermy insides make you shiver.

Julia Jeunese picked up the roster as soon as class started, and her sweet voice always stopped when she called on the names of Joshua Donavan and Lena Donawan.

"Oh, yes," she whispered, "Joshua Donavan, and, Lena Donavan, this is our new arrival—the famous one." ”

Max Exkushin and his girlfriend Dominis and younger brother Gibson laughed with their hands over their mouths. Julia looks up at the class, his eyes are cold and hollow, and you think of two dark tunnels.

"What a gloomy woman, but her voice is sweet and disgusting." Lena thought.

"You have come here to learn the exact science and strict craft of alchemy." She spoke, almost in a voice that was slightly higher than a whisper, but everyone could hear every word he said.

Like Ms. Blista, Ms. Julia has the deterrent power to keep the classroom in order effortlessly.

"Since there is no stupid waving of a wand here, many of you will not believe that it is magic. I don't expect you to really appreciate the beauty of the simmering cauldron with white smoke and fragrance. Nor do I expect your foolish minds to comprehend the deep mysteries of the alchemy array. You don't really understand the magic of the fluid that flows into people's veins, the thrilling and mind-shifting magic of the mind...... I can teach you how to increase your prestige and brew glory. But one thing has to be, and that is that you're not the kind of stupid fools I often meet. ”

After his short opening remarks, the class fell silent. Linus and Joshua raised their eyebrows and exchanged glances. Lena almost moved to the edge of her chair and leaned forward, apparently eager to prove that she wasn't a fool.

"Mr. Donavan!" Julia suddenly said, "What do I get if I heat up redstone powder and burn it with cat lizard fat?" ”

What stones burn with cat lizard fat? Joshua glanced at Linus, who looked at Bron, who gave them a "I don't know what you're talking about" emote.

"I don't know, ma'am." Joshua said. "Perhaps, we can get a puddle of boogers?"

Julia Jeunese pursed her lips disdainfully.

"Tsk, tsk—it seems that fame doesn't mean everything, you're discrediting Michael's glory, perhaps, because of Vance's alchemy-devoid brain."

Julia deliberately ignored Lena's raised arm, which she knew would lead to Morkade oil, which was the raw material for explosive oil.

"Let's try again. Mr. Donavan, if I asked you to go and find me a piece of the Peach Fur Beast's Polar Colour Fur, where would you find it?" Lena tried to keep her hands high without leaving her seat, but Joshua only knew about the Peachfur Beast, and he didn't know where to find his polar colored fur. He tried not to look at Max Exkushin, Dominis, and Gibson, and the three of them trembled with laughter. "I don't know, ma'am, but I guess it must be something from the Peachfur Beast, right?"

"I suppose you didn't turn over a book before school started, did you, Mr. Donawan? In the ten years you've been in Elsa, you haven't left a single trace of your writings on magic on their pages, have you? ”

Joshua forced himself to stare directly into her cold eyes. He sensed that the woman was very hostile to him and Lena, who seemed to know their father and mother, but was clearly discrediting Lena Vance.

"Ma'am, I can't allow you to discredit my mother. Also, if you want to get answers, why don't you ask my sister Lena Donawan? Presumably she can give you a satisfactory answer. Joshua stood up and said angrily.

"Sit down," she yelled at Joshua, "let me tell you, Mr. Donawan, redstone powder will give you Morkade oil when heated and burned with lizard fat, and the Peach Fur Beast's polar colored hair grows on the male Peach Fur Beastmaster's forehead. Do you understand? Why don't you write it all down?"

Suddenly, there was a rustle of quill pens and parchment. In the midst of the cacophony, Julia said, "Mr. Donavan, because you have confronted the teacher, Zhamir will be deducted two points for this. As for you, Miss Donavan, you may think you can prove yourself to be a smart person, when in fact you are nothing more than a stupid clown. Miss Donavan damages the image of the college, and Falkenridge deducts one point! ”

Alchemy classes continued, but the situation of the students in Zammir did not improve, or rather, all the students of the academy were deliberately targeted except for the students of Tanganis.

Julia divided them into pairs and instructed them to mix the intermediate ingredients for a simple potion to cure scabies. Julia dragged his long black cloak around the classroom, watching them dry bat wings and smash snakes' fangs, and almost all of the students were criticized, except Max Exkushin, who seemed to be Julia's preferred student.

Just as she showed everyone how perfect Max's method of cooking the tentacled amoeba was, a sour, foul-smelling green smoke suddenly rose from the underground classroom, and a loud sizzling sound was heard.

Somehow, Leonard burned his crucible into a crooked piece, and the liquid in the pot mixed with various materials that had not melted was splashed on the stone floor, burning holes in his classmates' shoes. Within seconds, the class was standing on the stool, and when the pot was knocked over, Leonard was drenched in liquid, and his arms and legs were covered in red and swollen scabies, and he was screaming in pain.

"Idiot! Idiot! Hopelessly stupid! Julia roared, waving her wand and sweeping away the potion that had been spilled on the ground.

"I guess you put the pineapple in without taking the crucible off the fire, did you?" Leonard nodded and began to cry, and even a lot of scabies suddenly appeared on his nose.

"Send him to the hospital room above." Snape snapped at Joshua. Joshua was about to make a few words when Lena kicked him in the back.

"Don't mess around," she whispered, "do you still want to hurt your academy and get deducted points?" An hour later, they climbed down the stairs out of the basement classroom, Joshua's mind tumbling and feeling depressed. On the first day of school, Zanmir was deducted two points because of him, and he didn't know why Julia hated him so much. "Cheer up," Brune reassured Joshua, "don't let your low mood get in the way of the rest of the lesson, I don't think Miss Blista is a good talker." ”

"Nonsense, I didn't know it was a serious old lady."
