Chapter 364: Retest (6)
There are only two students left in the audience who have not yet been tested, namely Heine among the guild apprentices and Ramsey among the academy students, both of whom are the best in their respective groups.
And it just so happens that the styles of the two are very similar, calm and restrained. It is like a flame hidden under the ice, calm and condensed on the surface, but there is always an abundance of energy stirring inside, ready to gush out at any time.
Heine came up first, and the guild apprentices behind him all held their breath, as if the leader of them had a crucial stake in how well they performed in the next test.
Actually, it's no wonder!
Through the performance of both sides just now, these apprentices also noticed that the academy students, who had been despised and ridiculed by themselves and others before, actually came to a counterattack gorgeously, and it was really like a powerful slap in the face that they couldn't find the north in public.
They may be arrogant but at least they have a good vision, although they were blinded by the previous written test results, but after this toss, anyone can feel the gap between the two sides, and this time the difference between the two sides is directly adjusted.
The most difficult thing to accept is that the gap is definitely not a star and a half, as professionals who have received systematic alchemy education since childhood, they naturally understand how important the skills and abilities of practical operation are, and how difficult it is to hone.
At the beginning, they found that there was a difference in the difficulty of facing the problem on both sides, and they were still happy that they were taken care of by their own people and were very excited, and they were deeply shocked when they appreciated the performance of the students of the academy when they were tested one by one.
They were also handpicked from the guild's thousands of apprentices, so no one would be naïve enough to talk about their previous test results.
So they feel very cowardly now, the self-proclaimed scholars who have always been superior creatures have instantly transformed into ordinary 'masses', this contrast is really unacceptable, so they need someone who can defend their honor for them, as long as they have been firmly occupying the highest point, they can keep their face and pride, and the conceit and meanness they showed before will not become a complete joke.
That's why they are like pawns waiting for their generals to fight in front of the two armies, pouring all their hearts into the back in front of them.
I don't know if he felt the solemnity of the atmosphere, Xiao Yi didn't directly throw out the question casually as before, although he had the ability to do so.
"Heine, I've read your previous answer sheet, and it's almost impeccable, so it looks like you should be the strongest of all the apprentices!"
Heine was noncommittal, but none of the onlookers thought he was arrogant, even those who didn't know would understand the truth when they saw his current calm and composedness, and would it be arrogant to admit a thing!
"You also know that this test is to test the skills and proficiency of actually operating alchemy, and I don't think it's enough to know all of your abilities based on the previous answer sheets, so can you tell me which aspect of alchemy you are best at?"
If it is an ordinary person who hears such a question, I am afraid to think about it, an examiner asks you what you are good at, probably to avoid this field to make questions, and from Xiao Yi's standpoint, this is absolutely very possible, but in other words, according to Xiao Yi's knowledge and level shown in the questions and comments, it is also possible that you want to double your self-confidence in the field you are best at, so whether to tell the truth has become a question that needs to be considered.
"Decomposition and transformation of potions!"
But Heine didn't seem to pay attention to this, and answered Xiao Yi directly and simply.
"Okay, what is the highest level of potion you can concoct?"
"Craftsman-level rare!" The answer is still crisp and accurate, and he also explains his true level very clearly, for example, the rare level of potions corresponds to the preparation level of a senior alchemist, but there are some of the more difficult formulas that can only be prepared by the master level, so Heine's answer is equivalent to completely dissecting his old bottom to Xiao Yi.
"The topic is like this, I need you to convert the 'Flame Power Elixir' into the 'Affinity Elixir' within a quarter of an hour, there is no limit to the number of transformations in the middle of the process, but no more than three transformants can be added to each operation, the transformants can be finished elixirs, if you are ready, you can start the operation directly!"
Xiao Yi's question can still be thrown directly without thinking, but the difficulty of the question this time has the meaning of directly approaching Link.
Asking so many questions is really to make things difficult, the jaw-dropping onlookers thought!
As the spiritual leader of the guild apprentices, Heine only paused for a moment as if he was sorting out his thoughts, and then he went straight to the operation, as the spiritual leader of the guild apprentices, he must be able to convince the public intellectually, but unlike the other apprentices just now, his performance in operation is not inferior to any of the academy students he has just demonstrated.
The skillful handling and dense arrangement of the utensils gave his movements an orderly beauty, as if what he was doing now was not taking a very important test, but as if he had rehearsed a demonstration thousands of times.
With the final steps completed, Heine placed a vial of azure potion in front of him, and less than half of the time had passed, and if it weren't for the very serious scene, the guild apprentices who had been waiting for it would have almost cheered.
Just now, there are indeed a few good performers who can complete the operation before the time limit, but if you consider the degree of advancement, Heine is so far deservedly the first, can you be familiar with such a problem, is there a more domineering performance than this!
As for whether the answer is correct? Joke! My classmates have never seen this pervert make a mistake in so many years, and the only remaining academy student, even if he is a top genius, under the pressure of Heine's excellent performance, can at best be a draw, and now the first place must belong to the guild's side!
And Heine seemed to be very satisfied with his operation at this time, and did not check and confirm it again, and said directly to Xiao Yi:
"My operation has been completed, please check and comment!"
Glancing at the other party's calm and confident gaze, Xiao Yi smiled slightly.
"Sure enough, you are worthy of being the chief of the guild representatives, your strength is really extraordinary, the skills and knowledge you have shown are far beyond your age and rank, of course, there is a fly in the ointment that there is a mistake in the result, but there is no doubt that you are already a very good alchemist!"
