While all the eyes of the students were focused on the two of them, Lloyd and Ralph had different thoughts.

As a gentleman from an aristocratic background, Ralph seems to have long gotten used to the feeling of being in the limelight, but for some reason he himself is so addicted to this feeling, and he enjoys it for a long time. Therefore, aspiring to become a respected and high-profile alchemist is in line with the interests of the family, but it is also the most anticipated choice in his heart, fortunately, his talent and the support of the family have not failed to live up to this ideal, his study and life in the academy has been smooth, and at the same time, as the focus of attention, he has always enjoyed it in his heart.

But since I was promoted to the intermediate class, it seems that everything has become a little different, first of all, I met a lot of classmates who also have extremely high talent and strong backgrounds, not to mention, the sense of superiority has suddenly become thin. And the most important thing is that he recognized an important thing that he had not cared about before, that is, his academic progress began to become very difficult, and this was also the first time he experienced the difficulty of becoming a high-level alchemist.

There is a very essential difference between the low level and the high level, the degree of difficulty increases with the increase of the level is indescribable, the characteristic of 'it is difficult to get started, and it is even more difficult to master' is a huge obstacle that all alchemists have to face and overcome, Ralph is naturally no exception, the aura of genius who was quickly promoted from the apprentice class to the intermediate class has become dull, and he must find other motivation to restore his confidence. So Lloyd, the 'old-timer' who had been in the intermediate class for many years, came into his sight, and the contrast between his ordinary family background and excellent grades did not surprise him in any way, but he ridiculed and despised it like other 'insightful' classmates in the class, if talent and conditions can really be made up for by hard work, then the world is really unjust in his eyes.

And Lloyd's performance similar to the dying struggle of a fish after leaving the water has become a source of laughter and consolidation of his own superiority after many people's tea and dinner, but Ralph has always hidden this emotion very well, at least on the surface! He was raised to show a gentleman and lady, humble and courteous aristocratic demeanor, and he even thought that his friendship and affection towards Lloyd on the surface reflected a noble feeling of compassion and fraternity, and he could enjoy the solitary appreciation of his inner world every day in addition to studying, how pleasant!

But all this completely changed after the new teacher appeared, first his profound knowledge and profound background stirred up the hypocritical peace in the class, and the ambition of becoming a master disciple made the competition unprecedentedly fierce, and then his own solicitation was rejected by a poor boy on the spot, making himself a laughing stock in the eyes of competitors, and completely made him lose his calmness in his heart, and he wanted to completely destroy his barren self-confidence and thin dignity, and then trample it under his feet and completely trample on it in order to relieve the hatred in his heart.

Let the result of the competition in front of you become the first trophy, Ralph, who carefully controlled the reaction of the liquid medicine in front of him, couldn't help but be very proud in his heart, and the several alchemists who were raised at home could be regarded as having played a role, and after roughly deducing Xiao Yi's intentions through this homework, he deliberately put a lot of effort into controlling the stability of the fusion reaction during the period before this class, and he was naturally prepared for such a test.

Hmph, this is the convenience brought by family background and financial resources, you are so poor that you will not be able to appreciate the beauty of it in your life! Ralph, who was laughing at the enemy in his heart, suddenly felt the liquid in front of him churning violently, so he hurriedly collected the liquid medicine that suppressed the tyranny, and after some dangerous control, Calf secretly said in his heart that he was lucky.

I really don't know the gap if I don't compare, this young teacher's means are really not comparable to those few pieces of material at home, this seemingly simple test is so difficult, imagine that if I can be lucky enough to become his disciple, my academic skills will improve by leaps and bounds, and the future promotion to alchemy master is just around the corner, and then the day when I reach the top, I am so excited that I shudder when I think about it.

And that poor acid who will only blindly endure hard will become the first stepping stone on the road to his success, so that when he is admired for his glorious deeds in the future, he will still be stained with a lot of light!

Speaking of which, this test is really difficult!The little change just now is almost unbearable.,And from the perceptual point of view, this temporary chaotic outbreak will only get stronger and stronger.,Maybe next time I save it, I won't come back.,It seems that the energy consumption to the whole reaction is still too reluctant.,But that's nothing.,Through this competition, everyone should have a new understanding of their own strength.,I, Ralph, is the best of all!

As for that poor sour, hehe, I guess it has already failed......

After observing the liquid medicine in front of him for a while to confirm that there would be no problem in a short period of time, Ralph had time to take a look at Lloyd's embarrassment, but he could no longer look away from it, just like the other students around him.

Mu Ne's expression seemed to shimmer with determination, because the large number of operations had been impregnated with reagents and materials, and the scorched hands looked rough, but the action of holding the reagent bottle and pouring it was unusually stable, only the trickle of silver silk threads occasionally reflected a little bit of luster to reveal the flow of time.

Looking at the reaction of the liquid medicine in front of him, the regular small churning on the plane seemed to have a unique beauty, and he did not feel any danger of a possible outbreak.

"This can't be!" If it weren't for the shock in his heart, Ralph almost blurted out this sentence, in fact, he was not the only one who had this idea, why a poor acid who could only barely support his studies could perform so prominently, it may not be surprising that a repeater who had not been able to make an inch for many years achieved good results in the exam, but it was a little too ridiculous to produce such an almost crushing gap in this kind of test that completely tested strength.

And at this moment, Lloyd didn't notice the changes in the people around him at all, since the test began, his mind was all on the operation in front of him, and he used all his mental strength to control the balance of the reaction of the liquid medicine, not that he could completely control the liquid medicine without any unexpected changes, but in the feeling of suffocation with a high degree of forced mental concentration, there was a hint of premonition, telling himself that the reaction in front of him would always be stable and safe, and the two contradictory emotions of tension and calm coexisted so harmoniously at this moment.

Carefully holding on until the last drop of reagent fell into the liquid of the reaction with a flash, and after waiting for a while to watch the churning amplitude on the liquid plane gradually weaken, Lloyd withdrew his hand, and the whole operation was completed here!
