I'm a ghost story witch in Tokyo

91 Chapter 91. Obsessed with potions
"Indeed, material costs are a problem."

Shimoda-sensei showed a distressed expression.

The families of the witches who signed up for the Olympic Games in the school have enough materials and funds for them. The funds that the school can apply for are limited and definitely not enough.

Participating in this competition will also have a certain impact on academic progress, and it is necessary to squeeze out extra time to delve into topics that are not related to the final exam, and work hard.

However, the qualification certificate of a junior alchemist is very tempting.

Witches with qualification certificates can immediately enjoy a 8.8% discount when purchasing alchemy materials, 8% discount for intermediate qualification certificates, and 7% discount for advanced qualification certificates, which is something to be happy about for witches who like alchemy.

"I didn't think carefully, I'm sorry. But... you are indeed the most talented student I have ever seen in this class. I mentioned it once when I was substituting for class A last time. There were very few students who were willing to participate, and they even I am willing to spend my time on getting into a prestigious overseas school.”

"So, I also want to spend my limited time on taking the university entrance examination. I will have to fill out the entry survey form next semester. My qualifications and grades are not as good as others, so I really have no spare time for additional projects."

Rui Ji politely declined Mr. Shimoda's proposal.

The career she will pursue in the future may not necessarily be related to alchemy, and no one can determine the route she will take in the future when she is in high school.Some witches wondered whether to go to Oxford Witch University or Cambridge Witch University when they were young, but when they grew up, they found that they couldn't get into either.

She has no ambition to go to a famous overseas university, and her goal is a university in Japan, preferably in Tokyo, not too far from home.Being too far away from home will prevent you from eating Jingliu's dishes, so you can only eat Mo De's soulful big pot meals in the school cafeteria, or go to the convenience store on the street to buy instant noodles.

That kind of thing must not be allowed to happen.

"Okay, then I won't embarrass you. Why does it feel like everyone is not interested in alchemy?"

Teacher Shimoda couldn't help sighing.

Of course it's because others don't have your money to buy materials, Rui Ji thought to himself.

"Maybe alchemy is too difficult to learn. It is the most difficult of many subjects and requires more energy than other subjects. In order to understand foreign alchemy works, witches have to spend time studying foreign languages, such as Egyptian Alchemy teaching materials, the official language of Egypt is Arabic, the difficulty of learning is second only to Chinese and Greek, and it has already defeated countless witches who want to get started."

"I proposed to the chairman of the board to offer Arabic courses, but it was rejected."

"Actually... English and Latin are enough. There are also Chinese classes in the school. Teacher, you should understand the contemporary teenagers. Everyone's learning ability is really not as good as you think."

The two casually chatted about alchemy for a while, and it was almost one o'clock.Schools in Japan have a short lunch break. Classes start at 01:30 in the afternoon, and classes end relatively early in the afternoon. Rui Ji only has half an hour left for lunch.

The two classes in the afternoon were Potions class and Flying class, and the two teachers were not enlightened enough to allow students to attend classes with super-difficult questions.

If you don't act quickly, the bento made by Jingliu will become a supper.

If you don't eat lunch, you will be reprimanded for not eating on time in the evening. Your younger sister is very good at teaching people, and Rui Ji doesn't want to listen to her chanting.

"Then, Shimoda-sensei, I'll take my leave first. Thank you for the black tea. I still have class in the afternoon, so I have to eat before the lunch break is over."

Before Mr. Shimoda continued to persuade her to participate in the Olympic Alchemy Competition, Rui Ji quickly slipped away and left this overly luxurious office.

Leaving the air-conditioned space, she was surrounded by the heat outside.The sweltering air licks the body, penetrates the skin, and turns the salt and moisture in the body into sweat and spills out.

She hurried to the floating platform on the third floor, rode the Australia Star broom parked there and flew back to the second grade school building, and bought three cans of Coke from the vending machine downstairs.

My wife and the official just sent a message, asking her to bring a drink by the way.

Lunch without Coke is equivalent to going to the beach without a swimsuit to watch witches, it's tasteless.Rui Ji is deeply obsessed with this kind of carbonated drink that has no nutritional value and will only aggravate his internal urgency, and he has to drink a few cans every day to get satisfied.

The witch doesn't need to worry about osteoporosis, she won't get fat if she drinks a ton of Coke a day, of course it's how she feels.

The official used magic to heat the bento made by Jingliu in advance, and the three people's table was put together to form a larger temporary table, which was very atmospheric for eating.

The two companions had already eaten two-thirds, and Rui Ji had just started.

"Have you been ordered to do anything excessive?"

My wife lowered her voice and moved closer to Rui Ji's ear.

"No, Mr. Shimoda invited me to drink a cup of Earl Gray tea, and then asked me if I would like to participate in the Olympic Alchemy Competition. My family has no money to buy alchemy materials, so of course I have to refuse."

"I thought there was something exciting about it."

"What do you want to happen?"

"Something that warms our cheeks and our minds."

"Eh...you are really my good friend."

After finishing lunch quickly, Rui Ji used the remaining 10 minutes to review the knowledge of Potions class, and then glanced at the new course content.Today I'm going to learn how to refine [Obsession Potion]. The efficacy of the potion can be understood literally, and it can make others feel obsessed with themselves.

Witches who can't find love but long for love will use this potion for the witches they like. Some witches who are tired of studying will take a sip before studying subjects they don't like in order to be admitted to university, and become interested in it for a period of time. Helpful in overcoming common exams.

Maybe you can give it a try when you encounter subjects that you don’t like in the future. Rui Ji is full of curiosity about the world, and is also very interested in the subjects taught in school, including alchemy, which everyone unanimously rated as a boring subject.

The Potions class was divided into two parts. The first 10 minutes was about theoretical knowledge, and the remaining 10 minutes formed a temporary cooperation group with other witches to refine a potion and hand it in as a class assignment.

A witch is a creature that likes to fight alone, but there are many times when it needs teamwork. Many things can't be done relying on the ability of a witch.

Rome wasn't built in a day, and it wasn't built with just one witch.Without thousands of witches who move bricks and dust, it is impossible to create a magnificent city-state standing between heaven and earth.

According to the number of people in the class, just 13 groups of 3 people can be formed.Rui Ji completes the homework with my wife and the official every time. The attitude of the two of them towards the Potions class is very correct. This class is very important, and no one dares not to take it seriously.

Rui Ji was assigned to count and take materials, and she also wrote the list of materials.

"The blood of the salamander, the volcanic lime, the sparkling water, the eyeballs of the merman, the wool of the black goat, the scales of the three-legged reptile... Are these things really drinkable?"

Raj is conflicted about the potion's finished product, especially when she sees the merman.
