Vampire Summoner's Rebirth: Summoning The Vampire Queen At The Start

-----

Of course, it would be boring if I made them through [Instant Creation] so I better just help Alberta and Elfriedden make them, as they're the newbies. Eric's also a veteran at this point, so he'll help too.

"S-So how do I start this…"

"We add the water then the herbs? Should we crush the Medicinal Herbs first? Or separate the stems from the leaves?"

"S-Should we add the roots?"

​ Alberta and Elfriedden were very confused about the procedure.

"You have the Alchemist skill yet you can't do something so simple?" I asked.

"I got it after learning Alchemy Theory for years…" Said Elfriedden.

"Yeah, same, I never really practiced it…" Sighed Alberta.

"Sigh…"

"Aw, come on now Blake, don't be ruthless on them. Alberta, Elfriedden, let us help you. We've made potions for years now." Eric said.

"Yeah, follow our instructions and it'll come perfect." I said with a smile.

Alberta got happy, smiling cheerfully, and Elfriedden narrowed his eyes but then accepted.

"T-Thank you!"

"Hmph. Well, whatever."

Ataraxia looked at us from afar, she really had her eyes fixated on our group. She was a bit of a creep.

"For now, cut the Medicinal Herbs. Do not waste any part of it though." I said.

"Cut them? How?" Alberta wondered.

"In thin pieces, make a paste out of it." Eric said.

"A-Alright…" Alberta nodded.

"Huh, this feels like cooking rather than doing alchemy." Elfriedden said.

"Alchemy could be said to be like cooking, yeah." I sighed.

"Eh? I was joking, really?!" Elfriedden asked.

"More or less." Eric nodded.

"H-Huh…" Elfriedden seemed to have a different idea of Alchemy.

"What about the roots?" Alberta asked.

"Cut them into pieces too, but we'll add them later." I said with a nod.

"Alright…" Alberta nodded.

As they did like we told them to, I prepared the fresh water and then added it inside the Cauldron.

The cauldron quickly began to boil as I imbued my Mana into it, shiny rainbow bubbles appeared from within it.

"Now add the herb paste." Eric said.

Alberta and Elfriedden added it all.

"Now, use Synthesis together."

The two nodded once more, conjuring Synthesis at the same time.

"[Synthesis]!"

FLAAASH!

The herb and the waters mixed, creating a green colored liquid.

"Health Potion base get." I said with a smile.

"Eh? It already has healing properties…" Alberta used her Godsmith's Eyes to inspect the items status, kind of like Appraisal but limited to items only.

"It is not done yet." Eric said.

"But isn't this good enough?" Elfriedden asked.

"Is "good enough" what you're aiming for?" I asked him.

Elfriedden looked into my eyes.

"Of course not, I want excellency, I wouldn't settle for less." He smiled back.

"Good, then continue. Now, imbue your mana into the roots and add the Spirit Orb dust into a cup of water, mix it with the roots as well." I said.

"O-Okay!" Alberta nodded.

She and the elf did as I told them.

"Good, just like that. Slowly add your mana, the concentration will gain a reddish color." Eric nodded.

FLAAASH!

Suddenly, the liquid shone brightly.

"W-What just happened?!" Alberta asked.

"This is…? Health Potion Concentration?!" Elfriedden wondered.

"Now, add to the base we made previously the rest of the spirit orb dust and your mana, mix it with Synthesis, and lastly, add this concentration and do Synthesis again." I said.

"Yeah, that's all!" Eric nodded.

Alberta swallowed saliva, nodding nervously.

Elfriedden silently nodded.

The two worked together as they did as we told them.

Slowly and carefully, they mixed things twice, and then, the final product was over.

Time of preparation? Six minutes.

FLAAASH!

Several bottles were filled with a red blood liquid of rich, sweet smell.

"We're done." I said to the teacher.

"Ooho?! Already?" Ataraxia ran towards us using some strange boots with wings on them.

The other students were left perplexed.

"Wait, they finished already?!"

"Impossible…"

"They probably made some rushed stuff that tastes awful!"

"There's no way they can do it so quickly, we have barely just begun!"

The teacher inspected the twenty-five potion bottles we made, more than asked, with her bright green eyes.

"I-Impressive…" Ataraxia looked at the potions. "T-This is a Greater Health Potion?! A-And Unique Grade?! You made a Unique Grade item with these Normal Grade materials?!"

"You saw the entire process, didn't you?" I asked her with a smile.

"Well yes but this is… it's ridiculous…" Ataraxia was left shocked. "Well done… all of you are very talented! Class!"

Ataraxia called the entire class.

"We've already got the first ones to have finished! And not only that but they made a Unique Grade item! A Greater Health Potion! Everyone please clap!" Ataraxia began to clap, the other students gave us boorish looks.

"This must be wrong…"

"There's no way…"

"This is a joke…"

"There's no way this is possible…"

"And because of your great commitment, I've decided to award you with 100 scores to all four of you!" Said Ataraxia. "Yep, this was actually a test, teehee~!"

"EH?!"

The rest of the students freaked out, as they began to work rapidly into what they were doing, trying to imitate what we did to an extent too, although only a few managed to do it right, most were failing miserably.

"Teacher don't you think you're being a bit ruthless by making a test in the first day?" Asked Eric.

"Oh dear, don't be like this. This isn't a prestigious academy for nothing." Ataraxia said. "Those that cannot prepare for the challenges we'll throw at our students are free to leave~! But you four, well done! I am impressed and happy, you can go out if you want, or do some more alchemy to pass the time too."

"I actually want to practice some more to see if I can learn the Synthesis skill." Said Elfriedden.

"M-Me too!" Alberta added.

"Then how about you try making an Antidote Potion now?" Wondered Ataraxia, giving us the materials. "If you do it well I'll add extra potions to your next test!"
