Academy Dropout Is Too Strong

36. prepare for the future

It’s been five days since I crossed the wall of transcendence.

To be precise, when I came to my senses, the weekend had already disappeared, and I was about to face it again.

On the way I had to move forward, I was distracted by martial arts and didn’t even notice the time passing.

Trance.

Happy to see the body of a superman that he has recovered after a long time, he stretches out each extremity of his limbs in the air.

While using Taegeukgong, he gently danced to cut through the sky, and with Fighting Qigong, he turned wild energy all over his body and trampled on everything around him.

Sometimes judiciously, sometimes uncompromisingly.

Somewhere along the middle line, I’ve been immersed in the last five days and decorated it harmoniously.

There is no perfect perfection for me, so I dismantled Chosik and Gugyeol arbitrarily and modified them to my liking.

Decisive destructive power that was lacking in Taegeukgong and Taegeukmu. Tenderness and calmness not found in Tushin Qigong.

A few days went by like a lightning bolt, coordinated to fill each other’s shortcomings.

Although about half of the rest period was blown away, I have no regrets because I have gained the impetus to move forward and corrected the direction of nothingness.

But that wasn’t a reason to rest.

There was so much to prepare for what was about to happen.

“Where are you planning to use these crude things?”

Even though Cheon Yu Ha expressed his doubts, he handed over all of the Hasuo obtained from the Devil’s Land to me without hesitation.

I answered with a sly tone as I stuffed them into my backpack one by one.

“There is, a groundbreaking invention that will become popular in the future.”

“These?”

“okay. I’ll be the first to give you a present when it’s finished later, so look forward to it.”

“Oh, that sounds nice to hear.”

Seeing Chun Yu-ha smile while saying that, I made up my mind again.

Soon, he put a full backpack on his back and punched her.

“Wait a little, I’ll go somewhere, so let’s have a proper fight in the evening.”

“… … !”

He made a surprised expression at the moment of heavenly love, but soon realized the meaning and smiled.

She responded to my request for a confrontation with a happy expression and voice as if the corners of her lips touched the bottom of her ears.

“… … Yes, I see! Today, you only say things that are really nice to hear.”

What a nasty sign.

Cheon Yu-ha, the young master of the Heavenly Demon Church, raised his fists while chanting in a low voice.

soon came into contact.

***

After breaking up with Chun Yu-ha, I moved to the general store street within the combat unit campus.

It was to prepare a special potion in preparation for a disaster that would soon happen at a school event.

Since it is an item that requires a magical process, it is common to go to the shaman’s ward to request it.

However, something happened just a while ago, and there is a gemstone nearby, but I have no choice but to pick it up.

so i came here

A potion manufacturing workshop that later became widely known throughout the world, ‘Ellie’s General Store’.

Currently, it is a very small place, not comparable to the brilliance of Hestia’s workshop, but in the future, it was planned to become a huge workshop of an overwhelming scale.

However, after reaching the present address of that promising workshop, I belatedly hesitated.

I knew it would take a couple of years for this place to start becoming famous, but even taking that into consideration, it was a bit like that.

“It’s filthy shabby.”

The completely rusted signboard that reads ‘Ellie’s General Store’ and the damp wooden gate and exterior walls create a wonderful harmony in a bad way.

How to say, it seemed like a lung that would soon collapse beyond simply ruining the store.

For some reason, when I open the door, it feels like the inside will be worse than the Whitewings’ elixir warehouse.

… … Should I go back now

After thinking about it for a moment, I gathered my mind and opened the store. Yeah, if you don’t think it’s going to work, you can just drop out right away.

Kiki—When I opened the door and entered, I could see the inside of the shop that was surprisingly tidy.

Even so, it was not as dusty as the warehouses of the White Wings, even though it was a workshop that emphasized hygiene.

However, it was more like a witch’s workshop than a general store that sells various items.

Flasks and test tubes filled one wall of the general store, starting with various items and potions displayed on the counters—a variety of medicines from east to west, such as potions and pills.

Creatures such as bats and centipedes hanging from the ceiling in real time.

There was also a boiling pot in front of the brazier, giving off a strange smell.

It was something so openly and geeky that I rather believed it.

‘This house must be a restaurant.’

Craftsmen do not choose tools. Even though the interior is such a mess, how well can you make potions if you’re famous?

Having only eaten the mass-produced products of the franchise that came out later, I approached with a little pounding heart and pressed the bell on the counter.

Tring-!

After a while, there was a knocking sound coming from inside.

─Aww!

There was also a scream that sounded like a frog being trampled to death.

Not too long after that, there was another kick! A loud dripping sound was heard.

… … What the hell is going on inside the studio?

A few minutes of waiting with curiosity and anxiety.

Gicheok, who had been lying on the floor as if dead, jumped up and opened the door with a gasp as if he hadn’t taken the time.

then you will shout

“——So, customer! Are you here!”

“… … uh, over there.”

“yes! yes This is Ellie’s general store that makes anything! What business are you!”

The blond alchemist, who was not as tidy as the shop’s exterior, exclaimed bravely while panting.

Even while blood was dripping from one side of his forehead.

Considering the excellent hospitality and physical condition of an ordinary alchemist, he might die soon.

“… … Do you apply medicine first?”

It was a specification to be a witness in a death case.

***

“Whoa!”

The alchemist, who gave me first aid by spraying a potion on my head, looked at me for the first time after tidying up my disheveled hair. Clenching her fists, she shouted again.

“This is Ellie’s general store that makes anything! What business are you!”

He is an alchemist with more fighting spirit than you think. If only the exterior of the store had been decorated, there would have been a lot more customers.

‘Well, thanks to this, I can preoccupy it, so it’s fine.’

Thinking so, I took out the sewers from my backpack and lined them up on the counter.

Each of them has 9 tens of years, 10 hundred years, and 1 thousand years, totaling twenty.

It was an ingredient for a potion to be ordered soon, and an elixir brought directly to reduce production costs.

In addition to these, there will be various ingredients in the process of making the potion, but it didn’t matter.

Because the budget was sufficient.

‘Thank you to a teacher who is as merciful as hahahahae.’

I meditated in silence on Master’s bank account, which was gradually emptying, and recited the order.

“Anti-magic potion. It doesn’t matter what the shape is, so I’d like you to make a drug that resists demonic energy.”

“… … Margie?”

“Yes, that demonic energy emitted by demons and devils.”

I wasn’t talking about the artificial demonic world of Seondo. A demonic realm that exists on earth.

It was a story about a dark area created by the explosion of a super-large dungeon and the demons living in it.

It’s been quiet for a while, so people don’t pay attention to the dark area, but they start moving unexpectedly.

Contrary to the characteristics known for recklessly rampaging like beasts, they continued their massive invasion with a systematic organization.

Starting with Seondo, which is said to be the cradle of heroes, the demons were planning to carry out terrorism all over the world.

The Anti-Magic Potion is a countermeasure to reduce the damage as much as possible.

Also, it was a kind of investment.

I finished reciting the order.

“The proper amount of other ingredients per 100g of sewage is 20g of Akane grass, 5g of mana stone powder, 33g of pure blood extracted from the heart of a troll, and one mandrake root… … up to 100 mL of holy water. It is roughly composed like this.”

Alchemist Ellie, who had heard all the ingredients for the potion with a bewildered expression, suddenly asked.

“… … Uh, so you’re making a potion that resists Magi, a new product that doesn’t exist in the world right now?”

“Exactly.”

“Are you talking about the ingredients?”

“Yes, it is.”

“Then what about the specific manufacturing process?”

To the eyes of the alchemist who were genuinely questioning, I gave a natural answer.

“Should we find out about that now?”

“… … .”

“There is a saying that being a leader is difficult, and failure is the mother of success, right? The materials and cost will be provided by us, so let’s study here and there together, right? Oh, by the way, it must be completed within 15 days.”

“… … No, that makes sense-!”

Alchemist Ellie stood still with a grotesque expression on her face as if she had witnessed a madman, then sighed and opened her mouth.

“… … Full moon, yes. Even if I studied hard and did it, what would I gain?”

Yes, it seems that the guest is the king and has a mind to entertain again.

On the other hand, customers using general stores were required to provide expenses.

I wrote the cost on a piece of paper and presented it.

The alchemist, who confirmed that, paused for a moment as if a petrification spell had been cast, and muttered.

“No, f*ck. How many zeros are there?”

After counting the number of zeros for a while, she immediately raised her head and held out her hand.

“Customers, let’s do our best.”

“Okay, let’s do our best.”

Holding the alchemist’s thin hand tightly, I thought to myself.

‘Master, I love you.’

Having a lot of money on hand is a good thing.

***

After explaining to Ellie the approximate efficacy and appearance of the finished potion, she left the store.

Anyway, a few years from now, it was Ellie herself who developed the Anti-Magic Potion on her own.

This time, since we start knowing the ingredients that make up the potion in advance, wouldn’t it be possible to lightly advance the development period by a few years?

‘Still, the 15 days was a bit harsh.’

If that didn’t work, I just had to come up with another countermeasure.

I had to somehow prevent a large bomb from falling on a festival we all enjoyed together.

“Yeah, we have to stop everything.”

The upcoming terrorism, being expelled after one semester, the death of Master, and the great war ten years from now.

I was thinking of shutting it all down.

Originally, I didn’t believe in a mission, but since I was given another chance, it was something I had to do.

‘Still, since it’s a transcendental climax, is expelling it safe?’

Not bad.

No, it was even smoother.

Only two of the highest quality items obtained in just a few months, and he ate the elixir like no other.

It seems like it was only yesterday that he was struggling without using the technique a few times, but he is already at the peak.

In fact, it was above that.

Now was the time to tell your best friend about it.

“Hey, are you finally here? I thought I was dying from waiting.”

When I entered the secret room that I had rented in advance, there was an unmanned person who had finished all the preparations, from the outfit to the momentum.

Cheon Yu-ha, the minor leader of the Heavenly Demon Church.

A personality that is extremely challenging and not afraid of humiliating defeat.

invincible invincibility.

Blood red hair.

Even the fighting tendency that prioritizes defeating the opponent first rather than taking care of oneself.

Some people called it Gwangcheonma (狂天魔) because of such an appearance.

However, that is a story of the future.

What was in front of me right now was just a patient with an obsession with sparring, looking forward to a fight.

“Kangjun, come here.”

Cheon Yu-ha said with a smile of goodwill. That’s what I mean by wagging my fingers.

As a senior who experienced world affairs first, I responded with a very generous heart.

“I’ll give you three seconds of food.”

So don’t be silly and come on.
