At night in the fortress, lights were on in every room, and through the curtains and windows, they were reflected on the clear lake. Occasionally, a few students walked through the corridor, and bursts of laughter were heard, and the lights reflected on the lake swayed with them.

In Loran Hill's dormitory, inside the laboratory.

A gem lamp extended from the wall, and white light illuminated the room. Although it was not as bright as during the day, it was suitable for writing, reading, doing experiments, etc.

Compared to the candle lights used by ordinary people, extraordinary people can use magic to easily charge the gem lamp and then light it up. When not in use, they can cover it with a lampshade and let it slowly go out, saving a lot of trouble.

The small stove originally used to heat the experimental equipment was moved by Loran Hill to a wooden table next to it. Next to it were several white porcelain plates with ingredients on them, including chopped mushrooms, vegetables, potato chips, etc., as well as two cleaned small fish, which the girl had caught when she came back.

"Kati, light the fire, pay attention to the temperature, and try to keep it as low as possible." The silver-haired girl ordered. After all, they were in the dormitory, so she didn't have to maintain the image of Roland all the time.

"Okay." Katie was eager to try it.

The crimson flames moved like little snakes through the charcoal, warming it and turning it red before gradually dissipating.

Luo Lanxier watched the charcoal burn before putting the small iron pot on top to heat the red oil soup base inside. She didn't dare put it on right away. What if Keti lost control and burned through the pot? Then she would have to eat grilled mushrooms tonight.

After a while, the soup was boiling, and heat and fragrance came out. Then Loran Hill put the ingredients in. The colorful mushrooms were matched with yellow potatoes and green vegetables. The whole pot was colorful and looked very beautiful.

"Just like that, let it cook for a while and eat it when it's cooked. Got it, Katie?"

"No problem, Loran~" The witch stared at the rolling piece of food and agreed with a bit of greed.

Seeing how obedient Katie was, Loran Hill felt relieved. He turned around and wrote something on another table. For the time being, the only sounds in the small room could be heard: the gurgling sound of the hot pot and the occasional rustling sound of a pen scratching across paper.

Loran Hill is preparing to participate in the college's "Rainbow Bottle" competition, which is a competition for the development of new potions, so he has been reading books and looking for relevant information these two days.

The competition requires participants to pass two preliminary rounds before the final competition, where they must create their own newly developed potions. A novel potion must not share more than 30% similarity in materials or process with existing potions. This competition is intended to encourage and reward students who excel in developing extraordinary potions.

The reason for participating was naturally for the competition's rewards. Although Loran Hill had crafted the [Golden Moon Potion] for herself during the holiday, at her current rate, it would take until next year to advance to Sequence 5. This timeframe was a bit long, so she wanted to speed up her progress. Taking some extraordinary potions with superior effects was the best option.

[Golden Moon Potion] has been used and is not very effective when taken again, so she wants to make a new potion, and the materials become the key at this time. Firstly, she doesn't want to owe anyone a favor, and secondly, she also wants to participate in the activities on campus and experience it, so she signed up.

On the light yellow paper, the feather pen quickly drew graceful tracks, leaving behind various black and clear formulas. Loran Hill was also silently calculating some weights and changes in his mind. After entering a state of concentration and seriousness, time seemed to pass very quickly.

"Loran, the mushrooms are ready." Katie's reminder came from the side.

"Well, okay, wait a moment." Loran Hill quickly wrote the last few steps. The sound of boiling water in the hot pot gradually became louder, and waves of the unique aroma of mushrooms filled the room.

Okay, let's stop here for today. Luo Lanxier put down his pen and walked to the hot pot. Keti couldn't wait to pick up the spoon.

Loran Hill first picked up a piece of mushroom cooked into dark red and put it in his mouth. He felt a smooth and hot sensation, and then the juice overflowed, and the delicious taste of the mushroom filled his mouth.

It seems quite good, and not particularly poisonous. Loran Hill nodded to Keti, who quickly scooped a spoonful into her own bowl, then slowly savored it with her chopsticks. It must be said that Keti's eating manners were quite good, as if her movements had been memorized long ago. If one didn't know better, one might mistake her for a young lady from a prominent family.

"The mushrooms are delicious." Katie exclaimed softly.

"Uh-huh."

In the warm dormitory room, the two girls enjoyed their dinner quietly.

-----------------------------

Somewhere on the rooftop of the Walled City Academy, several tables of varying sizes were set up, and a group of people were dining together. Most of them wore black and red uniforms and were students studying the Devil Path, with only a few from the Natural Path, many of whom were also children of the nobility.

"A toast to the beautiful Miss Osuna. I wish you a successful start." A handsome boy said while holding up a glass of wine. On his shoulders and chest hung exquisite pocket watches and gold chains like rice ears.

"Thank you for your compliments and congratulations, Senior Anil." Osuna seemed to have had her hair done. Now her long purple hair was in big waves with a little spiral at the ends, draped over her shoulders. There were also two purple tearstone pendants under her ears, reflecting the light in the night.

"congratulate......"

Then other people also began to congratulate, most of them were sophomores, and a small number were seniors, about 40 people in total. This was already a lot, considering that there were only about 700 demon sequence students in the entire City Walled City Academy.
