In the second year, Ron and Princess Shirley, who had transferred to the gifted class, attended classes together.
It would be a lie to say you weren't embarrassed to be in Potions class with Bolton, someone you know.
Ron's mind was filled with question marks, and Bolton had clearly noticed Ron as well.
If it weren't for the fact that he was mindful of his image in front of the princess, Bolton would have even exchanged greetings with her.
Fortunately, in a formal setting, both sides were relatively restrained.
And isn't a small part of what Bolton talked about in Potions class just the theories Ron proposed?
His limited knowledge of different civilizations was understandable; after all, Ron wasn't a biology expert.
Seeing how attentively the second-year students listened to the lecture, Ron felt as if he were back in that time, with Bolton diligently taking notes in feather-like notes beside him...
At that time, Bolton confidently taught a group of genius nobles and commoner students.
Something feels... off. (ˊ?ˋ)
Fortunately, aside from this small part, Bolton also talked a lot about more in-depth knowledge about potions.
After the class, I finally learned something.
That's good too. We can listen to every class, then decide which ones are useful and which ones are mostly a waste of time, and then we can skip some classes when necessary.
Isn't university a place for self-study?
Ron is no ordinary little genius.
Princess Shirley was extremely attentive to the lessons given by Master Jon's disciple.
Considering Bolton's occasional arrogance, it's understandable.
The adult Bolton certainly had enough knowledge of potions to be a teacher.
However, Ron just couldn't bring himself to respect Bolton.
Time's up, get out of class is over.
As expected, Bolton moved closer to Ron.
He first bowed to the princess, saying, "Greetings, Your Highness."
“There’s no need for that within the academy!” Shirley said.
“Yes, Bolton understands.” Bolton then turned to Ron:
"Your mentor requests your presence. Ron, please follow me!"
Sure enough, Jon arrived too. He wondered why Jon was there. Curious, Ron followed Bolton.
Anyway, there's no real danger; at most, you'll just be listening to old Jon's long-winded speech.
Princess Sherry was different. Ron was just lucky. Back then, even Prince Berger could only arrange a meeting with Master Jon.
Master Jon never took the initiative to invite Brother Berger.
Princess Sherry has some interest in potions, which is one of the reasons she gets close to Ron, but Master Jon doesn't care much about the princess's thoughts.
What a lucky guy!
On the way, Ron thought, "When I meet Jon, I should try to change the subject. He seems to be quite interested in the elves."
It has long been a characteristic of Ron to avoid discussing potions when meeting Master Jon.
Ron sensed something was wrong after traveling with Bolton for a while.
At this point, the only person who had come with Ron was Vivian, who was accompanying him to school.
Noble privileges include a head maidservant accompanying the princess, who is quite capable, probably stronger than Penny...
"Vivian, if young master is not mistaken, this is where the deans are located! Isn't this a place that is generally off-limits?"
Vivian, who was more attentive to trivial matters, replied, "Yes, young master!"
Bolton pretended not to hear Ron and Vivian's hushed conversation.
It wasn't until I entered the residence of the Dean of the Potions Department that I recognized him so well. He was reading a book in the courtyard, dressed in the dean's clothes.
At that time, although Yuna and Ron had gone ahead, the opening ceremony was still some time away.
Jon had already won over the Dean of the Potions Department, and the Dean in charge was overjoyed.
When paying their respects to their elders, Ron and Vivian bowed, followed by, "Grandpa Jon, you've become the dean!"
"Yes! From now on, little Ron must obey his master, understand?"
Obeying your master? Is it really necessary? You just want to take him as your disciple, there's no need to go to such lengths.
Jon knew what Ron was thinking as soon as he saw him like that.
"Little guy, don't overthink it. You're just one of the reasons I came here. I heard that you took the final exam early even though you just enrolled... Kid, you have good talent in magic and martial arts, but you can't neglect potion studies."
"Yes, I will keep it in mind. But, could it be that the old man has long had the idea of coming here to teach?"
"Indeed, I've accumulated enough knowledge and want to find a quiet place to study it in depth. Toby Magic and Martial Arts Academy has pretty good facilities."
During the conversation, Jon frankly discussed the treatment of the Dean of the Potions Department.
He only needs to teach at least three times a year; the class hours are up to Jon to arrange!
A true master is a name that speaks for itself!
It is enough to attract countless students with aspirations to come here.
Legends are rare to find in this world. Masters like old Jon are a rare treat to meet, while someone like Ron is someone you'd want to smash with a brick!
Ron was very interested in the whole potions science, but he wasn't determined to study it in depth. Old Jon's usual attempts to persuade him were to no avail, so he talked to Ron about the theory of potions.
Naturally, Ron also took the opportunity to talk to him about the elves.
In ancient times, the Elf race ruled the continent of Oran, but now, the continent of Oran is dominated by humans, with a hundred races governing together.
The elves possess elven magic, which is comparable only to dragon magic. However, as magical civilization develops, Ron believes that the magic invented by humans will be just as good.
Elves have a homebody nature, and Jon talked a lot about elven art, especially elven potions.
Ron is more interested in the elemental sprites, natural garden magicians, who are incredibly useful for promoting the growth of rice, magical plants, and more.
Unfortunately, all the elemental sprites are currently in the Sprite Forest.
...
They talked for a long time.
Ron finally left.
Knowing that Jon was there, and having appreciated Ron's initial performance, Jon also focused on studying potions.
Ron went back.
Go at noon and return in the evening.
We ate quickly.
Ron thought for a moment and called Vivian over.
I'm going out now.
I really want to meet the legendary elves. (☆▽☆)
With that in mind, the easygoing Ron had Wright lead him to the Magic Bow Guild.
Each elemental profession typically has a guild in a major first-tier city.
Elves are skilled archers, so the Magic Archer Guild must have some elves among its members.
Fortunately, Wright was very familiar with everything in Toby City from his time as an adventurer.
After walking for a while, we finally arrived at the entrance of the Magic Bow Guild.
It's getting late, so it's best to go in early to avoid missing the opening.
Wright's Adventure Token is like a pass; adventurers can also go to the Magic Bow Guild to receive quests.
It is rare for someone to bring two aristocratic children.
Upon entering, I was not disappointed; I truly saw the elves.
Are elves really like this?
It has to be said that they truly deserve the title of nature's darlings. Elves are worthy of the word "beautiful," and can even be considered perfect.
No wonder only the strongest can leave the Elf Forest as adventurers.
Ahead, an elf, a woman, seemed to be looking at the quest wall. Ron unconsciously moved closer.
