It has been about a week since mom decided we were going to move to grandpas and well it was extremely boring around here, the best we got was the noble coming to try to make us fail and punish us for making a fool of him. Also the pig from before came to our shop demanding I was taken and given to a proper family that would give me a better education, for disrespecting my mom though he got a face full of paralyzing poison. What I heard from people around town the pig hasn’t been able to move yet after several days which made me snicker at but I got scolded by mom for it so it wasn’t really worth it. On another note my father has been trying to take a look at my blueprints every time he sees me working on them which are really annoying to say the least but in the end he is just trying to help. As I was studying in the corner about the port town crystal Grandpa Chu came in with a middle aged woman dressed in nice clothes and had a air of confidence around her.
“Hello Mr. Chu how may I help you today?” (Mom)
“I am just coming to see if Ace has his potion ready for me, also I brought my apprentice so those two can talk a little and learn from each other.” (Grandpa Chu)
“Oh he hasn’t made anything since he said if he was going to make something for someone they had to be present in the room.” (Mom)
“Mom that’s not fair and you know it, besides I am only making us potions and pills because you asked me too.” (Me)
“I know honey and I am grateful however I still don’t get why you want people watching your work.” (Mom)
“If I don’t and do too much I will be in trouble until someone finds me.” (Me)
“Oh ya sorry honey I forgot but you seem to be able to control your power a little bit more.” (Mom)
“Oh is that so well anyway let’s get down to business, I came to ask for a intelligence potion.” (Grandpa Chu)
“Oh okay but how powerful do you want it?” (Me)
“About the average of your potions.” (Grandpa Chu)
He gave a smile which made him look like a old fox, I sighed at his act then started the process with moon shade, elder tyrants bones, and finally a apple and cinnamon to make it test better. After it was processed into a yellow potion I inspected it.

High Grade Intelligence potionthis potion will enhance one's intelligence by two and will
last for two days, also if a creature of lesser intelligence drinks
it, it will become as intelligent as a human
“Okay it’s done however you shouldn’t let anything other than humans drink it.” (Me)
“Why is that?” (Chu’s assistant)
“If a creature drinks this it will gain the intelligence of a human, what do you think would happen if a predator that likes human flesh would do if it was as smart as us?” (Me)
“That actually sounds interesting when you think about it.” (Grandpa Chu)
“If you are going to give the potion to creatures then i will just make something that is not going to cause problems.” (Me)
“Okay I promise not to give it to an animal.” (Grandpa Chu)
“Oh before you go we are leaving tomorrow around noon.” (Mom)
“Thank you for the heads up.” (Grandpa Chu)
They left and we continued to pack up anything we needed, mom had a smile on her face the entire time we were packing. I don’t know anything about my mom’s side but if they hurt her they will have hell to pay that is for sure.
Chu’s POV
“So what do you think of the boy?” (Me)
“He is just a brat with a special power that would make anyone great.” (Assistant)
“Rose I am not interested in his ability in the slightest it is his intelligence that peeks my interest.” (Me)
“I admit he is intelligent for his age but still, why are you going through so much for a commoner?” (Rose)
“Did you know he shattered the crystal ball the measures qi along with having more than ten different types of qi, also he is the one that made those dragon blood pills that not even saint level cultivators can withstand.” (Me)
“That’s all thanks to his ability if I had it I would…” (Rose)
“You would misuse it and be a puppet of your own greed like all the rest, that boy each step he takes is to take care of his family and will do anything to keep them safe!” (Me)
Rose looked stunned but didn’t say anything else as we walked. It was already noon when we got to the guild and we were met with Mike talking to the kids about the magical beasts he has slain. Such barbaric tales are not for me though and he doesn’t tell them that it was me that saved him when he was torn to shreds by the beast.
“Hey Mike I got something for you to try and it’s from your favorite alchemist.” (Me)
“Oh okay, hey kids I will be right back why don’t you go bug the old man in the other room he just bought chocolate from the bakers today.” (Mike)
“God mike you’re a dick, why can’t you teach your elders with respect?” (Me)
“It’s because he pawned the kids off on me yesterday, so what do you have for me today?” (Mike)
“It’s an intelligence potion I was wondering how smart a normal person would be when drinking this so here give it a go.” (Me)
Mike looked offended by my remark but downed the potion without even thinking about it, he said that it tasted like apples and cinnamon which was an improvement to other intelligence potions. The next hour or two we listened to Mike going on and on about battle strategy that was like a first class strategist, I guess the potion works but the type of knowledge gained by the potion depends on the person beforehand. I hope no one that’s dangerous gets this potion it would really be a disaster.
