Back to the alchemy lab I started doing some health and mana potions for now they were the think I came for in the first place.

-Can I help?

Deo asked I didn’t have any use for her she was just kind a here with me the whole time but still she keeps company at least so why not.

-Here take these weeds and start grinding them into powder tell me after you finish okay?

-no problem I can do this it’s easy

I hope she is right…After 5 minutes I realized I was wrong.

- (sound of hard stuff falling down)

Deo had tried to grind the weed but ended up making the grinder fall to the ground many people looked this way to see what happened I just sighed

-ehmm…

Deo looked at me embarrassed trying to avoid my eyes or the glances of the others

- (sigh) listen deo do you really want to help

-yes I do!

I looked hard at her eyes to see if she was lying to me the only think I could see was determination thou

- (sigh)

Lately I have been sighing a lot maybe because I have been too long with kids then my actual age I ones again looked back at her she was technically 2 years older than me so why was she whimpering or was it just me ?

-give me your hands

I said deo stretched her hands out to me while she was looking down not to meet my eyes I took one of her hand and placed the grinder back at the table ms.abbigale didn’t seem bothered by the loud sound of the grinder falling down so I thanked her in my mind and started instructing deo on what to do.

-Look...

I said I stood behind deo both hands on her hands holding the wheel like tool for the grinder to instruct her she shivered for a moment but didn’t look back and said.

-ahaa..

I looked over her shoulders for being 10 years old she was pretty short she was the exact same size as me.

-look you roll wheel up and down and let it roll over the weed it won’t pulverize immediately it will need time if you press the handles too hard down it won’t move as fast and the probability the grinder will fall down will increase do it lightly but fast like this see…

I couldn’t see if she really understood she didn’t say anything because she was facing me with her back I only felt her hands for some reason getting hotter the longer I was standing beside her.

-Hello are you listening deo ?

-ehh !? ehm yeah thanks damon I can do it now light and fast understood !

I had the feeling she didn’t understand anything but I wasn’t someone who judged just by seeing their first time so I let it slide.

Stayed there for 4 hours deo seemed to get the hang of it and was doing it spontaneously but what bothered me was that for these 4 hours she didn’t face me for some reason and just gave me vague answer like a yes or no I wanted to ask her but I was concentrating on my work I was cooking and cutting some of the ingredients and also cutting all the useless bits from the weeds so deo could grind them after 4 hours both of us finished and we started doing the potions.

-Looks like you’re doing really good as I see

Ms.Abbigale came and gave us a look I gave her a nod and continued doing my think she was looking and gave me some advice on what to do or how to make the potion better with the herbs that I had after another 2 hours I finally finished making my first potion.

-now let’s see how it is…Identify

Normal Healing PotionSkill Info:

Enjoying this book? Seek out the original to ensure the author gets credit.

-heh ? you know the identification skill ?

Ms.Abbigale was watching me the whole time I did the potion and helped me greatly making tier 2 potions with my ingredients she seemed surprised that I knew the identification she normally the skill can be only learned by an advanced craft men or by a skill book.

I learned it from my blacksmith master I was ones an apprentice to him.

-In your age? How come he gave you the skill?

I didn’t like how she asked me those questions but she helped me so I may as well.

-I had a deal with the blacksmith’s daughter that if I forge a better sword then her I would get the apprentice ship and learn the skill I managed to win

-hoh..Then why are you doing alchemy if you are a blacksmith and why would you being here?

-I wanted more knowledge blacksmithing alone is not enough I adept enough in it I wanted to try my hands in other trades such as these.

-I must admit you are a fast learn it takes normally 3 weeks for a student to learn to make a lesser healing potion you just made a normal tier 2 healing potion in a couple of hours.

Really?! is she just kidding me or just trying to make me proud of myself I was not sure I remembered every single think from a book how low to make the flame when to insert the powder and how to brew it in the end but still 3 weeks for a lesser healing potion ?!

I looked at her for a moment she was smiling at me I got back to work deo seemed really energetic knowing that I made a really good potion in just couple of hours so she got excited and continued doing her grinding.

-haha

I laughed she seemed really fun but I knew she didn’t do it for me but for my trust she had determination to make me trust her nothing else she wanted into the group she had a reason for it.

I shifted my mind from deo and started doing the potions again 1 hour later.

Normal Mana PotionSkill Info:

Restores mana and increase mana regeneration

-Finally finished !

I let out a yawn of accomplishment deo was really tired for over 5 hours doing nothing but grind she is tough to put up with it.

-ahh my hands are sore….

She was tired I placed a bottle of water onto the table.

-heh? Where did you get this?

-I had it on me

-what really?!

She started to open the bottle and drank the content so fast you would not even see her gulp the second time. I pulled the water bottles from the void while she was not looking I had massive amount of food and water stored inside the void the food cant rot in the void so it always seemed fresh right out of the market my ability sure convenient.

I placed another 10 red flask and 10 blue flasks on the table.

-huh aren’t these?...

-they are yours it’s a present for you joining my group

-thanks the potions are……huh? Joining your group? I JOINED!

-yeah yeah I going to go home now you should better go home as well

-yeah thank you!

I started walking out of the room and stopped at the door and looked back at deo she was happily raising he hands while holding the normal potions and making stranger sounds.

-I may regret this…

I muttered but still she was in my group for a reason if she doesn’t want to say it that’s fine too

I smiled looking at her and left going to my dorm room albi was waiting outside with her human form

She didn’t look good.
