Chapter 510 - A Bunch Of Idiots
Pharmacists had a higher social status than mages. Although the pharmacists here were all low-level ones, they had been labeled as talents ever since a young age, and were also the successful pioneers of their generation. Hence, they were obviously proud and arrogant.
The biggest problem that they were facing now was their uncertainty about the situation and President Balbo’s stand. Although they’d been told to come here for training, none of them believed that it was true. Although they couldn’t think of any other possible reason, they still felt that they had been exiled.
That was precisely the reason for their anger and dissatisfaction. However, a small bit of their rationality was telling and reminding them not to get into a conflict with the young President who was related to President Balbo. Well, at least they were still members of the Guild of Magic, and if they were to anger President Balbo, they might just be chased out.
At this moment, the young pharmacists were all feeling extremely conflicted and more frustrated than they had ever been. They desperately wanted an outlet to vent their frustration, but they had no choice but to wait until Lin Li had left to gather together and curse him.
“Everyone, there’s no point in cursing our hearts out now. No matter what, let’s get down to business seriously. Maybe this is Teacher’s test for us,” Wilkinson said out of the blue, after which the sounds of gossip vanished.
As President Balbo’s proud disciple, Wilkinson was still their leader even though they were now in Lin Li’s territory. After hearing his words, everyone calmed down and gave it some thought, only to realize that his words did make some sense. Regardless of whether they had been exiled or not, they would still have to depend on Lin Li in order to return to the Pharmacist Guild.
They sighed and resigned themselves to fate, after which they turned to look at the formula written on the blackboard. There was pharmaceutical equipment on the tables in front of them, and beside them, there were medical shelves level with their waists which all contained medicinal herbs and materials. Everything that they needed had already been prepared, and the formula had also been written clearly on the board. Their job was fairly simple, and that was to mix the half-finished materials together to concoct the potion.
All of a sudden, they began to hear some noises, and Wilkinson and his peers quickly snapped back to reality. They turned around to see Lin Li stirring the contents of a glass bottle.
Everyone turned to look at Lin Li, who put down the glass rod, and calmly said, “I proposed this training plan to President Balbo with one principle, and that was to keep everything voluntary. However, it seems that you don’t want to stay here. It doesn’t matter to me: stay or go, just decide it yourselves. However, one thing’s certain, and that is that I don’t want to be blamed when I meet President Balbo again.”
