Chapter 3497 Difficult I continued with the even breaths as I controlled the seventeen solutions in front of me, all of them going through the different processes. Nine are on the ground, eight in the air. Some are boiling, others are getting frozen. There are a few, which are getting cooked under a certain type of radiation and energy, while others are being pressured in the vacuum. I am maintaining all of them at the same time and if I make the slightest mistake; it will go into the vein. The solution is almei's strengthening. It is a strengthening solution for the stone skin race, human could also use it, but its efficacy on us is a little lower. It is the hardest alchemical solutions I had ever tried crafting, and it would be challenging to succeed in it. This time, I was not in a place that I could control aspect of it or clone, I could call to help, who could understand everything I wanted to do. I am on my own. "Fuck!" I heard someone cursing behind me, but I didn't focus on them; I focused on my work. I am in a huge hall, where thirty-eight alchemists like myself trying to craft this solution. Many have failed, but many are continuing, and some are already looking like they will succeed. It is a class with a Grade 6 alchemist teaching us. She had already shown us, how this solution is crafted and explained every part of it and now we are crafting it. Usually, I don't know my real abilities and I have even started to hold back on my healing once again, but I am forced to with the alchemy when I see how fast I am improving in artifice. Thanks to the imparting, I had left behind alchemy and made fast progress in artifice. I am still a Grade 5, and I will need time to reach Grade 6, even with the impartation. The progress in alchemy will be even slower. So, I have to give my all in the alchemy and show my real progress; it is the only way I can improve. It is why, I had temporarily isolated the alchemy clone. It had started with a solution same time as me and I don't know what its progress is but seeing the time dilation; it must have finished already. As for whether it had succeeded or not; I chose not to think about it. Finally, the last solution was ready, and now, it is time for the most difficult process. I took a deep breath, and three thumb-nail-sized blobs came out from three different solutions. The one coming from the vacuumed solution wanted to explode violently as it came, but I controlled it and placed all three above the formation I had created with my energy. Buzz! 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢 The formation activated, and it began to spin, slowly merging with the solution, while I suppressed hundreds of exploding reactions that wanted to happen. Finally, all three blobs merged perfectly and turned into a perfect yellow blob. Seeing that, a smile couldn't help but appear on my face, but I was far from finished. Another two blobs of solution came out of two solutions and another ring of formation formed around the old one. This ring is a blazing red and contains powerful fiery energies. Buzz! The two blobs entered the second ring, and it activated. Like the formation under it, did earlier, it had started to spin, merging the two solutions and when they merged. The first formation ring begins to spin again, as it absorbs the merged solution and mixes it into the solution of three blobs. Minutes passed as I continued with step after step. The solution started to empty, till there was a tiny portion left within those seven solutions, while a ring formation formed in front of me. In the center is a big multicolored blob. Buzz! 'Now the last,' I said and activated the whole twelve rings formation and it began to spin. The blob within began to react violently, but this time, I didn't suppress it. I have done everything I could and now whether I could succeed or not will depend on the steps I have taken till now. Seconds passed, and it became more and more violent, while its color changed rapidly. About one and a half minutes later, it had started to calm down. Nine seconds after that, it had completely stabilized, and formation deactivated on its own, with a perfect cream-colored globe in front of me. "Well done, Zor," said a stone-skin middled-aged woman. "Thank you for your instructions, Alchemist Hakyns," I replied and bowed faintly. I put the solution in the bottle, but didn't leave immediately and instead, stayed forty-five more, till everyone finished. "All of you did well, and those who failed, don't get discouraged. The failure is normal," "Learn from it and you will succeed," he said, before discussing and reviewing everyone's progress, including those who failed. It was quite a while before I left the alchemical hall, and there was a smile on my face. What I have achieved today, has really made me proud of myself. I am learning a lot, under the guidance of Tor's alchemists. They are helping me fix many of the flaws I have. These flaws are quite common among the self-trained. I have them, not only in alchemy but also in healing and culinary. I do not have them in an artifice, as impartation seemed to deal with every aspect of the field. It was the evening when I reached my apartment. I freshened up and cooked myself a dinner, before sitting by the wall and wall and eating, while enjoying the view. It had been nearly five months since I came to the organization and twenty-one days since I came back from the last mission. I have yet to decide what to do next. I couldn't take on any mission in this burnout period and no realm or exploration didn't seem to interest me. Still, I will have to find something; I couldn't just stay at the organization. Not that it is a bad thing; I am learning every day and also making progress. Even if I stayed in the organization, I would reach the limit and would do it faster than outside. Unlike the ones with convectional inheritances; we of the celestial inheritance don't need to comprehend our inheritance. We are the ones who created the damn things. I finished the dinner and watched the plates before walking into the practice room. I didn't have to practice today, but I have to keep up with the appearance. Hun! I sat down and was about to close my eyes when my badge shone faintly with notification. I looked and was about to swipe it away, seeing it was about the realm. There are tens of realms, I could go to every day, and I looked at each and every one of them and many of them were amazing, but they didn't impress me. I was about to swipe it away from this one too, when I noticed a word and opened the notification. "Now, this is something," I said. This is an emergency notice about the realm. This is not our realm, but one belonging to our allies, and something interesting had happened there.
