Alchemy Ranks

Alex handed the five pills to the woman who came to take them. Once she confirmed that she had received the exact pills that Alex had made, she asked him to leave the room. 

Alex walked out of the door and the woman followed behind him.

The Alchemist Han gave a surprised look when he saw Alex walk out. He looked toward the woman, wondering if she had been the one to call off the alchemy process, but instead, she only shook her head.

She handed over the pills to Alchemist Han and said, "These are the pills this fellow Alchemist made."

"Thank you," Alchemist Han said. 

He put the pills away. "Your test is complete. Your results should be available for you to view in 2 days. Come back with the registration slip you have."

Alex smiled. "Thank you senior."

The woman moved close to Alex to show him the way out. Alex nodded and followed her. As they left, the woman couldn't help but ask some questions.
