The Amazement of the Apprentices
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The examination hall for the alchemy trainee exam was set up in this building. Each examination hall was equipped with twenty alchemical furnaces. Each furnace took up quite a bit of space and the space around each of them was separated by a yellow line. Each examinee was free to move within their own spaces.
On the other side of the hall was a huge pile of various medicinal herbs. Each variety of medicinal herb had been prepared in large quantities. It was clear that the examinees were to retrieve their own ingredients to concoct their pills.
The process of retrieving medicinal herbs was also a test of an alchemist's basic skills!
