Killed with a punch
In one of the grandly decorated residences, luxurious decorations adorned every corner, attracting frequent visitors and even forming a line outside.
"Hey, who lives here to have such a luxurious residence?" a curious passerby asked.
The person, startled by the question, gave the passerby a deep look. "You must be a new student from the academy?"
"Haha," the new student scratched his head awkwardly, "yeah, you caught me."
"This is the residence of an Alchemist. Although it's not as spacious as an Elder's yard, the decorations alone are enough to make even an Elder drool over the resources."
The new student's eyes widened in surprise. "Oh, I see. My mistake. I didn't recognize that this was the residence of the only Alchemist in our village."
"Well, not exactly the only Alchemist."
"Huh? What do you mean?"
"There's another Alchemist in the village now."
