Kathy

John looked at Kathy in front of him and felt a little scared. The way she looked was very different. So he backed away and said," My name is John. What do you want from me, Miss Kathy?".

Kathy immediately asked in a cold tone," How did you tell the names of the herbs?".

John feigned his expression and said in a surprised tone," Oh the herb name, I was just reviewing the herbs that I learned now".

Anyway, John didn't see the encyclopedia so he decided to tell a lie.

When Kathy heard John's words she immediately laughed.

John was stunned and he felt that girl's expression changed way faster than he imagined. So he decided to leave but he found his hand was grabbed by Kathy.

He immediately said in a frightened tone," You.. what are you going.. to do with me".

Kathy immediately blushed and said," Next time if you want to lie then you better read the encyclopedia carefully. The herb's names that you told are on pages number 245, 365, and 500 respectively".

John blushed when he was caught lying so he asked," So why did you catch me?"

Kathy blushed and removed her hands. Then she said," Can you tell me how you identify the herbs? I am refining a pill named dexterity pill which can increase the speed of a tier 1 person. But as it fails most of the time so I want your help in refining the pill".

John immediately said," Me, no way I am just a newbie who has come in contact with Alchemy".

Kathy frowned and then she said," How about I give you 50 contribution points and you help me refine the pill?".

John frowned and he felt that this chick wouldn't let him go unless he solved her trouble. So he said," I will tell you before that I don't know anything about pill refining, and if you still insist then I can follow you".

Anyway in this way he would watch the live pill refining in front of him.

Kathy smiled and said," Okay let's go".

Saying so she took John directly to room number 3 and closed the door.

John walked inside the room and found the smell of herbs assaulting his nose. He could see the Alchemy cauldron which had broken into pieces.

Seeing this he was frightened and he asked," How did the Alchemy Cauldron break?"

Kathy blushed and replied," I broke it accidentally".

Then she said," Wait a minute".

The next second she said," T01 please clean the refining room".

As soon as she finished speaking a robot came out from below the ground and it cleaned the whole room within a minute.

John was stunned by seeing such a scene while Kathy chuckled and said," It cost me 200 contribution points to activate this robot".

John felt that this world was even more amazing than he thought it would be. Then in the next second Kathy took out another cauldron and replaced it while saying," Remember a cauldron costs just 10 contribution points. If converted into Federation coins then it's 1000 Federation coins".

John was stunned and immediately said in a slightly envious tone," Rich girl".

Kathy just smiled and said," Don't worry after you learn to start refining then you will also become rich at a very fast speed".

John just nodded his head and said," Okay then how shall I help you".

Kathy was also stunned as John was just a newbie so he hardly knew how to refine pills. So from the side, she just said," Can you watch me refine and give me tips after that".

After saying so she blushed while John said," Of course".

At this time John's eyes were shining as he wanted to watch the process of refining herbs. Then maybe he could buy and also try to refine herbs in his room.

Kathy said," Okay".

Then she began to prepare the materials and John easily found that Kathy used three herbs and they were Wolf Berry, Flying Grass, and Drayad Root.

Then she placed open the lid and placed the materials inside the cauldron and turned on the fire. She also began to use the seal and John found that there were only two seals. One could raise the temperature of the fire and the other could reduce the temperature.

But as her fire control wasn't good so of course he could smell those herbs burning and only some of the herbs turned into a liquid state.

While Kathy tried her best to turn those liquids into pills. But she still failed.

And soon the burnt smoke came out from the Cauldron.

This made Kathy's mood once again worse. Suddenly she looked at John and asked," Do you have any ideas where I failed?".

John came to his senses and said," Of course, the fire control isn't good enough so the herbs you used were all burnt".

Kathy immediately blushed and said," But I am number one in controlling fire in the Alchemist Apprentice".

John gave her a white look and he said," Then watch this".

Saying so he walked towards Kathy and said," Your mind is not calm while controlling fire. Also while controlling fire you need to treat it as an expansion of your arms... While using the seal you must control the amount of mana flow this will help you better control the fire..."

While giving the lecture he used the mana to accurately control the fire and turn it into various shapes. He even said," The use of seals is just to increase the mana flow or decrease the mana flow and the way you use the seal looks very difficult. So it's better to find your seal that you are comfortable with".

Kathy at this time was so shocked that she could only hear and watch John's performance. She felt that in front of him, her number-one status in controlling fire was just a joke.

Not only that she also found that what John said was direct to the point and she suddenly fell into a trance state where she was subconsciously thinking about John's performance and her eyes began to brighter and brighter.

John who had controlled the fire turned back only to see Kathy was so focused that he decided to leave her alone.
