Extraordinary Characteristic

The system must have determined that the mission had been completed when the exam papers were marked.

Dave had expected to get full marks in Potionology.

However, he did not expect that he could get an exaggerated score of 90 for one subject and 95 for the other!

Through these few days of hard work, he had raised his Water Elementalism to Level 1 (36/100) and his Dark Elementalism to Level 1 (34/100).

Compared to before, each of them had increased by 3 points.

According to Dave's estimation, this level was above average among apprentices.

He was confident that he could score above 80 points in the examination.

If it exceeded 90 points, it would depend on luck.

In the end, perhaps luck did shine on him because he got 95 on one and 90 on the other...

In the end, he gained a total of 963 free Learning EXP points and 185 general points.

This was the first time Dave had earned so many free learning experience points so easily.

He immediately opened the system panel.

" I have a total of 963 free learning points…It's enough for me to upgrade Potionology to Level 3…."

Dave hesitated for a moment, but he decided to prioritize Potionology.

Previously, when he was flipping through the book, he had already discovered some of the more profound parts. His Potionology level was starting to be insufficient.

Now that the assessment was over, a portion of the focus in the future would definitely be on Potionology.

In order to avoid similar situations in the future, he might as well upgrade it now.

Dave was also curious about what Level 3 Potionology would be like.

Dave's current Potionology level was Level 2 (386/1000). He would need 614 points to upgrade it to Level 3.

Although Dave already missed the EXP he had just earned, he still added 614 EXP to it.

A familiar explosion sounded in his mind again.

Compared to the last time when his subject level increased, he felt a sense of joy that was even stronger.

The whole world seemed to have been turned upside down by the strange and colorful scene in front of him.

Dave took two deep breaths to get out of this state.

Similarly, this time, he did not have any additional knowledge about Potionology in his mind.

However, compared to the last time, he felt that he seemed to have changed a lot.

Dave closed his eyes. When he opened them again, he felt something mysterious.

It was as if a switch had been turned on in his body.

Everywhere he looked, it was as if the entire world was covered with a layer of filter, turning very dark.

"This is..."

Dave found that he could 'flip the switch' and enter the mysterious state as long as he wanted to.

He looked around and did not find much difference from before.

However, when his gaze stopped on a half-finished potion on the experiment table, he discovered that there was a rather eye-catching layer of blue fluorescence on it.

He then looked at the discarded medicinal liquid in the pool beside him and found that there was also a layer of fluorescent light on it, but the color was quite mixed.

"Wait a minute..."

Dave opened a drawer and took out a few materials.

As expected, some of these materials also emitted a faint fluorescent light.

However, some of them were red, and some were green.

Dave seemed to have found a new toy. He took out all his things and looked at them one by one.

He studied it for ten minutes.

It was only when he realized that he seemed to have been in this state for a long time that his mental energy was exhausted, and he felt a little dizzy that he quickly turned it off.

"So that's how it is…."

Dave rested for half a minute before opening his eyes.

Even though he couldn't hide his fatigue, there was still some excitement in his eyes.

He was already certain of what he saw.

"After activating this state, I can actually activate the extraordinary characteristic!"

Extraordinary characteristics were actually a very abstract term.

According to Dave's understanding, extraordinary characteristics were invisible, but they were everywhere in the magic world.

Even the mana cultivated by meditation in the Mage's bodies contained extraordinary characteristics.

The extraordinary characteristic of a subject would be displayed under certain conditions.

For example, after refining, potions with various special effects could be produced.

Some were supported by various materials and had different uses.

There were also many terrifying magical beasts and monsters.

In fact, they were all manifestations of extraordinary characteristics.

Mages often knew about the existence of extraordinary characteristics through experience and research, but they could not observe it in detail.

At the very least, Dave himself did not know of any way to directly observe extraordinary characteristics.

However, he now realized that if he activated this state, all items that contained extraordinary characteristics would appear with a special fluorescent light!

For example, the magic potion, the magic potion, and even the ring that Mrs. Izu had given him had different colors of fluorescent light.

Although he wasn't sure what the difference was between the colors, he was certain that what he saw was the Extraordinary characteristic itself!

As a Potionology apprentice, Dave knew exactly what that meant.

When refining potions, being able to observe the characteristics inside the material directly could not be said to have a small impact on the refinement.

It was not an exaggeration to say that he had relied on experience when refining potions before this.

It could even be said that all potionologists relied on experience.

The accumulation of experience and the improvement of Potionology allowed them to refine all kinds of potions successfully.

But now, he could directly observe the characteristics of the different materials. It was like playing hide and seek with his eyes open.

It could be said to be cheating!

"Is this an ability given to me by the system? I've never heard of any acolyte or Mage who would obtain this ability through in-depth research on potionology…"

Dave couldn't wait to try making a potion.

However, before that, he had to sort out the rewards for completing the mission.
