"The new boy was able to defeat Sergei El's waterbender?" Artyom Bobrov whispered in disbelief to their female friend Lisa Kwan. The group in red robes and yellow robes now began to dissolve in the conversation, which sometimes between the conversations raised small screams of envy.
Even Gladys Wu, the light grey girl, opened her mouth wide, so she could not believe her vision.
"Is this really the Zhonglei I knew a while ago, who really knew nothing about all the magic lessons?"
In contrast to the look of disbelief that the little boys gave, Coach Arogorth even patted Zhonglei on the back while praising him..
"Good, These are the fruits of your miserable perseverance.
Looky... Now that you're a little boy, you've reaped the benefits, and you're exploding in surprise.
I'm hoping.. This perseverance and achievement you still continue to maintain, Zhonglei !"
Those praises made Zhonglei truly feel ashamed. His face flushed to the point that he was speechless.
But despite all the shock, he felt a real warmth in his heart, when the coach gave his full name. Coach Aragoroth never wanted to say his name in full.

The next lesson is the technique of concocting drugs and pills or commonly called Alchemy. Instructor Lianjin Lui, a herbology teacher and an alchemist were seen waving her hands.
Then in a glowing image looks a long series of recipes along with the dose they have to make.
"that's the recipe for the Strength Enhancing Pill, a rank I pi that novice Alchemists like you can make in this class.
The benefit of this pill is to restore energy as much as 10 parts when a witch is exhausted in the war.
This simple pill only requires three main ingredients from the herbal plant alone.
But the secret key is proper heating, so that the pill will burn perfectly in the furnace, and not make your alchemical cauldron explode due to excessive heat.
The winner in making this Strength Enhancing Pill, will be rewarded with 100 contribution points"
Until there, the instructor was unable to continue his words. The room in the open class instantly became a scene...
"100 contribution points?
The six of us can have fun this weekend at the bakeries and taverns of the Temaram City market" Hui Kim of the Red Nomrogh group spoke enthusiastically.
"Pill concocting work, starting from now !" shouted instructor Liangjin Lui encouragingly.
"You have to win that contribution point. You are the smartest student in the field of Alchemy among the red-robed children" Artyom told him.
The other red Nomrogh children cheered. They have imagined Pumpkin Tart-tart Cakes, Ice cream Leeci even beer shorgum that they secretly always consume, even though they are under age.
Gladys Wu who happened to pass through the line of red-robed children sneered loudly, saying,
"Sad..
You are like a rumpuk who misses the moon, like a loser who is dreaming in broad daylight.
You don't even have the slightest element of wood in your body at your energy center.
Then could you want to defeat the wooden children of the blue robe group there?"
Gladys Wu's face looked full of scorn, which made Artyom on the verge of wrath in one blink of an eye..
"Weird creatures.. Y-you.." Artyom was just about to spy on Gladys Wu viciously, but he was reminded of the random curses that the gloomy-faced boy had cast.
Then Artyom secretly tried to suppress the anger in his heart.
"Let's ignore that unpopular girl. He's just trying to make us angry".

"Three stalks of the Alamanda Flower, then scattering them on a flame that was kept hot using the power of the soul" Zhonglei scattered three sprigs from his hands into the cauldron.
"Gush !" the fire exploded until it filled the entire cauldron. It would remain Zhonglei did not become nervous.
"Hasn't it become common for magic plants or herbs to be inserted into the cauldron, there would be such sparks?" Zhonglei grew steadily after he recalled the distilling theory written on the magic textbook in the library.
"Myopic !" the cauldron looked boiling. Zhonglei is getting excited.
"Everything has been in accordance with the theory written in the Text book of magic in the library" he said.
With concentration he maintained the flame in his alchemy furnace in a blue-colored constant flame.
It was not too difficult for Zhonglei to maintain such a blue flame within 30 minutes.
"Breathing training or what is called Siulian by Imam Lu really has great benefits.
Not only was I able to control the power from the direction of my energy navel, my concentration of thought was getting better.
Trouble making a flame for but blue like this, is no longer a big deal to me" Zhonglei sang happily in his heart.
"Bom !"
"Bom !"
Two explosions followed a small complaint when all eyes were on Lilian Hu of the Green Nomrog and Artyom of the Red Nomrogh.
Apparently a cauldron made of pottery, which they used had erupted.
Usually the eruption occurs due to errors in concocting pills or heating techniques using the wrong fire.
The faces of the two children had turned jet-black due to the explosion of the herbal ingredients they had concocted earlier.
The giggling sound of the Red and Green Nomrogh group children was heard, despite trying to be resistant.
It would be impolite to laugh at the lack of their own friends. But the black soot stains on Artyom and Llian Hu's faces made the other children unable to bear to laugh.
Zhonglei did not let loose a laugh as he knew, if he were to play around and join in laughing at the two children, his concentration would break.
Though the flame had been constant until the twenty-ninth minute. Soon he had to scatter black ginger slices from the interior of the Enet Tribe Territory over a cauldron that emitted a thick blue vapor.
"Now is the time" said Zhonglei, as he watched the timepiece show its burning had been perfect in thirty minutes.
Zhonglei's hands moved like the fingers of opera dancers he often saw when the bearers of fairy tales demonstrated folk dances in drinking houses in Meihua village at the time.
"Wush" the blue fog that enveloped the cauldron miraculously turned white, then chipped from within the cauldron, filling the entire space. It smells so good.
"That smell.. !" instructor Liangjin Liu's nose swayed as he smelled the fragrant aroma of the medicines coming out of the cauldron at Zhonglei hadapa.
Meanwhile the cauldron on the table of the Zhonglei combustion furnace shook violently,
"Du - du -du -du" so it sounded, while his heart followed anxiously.
"Will it work?"
"Suiitttt" a whistling sound rang out very loudly, as a white-colored pill chipped from within Zhonglei's pottery cauldron.
The boy dexterously caught the pill, put it in a small bottle of pill storage.
"A Low Rank Strength Enhancing Pill !" Zhonglei raised up high the pill bottle that broadcast the fragrant fragrance of the pill.
The eyes of Alchemy Instructor Laingjin Lui shone happily. He loudly spoke, though,
"100 pounds of contribution to Zhonglei from the Blue-robed Group!"
All eyes were on Zhonglei. Once again the little boy was filled with shame. He did not feel at all that he was great.
But now the gazes of his classmates, now had turned into full of admiration and respect when he looked at his face.
"He will be a great alchemist" whispered among the children.
