Creation System: Reborn As A Fantasy Worldsmith
Chapter 270 Unstable Pill?
Whips of blistering wind shot out of the cauldron at times as the students looked on in worry and awe. Scarlett leaned over the railing, looking down at the pill that was barely holding together.
'It won't condense fully... it's impossible,' she thought as she looked over at Lyrian. 'He's concentrated... but he's clearly never done this before. For learning to do it in just a few minutes, this level of concentration and talent is... amazing,' she mused, astonished.
She then looked over at Linus, who was actually facing the pill inside the cauldron.
'But... if I allow him to create a better pill than Lord Linus,' she mused, a worried thought crossing her head. 'No... I can't.' She looked back at the pill.
'But... surely, such a poorly constructed pill wouldn't combine. His concentration may be almost flawless, but this is still his first-ever attempt. As expected, it's not going calmly.'
Her gaze was locked onto the pill, as was the gaze of all the other students. Finally, gasps of shock sounded through the kids as Lyrian's pill began to cool down and condense.
Scarlett's eyes widened in shock, as she suddenly blurted out, "Stop right there!" She yelled, throwing her hand toward Lyrian.
"That's an Unstable Grade pill! It's dangerou--" He paused abruptly, noticing that Lyrian wasn't hearing a single word she said.
Stressed, she looked at the pill once again and found that it had now fully condensed. Lyrian opened his eyes, as the pill flew right toward him. The humming stopped, along with the forceful winds.
He grabbed onto the pill and looked toward Scarlett. The students continued to gaze at him, however. Scarlett looked at Linus, and then back at Lyrian.
'He actually did it. No... I can't allow this,' she said inwardly, not wanting to be punished for allowing such a thing to happen.
She was from the Creyuun kingdom. To let another student, an MVP, and a peasant at that, best the prince of her kingdom would be similar to signing a death warrant.
Lyrian waited for her to announce its grade, as Scarlett began to speak. "Failed!" She said out of nowhere, shocking everyone.
Even Nova flew around Lyrian with furrowed brows, not happy with those words.
Although Lyrian's initial process was questionable, it was clear to see that he had formed a good pill. They were confused as to why she said it failed.
"That is an Unstable Grade pill! Hand it over immediately!" She exclaimed, reaching her hand out.
"Unstable? This isn't unstable at all," Lyrian spoke back to everyone's surprise, as a few let out shocked noises.
Linus looked at Lyrian, and then back at Scarlett. One couldn't read the expression on his face. It was... expressionless.
Scarlett saw this, and without wasting any time, she opened her eyes widely for only a split second. At once, the pill exploded into pieces from the inside.
Everyone looked at the crumbs of the pill on the ground, as Scarlett nervously side-eyed Linus.
Seeing this, Linus simply walked away from the railing.
"W--where are you going, lord? Class isn't over!" Scarlett yelled on seeing this.
"I'm leaving," Linus said nonchalantly, walking out of the class.
Lyrian looked at Scarlett with furrowed brows as she heaved a sigh of relief.
'This bitch...' He mused, slightly annoyed. He knew what happened here, but it seemed none of the students had a single clue.
Finally, Scarlett opened her eyes and faced Lyrian. "Who are you looking at like that, boy? Step back from your railing, didn't I tell you it was unstable?"
Before Lyrian could say anything, another boy spoke up. "It didn't really look unstable to me--" He was cut off.
"If it wasn't Unstable, then how did it combust!?" She lectured, shutting the boy up quickly. "It may have looked fully condensed and cooled, but on the inside, it was still Unstable. That was why it broke into pieces. Or else, what could possibly lead it to explode as it did?"
The other students didn't seem to have an answer to this question.
"Maybe because..." Lyrian began to say, "You broke it with magic." He said out of nowhere.
Scarlett was thrown off and shook her head as she leaned back in astonishment. 'I get Lord Linus... but how did he recognize that?' She mused as others looked at her in confusion.
"W-what!?" She sounded baffled. "How dare you accuse me of this, boy! You will be getting written up for this!" She began to exclaim, as Lyrian began walking.
He neared the stairs to the bottom floor, similar to how Linus had left.
"Where do you think you are going! Class hasn't ended, and I still have to give you your punishment!" She barked at him. All the students only observed in bewilderment.
A lot of crazy, unexpected events happened in that class period, so they were rightfully at a loss for words.
"If Linus left, I can leave too. What is it? MVP bias or Prince bias?"
Scarlett opened her mouth to reply, but before any words came out of her mouth, Lyrian continued.
"I couldn't care less either way. I'm leaving..." He turned to face forward, leaving the room with an irritated gaze on his face--with Nova following shortly behind him.
'She could have at least given me it... so it seems sheep are also amongst the teachers. How annoying.' Lyrian mused as he exited the room.
There, Linus stood outside leaning against the wall. Lyrian made eye contact with him for a moment.
'What's he doing out here?' Lyrian mused, staring at the boy.
After looking at Lyrian for a second, Linus simply walked away.
'What the... was he just waiting here to look at me or something? Weirdo...' Lyrian said this and returned to his room.
After unpacking his stuff, Lyrian left for the forest once again. He didn't want to waste any time, as he knew the hunting practice with the other team was the tomorrow.
More than that though, he also just wanted to hunt and cultivate. Being in that bull shit room with the bull shit teacher and her bull shit ways wouldn't do anything productive for him.
