I JUST WANT A PEACEFUL LIFE

After thinking for a while, Angus couldn't find the one that triggered his qualification. At first, he thought it because he read the thick fictional book about archmage Bern over time.

If that is the case, there will be a lot of people having this qualification. Since magician combatants in this world are practically people who need to read a lot of books. The book about the Archmage Bern itself is quite popular for the magician.

Even if the fictional book is useless, many people also read it at least a dozen times. Especially the one that searches for Archmage Bern's legacy. They must also learn and read this kind of book dozens of times.

Judging by the unknown material the ring is made of, he guesses that it is something that could not be built easily. It is not easy to get qualifications and receive this ring as it is limited.

'Haa.. What a troublesome ring. Oh, well.. Since I can't get rid of it, I might as well wear it hoping I didn't get cursed or anything.' thought Angus.

There are few cases where an unknown artifact gives a nasty curse towards its wielder. Some of them even turn their wielder into a mindless berserker who thirsts for blood.

However, Angus wasn't afraid of this. Since if he is the archmage himself, he will not truly hurt his inheritor candidate. Otherwise, there will be only a few people that search for his legacy and in the worst case, no one wants to try for it.

Without wasting any moment he put the ring in his pointer finger. Suddenly, he is getting a headache from the sudden influx of information on his head.

"URRGH… "groaned Angus.

He feels like his head getting hammered down by a nail. After a while, the pain subsided while he slumped on his bed having a cold sweat.

"Damn it… That hurts a lot." muttered Angus.

Angus kept lying down on the bed as he still hadn't fully recovered from the sudden influx of information. While he lay down for a while, the dorm's caretaker knocked on his door to bring his dinner. *Knock* *Knock*

Dragging his sluggish body, he opened the door and let the employee bring the dinner inside. After the employee gets out, he begins to eat his dinner without thinking about anything.

Angus feels like wants to sleep as soon as possible to rest his mind. He is too exhausted to think about any heavy stuff, for now, especially after the sudden influx of information he just received.

The next morning, Angus found his mind refreshed. After doing his morning routine, he takes shower like usual. When taking a shower, he begins to organize the information he receives from the ring.

The ring gives him a lot of information. Some of them are about a few locations where Archmage Bern left his legacy. Most of this location is unknown to Angus and the one he knows couldn't be approached for the current him.

He only knows these locations from its nearby area and books. Besides the location of Archmage Bern's Legacy, Angus also found few recipes of alchemy products such as potions and many other new elements.

However, he feels like being tested by Archmage Bern himself, the recipes and other alchemy's formula is incomplete. He needs to work by himself to complete the recipe.

Among many potion recipes, one of them interests him. It is a miasma-curing potion. By using this potion, the potion will expel any miasma in the wound. Fortunately, it only works on fresh wounds like his healing art techniques.

This is also one of the potions he wanted to create before. However, unlike the others potion recipe, it only contains unfinished research notes. This means even Archmage Bern himself still didn't find the way to miasma curing potion.

Still, the research note will help him a lot in research for the material. The difficulty of creating a new potion is not at the brewing or production method. It is at the selecting ingredient phase.

There are millions of ingredients to be known up to this date. To create a new potion, Alchemists need to select some of the ingredients with the right properties from these million choices.

Furthermore, the alchemist needs to know what to do with these ingredients to get the effect he desires. For example, the mana potion's main ingredient is the mana core from the monster.

Before combining with the other ingredients, mana core needs to be processed first. There are various kinds of processes like slicing, burning, melting, boiling, and so on. Each of these processes will give different results.

This is the reason why creating a new potion is very hard and not many people could do it. Some fortunate Alchemist could create a new combination potion that is more potent. But, some unfortunate ones could even create a dangerous potion.

After having breakfast, Angus goes to his history class. The history class ended with most of the students becoming absentminded like usual.

Then, Angus has some lunch before he goes towards the alchemy facility. By a coincidence, he has an alchemy course for today to test the research note he got from the ring.

Angus planned to create this miasma curing potion to relieve him from working himself to cure the other people. So far the news of him could cure miasma-based wounds only known to few people.

The reason for such secrecy is Angus needs a huge concentration to do the medication which means he could not do it for anybody as it is exhausting him.

As for passing the technique itself towards others is also almost impossible since when he gives the technique to his father, most of the healer and expert only know half of what he said in the note. In summary, the only one that could practice his healing technique is only him.

Arriving at the alchemy facility, Angus immediately visits the ingredient store in the facility. The alchemy facility also sells raw ingredients to the student. Fortunately, the ingredient could be bought with gold coins and points.

Otherwise, Angus's research will be delayed because of a lack of points to buy the ingredient. Besides that, one of Angus's current advantages is that Angus didn't lack any money.

Especially with the current situation where monster ingredient material prices have risen. A few days ago, Angus got a message from Ernest, the Golden Trade Merchant manager.

Ernest wanted to purchase his monster ingredient at five times the normal market price because of the economic crisis. Hearing this, Angus immediately agrees and sends all the monster ingredients he gets from the system to him.

Because of this transaction, he got almost half a million gold coins. He even told Ernest to procure more grade one and ungraded monsters to be donated to the Royal Academy.

Although catching monsters is very difficult, with enough money and connections like the Golden Trade Merchant guild it still could be done.

Using this opportunity, Angus also asked Ernest to get him a few poison recipes. He still didn't forget his initial reason he learned alchemy.

After purchasing many ingredients in bulk, Angus goes towards one of the empty workstations and begins to brew his miasma curing potion according to the research note. As for creating poison, he couldn't do it in an open public facility like this one.

He could only create it when he was at the manor's house. As the fifth-year student that is learning this course, Angus already got permission to brewing his potion.

Still, he needs to report to the teacher at the end of his potion he works on later. He planned to give just another report of the potion he already mastered when practicing it on the break.

Few hours of testing, Angus finally found the main ingredient for the Miasma curing potion according to the research note Archmage Bern left behind. The main ingredient is Elephant Grass which could even be found in the backyard or on the roadside.

No one is thinking that this common grass is worth nothing but food for domestic animals could be the main ingredient for such an important potion like Miasma curing potion.

Although Angus couldn't test if it could repel the miasma in the wound, he is still sure about it according to the research note. Still, it needs the other ingredient to keep the potion balanced. It needs other ingredients that do not decrease its effect or make it volatile.

Using his expertise at healing art and with the help of the research note, Angus chose a few ingredients to be tested with Elephant Grass.

Unfortunately, the time of the alchemy course soon comes to an end and he needs to stop his current research. Still, he is developing faster than he thought.

If nothing goes wrong, he estimated that he could finish the potion in a few months or one year. Having the prospect of not working in a healer path made Angus's mood happy.

'I never thought that the Archmage Bern's legacy would be useful for me. Still, I don't understand why he thinks that I qualified for his legacy. Well, I will know about that in the future.' thought Angus while walking towards his dorm.

On the way towards his dorm, Angus heard a commotion that attracted many students nearby.

"Look, they are coming back."
