Volume 4 Chapter 5 The Potion Master Exiled from the The Black Alchemist Guild III
It had been about half a month since Shawn, the former alchemist boy, came to the Act Guild.
One day, the adventurers from Gem of Heavenly Gift exterminated a dungeon boss.
"Hah... hah... we, we did it..."
"This boss... is the strongest I've ever faced..."
The adventurers were already completely exhausted.
They whispered while looking at the fallen body of the boss.
"If it weren't for the Anti-Regeneration potion Shawn gave me, we would have been done for..."
The enemy was a soft-bodied monster with the ability to regenerate endlessly.
After talking to the Guildmaster about this, Shawn made a new potion.
When they threw the potion in a bottle, the infinite regeneration stopped, and their attacks landed.
"Ugh...! Damn... my right arm..."
One adventurer had badly injured his right arm in the fierce battle.
It was a complicated fracture, with bones sticking out.
"Here, drink this. It's the potion I got from Shawn."
The leader, S-Rank Adventurer Olga, handed the potion bottle to his teammate.
"A, a potion...? No, it's just a healing potion... for this big injury..."
"Just DRINK it!"
He looked at it with uncertainty, but then quietly
the adventurer brought the potion to his lips.
Then... in an instant, his right arm returned to normal.
"W, wow! What is this!? My right arm... no, ALL my wounds are healing!?"
The bones were back in place, and he could move normally again.
The exhaustion from before vanished, and he was back to his fighting shape.
"This potion's healing power is AMAZING, just like Hero Party's Sister Luna!"
The healer Luna is a master of healing magic, able to heal any injury in an instant.
Shawn had created a potion that was on par with her healing.
It was something extraordinary.
"Alright, everyone, let's gather the materials and head back to the Guild!"
"Understood!"

After returning to Gem of Heavenly Gift, Olga visited Shawn's lab.
"You saved me, Shawn. Your potion is the best."
Shawn, in his white coat, smiles and shakes his head.
"No, I'm still learning. Compared to Ms. Rita..."
The half-elf girl, Rita, is buried in a pile of research papers, fast asleep.
"But this potion is really tasty. Recovery potions are usually famous for being gross, but it was like drinking expensive wine?"
"Really? Thank you so much!"
Hehe, Shawn laughs happily.
"I always thought about making something that people would enjoy drinking since I was in the Alchemist Guild. But... in the end, I realized I don't need to worry about that..."
As Shawn, he had people in mind when he made this potion.
However, he didn't get along with the profit-driven Alchemist Guild, and in the end, his proposal was rejected.
"Mr. Act praised this potion's taste too. And I'm sure it will sell."
In fact, Shawn's recovery potion sold more than any other Guild's.
"Everyone is looking forward to your potion made with heart. I'm one of them."
Olga stands up with a smile and pats Shawn's head.
"Good job. Keep up the good work."
"Yes! Thank you!"
After Olga leaves, Rita wakes up.
"Huh? I wasn't slacking off!"
Looking at sleepy Rita, Shawn gives a wry smile.
"Ms. Rita, the guest isn't Mr. Act."
"Oh... never mind then..."
Plop, she lays her head back down on the desk.
"Shawn. Sorry, give me a potion to cheer up..."
"Sure, sure."
Shawn takes a flask with golden liquid potion in his hand and approaches her.
After Rita drinks it, her expression changes from deadpan to lively.
"Oh YEAH! I feel recharged!"
Rita tidies up the mountain of papers at an incredible speed.
He had more talent for making potions than anyone else.
With Rita's knowledge added to the basic potion-making approach, they could now create any type of potion.
Ones that heal wounds in an instant, and ones that take away any fatigue with a single sip.
"I had no idea potions had so many possibilities!"
"Well, it's not just that potions are amazing, it's that you, Shawn, have the talent to create such wonders."
In a blink, all the documents were neatly organized.
"Since you already had the basics of chemistry through potion-making, it was easy to teach you the applications."
Rita stood up and stroked Shawn's hair.
"Ah..." Shawn's face turned red.
"Oh, um... thank you."
"Well, if you keep this up, you'll be graduating in just half a month, won't you?"
"Eh, what, expulsion...?"
Shawn was suddenly confused.
Meanwhile, Rita looked at him with affectionate eyes.
"You'll understand in time. We're almost done with the potion to neutralize the miasma too. ...So, how about we go get some lunch?"
