The panther breathed its last beneath his blade. Streams of gray energy rose from its body and shot toward him as if drawn by a magnet. By now, he was already skilled at handling the gray energy, so there was little reaction as he quietly suppressed its negative effects.

Mattimeo pulled out his sword and began cutting open the beast's chest. He extracted its beast core and teeth before placing them inside the huge black bag he had stolen on his way here.

Afterward, he raised the sword and admir

    "Come, son. What do you want?"Mattimeo took out a list he had prepared beforehand."I want everything on this list," he said.The seller took the list and scanned through it."Hmm, you must be an apprentice Alchemist, right?" he asked."Yes." Mattimeo nodded."I can tell. These are materials for basic pills. Where do you study?" he asked curiously."I don't study anywhere, but I have a master," Mattimeo replied."Alright. These will cost you two hundred low-grade spirit stones, or two mid-grade spirit stones," the seller said."That much? That's too expensive." Mattimeo frowned."Expensive? Son, you don't know how expensive Alchemy is. You're still making something as basic as this, and you're already complaining? Just wait until you start making more complicated pills in the future.""It's alright. I'll pay."Mattimeo took out two mid-grade spirit stones and handed them over. Afterward, he visited several other stores to purchase the remaining items he needed before returning to the

    "Gia, are you insinuating that he harmed me before?"Gia immediately started fidgeting. Her fingers tightened around her skirt as she tugged at it nervously before finally looking up at Mattimeo."I mean... he used to bully you sometimes, especially whenever your father, the Duke, was away from the mansion.""Is that so?"Mattimeo stood with his hands at his sides, staring directly into her eyes.Gia couldn't meet his gaze. Her eyes darted away, and she hurried back to the line almost immediately.Mattimeo shook his head and walked away.Confused by what had just happened, Mia quickly chased after him.It wasn't long before news of Mattimeo registering for the tournament spread throughout the entire Ravenshire clan mansion and even beyond its walls."Richard, I heard that the future Duke and clan leader of the Ravenshire clan has registered for your clan tournament."A young man dressed in flowing green robes spoke with a grin.The young man in purple robes frowned, setting down his w

    "Young Master!"The moment Mia saw Mattimeo, she forgot every grudge she had been holding against him and threw herself into his arms."Mia."Mattimeo smiled and wrapped his arms around her."Where did you go without telling anyone? I was so worried about you," she said, her voice filled with concern."I left a letter on my pillow. I thought you'd find it while cleaning my room," he explained."I'm not the one who cleaned your room these past few days. I contracted a skin disease and was banned from going inside your room. I only came out of seclusion yesterday, and when I cleaned your room this morning, there was no letter. It was probably thrown away by whoever cleaned it."Mattimeo finally understood why she had never seen it.As they made their way back toward his room, something caught his attention when they passed the training grounds."There are more people training than usual. Is something going on?" he asked curiously."Did you forget, Young Master? The clan tournament for t

    "That cripple had gone missing again. Always finding ways to waste clan resources," Edward muttered as he stood by the window, watching people rush back and forth across the clan grounds.Alfred sat quietly in a chair across from the table."Roland is going to the Great Fay Forest," he said."I hope he goes deeper and dies in there. Bastard."Alfred remained silent.A full minute passed before he finally spoke."Has there been any reply from the Second Prince?""No. But don't worry. I'm sure he's just being cautious right now and still hopes to win Roland over. Soon enough, he'll realize he has no choice but to come to me for help," Edward said confidently."Maybe he just thinks you're not capable," Alfred muttered under his breath.Edward heard him."What did you just say?"He turned sharply, his eyes narrowing as they locked onto Alfred."I'm not saying you're weak. I'm saying maybe that's what he thinks. Those are two different things.""Get out. Now! I'll tell you when I get a rep

    "No, my prince. The person I sent wasn't able to convince him. He was adamant about supporting the Crown Prince," the man with the goatee replied.The prince drove the knife he had been idly playing with into the table."That bastard!" he snarled. "What does he really want? I'm ready to give him anything, yet he still refuses!"His jaw tightened, and the veins in his neck bulged with frustration."Duke Roland is extremely loyal to your father, so his loyalty to the throne is well known. Since your father has already crowned your brother, that loyalty naturally extends to him. He's not a man who can be easily bought with money," the goateed man replied.The prince's eyes darted as he considered the situation."He's a powerful man, one of the most capable Dukes in Kharoth, and a passionate one at that. If I had managed to bring him to my side, it would have been a tremendous boost."A heavy sigh escaped him."I'll think of something later."He yanked the knife free and resumed twirling

    Mattimeo nearly lost control at the last moment.The cauldron lid shot into the air with a loud bang, and a sharp wave of pain exploded inside his head."Argh!"His vision blurred.The world spun.His legs gave out beneath him, and he crashed onto the ground, clutching his head as a terrible headache tore through his mind.The man reacted instantly.His hand shot into the air and caught something before it could fall.When he opened his palm, three pills rested there.His eyes widened.Three pills.Their smooth surface gleamed under the light, and their rich color was accompanied by a remarkable luster."Eighty percent purity..."His voice was barely above a whisper.For a pill this simple, he could also achieve eighty percent purity with superior materials. At his level, that wasn't difficult.But the materials Mattimeo had used were incomplete. Some ingredients had even been substituted with supplementary materials.Under those conditions, the highest purity Ezra had ever managed to
