Eric, Gale, and Salvador felt pumped up after hearing Vincent's words. At first, they didn't know how long they would need to train to master the ingredients purifying process. Now, however, they knew how long they had to undergo this grueling training to conquer the purifying process and make their instructor work. Thus, even though the training was too hard, they didn't feel downcast.

In the next few days, they trained and exhausted their bodies at night, followed by practicing discharging energy from their fingertips by using hand signs in the morning. To Vincent's surprise, Eric Ambrose was the first one to understand the path his mana took to escape out of his fingers and learned to shoot it out by using only his energy circuit.

Gale mastered that a day after him, and Salvador was the last one to understand it. He took four days. Their progress was impressive, enough for Vincent to praise them as geniuses. However, they all knew that he was the one doing his best to polish unrefined gems like them who were rich second-generation that never did anything the hard way and only ever took the easy route. If it wasn't for him, who can say that they would change their course?

The next alchemy class was still a day away. Their teacher only held it once a week, and if necessary, then three days. Though, that depended on Alex's mood. He was the best of the best, so the headmaster couldn't even complain too much, not too much they couldn't kick him out as the person backing him was instructor Theodore. If only he pulls out, then instructor Alex wouldn't act as carefree as he was acting nowadays. Eric and the others wanted to test out how much they had improved, but they could only do it tomorrow.

"See you guys later."

"Bye!"

"Tomorrow, don't miss the alchemy class!"

"Yes, I won't."

"Promise?"

"I mean it. Even I want to see how much you guys have improved."

It was still early in the morning. The three people had just finished their energy control training and were soaking wet with their sweat. Vincent said his goodbyes and went to deal with an important matter. In contrast, the three of them cleaned themselves and started partying.

During this week, a lot of things had happened. Vincent had made three people ready to crush the first process of alchemy, completing the first step of his plan to make instructor Alex take them and his job seriously instead of goofing off and sleeping his days away. The second important thing was that John had awakened. He took four whole days to complete his awakening process and, in the end, gained two powerful superpowers. Nowadays, after classes, he spends the rest of his time understanding how to use them.

The last was that Vincent had used his spare time to sell monster cores, carcasses, and other items that were useless to him through the online market. He earned a lot, nearly a million contribution points which he split up with the others. They didn't take much as they said they didn't do much to defeat them. As a result, he ended up with half a million points.

Half a million was a significant sum of contribution points, and Vincent found an excellent way to start using them.

Vincent invested them in purchasing alchemy recipes, which Vincent believed would tell him where he could find the ingredients needed to make them, what dangers he might come across while trying to pick them, how to pull them out of the ground, how to grow them, and what he needs to keep them away from wilting. He also learned many basics of alchemy from these recipes, such as heat control, timing, etc.

After splitting up with the people he no longer needed to carry on his back, Vincent went to the depository. It was near the Academy. The things Vincent purchased online had gotten transported to the deposit.

Today, he was going there to get them out of it!

The depository had a spacious interior and twelve floors. The floor was marbled, and there were twelve counters on the first floor. Each had a clerk in it, and huge lines of people stood in front of each of them

"It's going to take a lot of time."

Vincent clicked his tongue and got in line. He waited there patiently. Soon, his turn came up. The clerk asked him some questions in a monotone, androgynous voice, making Vincent believe he was talking to a robot. He answered the robot's question and gave him his student ID when it asked for it. He also gave the robot the serial numbers he got at the time of purchasing the hundreds of alchemy recipes to the robot.

A moment after that, the robot handed him a ring. Vincent put it on him, left the place, and while returning to the academy, peered inside of it. He saw many alchemy recipes, so many that he could make around half his million by selling them!

Vincent went back home and pulled all of the alchemy recipes out of the spatial ring. They were in the shape of tiny marbles, and they scattered all over his study table. There was no paper or such stuff, but Vincent wasn't surprised.

He knew that they could record information and that they all represented one pill recipe. Some were bigger than the others. The biggest one contained the best one. He wanted to start by mastering the best, so he picked one up and poured mana into it.

Immediately after, multiple holographic papers containing line after line popped up in his vision.

'Reading and memorizing the context of this recipe would take up the rest of my entire day,' Vincent thought after noticing that there were seventeen pages with complex information and formulas in them.

[Would you like to memorize it by using some experience points?]

Vincent thought about it. Instead of working hard and studying for months, it would be best to learn all of them in a single day and free himself from overstudying.

All it would take was experience points that he had plenty.

Vincent picked up one marble after another and used the unique method to memorize their context.

[-50 experience points. You've memorized the entire context of the Upper energy purifying formula.]

[-10 experience points. You've memorized the entire context of the lower health potion recipe.]

[-30 experience points. You've memorized the entire context of the Pure Restoration Pill Recipe.]

A lot of information kept surging into his mind, becoming a part of his memory. Still, he didn't feel overloaded, and his brain was able to keep up with the speed at which he was learning new knowledge. Before the twin moons of Xavier managed to overthrow the sun, Vincent ended up becoming a walking, talking library of alchemy topics. He could process knowledge about different pills at any moment he liked. The only thing he was lacking was learning the last process of alchemy. And he was sure that the day he would learn it wasn't far away.

A new monster of alchemy was born!

"He is probably not coming today." Salvador saw that it was already 12, but the person in charge of their alchemy hadn't come and felt dissatisfaction arising from the bottom of his heart.

It was Sunday, and only a single person had dropped out of the alchemy class, thinking it would waste his time coming here as the instructor he got wasn't interested in teaching him. As if he were cursed, Alex didn't even come here. Only the substitute was here, ready to answer if they had any alchemy questions.

"He is kind of an asshole. Don't you guys think so too?" Gale said, dissing Alex.

"I also feel that his attitude isn't right, and I even sent a formal complaint to the headmaster to impeach him or put someone else in his place to teach us, but both of my requests were turned down." Eric agreed with him as he felt that instructor Alex was too irresponsible.

"Wait, the higher-ups of the academy usually fawn over you to gain your favor, but they even turned your request down for instructor Alex. I'm guessing his backing is quite big." Salvador said after thinking carefully for a moment.

Before they could start chatting away the rest of the day on some useless topic, Vincent intervened.

"Ignore him and focus on what you guys came here for. See how good you've become in the purification process and forget about everything else." Vincent said to them.

He knew that instructor Alex was testing them. Though, his way of doing things was too insidious. Besides, He might not teach them if half of the class fails to complete the first process of alchemy by the end of the month.

Gale and the others started purifying one ingredient each, and it only took several minutes for Gale to expel around 50% from one.
