Master Of None

Remey had not let the sudden exit of Walker shake her. She knew that something was happening but she had more responsibilities where she was. If she were to let it show that she was distracted at all it could lead to higher stress for every single person participating in the event.

"Since Walker has left, I will take a walk around the venue." The old master alchemist and Trish had already been announcing the winners and those who made outstanding performances. Having Remey walk through some of the last people to prepare potions was not a big deal at all.

The alchemy fire spirit had been wandering around enjoying the fluid fire elemental mana as most of the alchemists used fire to create the potions they made. However, when it rushed back to Remey full of energy, she wasn't sure what was happening. But she was not going to just ignore the obvious lead.

"That's an interesting technique you have there." What Remey found was a very young boy who shouldn't even be able to attend such an event. He didn't even flinch when she spoke to him. His gaze was fully focused on the smaller cauldron that he had chosen to make a single health potion with.

"You chose decent herbs, have a decent scent coming from that, and your mana control is very nice. However, I have an interest in why your alchemy flames are blue. It's already different enough that you can use alchemy flames already. But blue alchemy flames? Very interesting."

This was clear why the alchemy fire spirit had found Remey to bring her over. Remey had never heard that alchemy fire could be blue. Blue flames? Yes, they were commonly known to represent spiritual flames, healing flames, and even cold flames. There were also cases where blue flames burned slowly and much hotter than normal flames.

"Same heat as my alchemy flames, more control, less mana being used. A very good skill." Remey mumbled as she evaluated everything. It was beginning to prove to be a very worthwhile result of leaving the judging arena.

,m The boy had more to show off though, as soon as the potion had begun to reach peak heat, he stopped the flames. With The immediate stoppage of heat, the blue flames should have dissipated. Yet this did not happen, instead, the flames pulled the heat from the cauldron cooling the potion rapidly. It perfectly preserved the potion at the fastest rate that Remey had ever seen.

"So it's not that they are alchemy flames, they are still a unique blue flame used for alchemy. Perfect, show me that potion!" Remey held a hand out as the boy was filling a vial. He handed the potion over and slowly came back in to focus.

The fear and worry on his face showed Remey that he had been in his very own world while performing his alchemy. It was unique but not unheard of for an alchemist to be fully focused on what they were creating.

"Do you know what you've done?" Remey looked down at the boy who flinched away. "I-i just made a low tier health potion. I know that it's not the same as everyone else but it's all I can do. Please, I just need to keep learning so I can help my family out more we just moved here and and and-"

"Silence already! You need to learn to hold yourself back." It was a little ironic that Remey was the one saying this. However, she was distracted by the potion in her hands. "Come with me. Now." Remey nearly dragged the boy toward the arena to announce the results.

Both Trish and the old master alchemist were not sure why Remey had brought in a child. They knew that he was not nearly old enough to be participating in the event and must have managed to sneak in somehow.

"For the first and only time in this competition, someone had managed to use a low tier potion formula and created a mid tier potion. This boy here is going to be the youngest alchemy genius to enter the alchemy guild. Congratulate the new member of the elite alchemy class, our blue fire alchemist."

Remey had gone above what everyone expected. She had granted him a nickname in the guild already and plainly stated that he was a genius. The boy, on the other hand, was stunned. He thought he was about to get yelled at and kicked out. He thought that he had ruined his chance of ever being an alchemist in his entire life.

With this unexpected occurrence, the crowd watching went wild. Ignus in particular was focused on the boy. "Find something interesting? Mordant wanted to hear what had actually managed to catch Ignus's eye.

"He can use fire that most people can not. The blue flames that were just described are unique even to dragons. If you recall, my mother was a blue fire dragon. They had slightly less control of their own mana but incredible control of fire elemental mana in a unique way. They can control heat to the extreme. From what I know of alchemy, heat is key. That boy could become great here in this village."

With great surprise, Mordant ensured he would remember the appearance of the boy. Ignus was not one to openly praise someone. Therefore, when Ignus compared this boy's flames to a dragon's flames, especially his mother's, It was a big deal.

"I will expect better fire affinity potions in a few years instead of a generation. That boy may be the one they needed." Ignus lost focus after the boy was guided down by another alchemy guild member. From this point on, there were very few people participating left. It was a very quick day long competition that everyone thought would go on longer.
