Ascension: Strongest Fateless Mage

After registering the magic potion under the name of Skelly, they got the option to either receive 15,000 Gaia credits or 1,500,000 Lopax credits.

Lopax credits were used in the Lopax country, while Gaia credits can be used everywhere in the Gaia continent. They are a sort of premium currency. That\'s why their values are higher.

In the end, Zevien asked if they could take 7,500 Gaia credits and 750,000 Lopax credits.

Fortunately, they agreed.

Afterward, they left the Alchemy association and waited outside.

"What are we waiting for?" Skelly asked with doubt.

Right after he finished speaking, a black sedan car stopped in front of them.

…

"I didn\'t expect you to bring me this level of magic potion when I first gave you the ingredients," Raven said with a chuckle. She was impressed.

Skelly was on his toes, both anxious and excited to be in front of the famous Umbra Raven Alchemist.

Glancing at Zevien, he was confused, \'how can Zevien talk with her so casually?\'

After Zevien and Raven talked about business for a while, Raven turned to Skelly with an amusing expression, "so you will be helming the main process, eh. Although I don\'t know how good you are as an Alchemist, I will know soon."

When it was regarding Alchemy, Skelly puffed his chest and spoke confidently, "I can assure you, ma\'am, that you will not be disappointed by my skills in Alchemy."

"Good, then the deal is done. You will stay here for a few days to handle the production of this magic potion. You and some other alchemist under me will start crafting this potion en masse. I want a batch of hundred in ten days," Raven said as she fiddled with her Digi-watch for a few seconds.

*tink….*

*tink….*

Both Zevien and Skelly received 500,000 Lopax credits in their bank accounts.

"This is the advance payment of those hundred potions," Raven said with a faint smile, "Skelly here can pay for his workshop, or…he can just work under me."

"No," Skelly shook his head with determination, "once your alchemists learn the process, I will leave. I want to rise up to your level and even higher on my own."

Raven raised her eyebrows before she smiled, "good luck."

"Umm, so what is the price of the potion? I was kind of dazed when you decided it," Skelly said with a slightly embarrassed smile.

"25,000 Lopax credits per potion," Zevien said with a grin, "early batches will go to the government, and they can fork out money easy and fast. We are the only supplier of this potion for now, so demand will be high but production low. This price is apt for it."

"From the first batch of hundred potions, we will be earning 2,500,000 Lopax credits, so I gave you 1,000,000 in advance," Raven said in a clear cut voice, "I will be covering all expenses like ingredients, flame stones, pots, and also pay other alchemists so I will be taking 1,500,000 Lopax credits. I still need to calculate the cost of making a batch, so depending on it, I will change the distribution of money later."

"No problem, hahaha," Zevien said as he stood up laughing and stretched his hand towards Raven, "you both should work hard so that I can earn money without doing anything."

Raven shook hands as she playfully smiled, "boy, you will have to work when the time comes, so for now, enjoy your academy life."

"Umm, I don\'t really have anything to do since I paid for my workshop just now," Skelly said as he rubbed his palms in excitement, "why don\'t we just start working on crafting Bonecretto magic potions?"

"Alright, better sooner than later," Raven nodded with a smile.

…

Zevien left the Umbra Alchemy House, a giant building and Raven\'s company of a sort.

After leaving the building, a black sedan was waiting for him as Raven ordered one of her staff members to drop Zevien back at the academy.

Sitting in the car, Zevien happily looked at the numbers in the display of his Digi-watch, \'gotta enjoy today with everyone. Hmmm, I might as well take the kids in the orphanage with us to a high-class dinner restaurant. That way, Vernisia will also not hesitate to come.\'

Currently, he has 3,750 Gaia credits and 875,000 Lopax credits.

After reaching the academy, Zevien attended the classes with everyone.

The academy time is from morning 6:30 AM to 11:30 AM.

After that, students are usually free to do anything they want, but not a single student would waste their time as they would use academy facilities like VR Arena, martial art duels, and such activities for some hours. There are also challenging games in the academy like Race to the top, 360 defense, Killing Fiesta, Hell Path, and Magic Rumble.

"Now that the academy is over, what\'s your plan?" Dan asked Erica while moving.

Zevien, Vernisia, Erica, and Dan were walking out as they had just finished their last class.

Dan was signaling Zevien with his eyes to ask them about dinner.

So when Dan asked the question, Zevien followed up before Erica could answer, "ahem, why don\'t we go out?"

"Out? Where?" Vernisia asked.

"We should all go together to my orphanage, and then with the kids, we can go eat outside for dinner, but before that....," Zevien trailed off as he activated his Digi-watch and sent a message to mother Helena before he said to everyone with a smile, "the kids there shouldn\'t have eaten yet, so we first bring lunch there and eat there. After that, we can train for some time, either at Dan\'s dojo or back to the academy."

"Let\'s go to my Dojo," Dan said with a grin, "I also want Zevien to meet my master."

"Fine, I will inform my master that I will be training with you today," Erica nodded as she looked at Dan before snorting, "prepare to lose this time."

"Then what are we waiting for?" Vernisia said with slight excitement, "let\'s go, buy food, and then go to the orphanage."

…

Zevien and others left the academy, but none of them had any vehicle.

"Wait, I will arrange a car for us," Vernisia said with a smile as she contacted someone through her Digi-watch.

\'Arrange a car for us?\' Zevien was startled, \'Vernisia\'s family was middle-class before the time rewind, but the way she spoke doesn\'t seem like that. Just…what else changed about her after the time-rewind? Something feels wrong...\'

A sudden anxious feeling assaulted Zevien, but he hoped that it was just him overthinking.
