Chapter 997: Goodman's Considerations
"Of course it's okay from the perspective of your magical potential and magical control, but I wonder how good your magical perception is?" Alfie, of course, understood why Sean was tempted.
But the biggest difference between a pharmacist and a magician is that the pharmacist has very low requirements for magic potential, and even a guy with zero magic potential like Alfie can formulate high-level potions, but he has extremely high requirements for magic perception, and only those with superior magic perception can accurately perceive the changes in medicinal power when dispensing.
Magicians, on the other hand, almost determine the height that a magician can eventually achieve, but they do not have such high requirements for magical perception, so when Augusta made the magic identification tablet, he did not even consider testing magical perception.
There is only one thing that is equally demanding for the two, and that is magic control, which is also the reason why the magicians feel more headaches about Tyrol's condition during the entrance test, and Alfie can choose to become a pharmacist if he is the least good, and Tyrol has almost no choice but to hope that after he recovers his memory, he can have a certain degree of magical control.
"Magical perception? How is this tested?" asked Sean eagerly, he definitely had magical perception, but he didn't know exactly how far he could go, and whether he met the requirements to become a pharmacist.
"I don't have any testing methods right now, but if you look at how you do when you're cultivating the Whiskers, you should be able to see a rough idea. Alfie vaguely felt that Master Goodman's arrangement of such a test seemed to have the intention of considering whether Sean might become a pharmacist. Could it be that Master Madison asked Goodman to help him find a suitable disciple?
Alfie probably didn't expect it to really let him guess. Master Madison knew that there was no hope of continuing his advancement after advancing to the Sanctuary, and felt that there was no successor (in fact, he was stimulated by Alfie's rejection), so he contacted his old friend Master Goodman and asked him to help find someone from among the students of the School of Magic who could inherit the mantle of Master Madison.
Unfortunately, the prejudice against pharmacists in this era still exists, and no one has yet realized that pharmacists are actually a very promising and irreplaceable profession, so Master Goodman had to turn his attention to the magic apprentices who had just entered the school and were relatively easy to fool after trying in vain to test several students with excellent magical perception.
Master Goodman placed Sean, who was very qualified but much inferior to Cillian and the others, in Elfie's dormitory, and did not intend to impress Sean with Alfie's performance. After all, judging from Master Madison's letter, when there is room to play, it is impossible to give up such an opportunity with Alfie's character. Master Madison deduced that if Alfie arrived in the Imperial Capital, he would most likely rely on his apacist talent.
Master Madison's eyes can be described as vicious, and he understands Alfie's psychology very thoroughly. Not only has he just arrived in the imperial capital, and he can't wait to show his talent as a pharmacist. Master Goodman arranged such a test along the way, and sure enough, Alfie's performance made Sean excited.
It can be said that in their dormitory, Master Goodman really values the most inconspicuous Sean, and he understands that with the qualifications of the other three, it is unlikely that he will continue to stay under his command in the end, on the contrary, Sean, who is not weak in qualifications but is more obedient, may become a dark horse.
If you look at the history of the magic academy, you can know that in fact, a double-B-level magic apprentice like Sean is already the best among the new students every year. It's just that this year, there are three genius monsters in succession, Killian, Alfie and Tylor, which makes him more inconspicuous.
This kind of illusion naturally can't be hidden from the senior old foxes of the Academy of Magic, otherwise they wouldn't agree to assign Sean to the dormitory of the three Elfie.
"Let's hurry up and get started. Killian urged impatiently. He was eager to know what Goodman had promised him if they had passed the test.
"It's time for us to hurry. Alfie quietly put away the demon's notes. After paying a lot of money just now, he traded from the Demon Note to a cultivation method that would allow the Whisker Grass to quickly reach thirty years.
"First of all, Sean. To the surprise of the others, Alfie did not assign Tyrol a job first, but called Sean's name.
Sean looked at Alfie expectantly, he had decided that if this test could be successful, he would take pharmacy as his major, and he had gradually become fascinated by the vast "money" landscape of pharmacists. If he could take out a few bottles of priceless potions like Alfie in the future, he would feel awesome to think about, and maybe he would become the second Sanctuary Apothecary after Master Madison.
"Sean, you first release your magic power to gather some fire elementals and control the temperature of the entire laboratory at a constant temperature of forty degrees. Alfie commanded.
"Forty degrees, isn't that going to heat you to death?" said Killian.
"Killian, please remember that if you can't overcome this difficulty, even if you are a double S-level magical genius, you will not be able to achieve too high an achievement. Alfie reminded.
"I'm just talking. I can't believe you can beat these two guys!" Killian said dissatisfied.
"I'm afraid I won't be able to control the temperature. Sean said a little unconfidently, "It's okay to get the room temperature to reach forty degrees, but it's a little difficult to keep it constant." ”
"You try to maintain it first, and when it really doesn't work, I'll help you. Alfie glanced at Sean, "If you want to become a pharmacist, you must master the ability to control the temperature, so that you can control the heat when dispensing." This is the most basic quality of a pharmacist. ”
"I see, I'll do my best. Sean assured with a serious face. Only then did he realize that this experiment was actually a test for the four of them, as Master Goodman said.
After Alfie signaled that Sean could start, she carefully sensed the temperature change in the laboratory. Sean didn't disappoint him, and after a few moments, the room temperature reached the temperature that Alfie needed, and then he said to Tyrol, "Then then, Tyrol, can you try to unleash some earth-based magic?"
"I can only try. Tyrol said with some surprise. He could feel the abundance of magic in his body, the only problem was that it didn't seem to be at his command.
...... Three minutes later, even though Tyrol's face had turned purple, there was still not a trace of an increase in earth in the lab.
"Huh, is it my delusion, why do I feel that the earth elemental in the laboratory is decreasing instead of increasing?" said Killian, looking at Tylor's embarrassed appearance.
"Kylian, you're right. Because Tyrol's body is like a giant magnet, absorbing the earth elements naturally present in the laboratory into his body!" Elphie finally understood where Tyrol's magical potential came from.
