Chapter 111 - 105 Reunion by the Roadside_l
“Thank you, Link.”
Jasmine closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and suppressed the tumultuous emotions brewing in her heart.
In a fleeting moment, she remembered leaving the Quete Archipelago, arriving at the academy, indulging in social entertainment, changing her mindset, following and learning, conducting research experiments, improving her grades, working part-time, and witnessing today’s events.
It was as if she were a newly forged sword, subjected to raging flames and uncountable strikes. Once quenched in water, the sword instantly took shape,
Jasmine had suddenly matured quite a lot.
Opening her eyes, the former self – cunning, a tea enthusiast, and codependent noble young lady was gone. In front of Link, she was now a truly suitable wizard’s apprentice.
Rational, self-serving, and relentlessly climbing upward.
Whether in pursuit of knowledge, truth, and power, or authority and status.
“Wow!”
Wizard Serene looked back at her and expressed her admiration.
Wizard Palo had originally sent Jasmine Kidman to Serene to be an intern and a guide. At first, after reviewing her file, Serene was not eager to accept her.
Her qualifications weren’t remarkable, she appeared rather tender-hearted and couldn’t handle adversity well.
However, noting that Kidman had fully adhered to two development projects, Serene reluctantly agreed.
Later, during their interactions, Serene discovered qualities in Jasmine Kidman that changed her perspective.
Jasmine was willing to listen, able to reflect, and learn from the advanced, to make up for her shortcomings.
Jasmine Kidman, in her position as a guide, had become skilled and capable of managing on her own after only two days.
Wizard Serene noticed that besides introducing Jasmine Kidman to Link Grande, he didn’t provide any overt assistance.
That was entirely thanks to Jasmine’s own abilities.
So, that was why Serene chose to bring Jasmine Kidman today.
Initially, she planned to let Link Grande and Jasmine Kidman witness large- scale potion production, to accumulate experience for the future industrialization of laboratory product design.
Unexpectedly Jasmine Kidman had a sort of spiritual baptism.
This was beneficial for Jasmine Kidman, both in the present and the future.
“Test your spiritual power once you get back, you’ll be surprised.”
Wizard Serene offered this suggestion.
Jasmine, feeling much better than before, revealed a joyous expression.
Soon, Jasmine controlled her emotions and followed Wizard Serene’s tempo.
The main task today was to adjust the new Glasswort production line, not her emotional changes or improvement in strength.
Jasmine had a knack for understanding the situation.
She knows what needs to be done and when, she never kicks up a fuss.
This was extremely important, regardless of whether one admired or disregarded her, she was never annoying.
The new production line adjustment wasn’t complex, it didn’t require Wizard Serene to personally step in.
However, the overwhelming orders left the factory overwhelmed.
Considering Link Grande was a gifted alchemist, Serene decided it would be beneficial to foster this talent, and thus planned today’s adventure.
Throughout, Wizard Serene didn’t lift a finger, instead instructed Link and Jasmine, especially Link.
They scurried around, tripped, failed, and started over.
It took an entire morning to complete a task that would take an experienced person less than half an hour.
Leaving the “workshop”, they changed out of the protective gear, and left the factory.
Wizard Serene flicked a finger, and the sweat and grime on Link and Jasmine vanished instantly.
She didn’t want her own beloved vehicle to be tarnished.
Link looked down at his clean body recalling a lingering idea since school started.
After climbing into the floating vehicle, and once the speed stabilized, he couldn’t help asking. “Wizard Serene, are there any magic spells in the Water or Wood system that could clean instantly like earlier?”
“Why would this interest you?”
Curiously, Wizard Serene asked.
“Um…”
Link pondered for a while before honestly replying, “I feel that having to wash every day is too time-consuming.”
“Hehehe…”
Upon hearing this, Wizard Serene chuckle uncontrollably.
Link didn’ t know which part of his comment caused Wizard Serene1 s intense reaction.
He certainly didn’t expect such a huge response.
That’s when Jasmine chimed in, “Wizard Serene, I’m also quite interested in this. Could you please teach us?”
Eventually, Wizard Serene contained her laughter. Without beating around the bush, she explained, “It’s not witchcraft, it’s just a simple use of spiritual power and magic power. However, if you want to master this skill, you have to first become an official wizard.”
“Oh, so that’s how it is.”
Jasmine immediately lost interest in this witchcraft skill.
But Link was contemplating how long it would take for him to learn this witchcraft skill.
If everything goes smoothly, perhaps by this time next year, he wouldn’t need to worry about cleaning and washing every day.
” Keep working hard.”
Wizard Serene encouraged the two and then focused on driving her beloved car.
She enjoyed the feeling of speed while being in control.
Soon, they arrived at the potion shop.
As the trio alighted from the vehicle, the intelligent kitchen in the restaurant just finished preparing lunch.
After a busy morning, not only was a considerable amount of spiritual and magic power spent, but also a significant amount of physical strength.
It was rare for Link to experience the feeling of hunger once again.
