Chapter 140: Making Neutralizers and Alchemical Black Technology (3)

After completing the magic circuit, Alfred added some more acid into the container containing sea snake acid to increase the overall concentration of the acid, and then threw the gel board with the magic circuit drawn on it into the container again.

Next, he began preparing the other parts of the centrifuge.

After the magic circuit was etched, he assembled other small magic devices using silver liquefied by magic power (just like soldering resistors on a circuit board).

After completing this work, Alfred found some suitable wooden boards, covered the main board of the completed magic centrifuge, and filled it with liquid slime gel.

After clearing out the parts needed to form other components, Alfred sprinkled solidifying powder on the slime gel and allowed the gel to solidify to protect the circuits and small magic devices underneath.

"This is the last time."

Alfred fixed the rotating handle on which the container was placed and installed a gravity stone underneath to adjust the weight of the entire centrifuge when it was running.

"So, that Alfred fellow student... where did you learn all this from?"

Sophia, who had been silent since the beginning, now asked in surprise.

"Uh... my mother, is there anything wrong?"

Alfred replied, rubbing his head awkwardly.

At the same time, he also apologized in his heart to his mother Carolina in this life.

"No, nothing, it's just that from now on, Junior Brother Alfred, can you be my teacher?"

Sophia took a step forward, took Alfrid's hand in hers, raised her eyes and asked passionately.

"Eh?! But, but I'm not good enough to teach others. And I don't know anything about the theory. I just know the specific operation method..."

This was not a lie, because Alfred had indeed forgotten all the theoretical parts.

Alfred turned his head away embarrassedly, not daring to look directly into Sophia's clear eyes.

He didn't expect the other party to make such a request.

"How, how could this happen... But you are really amazing, Alfred. Even the three alchemy and magic science instructors in our grade couldn't do what you did just now!"

Sophia lowered her eyes in disappointment.

It looked like a poor puppy abandoned on the roadside, and one really couldn't bear to leave it alone.

"Thank you for your praise, Senior Sister... How about this? When I have time, I will come back to this laboratory to find you, Senior Sister, and provide you with some help within my ability. Is that okay?"

Alfred suggested, taking a step back.

"Is it really possible?!"

“Really…”

"Then please make sure to come here often, Junior Alfred! By the way, I might as well give you the key here, Junior Alfred, so that even if I'm not here, you can come in first."

Following the principle of acting immediately after knowing, Sophia immediately took out a key from a small bag on the cabinet and forced it into Alfred's hand.

However, in the common sense of the imperial aristocratic society, when a woman gives a man the key to her room, it means that she is always welcome in every sense.

Although the key Sophia gave Alfred was only for the laboratory, he still didn't know what to do for a moment.

"Please, fellow apprentice."

"Okay... Well, then, Senior Sophia, let's quickly prepare the neutralizer."

Alfred cleared his throat, took a step back, and suggested to Sophia.

"That's right. It's already afternoon. Ah, I accidentally skipped class today..."

Sophia calmed down a little, and said something that seemed to take a long time to react.

"I'm sorry, I made you skip class this afternoon."

"No, it doesn't matter. Anyway, I don't really want to go to the practical class this afternoon. How should I put it? I don't really like fighting and killing, but everyone says..."

Sophia lowered her eyes in distress.

Alfred also often heard people mention that the class that Sophia was in was the most mediocre in terms of average strength in the Illya Arya Puppet Master Academy over the years.

It’s not that these seniors are really weak, it’s just that the people they are compared with are too strong.

In the third year, there were not only Rose and Aeril, but also several seniors whom Alfred was not very familiar with who were also gifted in the field of puppeteers and combat.

As for the fourth graders, they have two high walls: the student council president Cecilia and Louise.

When he was being chased by the two men before, Alfred felt very clearly that the strength of the two men had far exceeded the level of students, and was even stronger than the average puppet knight.

Among the first-year students, there are the highly anticipated Liliana, Rosalie and others.

In this comparison, the second graders look quite insignificant.

As the only sophomore, Sophia must have been under a lot of pressure from the outside world.

"Actually, I hate fighting, too."

"Eh?! Haha, you are kidding me, right? You beat Hallhua to a pulp in a duel at the beginning of the school year. Last Friday, I heard that you beat up a arrogant first-year student."

Hearing Alfred say this, Sophia was stunned for a moment and couldn't help laughing.

"I'm serious. They just came to pick a fight first. If possible, I also want to live a stable and slow life and spend a peaceful and happy time with the important people around me."

Alfred replied with a helpless shrug.

"You are so amazing, you can escape easily even when surrounded by so many people."

"I have always felt that the world is neither fair nor reasonable. But no matter how much I hate it, the facts are the facts. Disgusting things cannot be avoided, and extremely despicable people will still exist."

Alfred paused his movements and said.

"So I think that if I don't have power, I will definitely be swallowed up by the malice of others. And not only myself, but also the important people around me."

"Junior Alfred, you... I didn't expect you to be so introverted and gloomy. I thought you would be a more sunny person."

Sophia seemed a little surprised.

"Pfft, you misunderstood, Senior. People's inner thoughts and the attitudes they show are not always the same. Did I disappoint you, Senior?"

Alfred asked with a chuckle.

"Hmm~hmm, no. I think that Junior Alfred, you are still the same person as I imagined, but there are just a few unexpected things."

Sophia shook her head slightly and said with a kind and gentle smile.

She also raised her right hand and made a little gesture with her index finger and thumb.
