Alchemy Academy (1)

"Sister, you're lying. You love roses the most, and you even told me I absolutely had to buy them for you." Thirteenth Young Master directly exposed his sister's lie without any regard.

That's right, they had all inquired clearly. Ye Lanyu loved roses, especially blue roses. Perhaps because of her name, she really liked the color blue.

"You little brat, if you talk too much, I'm rejecting someone." Ye Lanyu hit Thirteenth Young Master with annoyance and said it loudly and directly, which made the person holding the roses quite dejected.

"If you're rejecting them, why lie about it?" Thirteenth Young Master asked, rubbing his head.

"You wouldn't understand this. If I reject them, they'll still send flowers and gifts. It's so helpless. My charm is just too great. It's different for you; no one would pay you any attention." Ye Lanyu pulled Thirteenth Young Master and they sprinted, shaking off her pursuers.

This was her daily routine, and it also meant that Thirteenth Young Master and Tiger Girl never had a normal day. They strolled into the campus leisurely, but it was also because she escorted him every day, which reduced the number of people who bothered him.

"That's not true, I have plenty of people chasing me too," Thirteenth Young Master said.

"Really? Which young ladies are so discerning that they can discover your hidden potential, you little dummy?" Ye Lanyu pressed, curious and eager to know who Thirteenth Young Master's admirers were, and how they had such good taste.

This was definitely not her trying to make fun of Thirteenth Young Master. As his sister who was with him all day, she knew some of his unique abilities, abilities that few could match.

"It's not just young ladies; there are also some men," Thirteenth Young Master said proudly, as if he felt his sister underestimated him.

"What?! Men? Damn it, are they those perverted men? I'm going to kill them. Little brother, quickly tell your sister who those men are. I'll turn them into ice sculptures." His sister was furious, clearly having jumped to a negative conclusion.

"Miss Lanyu, you should ask for clarification first," Tiger Girl reminded him from the side. The situation was quite different from what Ye Lanyu imagined, and she didn't explain because Ye Lanyu disliked having Thirteenth Young Master's affairs relayed by others.

"?" Ye Lanyu was a bit confused, then quickly understood. There might be a misunderstanding here; her brother often expressed himself incorrectly.

"Little brother, tell me, how do they chase you?" Ye Lanyu asked.

"They chase me just like those people chased us just now, holding things in their hands and shouting for me not to run," Thirteenth Young Master said, his words causing Ye Lanyu's face to darken.

Just like them? It was exactly as she had thought.

"Young Master, what were they shouting, and what were they holding?" Tiger Girl said.

"They were holding chair legs and shouting, 'Ye Lang, you idiot, what crazy thing did you do again? Stop running, I'm going to kill you today.'"

"..."

Ye Lanyu finally understood. Thirteenth Young Master's "chase" wasn't about romantic pursuit but about being chased. At the same time, she also knew what those "things" were.

They were Alchemy items that Thirteenth Young Master had tinkered with, perhaps some kind of potion or a Magic Device. Whatever they were, they shared a characteristic: a slight degree of danger. In Thirteenth Young Master's own words, these things were not finished products, and incomplete items naturally lacked safety.

But if you know they're dangerous, why do you keep bringing them and harming people, causing chaos? Those unfortunate classmates really wanted to strangle Thirteenth Young Master.

Most of what Thirteenth Young Master made were his experimental products. For some reason, his mind was always filled with bizarre ideas. An ordinary Alchemy formula would mutate after he added a few things.

Generally, these mutations enhanced the original effects and added another function. However, there were also occasional failures, turning safe items into something a bit dangerous.

This was only regarding Alchemy formulas; he also modified Alchemy Arrays, with similar effects to the formulas. At the same time, this made his Alchemy Arrays unique, or rather, incomprehensible.

What the current students knew was that Thirteenth Young Master's creations were very dangerous.

Sometimes Thirteenth Young Master's creations only had a small destructive power, while other times the entire classroom suffered. Whenever this happened, Tiger Girl would quickly pull Thirteenth Young Master away.

As for why Tiger Girl didn't confiscate those items, it wasn't that she didn't try. It was just that Thirteenth Young Master had too many things, making it impossible to guard against them all.

Sometimes Thirteenth Young Master himself would accidentally trigger the danger of his creations, causing trouble for those around him. Other times, he would leave them lying around, and curious classmates would pick them up, leading to trouble. Yet, each time, he himself was protected by Tiger Girl, emerging unscathed.

This point was perhaps the most infuriating for everyone. Students in the Alchemy Academy often encountered such situations, and they could all understand each other, knowing that these were mistakes made while experimenting with Alchemy.

But why was Thirteenth Young Master Ye always unharmed, while they were always the ones getting hurt? This was also a form of jealousy, a jealousy of his luck.

As a result, Thirteenth Young Master Ye gradually became a public enemy in the class and even the entire Alchemy Academy. However, since they couldn't get to him and couldn't defeat Tiger Girl, they were forced to give up their plans to deal with Thirteenth Young Master due to the pressure.

"Alright, I'm going to class. See you at the cafeteria at noon. Little brother, be good today and don't cause any more trouble." Although she knew her brother wouldn't listen, Ye Lanyu still reminded him and also asked Tiger Girl to keep an eye on him.

Ye Lanyu was a student at the Magic Academy, while Ye Lang was at the Alchemy Academy. Their classrooms were separated by several sports fields and teaching buildings. If Ye Lang were in the Martial Arts Academy, it would be more manageable as it was closer. The problem was that he was in the Alchemy Academy.

Even he carried a certain degree of danger, so the entire Alchemy Academy was naturally a concentration point for dangerous items. Such an academy was also naturally isolated in a peripheral area.

Because of this reason, the Alchemy Academy had the strongest defenses and was the most independent, with clear separation zones from other academies, such as artificial rivers or walls.

This also reduced a lot of trouble for Thirteenth Young Master. Some people, unable to find an opportunity to approach Thirteenth Young Master, gave up on their envious intentions.

Students who chose Alchemy as their major generally had a lower propensity for fighting than others. Although they had jealousy, they were more rational, and their focus was on Alchemy techniques, not personal matters.

Fortunately, although Thirteenth Young Master was making good progress, he still appeared weak to outsiders. At least among the genius students in the Alchemy Academy, he was a completely insignificant figure.

And Thirteenth Young Master's somewhat mutated Alchemy techniques had not yet reached a significant level, so they wouldn't attract much attention.
