In the blink of an eye.
After a brief period of rest and recuperation, the members of the Mutual Aid Society went their separate ways again.
Ian's life gradually returned to peace as well.
Studying.
It seemed to have become the only focus of his life.
Whether it was potion-making or anything else, he was steadily improving.
Among them, he could reach Master Level in one Advanced Potion every month.
Of course, what he displayed to the outside world was merely proficiency, especially to the department.
Ian's Wizardry.
Was also progressing at a steady pace.
He was currently studying many spells.
Two spells from the Potion Heritage, three outstanding Zero Ring spells given by Layton, Potion Identification, the Lionheart Knight Method, and Wind of Traction.
But because potion-making held him back, and Ian's meditation time had increased.
There was not much time left for studying other spells.
So Ian simply focused all his energy on Acid Splash as his primary subject of study.
He aimed to raise it to Master Level before finishing his advanced potion studies.
As for the other spells, he would wait until after advancing to Second-class Talent.
At first, things were fairly peaceful.
Half a month later.
The school announced the establishment of the Potion Strategic Security Department.
However, no person in charge was selected. Instead, Vivian and Doug were jointly put in charge until a leader could be chosen later.
This immediately threw the school into unrest.
Open and covert struggles became noticeably more frequent.
Even Ian was affected to some extent.
For example, he might encounter obstacles when applying for certain materials, or the materials he received would be of rather poor quality.
So later on, Ian took all his materials directly from Granger's laboratory.
As for other troubles, he did not encounter any.
