## Chapter 781: Saint Mark Alchemist?!
"Turning grass and soil into water, completely converting the elemental properties of a substance – this is Stigma Level Alchemy!"
Mr. Shu's gaze towards the blonde Young Man was filled with shock.
How was this possible?
"Eh, you are..."
However, the blonde Young Man, who was Damian, was currently looking at Mr. Shu with equally surprised gaze.
Because when the Ground beneath the other party's feet turned into Clean Water, he didn't use any Spell, nor did he use a Magic Staff, not even a Magic Power Fluctuation.
He simply clapped his hands together in front of him, and a visible Whirlwind surged around him, lifting him up and saving him from the embarrassing fate of falling into the water.
He even lifted Louise and Hiraga Saito behind him along with him.
And when Damian heard Mr. Shu's words, his eyebrows immediately raised, and he asked curiously with his pair of clear blue eyes, "You can actually recognize Alchemy?"
"Naturally, because I myself am an Alchemist."
Mr. Shu composed himself and nodded with a gentle tone.
It was rare to meet a fellow practitioner in the Other World, and the other party seemed to be an Alchemy Genius at a young Age.
It was just that this Genius seemed a bit too much of a Genius.
He clearly looked only fourteen or fifteen years old, yet his Alchemy level was comparable to Dean Isaac?
Terrifying!
However, Mr. Shu also had some doubts in his mind: was this blonde Young Man's Alchemy truly his own, or could it be related to the strange Musical Instrument in his hand?
"What, you're also an Alchemist!"
It was Damian's turn to be shocked. One must know that his 'High-Tier Alchemy' was considered an Ancient Method lost in this world.
As for why he knew it, that was a Secret.
In short, he had always thought that in the current Era, he was the only Alchemist.
"Yes."
Mr. Shu nodded again, then controlled the Air Current around him to quickly form a circular Alchemy Array with a Diameter of three meters on the water surface beneath his feet. Then, he clapped his hands upwards, instantly unleashing streaks of blue Electro.
*Swish—*
The next second, centered on the Alchemy Array, a white Cold Air swept out, instantly freezing the newly formed 'Campus Lake' into a thick Ice Surface.
It also conveniently froze the black-dressed Girl who was fighting Chelsea at the waist.
As for the former, knowing Mr. Shu, she jumped out of the water in time to avoid the Cold Air, then landed beside the Girl who was half-frozen in the Ice and chuckled:
"Little sister, how about we introduce ourselves to each other?"
"Hmph!"
Janet turned her head away in dissatisfaction, ignoring her.
On the other side.
Damian, standing firmly on the Ice Surface with both feet, muttered to himself upon seeing Mr. Shu's move, "It's really Alchemy, but can Alchemy be this flexible?"
Anyway, if he didn't use Magic, he couldn't control Wind to activate an Alchemy Array.
"Let me introduce myself. I am an Intermediate Alchemist from Overseas, Hugh. May I ask your name and Age?"
Mr. Shu asked with a friendly Attitude and a smile, not caring at all that they were currently in a hostile relationship.
"Overseas, Intermediate Level?"
The intelligent Damian immediately grasped the two Key Points, but still answered obediently, "My name is Damian, I'm ten years old this year. As for what Rank of Alchemist I am, I don't know."
"Ten years old!"
Mr. Shu was moved and quickly asked again, "Excuse me, was that Alchemy just now activated by yourself, or..." As he spoke, his Gaze glanced at the golden Musical Instrument in the other party's hand.
But Damian pouted and said, "Why should I tell you? We're Opponents right now, okay?"
"Hehehe..."
Mr. Shu smiled at such childish words, but he had already gotten the answer he wanted.
Because when a person is asked a question, whether they answer or not, they will always subconsciously think about it in their mind.
That was enough.
Simply put, Damian's own Alchemy level could only achieve Matter Restructuring.
But the 'Ancient Alchemy Holy Relic' in his hand could give him the Ability of Matter Conversion.
However, it only had this Ability; other things like Matter Modification and Material Synthesis were completely absent.
But this thing allowed him to not rely on an Alchemy Array. As long as he imagined an Alchemy Array in his mind, then pressed it against the Ground, and pressed the button, he could activate it.
Even so.
It was still worthy of being called an 'Alchemy Holy Relic', after all, Matter Conversion was something only Saint Mark Alchemists who had seen the 'Truth' could achieve.
However, Mr. Shu saw through it but didn't say anything, nor did he have any interest in showing off his Ability to See Others' Thoughts.
"Being able to reach the level of a Junior Alchemist at the Age of ten is already enough to be considered a Genius."
So Mr. Shu simply praised him and then asked with a smile, "Then Damian, why did you kidnap Miss Louise?"
My Alchemy is only Junior?
Damian was momentarily stunned. If the other party claimed to be Intermediate Level, didn't that mean he was even more powerful than himself?
Also, since there were Junior and Intermediate Levels, there must be High Rank as well, right?
"We 'Element Brothers' were just hired by someone. After all, Alchemy Research requires a lot of Money. As for who the employer is, I can't say."
Damian answered casually, then smiled and said, "So, can this Alchemist Senior please not interfere with us?"
"I see, for Money. This is indeed a problem that Rogue Alchemists need to worry about."
Mr. Shu suddenly understood.
Because he came from the 'Academy of Truth' and his parents were Nobility of the Alchemy Kingdom, he had never had this kind of trouble since childhood.
But after growing up, he also knew that most Alchemists, especially those not from the Academy, had to constantly hustle for Money and various Resources and Materials almost every day.
Because Alchemy requires a lot of Knowledge, which means Books and various Data/Files, and also requires a lot of Experiments to Familiarize oneself with the Elemental Changes of Substances.
"Eh, that's not right. Since you have mastered Matter Conversion, shouldn't you have as much Metal as you want?"
Mr. Shu asked in doubt.
Such a Prohibition against Transmuting Gold should not apply to Damian, as there was no specialized Alchemy Academy Organization in this world.
"That's no fun. Money earned by oneself feels more comfortable."
Damian replied to Mr. Shu with a calm demeanor, his young face lifted. This moved Mr. Shu once again, and this time it was because of the other party's Disposition and Moral Character.
"Good, good, good. At such a young Age, to be able to restrain the Greed in his heart, it's rare, truly rare!"
Mr. Shu was overjoyed, his eyes filled with admiration as he looked at Damian. He immediately raised his hand and smiled, "Do you want to learn more Alchemy Knowledge?"
"Hmm?"
Damian looked directly at Mr. Shu's Gaze with Doubt: "You want to teach me?"
"Yes, I will be your Teacher, and I will cover the Resources needed during the Learning process. You won't have to do this kind of thing to earn Money anymore!"
Mr. Shu stated his thoughts frankly.
"Although I don't know how much Money you have, you can't become my Teacher just by talking." Damian gripped the golden Musical Instrument in his hand and chuckled, "Besides, I'm not only skilled in Alchemy, Mr. Shu~"
The next moment.
He pressed the button with his thumb again. Immediately, Ice Pillars rose from the Ice Surface around him, and then the Ice Pillars quickly transformed into various bizarre 'Ice Demons'.
As soon as they formed, they pounced towards Mr. Shu's location, while more 'Ice Demons' continued to appear.
This was the Combination of Alchemy and Magic!
