Alchemist In The Apocalypse: Rise Of A Legend!

Chapter 153 Other Exercises



Other Exercises.

[Ace POV],

"What did everyone get?" With my manual in hand, I asked my teammates as they turned to look at me, and judging even by the expressions on their faces, the exercise they received should not be too bad.

Hearing my question, all three indicated a desire to respond, but Emma was the first to speak, as Anna and Chris did not attempt to speak again after seeing this.

When I saw this, I focused my attention on what Emma was saying.

"Hehe, I got a treasure this time Ace," Emma said, displaying a side of herself I hadn't seen in a long time.

It was the gamer personality. This was the one I first met her with before meeting the curious one, the magical genius, and then the helpful and righteous one.

Now that I think about it, that's a lot of different personalities.

Emma spoke again as I was thinking about these things.

"Guess what grade I got," she said, as I gave a glance before responding.

"I don't guess, it's stressful," and Emma made a tongue-clicking sound that I assumed indicated annoyance before continuing.

"Pass it to me so I can see it," she said as she threw the manual in my direction.

Thankfully, I was quick enough to react and catch it, as it would have been stressful to stand up and take it from the floor if it had been further away.

It didn't help that she didn't hold back and threw the manual at me with a good portion of her strength.

I'm not sure if this was because she forgot she wasn't a normal human and had powers that spoke against common sense before the apocalypse, or if she did it on purpose.

Having taken the manual that was thrown to me, I threw mine at Emma to look at as Anna and Chris showed a sluggish reaction to Emma and my sudden exchange.

I ignored the two and returned my attention to the exercise manual in my hands.

The manual in my hands had the same black leather cover as the one I received as a reward for completing the quest, and it was slightly larger than the one I received.

The image drawn on the cover of the manual distinguished it from the one I received as a reward.

Unlike mine, which was an image of a human sitting cross-legged with his arms spread across his lap, surrounded by a strange-looking unstable fire that coated the cross-legged figure, the one in my hand was densely packed with images of magic circles, each with a ball in the center.

And, like the manual I received, I had no idea what the images on the manual's surface meant.

There were some strange letters written beneath the image as well, and they were not in the same language as the ones in my manual.

Fortunately, it was also a language I recognized, and when I read what the letters meant, the words 'Mana Compression' popped into my head.

Of course, I still checked the manual with the primordial chronicle to learn more about the manual, no matter how little it was based on my previous experiences.

[Rank 1 Low Rare Grade Magic Exercise Manual-Mana Compression],

The practice exercise teaches how to compress one's mana numerous times to make it purer and denser.

...

'Another Rank 1 treasure,' I thought, wondering if Anna and Chris had manuals of the same grade.

Aside from the grade, there was something else on the panel in front of me that drew my attention.

The terms purer and denser.

The term purer reminded me of something.

It was the basic mana circulation technique I had always wanted to buy.

If my memory serves me correctly, the Basic mana circulation technique will increase the total amount of mana in the body while slightly purifying it.

The effect of the basic circulation technique should have something similar to the manual but of course, the value of the manual was way far above it so the effect would be better.

I also had the gold coins required to buy the basic mana circulation technique but I was no longer interested in it since I have gotten something better.

As I thought of this, I turned to Emma who turned to also face me and spoke.

"You got a nice one", I said to Emma as she nodded in response.

Although I haven't opened the manual to check what it actually was, I had some ideas of what the manual could do and what it meant when it said to make the mana purer and denser since there were some things about these two in the basic alchemy knowledge in my head.

Unlike the first time, I did not know most things when I first received the basic alchemy knowledge, I was now a little more knowledgeable than then because I'd been able to digest some of its information.

But, in comparison to the relatively vast knowledge in my head, there were many things I hadn't digested yet.

But this isn't a problem because it only takes time.

As I considered this, I turned to Emma and tossed the manual in her direction as I stood up to stretch my legs before turning to sit on another chair under the strange gaze of my teammates.

After that, I turned to look at Chris and Anna and spoke as I addressed them.

"What did you get?" I asked, and as soon as I did, Emma threw the two manuals in her hands to Anna and Chris, and by the way she threw them, I confirmed my earlier suspicions that her previous action was intentional.

'What a strange girl,' I thought as I watched Anna and Chris throw the manuals in their hands after Emma handed them over the two manuals.

After obtaining the manuals, Emma threw one towards me, and fortunately, I was prepared as I caught the Manual she threw purposefully in the wrong direction close to me that my hand could barely reach.

While I was perplexed by her sudden strange actions, I ignored them and turned to look at the manual in my hand, while Emma clicked her tongue when she saw this. However, when I saw the grade of the manual in my hand, I was confused and turned to look at Emma, who was also looking at me with a perplexed expression on her face.

Perhaps the manual in her hand was the same grade as the one in my hand.

'Is there something going on?' I wondered as I turned to look at the manual's information again.
