Alchemist In The Apocalypse: Rise Of A Legend!

Dungeon Quest Rewards.

[Ace POV],

[Rare Grade Magic Exercise-Mana Enlargement],

The practice exercise for expanding the mana pool.

...

Looking at the information on the manual in my hands, I knew it had to be the one Anna got from her quest because she was the only one on the team who wanted to do a magic exercise besides Emma, Chris, and me.

This exercise appears to be all about increasing a person's mana reserve, or rather, mana pool, to new levels.

If my reasoning is correct, then this exercise, combined with Emma's exercise, could be a great combination that produces even better results.

While the exercise was already satisfying in that it was not the same one Emma received, I was still perplexed about something, and that was the grade of the manual.

It was a rare grade item, and while it was far superior to nothing, I wouldn't be lying if I said I expected it to be a rank 1 Rare Grade item.

It wouldn't even bother me if it was a rank 1 low Rare Grade item, but it wasn't even that and was lower.

Since Emma and I both received rank 1 Rare Grade items, I assumed Anna and Chris would receive the same, so while I was curious about the grade of the reward from their quest, my thought process was that it would be the same grade as ours or a rank 1 low Rare Grade item, which did not occur.

It appears that I was thinking a little too much when I predicted that we would all see four rank 1 Rare Grade items today in one day, but even so, I wonder if Emma and I were able to have rank 1 items because of our luck, or if there was something else at work that divided us.

And, while the idea of someone having a hand in this was a little far-fetched, I already had someone in mind who could pull it off.

It was the guardian.

If anyone had given me the impression that they could do anything, it was the guardian.

This was someone who could communicate with the mysterious primordial chronicle and was also in charge of the specific challenge trial we had to complete to enter the true world.

A figure like this, no matter how you look at it, should not be ordinary.

As I reflected on this, I turned back to the manual in my hands and realized that whether it was a natural occurrence or the result of someone's actions, we got something in the end, which was the most important thing.

As I considered this, I turned to Emma and asked her to pass the other manual in her hands to me while she took the one in mine.

After telling her this, we exchanged manuals again, and this time, unlike the previous times, Emma threw the manual to me normally.

After that, I turned to look at the manual in my hands. The cover of this manual, like the others, was made of black leather, and what distinguished it from the others was the image drawn on the surface of the cover.

Unlike the others, which had slightly more complicated images, this one was rather straightforward. The image drawn on the surface of the cover was a human figure on his feet with his hands spread out, and while Emma and I had different language manuals, this one was the same as the one in the Anna book, and like before, I used the letters under the image to form a word, which came out as 'Elemental Body' in my head.

Seeing this, I checked its information with the primordial chronicle.

[Rare Grade Physique Exercise Manual-Elemental Body],

The practice exercise teaches how to create an elemental body by incorporating elements.

...

Chris's manual, like Anna's, was of the rare grade, but as I said, it was better than nothing.

If there had been no rank 1 rare-grade treasure before I saw these two, I would have considered them treasure instead, but everything worked out in the end.

Even though I hadn't started doing any of the exercises listed here, I could tell that my busy days were about to get busier.

Tomorrow is the day when everyone will have to split up to focus on their respective job quest, and I was going alone. In addition, I had a timer set for my job, so I couldn't slack, and too much rest wasn't an option for me. Aside from that, I needed to practice alchemy for myself and for my quest, and on top of that, I needed to practice the rare grade exercises.

'There's still a long way to go,' I thought as Anna's voice jolted me out of my reverie.

"How come Chris and my own are only rare grades?" "And what's up with this language and these strange letters?" Anna asked, a pout on her face. "How exactly are we supposed to read it?" Anna said as she opened the manual and skimmed through the pages, an exhausted expression on her face, as Chris nodded beside her.

Hearing this made me realize that these two should not have brought the basic universal language just yet.

I was about to speak and say it to them when I noticed Emma was going to do the same, so I didn't try to speak and instead watched Emma speak to the two.

Though we had exercise to do now or whatever it was, we couldn't start now as it was basically up to whoever wanted to practice the exercise, and I wasn't going to start now.

I had other matters to attend to. For instance, there was a specific item in my storage ring.

Only after all of this was completed would I have time to fully focus on my goals, and it wasn't like I needed days to take care of these issues.

As I was thinking of these things, the conversation between Emma, Chris, and Anna had already ended seeing as Anna and Chris had purchased the basic universal language.

After that, Anna suddenly stood up and spoke while holding the sleeping Mia in her arms.

"Now that we've done everything we need to contribute here, we'll excuse you," she said; "I want to explore the mansion," she said, as I and Emma nodded in response.

Seeing this, I suspected it was because she knew what Emma and I wanted to do next that she used this excuse to leave us, which seemed unnecessary to me since it didn't matter whether she was here or not.

And perhaps she did want to explore the mansion rather than stay here and listen to dungeon matters in which she did not participate.

As I reflected on these thoughts, I noticed Chris accompanying Anna, leaving only Emma and me in the room.

So, I guess it's time to check out the dungeon reward.
