Hikari: Rise Of The Weapons Master

"You are going to play now?" Emma asked as she looked around her new room.

To her, the entire room oozed the word luxury.

There was a king-sized bed, carpet on the floor, an empty closet, and the room temperature could be changed on will using her phone watch.

The pink-haired woman had never seen such a place before, much less live in one.

"Well, Jack and Marcus are online now so I have to train them a little. Though they have a huge potential to become an expert in alchemy and have created a few pills, there are still a few things that I have to train them to do." Zack replied as he left the room to let Emma explore it.

'I wonder how she will react when she will see the bathroom.' He thought with a smile before walking into his room and locking the door.

[ If you have any problems, Mia, immediately message me ] Zack sent a message to Mia and waited for her to read the message.

Surprisingly, she replied this time.

[ As you say, big brother ]

Somehow, the black-haired boy could feel sarcasm behind her words but he decided to ignore it for the time being.

After logging into Hikari again, Zack waited for the two boys to show up. While that happened, he went over the various skill books he had gotten from the war and had still not learned.

[ Water Gun: Shoot blasting water from your palm.

Can be used in two ways.

Cooldown: fifteen minutes

Note - Can be used 3 more times ]

​ [ Air Slash: Shoot two air slashes out of your hands.

Cooldown: fifteen minutes

Note - Can be used 3 times]

Zack didn't bother checking the last option since he was never going to use a bow. Chastiefol was enough for a long-ranged weapon too and he could more than enough use the flames and what not he had gained.

Shortly after he had learned both the skills, Marcus and Jack appeared in the white room together. They gave Zack a short bow before looking around with wide eyes.

The room didn't stand out to them but they knew that something special was present beyond the doors.

"Let's go see the alchemy rooms," Zack said with a small smile as he had the sudden desire to flaunt that the entire thing was his guild.

Maybe it was the thing called flexing.

After walking towards the top right room, Zack chose the alchemy rooms option and opened the door. This time, the doors led to a straight hallway and the three of them started walking forward.

Jack and Marcus were quiet the entire way but both of them were excited to see what the alchemy halls looked like.

Till then, the two boys had been doing alchemy in public alchemy halls with paying small amounts of rent or giving a few pills they had created as rent.

But now, things were going to be different.

The hall ended into splitting into five doors, each one having a sign saying 'unoccupied'. After looking at the signs, Zack chose the door in the middle and opened it.

"Wow…" Marcus muttered as his jaw dropped down when he saw the room. There were a total of ten tables in the entire room.

Cauldrons ranging from different sizes to shape, height, etc. were visible in the corner of the room. After looking around the room again, the white-haired boy turned to look at Marcus and Jack.

"Tell me what alchemy is." Zack suddenly asked as Jack answered him before Marcus could open his mouth.

"You put the ingredients into a cauldron, light fire beneath it, mix them, and voila! You have a pill."

"Looks like I don't need to worry much. If you had given me an answer like alchemy is the process of giving birth to a creature in the form of a pill, we would have a lot to work on." Zack said with a smile as he transferred all the alchemy ingredients he had.

They appeared in the ingredients section of the place as he gave Marcus and Jack the "Go ahead and do what you want" look.

The two soon-to-be alchemy experts dashed forward and started their jobs. But the white-haired boy wasn't going to give them everything so easily.

"Now, you guys cannot leave this place until and unless you craft hundred healing pills."

""No problem."" Both of them replied at the same time as they started their work.

Most of the ingredients required for the pill were placed in the ingredients section and the duo themselves had the same stuff.

They then went ahead and picked cauldrons of their liking and placed them on the table. After tossing in a single set of ingredients, they ignited the cauldron with their flames and started mixing them.

The white-haired boy then decided to leave them alone before moving to his next goal.

'I have to become a count within a month and also become level 30…' Zack had to make sure that he reached the position of a count no matter what happened.

And to do that, he had to either increase his reputation in the Eizenburgh kingdom or take a special quest that would grant him the title.

Zack wasn't interested in getting more reputation since that would take him longer than he wanted. So instead, he was going to ask King Jonathan about his request which would lead to him unlocking a special quest.

If only he could threaten the king into directly handing him the title.

'But now that I had set the foundation for the alchemy business, I can use it to make him give me the quest.'

Even though they were plenty of alchemy masters better than Jack and Marcus, they could never match their growth speed and in the future, the duo would surpass them.

And Zack would make sure to make everyone known that they were his guildmates and were not available for buying like merchandise.

But till that time, he had a lot of things left to do.
