Life After Prison by Silencieux novel Chapter 2005

After suppressing her excitement, Emery gestured respectfully to Severin and said, "I can't help but wonder how far you've progressed in alchemy. I feel like I've been enlightened by your advice."

The excited look on Emery's face led Severin to smile calmly. "I am making preparations to become a seventh-grade alchemist!"

It had been nearly two months since he became a sixth-grade high-rank alchemist, and after digesting the knowledge passed down to him in the Alchemy Tower, Severin had a better idea of how he could become a seventh-grade alchemist. By his estimation, it would not be long until he achieved that.

Emery's jaw dropped upon learning that Severin was already preparing to become a seventh-grade alchemist. As far as she knew, Severin was only a sixth-grade medium-rank alchemist when she lost to him in the contest. Seeing him about to be promoted to a seventh-grade alchemist gave her the impression that breakthroughs in alchemy came naturally to him!

As a prodigy of the Sixth Mountain, she was considered one of the more talented individuals, yet it had taken her nearly two years to progress from a fifth-grade high-rank alchemist to a sixth-grade alchemist. Considering her current progress as a sixth-grade medium-rank alchemist, she had no idea just how much time she would need to reach seventh-grade alchemist.

'Perhaps coming to Pearl Light Isle was the correct decision!' Emery thought to herself.

Emery's silence made Severin wonder if she had any doubts, so he said, "Is there anything else you don't understand?"

"No, I'm good for now." Emery shook her head after coming back to her senses.

Severin nodded and took out much alchemy material which he handed to Emery. "You'll be required to prepare some Crystal Spring Pills once every fortnight."
