Chapter 6 The Scholarship of Irises Knight Preliminary School and the Surge of Strength

"Really? Really?"

Alice raised her voice all of a sudden, and then the door was opened abruptly.

"Ahem, I mean, Tristan is drunk again. How could he give such a ridiculous comment?"

Alice was stunned and blushed.

She couldn't believe that her brother Marcus had mastered the basic swordsmanship perfectly and was praised by Mr. Tristan.

Although Marcus was the most hardworking student in Irises Knight Preliminary School, his talent was so poor that Alice suspected that a little dog on the roadside could be promoted by one or two grades if it was cultivated with the intensity of Marcus's training.

"Isn't the basic swordsmanship practice perfect as long as you have hands?"

Marcus closed the book in his hand and looked at his sister in confusion.

"Well, don't make a fuss. Don't underestimate your handsome brother!"

Marcus then turned around. He thought Alice was making a fuss. Her brother was about to start a new life.

Alice looked at her brother's back in a daze. Why didn't she find that this man was so shameless before?

"Father, I need 50 gold coins." Marcus went downstairs to the living room and said to Baron Orne with a smile.

"Well, boy, tell me, did you do something wrong? Why do you need so much money all of a sudden?"

Sitting on the sofa, the baron put down the newspaper and looked at his son in confusion. He knew very well that although Marcus didn't have the talent of practice, he was not like any other playboy who enjoyed life and did anything wrong. Logically speaking, he wouldn't need so much money.

"Father, here is the thing." Marcus immediately told Baron Orne what Mr. Tristan said about him.

"Okay! Ha-ha." The baron laughed happily.

Talent?

How could he master the skill so quickly?

Marcus was recognized by the strict Tristan. Baron Orne was quite relieved, which meant that their family would have a chance to have an outstanding knight!

"Come to my room."

Knowing that Marcus wanted to increase his strength and needed to swallow a large number of spiritual herbs, Baron Orne stood up after a moment's reflection and then went upstairs.

Marcus hurried to catch up with him.

"Take these."

In the room, Baron Orne handed a bag of gold coins on the table to Marcus, and then took out a bottle of medicine from the cupboard.

"This is the one-year tax of our clan's territory, just 100 gold coins, and this bottle of strength drug, take it."

Strength drug! He didn't expect to have such a good thing at home.

Marcus took the gold coins and medicine from the baron and said, "Father, I won't fail the family's support for me."

"Study hard. Go ahead!" Baron Orne waved his hand.

Marcus returned to his room. Instead of taking the strength drug, he opened Alice's book and read it carefully.

...

The second day.

Marcus came to the library of Irises Knight Preliminary School early.

Last night, he had read a book about plants for a whole night and found that there was no mention of spiritual herbs that could increase his strength. He could only come to the library to look up the information.

"What a pity! My horseshoe cake." Marcus thought bitterly.

After that, Marcus borrowed a lot of books about magic materials in the library.

"How the Medicine Is Made"

"Basic Pharmacy"

"Pharmacy: from Entry to Mastery"

Looking at the files piled up on the table, Marcus felt a headache. But to enhance strength and to be more powerful in the future, he had to try his best to read them.

"Marcus, the library is about to close. Come back tomorrow."

The aged administrator looked at the handsome boy in front of him helplessly and shook his head.

"Ah..." Marcus was stunned. He didn't expect that he had been reading books for a whole day, but the result had been achieved. He had found a lot of materials that could increase his strength.

...

Marcus returned to his apartment and took out a bottle of drugs.

Yes, this was the strength drug that his father gave him.

Marcus opened the bottle and slowly poured the drug into his mouth. Then he carefully felt the change of his body.

A warm stream flowed from the throat to the abdomen, and then from the abdomen to all the limbs.

Marcus opened his eyes and clenched his fists. He felt that his strength had been increased a lot.

It was estimated to be three times more effective than before. The drug was indeed extraordinary.

Marcus thought to himself.

But it was probably because it was the first time he drank the drug that he had taken such a strong effect, and then the increasing speed would slow down.

By the way!

Marcus came to the desk, found a pen and a piece of paper, and quickly wrote down 19 names of the medicinal materials.

Anyone proficient in medicine would find that these were the materials needed to refine strength drug!

"When I felt my body just now, I could only analyze these ingredients." Marcus thought to himself.

The next day.

Marcus went to the pharmacy in the city early in the morning and bought all 19 kinds of medicinal materials according to the list last night.

"Fortunately, my father gave me money. Otherwise, I couldn't afford so many herbs."

Looking at the expensive bill, Marcus thought sadly.

Well, in ancient times, Shen Nong tasted all kinds of herbs. Today, I, Marcus, would try the herbs!

...

After a try, Marcus found that the blue orange grass could significantly improve his strength.

"I guess this is the main ingredient of the strength drug,

I'll start my hellish training tomorrow! "Marcus said happily.

Therefore, the pharmacy owner in the city found that the sales of the blue orange grass had suddenly increased sharply recently. After asking the shop assistant, he knew that it was the young man having a poor talent from Baron Orne's family who had bought a lot.

Three days later.

In front of the wooden stake on the training ground.

"Clap!"

"Clap!"

"Clap!"

A handsome student waved his sword again and again to chop the wooden pile. Every time he waved his sword, there was a whistling wind.

It was Marcus.

In the past three days, he kept eating the blue orange grass and crazily practiced basic swordsmanship.

After eating and practicing.

Then practicing and eating.

Now Marcus wanted to throw up when he saw the blue orange grass! But his efforts paid off. Marcus felt that his physique strength had been greatly improved, and his strength had reached a level-4 knight apprentice!

What did grade-one level-4 knight apprentice mean?

If Burger's level-3 knight apprentice was a genius, then Marcus's level-4 knight apprentice could match all the geniuses of the same grade!

"Strength is enough for the time being, but the speed and spirit power is a little unable to keep up."

Marcus thought to himself.

It would be great if I could have the speed medicine and the spirit medicine to analyze the ingredients.

Marcus was in a dilemma.

He had no money left.

He had to find a way to make money. He could make strength drugs and sell them. It was not difficult for him to make it by his magic talent at the middle level. But it also needed magic tools, materials, and books.

Still no money!

He could ask his family for it, but the more than 100 gold coins had been the tax of the family for nearly a year.

Borrow money from Alice? I heard that she has a lot of scholarships...

"You'd better rely on yourself!" Marcus looked up at the sky and sighed. With his strength, it should be easy for him to get a first-class scholarship from the school.

Who would have thought that the little loser without talent a few days ago would now become a bottomless hole for resources?
