Alchemy

 It is the heart that breathes life into various paths

 The basis of the paths are potions that grant a set of abilities to the user

 Without alchemy there would be no paths, even people who follow systems other than the paths rely on alchemy to create potions or pills to increase strength.

 In my world there was chemistry, which was a discipline similar to alchemy in many ways

 By coincidence, I was studying this specialty at the university before I went to war

 Unfortunately, I was not able to complete my university studies because of what happened to me

 After wandering through various worlds, I got other opportunities to study chemistry, but in a different way

 The subject of alchemy captivated me from the beginning and I had a passion for this field

 Was it difficult?

 It was like hell

 I felt like I was a student who had to complete ten lectures in one night because he had an exam in the morning

 The difference is that the student will be psychologically relieved after the exams are over, while I am forced to feel this way all the time

 I would have been more than happy to be an alchemist, but circumstances have forced me to take a combative path

 However, I did not give up my passion for alchemy, and I made sure to read all the books I obtained about potions and the materials used in them.

 I wasn't a special case or anything like that

 Most fighters made sure they knew the ingredients of the potions they were going to use. They were not foolish to take potions they did not know the contents of.

 There were many veteran fighters who were studying potions from other paths because by knowing the components of their enemies' potions and their effects, they would be able to identify the weaknesses of each path and exploit them to their advantage.

 It required a lot of study to collect and accumulate knowledge

 There was no such thing as a talent that suddenly appeared every ten billion years

 Everyone was starting from the same point

 The person who can collect the greatest amount of knowledge and information will outperform others

 It depends on your effort

 This was one of the few fair things in this chaotic and random world

 As someone who wanted to increase his strength to survive, I had to learn the different potions

 After I decided to create a new club, I had to choose the club's name and goal

 Chemistry

 This is the idea that came to my mind

 In fact, I had an idea for a moment about opening a gourmet club, but it would be strange if I went to the Academy Council and asked them to give me permission to open such a club.

 Plus I won't be able to get money from this club

 Who would give money to a club where all the members do is eat all the time?

 This was too good to be true

So, I resorted to a backup plan

 If I tell them about the Chemistry Club, it will be more convincing and at the same time I will get materials from the academy to make the potions I need.

 This was more than satisfactory to me

 The next step is to gather members for the club

 The more members I collect, the more I get... I mean, I get money for the club

 I already had people in mind that I could invite to the club

 It's time to activate the 'Gather Club Members' plan.

 Layla was sitting on a chair while Diana was sitting across from her on the bed

 There was a look of disbelief on Layla's face. "Do you mean that the letter you received from Alexander was not a love letter?"

 " This is correct." Diana nodded

 "Nooooo." Layla covered her face with her hands and screamed

 She wanted to bury herself out of shame

 She went to Alexander and started scolding him because he sent a love letter to her younger sister, but now it turned out that Alexander was innocent.

 Now she understood the reason for the strange looks Alexander was giving her

 He must have thought I had lost my mind

 Layla looked at Anastasia with puppy eyes. "Anastasia, is there a way to turn back time?"

 Anastasia shook her head. "Unfortunately, Your Majesty, what happened has already happened and there is no way back."

 Layla covered her face with her hands again and started screaming

 Anastasia sighed

 She advised Layla to go to Diana to find out the content of the letter before going to Alexander

 But Layla's anger blinded her and made her go to Alexander directly

 Even she doesn't know how she's supposed to act if she meets Alexander in the future

 Should she apologize on Layla's behalf?

 Layla's pride prevented her from apologizing to Alexander, even if she was at fault

 So Anastasia will bear this burden instead of Layla

"I'm leaving..." Layla got up and left immediately

 She wants to lock herself in her room for a while

 Diana let out a relieved breath

 She told Layla that Alexander was delivering a message sent by instructor Christina asking her to come and discuss some matters

 Layla believed her story straight away and did not doubt for a moment that she was lying or ask for details

 Looks like I'm safe now.

 Layla left the girls' dormitory, heading towards the second-year classrooms

 -----------------------

 Alexander walked towards the girls' dormitory

 It was forbidden for any boy to enter that building at night, but it was normal for boys to visit that place in the morning

 His goal was to invite the first member to the new club

 When he reached the entrance of the dormitory, Layla and Anastasia came out

 "Ladies." Alexander smiled and nodded politely without stopping walking

 "....." Layla stared at Alexander's back

 Even though she talked to him roughly, he still smiled and greeted her when they met

 This made her feel even more guilty

 "Don't think about it too much." Anastasia noticed Layla's abnormality and said: "He seems to be pretending this conversation isn't happening. We might as well do the same."

 Layla sighed and continued on her way

 Alexander walked through the hallway of the building, looking for Diana's room

 "Room 102..." He stood in front of a room bearing the number 102

 Adjusting his appearance and putting a friendly smile on his face, he must use his skill to convince Diana to join the club

 knock! Knock!

 After Alexander knocked on the door twice, the door opened slowly

 Diana gasped when she saw the visitor standing in front of her door and took a step back

 "...." What's with this strange reaction?

 Did someone tell her that I bite people?

 Alexander maintained his smile and said. "Princess Diana, this is our second meeting, but I could not introduce myself well."

 Alexander placed his hand on his chest. "I'm Alexander Ford, second year."

 Diana looked at Alexander warily

 She was initially surprised when she saw Alexander in front of her, which made her take a step back

 Her reaction was instinctive out of fear even though she realized that her action was impolite

 Diana regained her composure. "I'm Diana Xerjoff, first year. Nice to meet you."

 "Princess Diana, would you like to join my club?"

 "No..." Diana shook her head directly and without hesitation

 "..." It seemed like this would be a difficult task
