My name is Ben, I am an apprentice adventurer, today I'm in charge of supplies for a training excercise and my task was to buy recovery pills. Unfortunately today is my unlucky day because all the shops I visited to was all sold out of pills. I was about to give up and face the music but I noticed a small shop around the corner that sells pills. The shop has a strange name 'Eccentric Slime Emporium', I quickly found out that the products he sells were strange and dubious as well, as the pills were called slime pills, this is a scam I thought but I really couldn't bear to face the music so I just bought a thousand red slime pills and a thousand blue slime pills. I'm not really expecting anything and I'm probably gonna be scolded that I wasted the money but what is done is done. I quickly returned to the adventurers guild and handed the pills to receptionist who then distributed it to the whole guild, our guild branch in Rosenberg city is large you know. My hole I dug just got deeper.
Our group got ready to go to slime forest, there we fought lots of slimes, there were plenty of injuries left and right, surprisingly none of them is complaining, what the heck is going on, weren't the pills I bought a scam pill?.
"Ben" my captain called to me.
"Yes captain?" I replied nervously.
"I'm sorry captain" I replied reactively.
"Why are you sorry?"Asked Captain.
"It's about those pills, I bought them from a dubious shop, I'm sorry if they are not working right." I said in a sad voice ready to accept my punishment.
"Actually its about that, the pills work fine in fact the pills were actually delicious instead of the bitter ones we usually get, I actually came to ask you where you bought it at."Asked his captain.
"Ehh, so I'm not in trouble?."
"No you're not, so tell me where you bought it at?"
"It's at the far end corner at Marcus street where the unpopular products are sold, the shops name is 'eccentric slime emporium'." Said Ben earnestly.
"I see, we better order our pills from there from now on, we got better praises from our members about the pills."
"Okay captain."
Meanwhile at the other side of Rosenberg city at the gate of Rosenberg magical institute, A male teen was pacing back and forth waiting for his wife.
"Honey sorry to keep you waiting."
"Anything for you Jessica."
"Oh Jerry your so caring." Said Jessica.
"Oh here Jessica, your birth day present." Said Jerry as he handed her a pair of bracelets.
"Thank you honey, they're beautiful, what are they called?" Asked a curious Jessica.
"They're called bracelet of intelligence, they're supposed to increase your intelligence I bought them at 5 gold each, there were a few of them that increases other traits but the shop owner recommended this one because the recipient was a mage." Said Jerry.
"Silly Jerry it's probably a scam, still it's beautiful I better go now, it's time for my test to be a full fledge magician wish me luck." Said Jessica.
"Good luck Jessica."
"Thanks."
At the Magic testing area Jessica was feeling calm she answered the written portion test of the exam calmly which was strange, she was a nervous wreck, she knew it and in fact her classmates knew it, so it felt very weird when she was calm, the second part of the test and also the final was the practical application of magic, they were asked to demonstrate the basics of magic. Half of the class produced only one basic spell and all the excellent students produces two spells or more, the students each performed one by one until it was Jessica's turn, she expected to fail this test or barely pass as she only has a small mana capacity, but surprisingly, she was able to cast all the four basic spells fireball, waterball, windblade and earthwall splendidly and she scored the highest which surprised her and the instructors as they checked everyone's mana capacity and Jessica's result were average.
Everyone quickly asked her how she did it but she only could remember that her husband told her about her gift the intelligence bracelets.
The rumors quickly spread and it reached the ears of the principal of the Rosenberg magic insitute about said intelligence bracelet. Said principal asked Jesica if they could truly test the bracelets if it was indeed an intelligence boosting item. It didn't take long, the results were positive and it caused an uproar to all the students, items increasing ones traits were increasingly rare and hoarded by the royal family and they found one here in the hands of Jesica.
"But that's impossible, my husband said to have bought this at 5 gold each and he said there were other items that boost other traits but the shop owner sold this one to him because the recipient was a magician." Explained Jessica which shocked the academy.
Jessica quickly called her husband to the magic institute about the information on where he bought these bracelets which surprised him at first but divulged it that he bought it at a shop called 'Eccentric Slime Emporium, at Marcus street.
"You mean that unpopular street?" Asked Jessica.
"Yes." Answered Jerry honestly.
Jessica and the others present in the room where they interrogated her husband quickly caused an uproar, this can only mean one thing, there was someone who was a master alchemist in Rosenberg City.
News quickly spread about the rumor of a master alchemist in Rosenberg city and the shop that was closed all week was strictly watched, there were many people trying to verify the rumor but the shop was empty.
Meanwhile, Zed was completely oblivious to his growing fame.
