“You actually had a monster do that kind of thing to a girl?”
“And, and you even added an estrus potion to it?”
“Eeeeek!!!”
Looking at the blue-green potion in her hand, a look of horror appeared on Vanessa's face. Her small hand trembled, and the vial instantly slipped and shattered on the ground.
Glass shards scattered everywhere as the liquid inside spilled onto the floor. A moment later, it instantly vaporized into countless fumes, blending into the air.
Seeing Ain turn his gaze toward her, Vanessa fearfully clutched her chest, stammering in a state of shock, “Y-You! You're worse than a beast!”
“Don't come any closer! What are you trying to do?!”
“And you claimed you were helping Erylin... Don't tell me you want to use this potion on me to, to...”
Vanessa imagined the scandalous scenarios from web novels, her face flushing so red that her heart hammered in her chest.
Ain looked at Vanessa, utterly bewildered.
“This only works on monsters. What are you thinking?”
“Eh? You didn't say that earlier!”
“Should I add something that works on humans next time, then?”
“Don't you dare!”
Ain watched the departing backs of the students, shrugged, and said, “Don't worry. Crafting an estrus potion that works on humans is no simple task.”
“After all, a monster's resilience is far greater than a human's. If a normal human took an estrus potion of the same concentration, their body would literally explode.”
Vanessa breathed a sigh of relief and remarked, “So that's how it is.”
“Though it's difficult to make, that doesn't mean I don't know how.”
Ain smiled confidently. “I can even adjust the proportions of the ingredients to make it so that the target's heart races and they only think of producing offspring, without making them completely lose control of their lower body and act like beasts.”
“How about that? Potionology is pretty amazing, isn't it?”
Ain spoke proudly, but then he suddenly recalled the pink potion Lillian had handed to Erylin before they set off.
That bottle was one of his experimental products—an aphrodisiac crafted without using Soul-Shattering Howl as a baseline, meaning it had absolutely no harmful side effects on the human body.
As for why Ain had made it in the first place... it was because Lillian had gotten jealous when she saw him preparing all sorts of protective potions for Erylin.
Ain vaguely remembered Lillian throwing a fuss back then, demanding that he make some potions for her too.
Naturally, given Lillian's personality, they were bound to be highly inappropriate.
Ain hadn't agreed at first, but in the end, he couldn't win against Lillian's pestering. Under the condition of “Lillian, you can't use this yourself,” he had brewed a bottle for her.
Then, right before they departed, Lillian had handed that very bottle to Erylin along with a bunch of nonsense.
Ain hadn't thought much of it at the time.
After all...
Did she think everyone was like her? With a head full of dirty thoughts and romance novels?
It was laughable. How could Erylin possibly use something like that?
Uh, she wouldn't, right?
Vanessa: “???”
In the end, Vanessa had still underestimated Ain.
Could someone actually brew something like that?
The field of potionology, which textbooks described as a discipline that changed history and advanced human civilization, was actually being used for this kind of thing?!
No, that wasn't the main point!
Recalling Ain's reputation at school and his usual behavior, Vanessa suddenly realized just how terrifying it would be if he possessed such things.
“Hey, why are you looking at me like that? Just because I can make it doesn't mean I'll use it. Only someone with a truly filthy, shameless, and depraved mind would want this kind of low-class trash...”
Before he could finish, Imeve leaned in from the side, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Ain.
“Hey, hey, Ain.”
“Can you make a bottle of that potion for me?”
This time, it was Ain's turn to be dumbfounded.
“What do you want it for?”
“For my collection! Just for collection, okay!”
Looking at the highly expectant Imeve, Ain wanted to say something, but Vanessa spoke up at that exact moment.
“Wait, I want one too!”
“Huh?”
“Yeah! As the Boss, you're supposed to distribute supplies to your subordinates. You can't just give one to her!”
Vanessa pointed at Imeve.
Ain could never have imagined that there were actually two of those filthy, shameless, and depraved people standing right in front of him.
As for whether it was truly for 'collection,' only the girls themselves knew.
After Ain promised to brew the potions for them once they returned to school, the two finally stopped pestering him.
Vanessa pouted and said, “Where on earth did you learn all this... I recall that even the potionology professors can't brew so many potions on a whim like you do.”
“With such achievements in potionology, I'm surprised I had never heard your name before this...”
“The most famous student in potionology should be the one who ranks first every single time... V-Violet, right?”
“I remember at the dining table before, didn't she even beg you to do experiments with her?”
“You're only a second-year. It's one thing to know Tier 4 magic, but to think even your potionology is...”
Vanessa mentally went over everything Ain had done so far, only to realize that he was so terrifyingly capable that he didn't seem like a student at all.
“You actually know so much!”
“No wonder Erylin told me back in the dorms that there was always a student in the academy who was even more amazing than she was!”
Ain waved his hand, completely indifferent.
“I'm just keeping a low profile.”
“Uh-huh, I really can't tell.”
Just as Ain was about to head to Erylin's ward, Imeve, who had been deep in thought for a long time, asked, “Ain, since you can make so many potions, there must be plenty of ways to restrict Contract Spirits, right?”
“Why did you have to choose an estrus potion of all things?”
Ain chuckled and replied, “To disgust them, of course!”
Imeve and Vanessa instantly froze.
Ain walked into the distance, replying as he went, “The news of Erylin fainting and being hospitalized has already spread.”
“Guess what those guys hiding behind the scenes will think? To ensure their plan goes off without a hitch, they must be rushing over in a panic right now.”
Ain smiled wickedly, a hint of madness flashing in his eyes.
“When they realize they can't use magic to disperse the potion in this area, won't they summon their own Contract Spirits to help?”
“Tell me, how would it feel to be forced upon by your own monster?”
“Those bastards who dared to disgust me in the first playthrough, I'm definitely going to disgust them right back!”
“Ahahahahaha!”
Imeve and Vanessa both came to a single conclusion.
Ain was insane.
...
“It's coming again! It's coming again!”
“Doesn't this thing get tired of running?! It literally crashed into the wall so many times while chasing us!”
“I beg you! Hurry up and unsummon it!”
“Sob, sob, sob! Nicole refuses to go back!”
The students fled in panic, finally bursting out of the main building's entrance at the very last moment.
“We're almost out!”
One student shouted, refusing to stop for even a second. He had absolutely no desire to look back and see that massive, erect object charging toward him.
Focused entirely on running, just as he was about to rush out the doors, he crashed headfirst into a broad chest.
“Ugh... Can't you see we're in the middle of—”
The student was about to complain, but when he saw the person's face clearly, he gasped in surprise.
“Professor Cassian?!”
“You actually came!”
Cassian nodded slightly. Looking at the panicking students before him, he asked in confusion, “What are you doing? Was there an explosion here just now?”
“Wait, why does the air here smell a bit off?”
Sensing the strange blue-green gas filling the air, Cassian took a sniff but didn't feel anything wrong with it.
“There's a guy calling himself Nolan! He even said he's the number one cadre of the Nightingale Secret Order!”
“Professor Cassian, don't stay here! Run!”
Cassian frowned.
As a proud Tier 6 Mage, what kind of situation hadn't he faced?
Telling him to run?
How ridiculous.
Cassian dismissively brushed the dust off his shoulder. Just as he took a step in the opposite direction of the students, he saw the out-of-control horned deer and instantly froze.
The Twilight Forest Spirit Deer was charging toward him at high speed, thrusting a massive, erect xxxxxx right in front of it.
Wait, what?
What the fuck is this thing?!
