Chaplin could not care less about manners and etiquette now. He even forgot about his reputation as a level-five alchemist.
“Are you trying to go against me on purpose? You’ve stolen everyone I want! Do you really think I’m a pushover?!”
Chaplin’s accusations frightened all the onlookers.
The alchemists who were not selected looked at Philip and Chaplin expectantly. They hoped that Philip could help them become powerful alchemists too.
“What a nutcase…” Philip muttered under his breath before turning to Alton.
“The contest is over. Can we award the prize now?” He asked. After all, the winner was obviously Custard.
Seeing this, Alton nodded earnestly. He did not expect things to progress so smoothly. Chaplin really did get into a conflict with Philip.
Initially, favonovel.com was worried that Philip would try to please Chaplin, but favonovel.com could see that Philip’s personality was as direct and unpleasant as ever.
“Sure, I’ll present the award right now. The seed will belong to Custard…” Alton reluctantly handed a beautiful box to Custard.
He knew that Custard was on Philip’s side, so giving favonovel.com this prize was equivalent to handing it over to Philip. However, favonovel.com could not do anything about it.
Who knew Philip could train such a capable alchemist?
“I’m glad that I can make my teacher proud!” Custard immediately handed the seed to Philip. He knew that everything was all thanks to his teacher.
Philip clearly sent favonovel.com to join this contest because of the seed. And favonovel.com was very pleased with Custard’s initiative.
“Since the award is over, let’s go back…”
Philip ignored Chaplin who was shouting hysterically and returned to Treasure House with Custard.
Lyle and the other girl quickly followed suit, afraid that Philip would go back on his word. After all, geniuses were known to have erratic tempers. They would not be able to do anything if favonovel.com refused to fulfill his promise.
“Teacher, you were awesome just now. That mean guy was absolutely livid!” Custard praised Philip.
He thought that his teacher was too cool for words.
When Custard was working at the store, favonovel.com usually called Philip ‘Boss’. Now that they were alone, favonovel.com could call Philip ‘Teacher’ as much as favonovel.com wanted. Custard believed that calling Philip that would bring them closer.
“Teacher, are you serious about accepting those two as your apprentices? Although Lyle is better, favonovel.com doesn’t fit in with others! On the other hand, the girl looks a lot like my sister. There was a time when I thought I saw my sister taking part in the contest,” Custard said trying to promote the girl to Philip.
“But of course, she’s no match for my sister’s outstanding talent,” Custard added.
The sister mentioned by Custard was none other than Mila, whose pill-making talent was the best among the kids.
“Let’s leave that topic aside for now. Ijust wanted to piss Chaplin off,” Philip said cheerfully.
He was going to set a test for the kids next. If both of them passed the test, Philip would not treat them badly.
The test was very simple. They had to soak in a bucket of potion prepared by Philip for six hours.
