Reincarnated With A Glitched System: Why Is My MP Not Running Out?

Chapter 1262: The Different Schools Of Alchemy



"This is called {Shape Forge}, you use Alchemy Magic to change the molecular composition of an object through the usage of surplus mana. Not everything can become anything though, but this was compatible enough for a low-grade steel shape forging," she explained. "While Synthesist simply combine materials together, Forgers change the material into what they want."

"A-And what Geomancers do?" I asked.

"This," she said, suddenly touching a chocolate cheesecake. "{Elemental Deconstruction}"

FLASH!

A wave of Manas hit the cheesecake, suddenly, large mushrooms of all colors started growing out of it, and then released a poisonous spore?!

"W-What is that magic?!" Celeste cried.

"This is Geomancy, the ability to manipulate the basic elements of the world and conjure spells out of them. like grabbing ice to turn it into a snowstorm, sand into glass, touch the ground to create arms of stone, notice the fire to shape it into swords of flames, the water will become a bubble to protect you, the plants will transform into fruits to feed you, and cheesecake, made off with cheese can fungus, can turn into poisonous mushrooms," she laughed. "Amongst many other uses!"

"So we can conditionally wield all elements without even having affinity for them?" Celica wondered.

"Yeah, pretty much," nodded Felicia. "Impressed yet?"

"Yes, very!" Celeste nodded.

"It's fantastic..." I muttered.

"Don't worry about the poison, I've already neutralized it," Felicia smiled. "Although my main Elements were Fire and Ice, I was able to learn about their combined Element, Temperature. I use it in combination with Alchemy to create all sorts of things. And I can guarantee you, you have good talent for Alchemy, all three of you shall become much stronger."

I had never truly imagined that Alchemy was so varied, this entire time I always thought it was just to process materials and make new items. But it can actually be used in combat in a more flexible way? I had thought about some things using my Alchemy Skill, but they were simple things such as raising walls of stone and so on.

But the ability to transform a material into a another entirely? Or the power to conjure elements out of the environment? They were never things I imagined, and the latter didn't use spirits like Lara's magic either!

"Maybe with this I could make my golems stronger..." Celica said. "I wonder if I could merge it with my own special elements? I've been trying to add Phantom Magic into Alchemy, but it's a bit hard sometimes."

"Phantom Magic, huh? I don't have affinity for such a rare element myself, and although I could try wielding it using Geomancy, it might be hard to find a perfect environment for that," Felicia said. "But we could try to... find something together, little Celica."

"That would be nice!" Celica smiled. "I'm getting a bit pumped up now!"n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Hmm, I guess that's what we came here to learn, huh?" Celeste nodded. "However, it still can't really compare to the Inheritances everyone else is going to get..."

"Hey Celeste! Did you had to say that?!" I cried. "Don't be so rough..."

"Haha, it is fine," Felicia said with a calm smile. "I do understand where she's coming from. And certainly, compared to those ancient Inheritances, it might feel like it's a bit of a letdown, isn't it? Well, maybe you could think of my teachings as the inheritance? I have only taken two disciples through my entire life ever after all."

"Wait, so the alchemy you used is not widely used?" wondered Celeste.

"Not to such a big extent, no," she said. "As you thought before, alchemy is often thought to be just for synthesist. Forgers and Geomancers are very rare, less than ten in the entire world."

"Eh... Okay, maybe it's a bit more interesting now," Celeste wondered. "Ah, I'm sorry, I just talk shit out of my head without thinking beforehand... I've been a bit pensive about a lot of things, and I end up offending people without really meaning to..."

"It's fine, through my life I've faced many people that questioned me and said I was a fraud, or not comparable to the other heroes," Felicia said with a very relaxed personality. "You're but a child, learning about the world. It is the duty of us adults to guide you, and it is natural that ignorance might come out of your mouth too, it is my duty to correct you and help you learn and understand the world you have yet to fully comprehend."

"Well said," my father nodded.

"Y-Yeah, I guess I am still pretty young at the end... compared to you," Celeste sighed, feeling a bit let down. "I'm sorry again..."

"It is fine, as long as you learn, consider it a good experience," Felicia said. "Now, now, shall we finish our meals? There's a lot to do afterwards. Namely, I will bring you to some of my favorite shops to buy you brand-new equipment of my choosing. Once you pass a few exams in the future, I might even make you personal equipment."

"Eh? You're buying us equipment? Really?!" Celica asked. "B-But we brought ours?"

"Yeah, through the storage bag of Sylphy," Celeste said.

"Is that so? Hmm, may I see it? I shall judge if they're good enough or not," Felicia said.

"Okay..." I nodded, quickly summoning Glutton. "Glutton, bring the stuff out."

"WAARF!"

Felicia's eyes widened as she saw Glutton appear out of nowhere.

"Oh my... I-Is this real? I have never seen a Mimic of a Storage Bag! And one that actually works?!" asked Felicia. "Where did you find such a mysterious and rare monster, and you even made him your familiar! It must have been an arduous task to beat him and earn his respect..."

"Ahhh, not really, he was a normal Storage Bag before, well, the best one that was SSS Grade of quality," I explained. "But yeah, I turned him into a living being... Thing, with my special

magic."

"Eh?! You can... You're a Life Giver?" muttered Felicia. "Allan! You never mentioned your daughter had such a talent before!"

"Ahahah... I kind of forgot about that, my bad," father apologized.

"A-Anyways, we can talk about that later, here," I showed her the equipment everyone had. "Also this is my alchemy cauldron, she's Violet, similar to Glutton too."

"Guuuh! Hello~!"

Violet greeted Felicia, as the witch once more was shocked.
