After a few minutes ’ rushes in a tall man who would appear to be around 190cm in height . He would be wearing an auburn-colored cloak , which would be complimenting his neck-length curly hair , also matching the color of his eyes . He then rests his right hand atop a counter , which would appear to be on the right of the shop , slightly bending down . Striking a sharp gaze towards the apprentice , the guilty apprentice gets taken aback from the cold gaze which would pierce through one ’ s very soul .
“ Just what have you done this time , Eli ,” sighs the man , after , fixing his posture .
“ Master Noah … The new potion in which you wanted me to craft , ‘ Liushane ,’ appears to be … Rather … Complicated . The blue mana crystal didn ’ t react well with the …”
As the apprentice Eli continued to explain , the wizard Noah would avert his gaze from the male , looking around the shop . The shop would appear to be rather well tidied after the incident . After Eli finishes explaining , Noah would close his eyes for a couple seconds taking a breath in . As he opens , he states :
“ I know , I know . Though , you supposed to have achieved a level of mastery in magics , which should allow you to know how to work around this using what I ’ ve taught you thus far . Even when I ’ m gone for a bit . I was gone for a mere hour in order to finish some significant work in the capital , and you are aware that the slightest mistake can lead to the uttermost of casualties . Luckily , the walls in this place are sturdy enough to uphold an explosion as this , thanks to some magic enhancements . Remember , Eli , our magic is used to serve the people , and it must be done with the most of delicacy . From what you have explained , using red roses in the potion resulted in an error . That is because you are supposed to use the red hibiscus flower instead , for example . If you aren ’ t sure of how to make the potion , review your notes until you are confident that you are . Fortunately , no one got hurt . If such a mistake were to be done again , I cannot be able to confirm ,” Noah would warn in a serious tone .
“ Right , right . My sincerest apologies . I was over-excited when I heard that a recipe of a new mastery level was assigned , though , forgot to take my cautions when it came to actually making it . For next time I shall review the material better , instead of attempting to make it with bare knowledge , missing a few key points .” Eli replies .
“ Good . I must say , however , you did an outstanding job in making the shop appear like nothing happened , despite the mess I ’ m imagining it caused ?” The master would chuckle in relief , easing the tense atmosphere .
“ Thank you , master Noah … I promise , I will never make such foolish mistakes again ,” would reply the apprentice , saying it more confidently and looking less distressed .
With the incident out of the way , the apprentice learned a significant lesson , which is to proceed with caution when it comes to delicate tasks . Re-making the previously destroyed potions , Noah , then re-stocks the shelves and does any small changes necessary to fix up some minor details around shop . With this concludes an eventful moment in the day , later continuing with tending customers and learning new spells .
