At this moment, inside a small Alchemist Laboratory, a handsome Elf with red-colored hair and wearing a yellow-colored robe was mixing some ingredients together while at the same time also writing his discovery on a piece of paper by his side.

After finishing mixing the ingredients, the man moved towards a cage by his side, which has an Alchemist Rat inside. He opened the cage and took out the Alchemist Rat before making it drink the potion.

Whoooosh!

Slowly, the body of the Alchemist Rat started disappearing into nothing. The body didn\'t really disappear, but rather it turned invisible.

The invisibility started from the foot of the Alchemist Rat as it slowly made its way towards its head.

"Here it comes!" The man said as excitement was evident in his voice.

Unfortunately, the invisibility only covered half of the Alchemist Rat\'s body before it started returning back to normal.

Seeing this, the man could only feel disappointed. He carefully put back the Alchemist Rat inside its cage as he grabbed a pen and put a large word \'Failure!\' on the paper.

"What else do I lack to complete this recipe?" The man asked himself as he stared at the word \'Failure!\' on the paper.

"I\'ve already added some Aura Concealing Fruit, Invisible Plant, the blood of Night Crawlers, and a vial of Crystal Waters. All of these ingredients have the property of invisibility and are also compatible with each other, yet it still lacks something to complete it."

The man began walking back and forth while thinking of what else does he lack to complete his newest recipe, an Invisibility Potion.

This man\'s name is Eugine, an Elite Alchemist. Though that\'s not really his actual level, because if he really wants to, he could actually become the 2nd Lord Alchemist of the Emerald Tree Kingdom. The only reason why he didn\'t choose to become one was because of the heavy workload that a Lord Alchemist receives every single day, which honestly speaking, would shorten his time for Alchemy. Unlike his current level right now, which basically allowed him to spend all of his time in studying more about Alchemy.

"I feel like I only lack one thing to complete this recipe," Eugine said to himself, "Once I find this missing ingredient, then I would be the first Alchemist in the entire Celestial World to ever successfully make an Invisibility Potion."

Throughout all the Alchemist Association of the entire Celestial World, no one has ever concocted an Invisibility Potion.

Some say that it\'s impossible, while others say that maybe they are thinking it the wrong way, that instead of making an Invisibility Potion, they should instead make a Cloaking Potion, a potion that would reduce one\'s presence to almost nothing, which if one thinks deeply about it, could actually still be called invisibility. After all, if no one can feel a person\'s presence, then no one would be able to notice that they exist or that they are nearby.

However, Eugine never believes such a thing. For him, Invisibility Potion is very possible, because nothing is impossible for Alchemy. It\'s just that, those that had wanted to create an Invisibility Potion lacked an ingredient to successfully make one.

Because of that, Alchemists began giving up such research and focused on the Cloaking Potion instead.

While Eugine was deep in thought, the door of his small Alchemist Laboratory was opened loudly.

Bang!

"Ellen?" Eugine soon saw Ellen in front of the door, catching her breath after running so quickly from the Alchemist test room to this Alchemist Laboratory.

"I\'m really sorry for disturbing you, sir Eugine, but you are the only Elite Alchemist I could find after looking so hard." Ellen explained while bowing her head a bit to apologize. As a receptionist of the Alchemist Association, she long already knew that Eugine is only second to the Lord Alchemist, despite his level of an Elite Alchemist. So, she needs to be respectful in front of him, especially with her small status.

"Well, almost everyone is participating in the Emerald Event." Eugine nodded his head in understanding, "Anyways, why are you looking for me?"

"It\'s like this; someone came to our Alchemist Association to register as an Alchemist."

"Okay, but shouldn\'t this be your responsibility? It is still part of your responsibility to test those people that wanted to register as an Alchemist, right?" Eugine said.

"Yes, I know, sir Eugine. But the thing is, the person that took the test concocted a large vial of Sleeping Potion. I wasn\'t able to stop her in time because, just like what you always said to everyone, it\'s a big taboo to disturb an Alchemist once they start making something." Ellen said.

"Indeed, which honestly speaking, is what you\'ve just done," Eugine said with a roll of his eyes, "If only you weren\'t the daughter of my brother and that I was the one who pulled the string to assign you at the front desk, then I would have definitely kicked you out of the Alchemist Association for disrupting me."

"I also know about that, sir Eugine. And I deeply apologize." Ellen said as she bowed her head ninety degrees.

"So, what\'s the important thing that made you disrupt me?" Eugine said as he crossed his arms in front.

"You really understand me, uncle Eugine!" Ellen quickly changed the tone of her voice as she raised her head and smiled in relief. If she had disrupted other Alchemists, then they would definitely not forgive her. Fortunately, it was her uncle Eugine that she had disrupted and not someone else.

"So, as I was saying, the important reason why I disrupted you is, the Sleeping Potion that person concocted was really weird. Even when the vial was tightly closed and that I\'m a few meters away, it surprisingly still made me think of wanting to sleep. It\'s really unlike the Sleeping Potions I\'ve seen in the past." Ellen explained while thinking in deep thoughts. But suddenly, her hand was grabbed by her uncle Eugine as they right after dashed out of the small Alchemist Laboratory.

"Eh, where are you taking me, uncle Eugine?" Ellen became dumbfounded.

"Obviously, to that person you\'ve just mentioned. And please, stop calling me, uncle Eugine, especially when we are inside the Alchemist Association." Eugine replied.

"Okay, uncle- I mean, sir Eugine!" Ellen said.

.....

Inside the huge room, Ash had already put the large vial of Sleeping Potion inside a container and closed it so that she won\'t accidentally make someone fall asleep again, just like what happened to Leo and the others a while ago.

"That nearly gave me a scare," Leo said as he wiped the sweat off from his forehead. He had already woken up a few minutes later after falling asleep as he had bitten his lips to instantly wake himself up. The reason he bit his lips was because he thought that someone had ambushed them or something by releasing some kind of undetected Sleeping Gas.

At the side, Cassandra, Elizabeth, Angel, and Veronica are still in deep slumber, occasionally calling his name in their sleep. But they should be waking up soon...

"I\'m sorry..." Ash bowed his head to Leo to apologize.

"It\'s okay! None of us has expected that your Sleeping Potion would be that powerful." Leo replied as he rubbed Ash\'s hair.

"Hehehe..." Ash said with a giggle and a blushing face.

"Now then, where exactly did that Ellen-girl go? She suddenly dashed out of the room without telling any of us the reason why." Leo said as he turned his head to look outside the room from the window. To be honest, the reason why he thought that they have been ambushed was exactly because of Ellen, who suddenly left them. He thought that the reason she left was because she went to activate some kind of Magic Technology or whatsoever that had released a Sleeping Gas inside the room.

Although they are technically inside the Alchemist Association, so no one should ambush them and such, still, it\'s not impossible for that to happen, especially now that they are outside the territory of the Lionheart Kingdom.

Who knows, maybe the Black organization is on the move or something, right?

"Actually, if my guess is indeed correct, the exact reason why she had left should be to bring a Novice Alchemist here. According to what I know about the Alchemist Association, it\'s no longer under the jurisdiction of a mere receptionist like Ellen to check my Alchemist test." Ash replied.

Hearing Ash\'s words, Leo suddenly thought of something and said, "Don\'t tell me..."

"Hehehe... I purposely made the large vial of Sleeping Potion so that I can cause a commotion in the Alchemist Association. With that, my name will spread to the Alchemist Association, thus gaining me fame, which would also gain all of us some fame." Ash told everyone the reason why she had made a large vial of Sleeping Potion, despite already knowing how to pass the test.

"You\'re really a sly fox, hahaha!" Leo can\'t help chuckling.

"Well, after all, I\'m a member of the White Fox race," Ash said with a smile.

"Oh, are you saying that all the Fox race are sly?" Leo asked.

"Of course not, it\'s just... that..." Ash quickly felt awkward after hearing Leo\'s question.

"Hahaha, I\'m just joking," Leo said while laughing.

Suddenly, Cassandra and the others who were sleeping finally woke up.

"Why did we suddenly fell asleep just now?" Cassandra asked while rubbing her eyes and slowly standing up.

Elizabeth, Angel, and Veronica slowly stood up as well and looked at Leo and the others with a questioning look on their faces.

"Ash\'s Sleeping Potion was so powerful that it caused people nearby it to fall asleep," Leo explained.

"Ohhh, so that\'s why!" Cassandra and the others nodded their head in understanding.

Suddenly, Leo turned to look outside the window as he soon saw Ellen along with another guy arriving.

"They\'re back," Leo informed the others as they quickly fixed themselves together.
