The next day at the academy was as usual. After Professor Ziu''s ss, Adrianna had to attend potions ss. However, for that, they had to go to the academy''s backyard where roots of the bulboa nt were to be distributed by the gardener. Unfortunately, the gardener wasn''t anywhere to be seen. He had dug out a few which had all been l taken by the students who hade early. Adrianna didn''t even know what the bulboa nt looked like.
Adrianna looked around the entire area. There were an uncountable amount of nts being grown in the garden. The grass was trimmed short between the rectangr and circr beds, and there were various herbs growing. The air was scented by the blossoms. The leaves of the nts - some tiny, somerge - were gently swaying in the breeze. There were nts with dark red leaves and ck stripes that were growing on woody stems. As Adrianna walked through the garden, she read the names of the nts that were disyed. A small cluster of nts was sprawled across a rectangr bed which was emitting pungent smell. She bent down to take a closer look and read the nt''s name when she heard a whisper, "Don''t pluck me or I will eat you up!" Adrianna was shocked to hear the nt speak and she steered clear of that flowerbed. As she walked further, she noticed that there were many cyan-colored nts with broad leaves that had been nted in y pots. She bent down to look at the name and realized that it was the bulboa nt. Thankfully she didn''t have to scan the entire garden. It seemed that the gardener had ced the pots right at the entrance of the garden for the students.??
Adrianna searched for a spade to dig out the nt. As soon as she brought the spade near the nt, it curled its leaves in a way that it closed them tightly inwards. She started digging up the roots, but no matter how much she dug, the soil would be t again, not letting the roots be exposed. Out of frustration, Adrianna pulled out the nt. She was surprised to see the cyan leaves open themselves and tten as though they had beid. She looked at the roots. They were of the same color as the leaves.
Adrianna washed the roots, chopped them off the nt, and left for ss. When she arrived, she was surprised to notice that the ss contained almost fifty percent of the entire senior year. Professor Lane looked at all of them and was happy that there were so many students.
"Today, we will be making a potion that can make you lose your memories for a certain amount of time. Remember this is a potent potion. If you don''t add the ingredients properly, you either won''t be able to make it, or you may cause an irreversible effect on memory of the person. Brewing is the most important part of making any potion," said the professor as he took a root from one of the students and crushed it with a hammer. Cyan juice flowed out of it, which he collected in a small bottle. Then, he started a fire in front of him which he used to heat up a small ss sk, in which he poured the juice. As the juice heated up, he went to get more ingredients. Heid them all out on his table and added them in, one by one. As he added them, he called out their names. "This is fermented spider eye, flower of Hibia, raven''s feather, andstly, oil extracted from olive seeds."
As the mixture boiled, a dark blue smoke started rising from it, soon filling up the ss sk. A few secondster, the ss slightly cracked and Professor Lane immediately removed the sk from the burner. He filtered the blue liquid into a small ss bottle and showed it to the ss. "Remember to remove the sk as soon as it cracks."
The students repeated what the professor had demonstrated. Within a few minutes, one could hear sounds like "boom", "nk", "phat". ss sks were shattered and blue liquid was strewn across the tables, floors, faces, and robes of the students. None of the students could sessfully make the potion. The only person who could sessfully brew the potion was Nefasky.
She looked smugly at the others and then went to show her bottle to Professor Lane. He approved of it and ced the bottle onto his table. "Don''t take the bottle. This is now the property of the academy," he warned her.
Adrianna took four attempts to seed, but it was fun. When she handed in her bottle to Professor Lane, he asked her to put it on the table. Within the next few minutes the ss ended and all the students had to submit their work. They came and submitted their work before returning to their tables.
Nefasky was sitting in her chair when she saw Adrianna submitting her potion. Noticing Adrianna was covered in cyan spots all over, Nefasky walked up to Adrianna and magically cleaned up Adrianna''s appearance.. Adrianna noticed what Nefasky had done and snapped her fingers. Every student in the ss became spic and span.
Professor Lane smiled and said, "Submit your reports about this potion tomorrow."
As Nefasky left, she nced at the potion bottles on the table.
