"Also, the participant who takes first place may name a wish—Kornac's Keep will grant it, as long as it's within our power to grant it."As Mole Cricks—the black-robed elder—finished, he turned to look at another white-haired elder who walked casually out of the keep and sat on an armchair placed beneath the signboard.He nodded, and Mole continued, "Then, let's not drag our feet. The first trial starts now!"At this announcement, over a dozen apprentices carried a giant cauldron filled with a herbal soup with a weird scent, placing it in the middle of the crowd.Mole then explained, "Everyone will have a chance to taste this soup. You will then list down the ingredients used and its purpose on the piece of paper given to you."As soon as he finished, the crowd was pushing their way toward the giant cauldron eagerly, dipping into it with the spatulas prepared for them and sipping the soup.Yosil Darman—the white-haired elder who was seated on the armchair—stroked his beard and sm

"One hundred points!"The crowd cheered again—the Cloudnine Sect apprentices were really something else, both scoring full points.It was clear that the first and second places were decided for the year!"Hmph…"Ira, however, snorted in disdain. "What's so surprising? One of them was just lucky getting it right, and then sneaked the answer to the other. Why wouldn't they obtain a perfect score at that point?""Oh, right, right, right…""Exactly, man…"The other participants around Ira smiled and agreed, not daring to argue with him.In reality, however, everyone had been watching, and they knew that the pair from Cloudnine Sect never said a word to each other from the start.They were clearly depending on their own skill, so Ira's suggestion that they were cheating was certainly untrue. If anything, Ira was just being a sore loser and trying to instigate the crowd.Though everyone knew that, they would not accuse Ira, as they were wary of the rich kid's influence."Alright

In reality, what Frank was doing was clown behavior to Kairo and the other Draconian traditional medicine apprentices.. After all, he did not even know the basic idea of when a soup's effects were best and was instead trying to show off.It was embarrassing, and Kairo was quietly shaking his head—he had certainly misjudged Frank by thinking earlier that he was skilled.Mole Cricks—the black-robed elder—did not hold out much hope for Frank either.Anyone skilled enough would know not to wait until the soup was cold, let alone wait until last because it would affect identification.In fact, those who came to try the soup just before Frank were just here to take part for the sake of doing so, and they could barely identify a couple of the herbs used.That was why Mole was not even interested in what Frank could do and actually only wanted it to be over with.Still, the crowd was soon left staring in surprise as Frank did not taste the soup.Instead, he merely leaned into the caul

Mole's reaction made it clear that Frank's answer was different, and Ira would only prove his own stupidity if he kept mocking him now.However, after Mole stared at Frank's paper for two minutes with various expressions alternating over his face, disappointment ultimately showed on his face as he announced, "Frank Lawrence… zero points.""Pftt… What?!"Ira's expression was at first solemn, but he promptly started laughing at Mole's announcement.Kairo was staring at Frank in disbelief too.If Frank's answer was really worth no points, why would Mole stare at it for so long and look so clearly disappointed?"Hahaha… And you were acting all mysterious with your silence, but it turns out that you only got a fat zero! You're a real comedian!"Ira's diss drew a chorus of laughter, and even those who failed to get anything right were sneering at Frank, throwing him derisive thumbs ups. "You have balls, brother! Showing off while everyone watched and then getting zero points. Amazin

Frank kept his eyes fixed on Mole as he said, "What I wrote is clear—Augustraff. That's a herb I identified from the scent."Mole held his gaze in turn. "I'm not senile enough to fail to read. My question is this—do you know what happens when Augustraff is mixed with the other herbs in this list?""Augustraff…"Nearby, Kairo did a double take before lowering his gaze and muttering to himself, "If it was really put in the soup, it would turn everything into poison! The herbs would counteract each other, and body waste would build up within the body over the next three days before whoever consumes it dies… oh!"Kairo understood right then—Frank did not make a mistake, aside from including an extra item: Augustraff.And that would in turn throw off Frank's review of the soup by a country mile.Kairo sighed and shook his head at the thought. "There's no Augustraff in the soup—my tongue wasn't playing tricks on me."If there was, that would mean that this trial is no trial, but a mas

After all, Yosil was the castellan of Kornac's Keep!Yosil slowly opened his eyes and flashed a vague smile as Frank turned to him. "I've been watching, young man—you only sniffed the cauldron and wrote down your answer. Why didn't you taste the soup? You might stand a better chance of getting it right that way, no?"Frank stopped in his tracks, but his stance clearly did not change as he retorted, "Why should I taste it when it's poisoned?"If anything, he appeared even surer now."Insolence!"Mole was snapping at Frank right then, "Watch your tongue, boy! You're speaking with the castellan of Kornac's Keep!"Frank shot him a look of disdain in turn. "And, what? Are you saying that being older makes everything right?"Mole was left flushing. "You wretch?!""Manners, Mole Cricks."Yosil held up a hand, stopping Mole from snapping at Frank as he twirled his beard. "You are right, young man. While I am a mentor and have lived for two centuries, my knowledge in Draconian traditio

However, Mole did not identify the Augustraff added into the soup, but Frank did.Did that not mean that Mole, despite being an elder of Kornac's Keep, lost out to one of the participants in terms of herbology and medicinal knowledge?!While he was scowling terribly, he turned toward Yosil with an exasperated look and tried to hide his embarrassment as he asked, "Chief, we've always been cordial to outsiders and potential apprentices. How could you poison everyone in a trial?""That's right!"The other participants were panicking too—what was Kornac's Keep scheming by poisoning everyone?!"Hahaha… It was just a whim I had in the spur of the moment."Yosil laughed, holding up his hands. "This yearly trial is really getting boring—it's time we try something new, don't you think?""Well, if I'm not mistaken…"Frank spoke calmly as everyone watched, "The second trial would be to identify the symptoms, thereby tailoring an antidote to counteract the poison?"While everyone gasped i

"Since you're all demanding fairness, I will play along this one time so that you don't get to argue anymore."With those words, Frank lifted the cauldron with one hand and swallowed the remaining soup and all the sediments whole."What?! No!!!"Even Yosil was left gaping, throwing up his hands in protest. "There's not much soup left, but the poison of the sediments is especially potent! If you drank that much, you're not going to… to…"Mole was frowning too.The participants only tasted the soup with spatulas or with their fingers, which meant that the poison was at least manageable.However, Frank must have chugged twenty people's worth and even at the sediments! He was clearly suicidal!"Sir, what…"Mole turned toward Yosil, unsure what to do."You've made a mistake, my friend!" Yosil slammed his fist on his table, sighing as he saw Frank was bleeding black ooze from every orifice.He thought highly of Frank, but the kid proved too hot-tempered!Yosil was especially sho
