Chapter 565: Chapter 318 Global Manhunt_1

Mu You quickly regretted his decision as the first potion was the simplest, and the ones that followed became increasingly difficult.

The second, the third, the remnants of the potions’ properties were severely sabotaged. After observing for a long time, Mu You was only able to guess and pair up half of the two materials.

Starting from the fourth, the degree of sabotage increased again. This time, Mu You ultimately was unable to accurately identify the components. He misjudged one of the ingredients twice in succession which led to an entirely wrong result.

"Three correct, two wrong, just decent..." Vivian shook her head. She wasn’t too hard on him because she had watched Mu You’s progress in Magic Potions Study, she knew his skill level. This examination was complicated, no wonder no one had been able to clear it in the Potion Club’s history.

After tidying up the table, Mu You opened the last vial, hoping for a decent ending. Even if he failed to see through all the components, at least he did not want to make the same blunder as with the previous two potions.

Unfortunately, his hope was dashed. The final potion proved to be extremely challenging. Despite the minimal fluctuation in its properties, he was unable to identify any of its components.

After using various methods to observe it for over ten minutes, without any clues, Mu You had no choice but to give up. It was impossible to identify a potion if one’s skills were not matured enough, no matter the amount of resilience.

"Vivian, I can’t identify this potion." Mu You did not persist and asked Vivian for advice, presenting the powder on the paper before her.

Vivian, initially unconcerned, applied a levitation spell controlling a glass rod to grind the powder on the paper.

However, after observing for a moment, she furrowed her brow.

"It’s normal that you couldn’t figure this one out..."

"What?" Mu You was puzzled.

"This is a tier-five magic potion, Permanent Transform Powder. The reason for its unsuccessful refinement is that the strength of the potion maker was insufficient. They stubbornly tried to refine it, but the fire’s temperature caused the main ingredient of the potion to deteriorate," Vivian explained.

"What?!"

Mu You was taken aback. No wonder he couldn’t identify it, as it turned out to be a tier-five magic potion!

What was the Potion Club doing? They clearly declared that all the potions were low-level ones, were they trying to deceive him by breaking the rules?

Mu You was furious. He returned to the game and typed all the results of his analysis.

He then sent the remaining material of several potions back to the game, particularly the sixth potion, which was definitive proof of their deception.

Mu You felt that this probably wasn’t the collective decision of the entire Potion Club. If the president wanted to obstruct his progress, he could’ve simply not granted him the recommendation letter. There was no need for such manipulation.

More likely, someone within the club was intentionally sabotaging him. This was something Mu You needed to keep an eye on.

[You left the Alchemy Room with the potion and announced your validation results to everyone waiting outside...]

[The results of the analysis of the first five potions were perfectly accurate.]

[Everyone was astonished at your magic potion skill level. It seemed that you were likely to become the first student to pass the Potion Club’s examination.]

[However, for the sixth potion, you explicitly admitted that you couldn’t differentiate.]

[When everyone was lamenting your near success, you revealed to them why: this potion is a tier-five potion, only high-level magic potion masters can identify its components!]

Vivian had indeed also helped him analyze the name and reason behind the failure of the final potion. However, Mu You couldn’t mention it here because the Star Spirit World had few seventh tier magic potion masters. If this were revealed, it would actually raise doubts about his identity.

[Your announcement caused an uproar on the scene. Everyone instinctively looked at President Harvey. It is impossible to lie about such a matter which can easily be verified by any magic potion instructor. Once verified as true, it would become a scandal for the Potion Club.]

[Harvey, equally displeased, looked back at the five deputy presidents. The potion mixture was supplied by them, and the culprit had to be among them.]

[As Harvey looked over them, you noticed a flicker of panic in the eyes of one of them, a witch, who instinctively lowered her head.]

After finding the clue pointing to the guilty party in the text, Mu You eagerly clicked on the ’a witch’ text.

[Steel Gemma, a seventh-grade student, a third-tier magic potion maker, the pearl of the Steel Family. A brilliant student, she has twice narrowly lost to Chris Freya, a student of similar background, in the Red Rose Star selection and harbors resentment. You bearing the surname ’Chris’ in the academy may be the primary reason for your struggle...]

So once again, he is caught in the crossfire of a feud between girls...

Mu You was speechless. He was admitted to the academy owing to his relationship with Cola’s master, which was easy to investigate. He was probably assumed as Fuya’s subordinate or follower.

[Harvey looked at you, apologized for their mistake, and decided to only count the results from the first five potion identification. Your examination was declared to be perfectly passed.]

[He would write you a recommendation letter and promised to take strict actions against the individual responsible for the mistake, hoping that you could show discretion when discussing the incident with others.]

This meant he was requesting Mu You to preserve their dignity and not speak about the scandal. Mu You did not care about that, all he wanted was the recommendation letter. He was indifferent to the internal conflicts of their club, and too lazy to be concerned about it.
