In an alchemy workshop named Atelier Katya, There was a silver haired boy with a straight face standing in front of a cauldron. That silver haired boy was a teen boy that its height is around 165 cm and he had normal weight for his age and his height. He wore a dark brown jacket with blue shirt in it, black gloves, long black pants with brown belt, and grey boots.
That boy stood in front of a cauldron because he was doing alchemy now. He was mixing ingredients in that cauldron to synthesize a new item.
“Okay, I’m doing well so far. Maybe I will succeed do an alchemy this time” Said the boy while pouring my mana and stir the inside of the cauldron with a long stick
Just as he finished said that, the inside of cauldron began to shine, but it turned grey and produced a bad smell. It was a reaction that the boy was really familiar with when he did alchemy.
“Well, it sucks. I failed again.”
The boy stopped stirring the cauldron right away and ducked to the floor to take cover. As he took cover, the inside of the cauldron exploded. The explosion made a smoke that cover all over the workshop.
Few minutes after the inside of the cauldron exploded, the smoke that made from it is gone, and the boy stood up. Then, he saw the explosion made some mess on the workshop.
“Wow, what a mess as usual.”
As he saw the result of the mess from the explosion, the door from house to workshop is opened and a purple long-haired woman entered the workshop.
“Liam, are you okay? I heard an explosion coming from the workshop” asked the woman to the boy while feel little worried.
“I’m okay mom.”
The woman who asked the boy is none other than his foster mother and alchemy teacher, Katya Guteherz.
“Still, though I’m okay, the workshop…”
As he said that, they both look at the messed up workshop.
“It’s quite a mess there.”
“I’m sorry for making a mess on your workshop again, mother?”
“It’s okay, but you know the drill, don’t you”
“Yeah, I will clean the mess by myself.”
“Then, mother will go out shopping for a while.”
“Okay, be careful mom.”
Then his mother went out from the workshop from workshop front door to go out shopping.
“Okay, it’s time to clean the mess.”
As the boy said that, he began to clean the mess in the workshop.
