[You unfolded the tarot cards in front of you and used the basic divination ranking method...]

[Jian chooses a card, the reversed Holy Grail card. You concentrate and gradually see the vague cause and effect...]

[Three names appear in your mind's eye: Mitchell, Fitch, and Quincy. 】

Three?

Mu You was startled. Sure enough, there was something wrong. Judging from the causal connection, she should be having an affair with at least three people... But no matter what, she must have a serious boyfriend. The one I am asking here should be the one who has been announced to the public. The real boyfriend, the remaining two are the 'distractions' she set up.

Mu You tried to manipulate characters to perform in-depth divination again, but it turned out that it was difficult to divine anything more. If it were Vivian, this little trick would definitely be broken in minutes. His current level is still not enough after all...

Mu You shook his head. Fortunately, it doesn't matter. There are three names, so let's try them one by one.

[You told the other party that her boyfriend is 'Mitchell'. 】

["Sorry, wrong answer." Jane looked at you with a smile and shook her head. 】

"Is it wrong..."

Mu You was not too surprised. He pressed his pocket watch and retraced the time.

[Time passes, and you tell the other party again that her boyfriend is 'Fitch'. 】

["Sorry, wrong answer." Jane still had the same smile and tone. 】

"Not bad..."

Mu You frowned and continued to press the watch.

[Time goes by, and you say the last name: Quincy. 】

["Sorry, wrong answer..."]

"No way……"

Mu You looked strange.

[As time goes by, you tell the other party that her boyfriends are Mitchell, Fitch, and Quincy. 】

["Correct, all three of them are my wings." Jane glanced at you unexpectedly. She once suspected that you had not inquired about her information in the club. Many internal members of the divination club knew that Jane was dating at the same time. Three boyfriends. 】

"..."

Mu You felt greatly shocked. Not only were they three boyfriends, but they also knew each other's existence?

[Jian admits that you passed the test, but tells you to keep this matter confidential. 】

[You naturally agree. Keeping the divination object secret is a professional ethics that every fortune teller must abide by. 】

[After Jane leaves, a second diviner walks into the room. 】

[Milton Eden, the eldest son of Grand Duke Milton House, whose family held a high position in the empire, also brought him considerable privileges in his life at the academy, allowing him to use his unqualified divination skills to He became one of the vice-presidents of the Divination Club. 】

The second person who came in seemed to be a well-connected person, the son of the Grand Duke, which was indeed a high-ranking position.

Mu You was waiting for what kind of divination this person would propose, but he was surprised again by the question the other party said.

[Eden has always suspected that he and his father are not related by blood because their appearance has no similarity at all. Eden wants you to divine, who is his real father? In fact, he had asked fortune tellers from the same society to divine this question many times in private, and he knew the answer quite well. 】

Mu You: "..."

Are all these divination questions so outrageous?

He suddenly discovered that fortune telling seemed to be a profession that could easily obtain a lot of gossip content.

Of course, no matter how much gossip you get, you cannot tell it. This is the unwritten rule of the fortune telling industry. Once you violate it, you will not only be spurned by all your colleagues, but also the customers. Customers who come to the fortune teller for divination are themselves a The process of opening up your heart and revealing your secrets. Who would ask a fortune teller who can't keep secrets for divination?

Shaking his head, Mu You continued the game with a normal expression. After some calculations, he finally came up with four names, all of which were people who had paid special attention to Eden.

Still trying one by one as usual.

Fortunately, there was no magic trick like "four people are all my fathers" this time. When he tested one of them, Eden expressed his approval of Mu You's divination skills.

After that, several other vice-presidents appeared one after another, and the contents of their divination were also varied. What is your favorite cat? ', 'The moment someone was born', 'Who will be the Red Rose Star this time', etc.

Sure enough, all the divination answers were ambiguous. These experienced students of divination knew very well what kind of divination questions were most likely to involve vague cause and effect.

Fortunately, Mu You had a pocket watch to cheat, otherwise he would really not be able to defeat these people with his current beginner's skills.

All six vice presidents were dealt with, and then it was the president's turn.

[President Lott walked into the divination room and sat in front of you. 】

["I'm surprised that you were able to answer all six of their divination questions correctly. This is something you can never do with talent alone." Lott looked at you and said, "Either you are already a master with enough divination experience. Or, you have some special skills and can obtain more information by means other than divination... I am more inclined to the latter..."]

[Lot did not ask you a divination question, but instead took a candle from the table. 】

["So this time, I decided not to test you on the original question, because if I ask you, you will probably be able to answer it correctly."]

["In this case, I will be the one to divine for you."]

["The content of divination is: whether you can get my letter of recommendation today."]

[Lot lit the candle and watched the flames move...]

[After a moment, Lott sighed and extinguished the candle. He had come to a conclusion and took out a written letter from his sleeve and handed it to you. 】

[You have obtained the 'Upgrade Recommendation Letter from the Divination Club'. 】

This divination club president is quite interesting. It seems that he has figured out that he is cheating, and finally uses divination to determine whether he is writing to him.

But this is in vain. With the pocket watch, he can answer any question. He must get this letter of recommendation unless the other party denies the promise he just made.

[Lot tells you that this divination room will be your private divination room from now on. The members of the Divination Club will be very busy every day, because every day students from all grades will come to you to divine various things. It is best for you to come often. Remember not to charge for the initial period. Focus on practice and wait for you to accumulate. After you gain enough popularity and your reputation spreads, you can set a charging standard and officially list your fortune telling. 】

Mu You was overjoyed to see that the president was really grand. Before leaving, he even provided him with a stable fortune-telling position. From now on, while improving his proficiency every day, he could also receive some rewards, which was a very good membership benefit.

Now that the two unreliable recommendations of the Flying Club and the Divination Club have been made, there is still the Potions Club, which Mu You is best at, can this be overturned?

[Potions are one of the things you are best at. Having personally refined fifth-level potions, your level of refining can theoretically crush all the students in the academy. Only the Potions Club has no chance of rejecting you. ! 】

[After leaving the Divination Club, confidence flowed in your chest, and you walked into the door of the Potion Club next door with your head held high. 】

[You were stopped by the guard at the Potions Club! 】

["After testing, your potion qualifications are not up to standard and do not meet the income standards of our society. Thank you for your participation. Please consider other societies." The young witch at the gate looked at the talent test results in front of her and refused with a smile. received your application for membership. 】

"..."

Mu You was a little embarrassed, forgetting that he had to test his qualifications before joining the club. He was really unqualified in terms of potion qualifications.

There was no other way, Mu You could only assume his identity as a potion master at this time.

[You did not leave, but told the witch that you were already a second-level potion master, and there must be something wrong with her instrument. 】

[The witch looks at you suspiciously and asks you for the Potion Master level badge certified by the Wizards Association. 】

The Wizards Association has a service to certify the potion master level, which is equivalent to the potion master examination. This badge is a certificate, which has a high gold content and is commonly used in all places in the spiritual world.

But Mu You definitely doesn’t have such a thing.

[You tell the witch that you have not participated in the assessment of the Wizards Association, but you have been able to stably refine all root potions below the second level, which definitely meets the standards of a second-level magician. 】

[The witch doesn't believe what you say, but she can't be sure. She is just a potion apprentice. She cannot afford to offend a second-level potion master, so she has to ask you to wait while she goes to ask the leader of the society for instructions. 】

[The president of the Potion Club, 'Harvey Andrew', appears in front of you. 】

[After Harvey learned what happened, he said that in your situation, you can only prove your strength by making medicine on the spot. 】

[You need to refine ten different first- and second-level magic potions within two hours, and the success rate cannot be lower than 70%. 】

Sure enough, you still have to show your skills first to convince the public.

The opponent's 70% success rate is based on the Wizards Association's assessment standards. However, this standard is much worse than Vivian's standards. He usually practices with a 99% success rate. of.

[You came to the potion refining room of the Potion Club and started refining the potion in front of everyone...]

[...You completed seven second-level potions at an astonishing speed, with a 100% success rate! 】

[Thanks to your solid foundation in daily life, your alchemy performance skills are now astonishing. No one dares to question your identity. There are not many second-level potion masters with such skill in the entire society. Your strength has already been Enough to serve as a club cadre! 】

[President Harvey shakes hands with you and welcomes new members. 】

There were no problems during the presentation, and he joined the potion club smoothly. Mu You didn't waste time and told the president his needs straight to the point.

The result was similar to that of the Divination Club, where he was also required to complete a predetermined assessment before he could get a letter of recommendation.

Moreover, as the largest club in the school, the assessment of the Potions Club can be said to be the most difficult of all clubs.

[Harvey tells you that the assessment content is 'medicine analysis': Next, he and the five vice presidents will each provide you with a low-level potion that failed to be refined. You need to analyze the ingredients through the drug residue. This infers the name of the potion and the reason why the refining failed. 】

The potion that failed to be refined has already lost most of its properties. In this case, it is extremely difficult to analyze the ingredients through the residue, not to mention the reason for the failure. This requires the potion master to It is only possible to know the formulas and refining processes of all low-level potions as well as to be as familiar with them as eating and drinking. And those who can do this should have separated themselves from the low-level potion masters long ago. level.

If the previous divination and flying assessments were relatively humane, this Potion Club assessment was a truly difficult assessment, probably designed from the beginning with the goal of not allowing anyone to pass.

[Harvey sees you in a daze, approaches, and tells you a secret in a low voice: This assessment was formulated by the first-generation Potion Club leader 'Ansany Vivian'. Even if the rules are abnormal, our descendants cannot change them. , no one has completed this assessment yet, this is already known to everyone in the academy. If you are here for the purpose of a recommendation letter, he recommends that you change to another club as soon as possible. 】

Sure enough, even the other president personally admitted that this rule was perverted... But, Vivian?

Mu You read the name mentioned in the text several times and finally confirmed that it was Vivian's name.

"how?"

Vivian, who was taking a nap on a branch in the distance, felt Mu You's eyes on her.

"You... also attended Red Rose College before?" Mu You asked with a strange expression.

"Red rose..."

Vivian was startled, shook her head and said, "It happened a long time ago, but instead of going to school, I served as a potion instructor in the academy for about a year... What?"

Vivian could tell that something wasn't right about his expression.

Mu You sighed and had no choice but to tell her what happened in the game.

"Oh? That rule is still there?" Vivian was slightly surprised after hearing this.

"Aren't you still there? And now it's your students!" Mu You thought, dumbfounded.

Vivian glanced at him and suddenly said: "This rule was originally intended for the students of the Potion Club at that time to lay a solid foundation. It just so happens that you should try it too and let me see how far your foundation is..."

"Let me try……"

Mu You could only bite the bullet and accept it.

Moreover, if you really can't analyze it, you can also ask Vivian's staff for help. In short, let's clear this in the game first.

[You tell Harvey that you decided to conduct an assessment. 】

[Harvey did not refuse and took you to an empty alchemy room. There are all kinds of equipment you need here. 】

[You have obtained six unknown potion residues. 】

[Please find out the ingredients and reasons for failure of all potions within one hour. 】

This kind of work would never be possible with game characters. After the others in the game left, Mu You directly extracted the six bottles of magic potion into reality and placed them on the workbench.

Vivian also flapped her wings and flew over at this time, silently observing his actions from the side.

Mu You prepared various tools such as beakers and test tubes. He used tweezers to pick out a handful of residue, spread it out on white paper, and began to analyze.

"Dragon heart grass, oxen venom glands, silver powder, resurrection grass... This should be a powerful antidote. The reason for the failure of refining... The proportion of poison glands is excessive, resulting in imbalance of medicinal properties..."

The first medicine was relatively simple, and Mu You analyzed it smoothly. When Vivian nodded, she knew he was right.

Mu You breathed a sigh of relief. If it was only to this extent, it didn't seem to be difficult.
