The young man didn't know what nick was laughing about but he knew that both himself and the other children here had drank his brews in order to stave off hunger , ironically this was how he had discovered the medicinal properties in the plants. "can you please help us we have drank a few of those since we were hungry." the young man looked pathetic as he bowed towards nick and begged. nick frowned deeply "stand up and look me in the eyes!" he yelled at the young man spooking him. the young man stood up tall and looked in nicks eyes shakily. "an alchemist bows to no one but their teacher or other alchemist if i ever find out you bowed to anyone other than those , i will end you." nick said releasing a tiny amount of killing intent. the young man grew pale as blood drained from his face as he felt how serious nick was and just as fast nick returned to being stoic. "i will teach enough to get on the proper path as well as flush the impurities from all of you but remember this moment because it won't happen again." nick said seriously.

The young man nodded "good now lets get rid of those impurities first." nick said with a sly grin. the young man soon learned the horror behind nicks earlier statement about removing impurities being a pain in the a.s.s as he violently expelled the impurities in his body in the only way a mortal can , through their a.s.s. the rest of the kids in this place that nick discovered was an orphanage also experienced the same horror as the young man but afterward they all felt far better than they could ever remember. "now that you are properly cleaned out." nick snickered " i can teach you a bit of alchemy , to begin with i will teach you about plants." he said before he began to explain the differences between plants as well as how to tell their properties and which part is useful and which is not. after teaching about plants nick explained to the young man about how to collect wild plants as well as how to process and store them. like this several hours passed before nick calls it a day so the young man can sleep.

After leaving the orphanage nick walked back towards the main street so he could go back to his residence but quickly discovered that he was being hunted by a large bird flying far overhead which amused him so he decided to play with it a little. erasing his presence nick used his light law to vanish which startled the bird into swooping down on the last place it saw nick landing with a puff of air. the bird was a a dark purple color that liked like a massive raven but it had a third eye in the middle of its forehead while it was as big as a person. unknown to the poor bird nick was standing directly besides it wondering whether or not he should use it for an experiment since it had the audacity to try and hunt him.
