Back with his water bucket, Aiden made sure that everything would work this time as Garestsa was looking at him.
She was going to help him many one potion to start and then Aiden would try on his own, after.
That's what the two of them had decided on.
Aiden thought that it was a good idea since he wouldn't be relying on her the whole through as he would need to prove that he had learned something from her.
"Alright, so put the Manatrum inside," Garestsa said as she knew that Aiden had no problems with the first two steps.
Then, she looked at him putting the water inside as he knew that he was also quite good at this step since it required absolutely zero skills from his persona.
"Ok, now do the movements that you would usually do and I will try my best to correct them," Garestsa said as she got behind Aiden putting her hands behind his back.
Because of how short her arms were, she had no choice but to be extremely close to him as all of her body was squeezing against him.
Aiden didn't seem to care as he started making his usual moves without the slightest problems.
However, many times Aiden felt some strength from Garestsa's arms who were trying to guide him in the right direction.
'Why is she making me mix it in such a weird way?' Aiden thought as it wasn't anything like he had previously done.
She was mixing it in a random manner.
"Why are you mixing like that, what are the indications?" Aiden asked as he truly couldn't see any usable pattern at the moment.
"You just need to fill it. Feel the mana that is coming off from the cauldron, it will show how to properly mix it."
"Remember that the mixing pattern will always change that's why you need to feel the mana with extreme ease. It should be easy for you, considering the grade of your core and your talent," Garestsa explained, making sure that Aiden knew the opinion that she had on him.
Aiden nodded as he closed his eyes still being guided by Garestsa who had her face completely red from doing so.
She knew that the current position in which the two of them were in was quite uncomfortable. All her forms and curves were currently touching Aiden's body.
She was surprised that he hadn't gotten any reaction since her body was quite voluptuous.
She was sure that he would at least have a little reaction down there, there was nothing. It wasn't moving at all.
"Are you okay, Aiden?" She asked as she was now the only one moving around the stick inside the cauldron.
She wondered what was happening as Aiden still had his eyes completely closed.
However, there was no answer as Aiden made sure that he could feel the mana that was in the ambient environment.
He wanted to feel it so that he would be able to do the rest of the recipe.
Right now, all he could feel was a good load of nothing as everything was black. But, Aiden had managed to block all the sounds in his surroundings.
He was fully concentrated. He wanted to see what she had talked about previously.
'Wait... why do I have my eyes closed? Couldn't my [Eyes of Truth] help me figure this out?' Aiden thought as he hadn't noticed anything previously, however, who knows there might be a change to it.
As he thought of that, he didn't wait for a single more second as he opened them trying to see if he hadn't missed any details.
He was trying to look at the slightest possible detail on that dark blue concoction.
He looked and looked for a couple of seconds, getting closer to the cauldron, not caring about getting burnt.
As long as he figured this out, he wouldn't care at all.
"Aiden, what are you doing?" Garestsa said as she was struggling to follow him since her arms were all around him, basically hugging him even if it was a weird form of it.
"Shush, let me concentrate," Aiden replied as he once again had access to the sound of his surroundings.
'Just what is that?' Aiden asked himself as he saw what seemed to be a little thread in the water that was mixed with the Manatrum.
It was a little blue thread that was extremely well hidden inside of the potion.
Aiden looked at it and looked at Garestsa's movements of the stick and he understood that they were the exact same.
'I need to follow that thread and I will learn how to craft potions,' Aiden thought as he finally realized how to succeed.
"Give me some space, I don't need your help anymore," Aiden said as he pushed her off his back, not caring at all about what would happen to her.
Because of the push, Garestsa was now on the ground as she looked up to Aiden who was still looking at his potion as if that was the only thing that mattered in this world.
'I hope you fail,' she thought as she was now completely dirty from the push that she had given him.
However, that didn't seem the case as she took a closer look at what Aiden was currently doing.
Everything seemed to make sense, he was mixing it perfectly without the slightest doubt in his movements.
It was like he could see where he needed to move next as if he already had a step ahead.
'Hmpf, that's impossible thought,' Garestsa thought as she had never heard of such a skill in her entire life.
Alchemy always revolved around one single thing and that was to feel the flow of the mana, if you couldn't do that, then you had no hope of using it and making all sorts of potions.
It was the basic of the basics.
"Are you seeing?! I think I'm doing it," Aiden said with excitement realizing that he was finally going to make it.
'He can smile?' She thought as she had honestly never seen the slightest bit of emotion from Aiden, always moving around completely emotionless no matter what would happen.
She was really surprised to see that beautiful white smile come from him as she had thought that he was a really serious person in life, not liking anything.
However, she was clearly proven wrong, there was a single thing that Aiden liked over anything in the world and that was... succeeding.
As long as he succeeded in everything that he did, he would be happy.
As long as he was stronger than his peers, he would be happy.
Sure, most of the time he wouldn't show it physically, however, he would still be extremely happy.
He remembered how it was to be the strongest in his third trial. He had to admit that it was one hell of an experience that he truly liked, as everyone respected him for the slightest decisions that he would make.
'I just need to become the strongest in the real world now. I need to succeed in becoming the strongest,' Aiden thought with a smile as a system message appeared in front of him.
[You have made your first potion.]
