Reincarnated as the Hated Villainous Prince, I Thought I Could Live Freely in This Life, but Unconsciously Acted Like a Saint ~Trying to Create an Evil Kingdom, but for Some Reason I'm Highly Respected by Everyone~ - Chapter 30

“Alright, next is how to make a Last Elixir…”

The elf students were listening to my class with utmost seriousness.

In my past life, school life was just painfully boring.

Yet here, they all seemed eager to hear my lesson even before I started.

Kukkukku… perhaps this too is thanks to their faith in me.

“Although the Last Elixir is considered a rare item in this world, its creation isn’t that difficult. All you need is to raise your Mixing Skill to level 5, then combine an ‘Elixir’ with ‘World Tree’s Herb’.”

Saying so, I took out two items I had gathered from the Elfria Forest Zone.

The “World Tree’s Herb” isn’t easy to come across, a rare item indeed, but of course, having completed three hundred rounds of the game, I obviously knew the item respawn locations.

So, I thoughtlessly showed the “World Tree’s Herb” to the students, but…

“Wow…!”

“Is that the real thing…!?”

“My dad said it’s a herb you’d be lucky to get even once in a lifetime…!”

Seeing the herb emitting a beautiful shimmer, the students were all abuzz with excitement.

“E-Esmeralda-sama. Are we really going to use such a rare herb for mixing…?”

“Huh? Of course. What’s the point of having it if we don’t use it?”

Children, being children, their questions are quite adorable.

For a truly strong nation, high-quality education is essential.

Especially with many excellent materials available around the Elf Kingdom, just mastering this mixing process could significantly advance our national strength.

And after I build an invincible kingdom, of course, I’ll set up a system that benefits only me.

Kukkukku…I plan to make these kids work like slaves for me.

I won’t skimp on investments for that.

I specifically raised my mixing skill to level 5, all to spread proper education to these children and ensure no half-hearted lessons.

“Then watch this. Skill activation— ‘Mixing’.”

As I chanted, both the “Elixir” and “World Tree’s Herb” I was holding began to emit a faint light.

Without enough mixing level, this attempt would fail, but with level 5, there’s hardly any chance of messing up.

Indeed, a few seconds later, the two items vanished into thin air—

And in front of me appeared a “Last Elixir” contained in a bottle.

A cheat item capable of fully recovering all allies’ HP while curing all status ailments except near-death.

It’s inferior to the “World Tree’s Dewdrop” in not being able to cure near-death, but still incredibly useful in battle, making it a coveted rare item worldwide.

“Amazing…!”

“It really is a Last Elixir…!”

“So cool… Esmeralda-sensei, you really can do anything…”

The children gasped in surprise all at once.

Well, the Last Elixir is such a rare item you hardly ever find in shops.

And it’s ridiculously expensive, so not something you can just go out and buy readily.

It’s entirely natural for the kids to get excited.

“Heh, no need to be so amazed. If you set your mind to it, you can make plenty of Last Elixirs too.”

“Us…?”

“Of course. You all have the talent. It won’t take long to raise your mixing level.”

As I said that, the children’s eyes began to sparkle.

“Wowwww!”

Well, skill levels can be increased with effort for anyone.

There’s actually no such thing as talent where skill levels are concerned, but arousing the students’ motivation is also an important part of being a teacher.

For the future, when I’ll have these kids work like slaves, it’s beneficial to enhance their individual abilities now.

“We’ll work hard!”

“We’ll follow Esmeralda-sensei for life!”

“We love you, Sensei!”

Seeing the students looking up to me with shining eyes, I couldn’t help but laugh again.

Kukkukku…

I’ll thoroughly develop you into splendid slaves.
