What Do You Mean There Are Other Transmigrators In My Harem Fantasy?

I managed to get through the entire class without punching his face and I think that should be an achievement…

Especially when Lisa finally gave us ‘permission’ to test the potions we made and I took one of it to drink…

The moment I uncapped it and put the liquid into my mouth… I immediately spat it back out.

“Blehhhh!! So bitter!!” I spat, scrambling to take out a Milgras herb to cleanse the bitter taste in my mouth.

“What the heck? How dare you?” Bracca growled, clearly offended by my action.

“Blehhhh! Why is it so bitter?!” I groaned, finally managing to find the herb in question before throwing it in my mouth to chew.

The mint taste of the herb quickly overpowered the bitterness, cleansing my mouth of that foul taste.

“What are you talking about? Mana potions are always bitter!”

I couldn’t help myself after tasting something like that so I spoke up instinctively, “No, normal stamina potions are the ones that taste bitter! Mana potions taste sweet!”

He scoffed, “It’s no wonder you’re such a poor student if that’s the state of the potions you make. Mana potions are not sweet you dumb ass.”

It seems like another classmate of mine also couldn’t take it anymore and raised his hand slightly to get his attention, “Err… Actually, Aster is–“

“Both of you, what happened here?” Lisa interrupted, suddenly appearing beside me.

I swallowed, sighing slightly as the taste of that foul mana potion finally dissipated, “Sorry Li– Professor Lisa… I am not used to bitter tasting mana potions…”

Bracca had his arms folded and he was glaring at me with a look of contempt on his face, obviously expecting Lisa to be on his side to tell me that I was wrong.

Lisa narrowed her eyes before shaking her head, “Everyone clean up, class is over. As I said, both of you stay behind.”

My classmates all gave me looks of sympathy as they started cleaning up their own stations.

I smiled at each of them to show that it was alright while I started cleaning my own station as well.

As I went towards the cauldron to start cleaning it, I felt my collar suddenly yanked back.

Instinct took over me and I flipped around to grab the hand that had been holding on to my collar and I pulled Bracca into a standing arm lock.

I growled at him, “Do not. Touch. Me.”

“Ow, ow, ow!! You’re hurting me! Professor Lisa! She’s hurting me!”

Lisa didn’t even look in our direction, “Aster, let him go.”

I shoved him away and crossed my arms, “What did you pull me for?”

He groaned, taking a moment to massage the arm that I pulled, “Why were you walking towards the cauldron? We should be cleaning up.”

I gave him a look that was filled with as much disbelief I could pack into it as possible, “That’s what I was doing? Cleaning up the cauldron?”

He pointed towards the water fountain powered by a water Mana Crystal at the front of the class, “Then you should be getting a bucket to get water from there right?”

I didn’t even bother to explain and merely started my chant to cast [Aqua Ball], the ball of water materialising above me before I directed the water to splash into the cauldron.

He looked at the cauldron for a good long minute before turning to look at me, “You could have just told me that you knew Hydromancy.”

I didn’t even want to point out the fact that he didn’t even give me the chance to tell him that and just went over to the cauldron to clean it up.

I left the table for him to clear and concentrated on manipulating the water to cleanse the cauldron.

When I poured out the water into the drain below the cauldron, I realised that Bracca was just standing behind watching me, the guy not even bothering to help me clean the rest of the table.

“Are you… Expecting me to clean everything up?” I asked, gesturing to the table.

“Why should someone with better alchemy skills than you be relegated to such menial tasks? Without me, you wouldn’t even be able to brew that potion.”

This motherfu– Calm, calm… I still need him in one piece to figure out what’s wrong with Lisa… Also, I can’t just beat him up in front of the rest of my classmates.

At least most of the class had already finished cleaning up and were already leaving so it should be empty by the time I actually finish cleaning up.

Sure enough, by the time I was done, the class was already empty aside for Lisa, the idiot and myself.

Lisa went over to shut the door before gesturing for us to come closer to her.

Bracca immediately moved towards her at a speed that was faster than walking but just a little slower than running.

When he realised I was taking my time to walk towards her, he scowled and beckoned at me.

“Hurry up! How can you make us wait for you?!”

I didn’t even bother saying anything and just quickened my pace slightly to stop beside him, making sure there was at least an arm’s length of distance between us.

Lisa nodded at Bracca, “You obviously learned alchemy from someone before coming here right? Who was your master?”

He scratched his cheek, “Ah… Well… I would say that he’s my benefactor. He had told me not to mention his name as he would like to be unknown but I owe everything to him. He taught me everything I know including alchemy as well.”

“I see… And do you know where he learned his alchemy skills?”

“Umm… Is there a problem?”

“No, I just wanted to see if he had the same teacher as I did or maybe studied at the same place.”

“Oh! Umm… Unfortunately I do not think that is possible because he said he was self taught.”

Lisa nodded, “I see, I see. Is he in the city now?”

“Oh, no. I came here alone. He left on a mi– On a journey.”

“That’s unfortunate… I would have liked to talk to him about alchemy.”

Bracca bumped his chest with fist, “I can talk with you, professor Lisa! I know everything that he knows after all! How about we start right now?”

Lisa smiled at him, “Did you forget? We’re here for extra lessons.”

He turned to me and frowned, “Ah yes… I don’t understand why professor Lisa even bothers. It’s quite clear that she’s a lost cause if she’s unable to improve despite all the effort you have put into her. She doesn’t even take her classes seriously and has been absent in a number of them, hasn’t she?”

Oh… I think I realised something… This guy doesn’t know I’m a Special Class Student, does he? Do I tell him?

Lisa nodded, “It is my duty as a teacher to guide my students after all. Before we start, I would like the both of you to try out the mana potion I brewed so that you can have a frame of reference of what a good one feels like.”

Bracca couldn’t have moved faster to receive the potion from her, holding it reverently like he was handling something really precious.

“Could I… Could I just keep this instead, professor Lisa? I feel like I am not worthy enough to drink this…”

“No, drink it,” Lisa answered simply.

He sighed but obeyed nevertheless.

I reached out and took my bottle of potion from Lisa and moved to uncork it until Lisa unexpectedly stopped me.

“Hold on, Aster. Listen to what Bracca has to say about it first.”

Err… Ok?

I had to wait a while for the idiot to finish drinking the potion as he was taking his own sweet time savouring it like he was drinking some expensive wine.

The moment the bottle was empty, he lowered it onto the table reverently and opened his mouth to say his thoughts.

“Ah! It really is refreshing! As expected of professor Lisa! Only someone as great as you would be able to create a potion of such high quality!”

This little bitch…

Lisa then turned to me, “Go ahead, Aster.” Explore more at m,v le,mpyr

I uncorked the bottle and downed the bottle, only to realise that unlike the bitter potion I drank… This was sweet!

Ahhh! It’s so sweet! So delicious! I went ahead to gulp down the entire bottle and let out a satisfied sigh when I finished.

“Hmph! So even you can realise how great professor Lisa is huh?” Bracca sneered, his gaze on the empty bottle in my hand. “I hope you treasure such an opportunity while you can.”

I peeked at Lisa and I saw her looking at me with a blank look in her eyes.

I almost thought that this was the telltale sign of her being brainwashed or mind controlled until I saw the twitching in the corner of both her lips and eyes.

Oh… Ohhh… Ohhhhhh!

She’s been pretending all this while!!

But… For what though?
