He and Vivian had already agreed to meet at the entrance of the Magic Potion Association early tomorrow morning to attend the Magic Pharmacist Apprentice assessment together.
Vivian naturally had also studied Magic Potion, though not as specialized as Duke.
Magic Potion and Alchemy were mandatory courses at the Thorn Holy Tower, required learning for every Wizard Apprentice.
