After leaving the blacksmithing room, I saw Elen leaving the adjacent room with an excited look on her face.
"Adrian! Oh my god, you were right. Although I have failed the first few times, I learned from the mistakes I made and I was finally able to make a mortal grade potion...Although It was more expensive to make it than to actually to buy it from the store, haha." Elen scratched the side of her head.
Looking at this scene unfold, I couldn't help but smile at Elen's infectious enthusiasm. The pride radiating from her was well-deserved after what must have been hours of frustrating attempts before finally succeeding.
I laughed at her admission about the cost exceeding the potion's value. "That's the beauty of learning, isn't it? The first attempts are always expensive lessons, but each failure teaches you something invaluable."
