Alchemists do not need self-cultivation

Seeing that Violet refused, Isaac didn't say anything more.

Since the ball on his first day in the kingdom, he has received a ton of invitations, with many nobles eager to befriend him.

Putting aside his status in Amestris, the title of State Alchemist alone was enough to make them flock to him.

Alchemy is inherently difficult to learn, and the various inheritors in Amestris have kept it hidden, resulting in Amestris, a country that originated from alchemy, having only about 10,000 alchemists. Alchemists are already very popular abroad, not to mention those who stand at the pinnacle of alchemy.

"Well, but my superior wants me to have good relations with the country's upper class. It wouldn't be good to always act aloof and refuse them."

Isaac thought for a moment and said to Violet, "Take out all the invitations that have been sent to you and take a look."

"Ok."

Violet went back to her room and placed a large pile of letters on the dining table.

"First, there's the invitation to a banquet from the Fatila family..."

"Reject it, it's pointless."

"The second letter was an invitation to afternoon tea with the Gwynston family."

“Gwyston? I remember he’s the kingdom’s chief justice,” Isaac said doubtfully. “Just how much do the people of the kingdom love afternoon tea?”

"Are you going?"

"To be determined."

"Yes, then the next one."

Violet picked up the next letter.

"It's from the Kingdom Academy of Sciences. They hope the lieutenant general can provide some guidance for their research in the past."

"What are you researching?"

"The Kingdom is currently working on miniaturizing antigravity materials and hopes the Lieutenant General can come over and offer some suggestions."

The Kingdom of Albion started out with anti-gravity matter. While developing this matter, it also created a large number of air fleets, and thus acquired vast colonies.

Isaac had already done most of his research on the antigravity substance within a day of receiving the C-sphere from Angel, so it wouldn't be a problem for him to go and give them some guidance.

"That's good, I like research-related things."

Violet continued reading the letter in her hand.

Most of them were invitations to banquets, tea parties, or hunting trips, as well as interviews with the London Gazette, things that Isaac had absolutely no interest in.

"This is the last one."

"Hmm, what's the contents of this letter?"

Violet opened the letter and glanced at its contents.

"It's the principal of Queen Mayfair College, who hopes the lieutenant general can go there and give a speech or something."

Isaac had heard of this school; it was a well-known boarding school in the area, established under the policies of the Queen of the Kingdom of Albion, and it enrolled people of different classes, international students, and students from the colonies.

“I heard that the ‘Air Princess’ also takes classes there,” Isaac said. “And if I remember correctly, the two spies who came to Amestris were also students at this school.”

"Should the lieutenant general refuse them?"

"unnecessary."

Isaac took the letter from Violet and put it on his own.

"It would be good to go and take a look."

"Tsk, this outfit is such a hassle."

In his room, Isaac wore a very complicated classic suit and a bow tie that he just couldn't get right around his neck.

"Let me help you."

Violet stepped forward, stood in front of Isaac, and reached out to help him tie his bow tie.

"Is the lieutenant general going to Queen Mayfair College?"

"Well, I don't have anything planned for today anyway, so there's no harm in going to take a look."

After getting dressed in those troublesome clothes, Isaac put on a top hat and struck a few poses in front of the mirror.

It has to be said, they look all slick and hypocritical.

"Violet, are you coming too?"

"Yes."

"Let's go then."

Inside Queen Mayfair College, the students continued their usual routines.

However, the news that Isaac was coming spread like wildfire, and the students were all discussing it.

"Have you heard? It seems that Isaac Yao is coming to our school."

"Huh? Really? That person is actually coming to our school?"

Who is that?

"You don't know?" a female student looked at her friend in surprise. "It's that General Amestris who's always in the newspapers."

"General? I'm not interested in military matters."

"No, besides that, he's also a State Alchemist, the founder of Future Technology Corporation, and the third most powerful person in the world," the girl exclaimed excitedly. "The key point is that he's still very young and unmarried!"

"Huh!?"

"Not only that, I've also heard that he has blood from a prominent family in the new country, but these are just rumors."

"That's great... Hey? You guys said he's coming to our school? Does that mean we have a chance?"

"Maybe that person is single."

"Yeah~"

Isaac's reputation is widespread, but not many people know that he is a general, since not everyone is interested in military affairs.

However, he is better known as a state alchemist and the founder of a company, and he is quite famous for his frequent appearances in newspapers.

As for the ranking of "the most powerful people in the world," it was created jointly by newspapers from several countries.

The first was the emperor of the new kingdom, the second was Olivia, the president of Amestris, the third was Isaac, and the fourth was Her Majesty the Queen of the Kingdom of Albion.

After all, Isaac possessed military power in Amestris and one of the world's largest companies, making him, overall, slightly stronger than the queen of the declining Kingdom of Albion.

Of course, the fact that Isaac is currently single is of great interest to the young ladies in the academy.

Most of the girls at Queen Mayfair College are young ladies from the kingdom's noble class, with only a small number being commoner students and colonial students. In their spare time, these young ladies also attend banquets among various nobles to find their future partners.

The so-called nobles of this country are naturally no match for Isaac, so when they heard that he was coming, they all had some ulterior motives.

What are you talking about?

"what?"

Upon hearing the voice, the girls turned around and found a beautiful blonde girl smiling at them.

"Your Highness... Princess?"

"I'm very sorry, we didn't notice Her Highness."

Charlotte, the fourth in line to the throne of the Kingdom of Albion, is also a student at this academy.

Queen Mayfair College, established under the Queen's education system, was set up to eliminate the class system in this country. To make it seem more like such a thing, the princess was also enrolled in this school.

However, things didn't go as planned. It was impossible for the Kingdom of Albion, with its long-standing class system, to completely eliminate class distinctions. The academy still had a strong tradition of valuing the upper class.

Behind many noble children are a group of supporters consisting of accompanying students and commoner students. In the academy, the sons of marquises can walk sideways in front of the sons of earls, and the sons of earls can also show off in front of the sons of viscounts.

As for those ordinary students, they can probably only keep a low profile at school.

"Let's talk about that person coming to the school."

“Oh, you mean Isaac?” the princess said with a smile. “I’ve heard about him before.”

"Eh? Your Highness knows him too?"

"I not only know him, but I also met him once at an international conference and we chatted briefly."

"Have you already talked about it?"

What kind of person is he? What are his hobbies?

The girls all gathered around the princess.

“Isaac, let me think…” The princess pondered for a moment, then smiled and said to her classmate, “He is a very interesting man.”

"what?"

“I didn’t talk to him much, so I can’t really tell what kind of person he is, but my first impression of him is that he’s the kind of person who goes against traditional values,” the princess said with a smile. “But he’ll probably be hard to get along with.”

Is that so?

“Yes,” the princess said. “It seems like class is about to start, and he’ll be giving a lecture in the common classroom.”

"Public classroom?"

"Let's drive there, or we won't be able to get seats."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

After saying their goodbyes, a group of girls hurriedly ran towards the auditorium, with the princess smiling and waving goodbye behind them.

Not long after they left, a small girl came panting to the princess's side.

"Your Highness, you ran too fast."

"I'm sorry, Beatrice." The princess's smile was as gentle as ever. "Let's go over there now."

"Huh? Where to?"

"Public classroom".
