But it seems that for Professor Mia, my life is more important as she refused to accept my proposal and was adamant about defeating the Gate boss monster.
"Professor Mia, are you really serious about finding the boss?"
I asked, a little irritated. I might not die immediately even if I don't have potions.
But it was different for Professor Mia if she met the Gate Boss. She would certainly die if she confronted the Boss right now.
It had been a few days since we started venturing into different parts of the Gate and searching for a boss.
I thought she would give up after I continuously persuaded her but Professor Mia was determined to find the Gate Boss.
So, I couldn't help but become a little irritated.
"It is better to conquer the Gate. That has a high chance of surviving."
This is the reason she has been giving me so far. However, I know the real reason already.
But it was no use saying.
( This stubborn woman!!!. )
It really seems that she can't be persuaded to change after she decided on her objective.
If so, I can only help her. If I wait for a few more days and she has still not given up, our potions will be empty and she might fight with Boss monster without any potions.
I wanted to give this to her before I die, but it seems that Professor Mia will not give up.
I took out a potion from my spatial ring and handed it to Professor Mia.
Professor Mia asks confusingly as she had never seen this type of potion.
"We need to find an isolated area. This potion will help you to rank up."
Yes, the potion that I gave to Professor Mia was one of the two S-Rank up potions that I currently have.
If Professor Mia is so determined to fight with Boss monster, it would be better if she did it after ascending to Rank-S -.
She would have a better chance of finishing off the Boss monster if she ascended to Rank-S -.
No doubt that she would be able to break through with this potion. With Professor Mia's talent, she should have naturally broken through to Rank-S - in one or two years' time.
Even in the novel, she ascended to Rank-S before Hiro and others graduated from the Ace Academy.
Professor Mia asked, doubting what I just said.
It was already good that she is not cursing me for telling lies. There is no potion that could help Rank-A + to break through currently in the market.
"Yes, trust me. Or I can drink this and show you that it is not harmful."
She must be worrying about the potion being fake or me trying to trick her.
Though it will be a waste for me to drink the potion, if this is what it takes to make Professor Mia trust me, then I was ready.
"No, I trust you. It is just… just that the fact that there is a potion to help breakthrough to Rank-S is unbelievable."
Zero might be young to understand the true impact of his invention( though he stole it from the novel).
But Professor Mia could see what this potion could do. It could break the balance of power between different species in Edolas.
If humans have this potion, we could have thousands of Rank-S humans who could be deployed everywhere in times of war.
In wars, Rank-S are treated like rare resources which are only deployed to change the direction of war.
Only in the important event do they participate because we can't waste Rank-S heroes who are less in number
But with Zero's potion (which she didn't know from where he acquired), we could supply that rare S-Rank in thousands.
Thousand S-Rank was enough to win every battle. Humans could topple the balance between different species and become the top being in the world.
However, Zero does not seem to see the effect that this potion could bring, or was it that he trusts Me, Professor Mia thought.
She didn't know the answer. Nevertheless, Professor Mia kept in mind to tell Zero about not showing this potion to anyone after exiting the Gate.
Right now, she has to use this potion to break through to Rank-S -. After her ascension, her chance of beating the boss monster would go up.
They found a place where there was no monster. With Professor Mia's senses, she was able to survey everything within a 1 km radius.
She confirmed there was no danger and proceeded to ascend to Rank-S.
It had been a few hours since Professor Mia had gone into seclusion in a nearby cave to break through to Rank-S.
She was already at the peak of Rank-A+, so a breakthrough might be easier for her. I just needed to wait for her to ascend.
And there was this huge release of mana coming from Professor Mia's direction.
I had already witnessed Glenn, Guildmaster of NightShade breaking through Rank-S but in comparison, Professor Mia's mana was much more profound, both in terms of quantity and quality.
It was the fact from this mana that she is more powerful and talented than Glenn. Even as a newly ascended S-Rank, she might be able to overwhelm Glenn who had broken through Rank-S months back.
After a few minutes, Professor Mia came out of the cave and thanked me happily.
"Thank you, Zero. With this, I might be able to easily win."
I don't know whether to accept such a compliment when I am the reason that Professor Mia would need to face the Gate boss.
Anyway, no need to think about such things again. Professor Mia would not change her mind, I just need to help her.
"Anyway, we need to quickly find the boss."
Professor Mia said worriedly. While Zero looks right now, she knows that his injuries are very serious.
She needed to find the boss and defeat him as soon as possible to get out of this Gate and treat Zero.
"Ah! I already know where the boss is."
