The surrounding older students were all taken aback, not expecting a newcomer to dare to take on such a difficult task.
One of them said, "Junior Brother, you've just arrived at the Sacred Institute, so you're not yet familiar with how things work here. The tasks aren't to be taken lightly; there's real danger involved. For example, in tasks that involve slaying Demon Beasts, if you take one on and fail, you'll either be injured or killed. While a task like this alchemy one might seem safe, it actually comes with its own losses. You have to provide the Medicinal Materials for the extraction yourself, and that's a huge expense. If you fail, all those materials are wasted, and that's your own loss to bear."
