There's no immediate rush to reduce the death rate of Witcher mutations.
After all, even a Witcher apprentice undergoing the initial mutation experiments needs four to five years of training, and the most dangerous Trial of the Grasses usually waits until they are around fifteen or sixteen, so there's plenty of time.
However, the injectable Witcher potions indeed gave Guilliman a great surprise and even significantly helped his own combat effectiveness.
He discovered that after injecting the potion intravenously, the time it took for the elixir to take effect was shortened from the traditional several minutes, or even more than ten minutes of meditation, to thirty seconds to one minute.
This is likely because the efficiency of drug absorption through the gastrointestinal tract is far inferior to its circulation throughout the body via blood vessels.
This also means that in the future, when Witchers face monsters, they won't need to drink potions in advance and wait for them to take effect.
Instead, they can freely switch potions according to the actual combat situation and their own needs.
If they were also equipped with a White Honey potion that could detoxify, they could even switch potions during combat, greatly enhancing the Witchers' adaptability.
And the quarter reduction in potion production costs also facilitates the popularization of potions.
Once his Witcher Academy gains fame and scale, the Witchers' salary levels will naturally increase, and they will no longer have to live such hard lives as before.
After leaving the Valley of Flowers and returning to Black Gull Island,
Guilliman immediately gathered his Witcher brothers and shared the good news with everyone.
Since the battle against the Wild Hunt ended, only Ged, one of the three Bear School Witchers, remained on the island. He would sometimes take on tasks around Vizima to clear his head.
He had already agreed to Guilliman's invitation to join the Witcher Academy and become a Bear School mentor there.
Although Bear School Witchers might be the most numerous Witchers currently in existence,
since their founder, Anahard, left, they no longer had their own academy, and there seemed to be very few reports of new Witchers being trained.
The seemingly crude, uninhibited Ged appears to want to actively take on the responsibility of preserving the school's legacy, training a generation of disciples in his lifetime.
Besides him, Berengar of the Wolf School and Gaetan of the Cat School, two Witchers who yearned for a peaceful life, were also willing to become mentors at the academy and teach the students there.
As for the Viper School, despite being the most eager to pass on their school's legacy and re-establish an academy, their attitude was quite cautious.
This was probably because they came from the Southern Continent and were not familiar enough with the Northern Kingdoms.
However, this time, when Guilliman presented new achievements that Witchers, who had been living off old reserves since the dissolution of the Witcher Order, had never seen before,
not only did the eyes of those who had already agreed to join the academy sparkle even brighter, but even the eyes of the Viper School members showed a change.
The ability to conduct new research and development, improve Witcher formulas, enhance Witcher techniques, and train new Witcher apprentices—
this meant that Witchers were no longer a group that could only live off past glory, simply wait for death, and were destined for extinction.
Hope for the future, for Witchers, is as important as their legacy.
With the addition of three Witchers from the Wolf, Cat, and Bear Schools, plus himself, a half-baked Viper School Witcher, the academy now possessed the swordsmanship, Signs, and monster knowledge of four schools.
The Witcher Academy's inheritance was already quite rich, enough to fully train a group of Witcher apprentices from scratch.
Guilliman distributed the sets of syringes and potions he had received from Francesca to everyone present.
Not only that, but he also gave each of the veteran Witchers present an enchanted dragonbone longsword with a soul trap, and two large soul gems capable of storing one hundred points of soul power.
He explained to the Witchers how to hunt monsters and acquire their souls.
"From now on, whenever you hand me a fully charged soul gem, you will receive one hundred Orens as payment, or exchange it for one hundred Academy points."
"I will offer some special items I acquire as rewards, allowing everyone to exchange them using points."
"Later, I will also provide various weapons, equipment, even special magical potions, or various magical items."
