El has lab with Lissa, which is great, since Lissa talks to her. Not with Bobbie, alas, though at least she gets an escort to class. It's a good slot - or, it would be a good slot for an alchemist, or an upperclassman, and El's neither of those, but at least anything really aggressive will have already gotten into a fight during the first block, and she just has to avoid the lurkier sorts of mals while collecting her ingredients.

Her assignment is making hydrogen peroxide. She has an extra credit section where it explains how to cause it to undergo explosive thermal decomposition but fortunately that doesn't seem to be required; if she wants to keep it and dilute it for removing bloodstains and using as mouthwash the lab will not stop her. There's spells involved, so she raises some mana with stretches before even heading to the supply cupboards; that way if she has to murder anything therein she'll be ready to go.
