Nothing Matters

==Walkthrough==
*If you have just completed the previous quest, Blast from the Past, you will need to zone before this quest will be given to you. Also, if you have started another quest involving Koru-Moru (such as Carbuncle's Debacle) and not completed it yet, he might not give you the following dialogue. In that case, complete the other quest first.
*Koru-Moru asks you to find someone practiced in the art of Alchemy. 
*Talk to Shantotto (K-7) who will tell you that she remembers that there was a student who was formerly in the school who had interests in alchemy. Yoran-Oran (E-5) also gives additional dialogue.
*Head over to the Aurastery in Windurst Waters (North) and speak to Fuepepe (L-6), who will tell you to search in the Acolyte Hostel for a record. 
*Head north, past the Aurastery, and note the door on the left side of the front of the building. Run between the two sides of the building, and go to each of the doors on the left. Answer the trivia questions correctly, and move to the next door. There are 3 doors, and 3 more to the right side of the building. After answering all the questions correctly (they will ask 2 or 3 other questions if you fail, then begin to loop back to the first), go back to the door on the left side of the front of the Hostel to get Thesis on Alchemy (key item). 
:*If you answer all 6 questions correctly you will receive a Vile Elixir.
:*If you already have a Vile Elixir, and therefore cannot obtain this one, you also cannot receive the Thesis on Alchemy, and will have to in some way dispose of the Vile Elixir you have and then come back to get the cutscene again.
