While the lovebirds were having the night of their lives up on the roof of the school building, down in the depths of the dungeon, something else was going on.Not too long ago, before the arrival of Sidney and Earl back in the school, something else happened. Something bigger.Before that day, Horace and the rest of the staff had always been bugged over something. And that was how in the world something as dangerous as the ORA kept getting involved with their school.The first was the attack in Rainbow forest, which frankly made the least sense.The school goes to great lengths to ensure the safety of its students, and though the second and third years have had run-ins with bandits and beasts, those were under strict planned school activities.Things like letting your students go out on very low rank missions for experience and extra credit was nothing new.Ruby and Henry did that in the beginning of their first year. Earl also indirectly did that when he killed the evolving phoenix.

The morning of the day that Earl would eventually confess to Annie and ask her to be his girlfriend, something else had taken place.This occurred in the time between him telling Jake, Sidney, and Williams about his plans, and the time the plans would actually take place.Earl was in the office of principal Horace, on the floor, his head on the floor, his arms stretched out on the floor, and his knees bent to their most extreme.Horace wore a rather annoyed look on his face, his arms folded and a stack of paperwork on his desk."Get up, Earl," said Horace, "please please please please please please please please please please please, principal Horace, just this once," said Earl."Saying please more than once won't be changing my mind," said Horace, "Porfabor," "Earl," "Onegaishimasu," "Earl," "pretty please, with sprinkles on top," Earl persisted.Horace let out an annoyed sigh, followed by a slight grunt before pinching the space in between his eyes."So, Earl. You want me to give yo

Chapters 225: A winner, Earl Vs SidneyCrystal still stayed in shock as she slowly turned her head around to see Jake. He had most likely used his wind to slow his fall so that when he landed next to her it would sound like he was farther away.She was still completely capable of fighting. They'd only just started the fight after all, and she hadn't shown all she had to offer, but the fight was already over.If this was a real fight to the death, he would've lopped off her head in that moment. Perhaps she was just overconfident before, but she'd been sloppy in her first match.No, she couldn't even make herself think she would've done better. There were still two people she would fight later, she could show more of her power then.As for now? She'd totally lost. A smile sat on her face. "Whoa... You weren't playing around," said Crystal. "I kept your face in tact, now you can seduce Henry another time without worrying about how pretty you are," Jake smirked."You think I'm pretty?" As

Sidney was there, holding himself up using nothing but one of his hands, and with a crystal spike not too far away from his throat, he accepted whole heartedly that he lost the fight."I can win her in close quarters combat," said Crystal. "That's probably what you were thinking right?" She smiled. Sidney couldn't help but see the irony of the whole situation.He'd known that the Lloyd's were stronger than normal, but he'd put his hopes in his enhanced body holding out. And it was the right call at the end. He bet on himself and won.His enhanced body proved strong enough to withstand the 100% force of the Lloyd's, but what he'd misjudged was Crystal's battle iq.She waited for the instant his hand made contact with the floor and picked her moment to strike perfectly.As Sidney remained upside down, he dispersed the mana he'd gathered in his throat, allowing the tiny alchemy circle to show itself.A mouth came out from the alchemy circle, biting repeatedly like a pair of jittering tee

As the smoke cleared from the battle fought, on the floor was Jake and Sidney, both with satisfied looks on their faces.Earl and Crystal had their mouths held open in complete shock. They had a feeling the match would end quickly, but not in one attack.Both of them had their mouths held open in complete and utter shock and confusion. Crystal slowly turned to look and Earl, and Earl slowly turned to look at Crystal."That was..." Said Earl, "... So cool," said Crystal. Their shocked expressions slowly turned into huge smiles."Those guys are crazy," laughed Crystal. "I know right... They're even crazier than I am," said Earl with a huge smile on his face.Both of them hopped down from the training dummies and made their way over to the middle of the training grounds.Sidney and Jake were both huffing and puffing on the floor, breathing heavily. Blood ran down the side of both their faces."Wh-what... are we gonna... do now?" Said Jake. "What do you mean?" Said Sidney, "I won that fig
