Thus Rey began to raise his left hand and bidded twice as what the black-hooded man does. "Two thousand? That much?" "Hmm, what will you do now?' Muttered Rey, looking at the face of the black-hooded man behind the seats. "Tsk!" The tension between the two rose as the auctionist counted down the current bid. "2000 Crystal Stones, at twice!" "I-I bid 2100 Crystal Stones!" The black-hooded man raised his hand and bid once again. "3000 Crystal Stones!" Said, Rey. "Y-You!" The black-hooded man stood up and eventually leave the scene, indicating that Rey had won the bid. "That guy must be certainly from a rich family!" *Chitter-chatter* *Chitter-chatter* Thus the auction continued once again. "Ha! What a day.." Muttered Rey, coming out of the auction. Khufra who was in Rey's dimensional space began to feel something ominous as soon as Rey held the Witch's Orb. "Brother, that orb's dreadful innergy was really strong!" Said, Khufra. "It certainly is. This much curse innergy
Thus Rey decided not to kill them yet because of the sympathy he has for an elf and started to interrogate them as to why they attacked him and or if there was more reason to do so. At first, they didn't talk or even give a glimpse of a reason not to kill them, but as soon as they were about to die by the hands of Rey, they began to talk in a haste. In fact, Rey was not really going to kill them, but only to scare them a little bit. He knows for sure that they will want to live no matter what since he can, after all, decipher lies and not. "So, tell me what really makes you all to do this? Wait and before that, what was your name?" Asked, Rey. "My name was Alberad and the reason for our action was because of the Witch Orb that you possessed. That Witch Orb will be the key to saving my clansmen and that is why we are here not to kill for fun or to kill for revenge, but to take what was in you to save the lives of my clansmen." He said. "Hmm, may you tell me what was your clansmen s
After purchasing a seemingly like a villa in the town of alchemists, Rey began to prepare what he needs for the banquet that will start at midnight at the Alchemist Hall. "Hmm, what should I wear?" Muttered Rey. Looking at the clothes he could wear for an occasion such as a gathering of alchemists. "Should I wear a formal suit just like back then?" He asked himself. Remembering the days when he wore a black suit on meeting a distinguished guest, the former king of Beast Kingdom. "Are you ready for later, Rey?" Alchemist Johann knocked the door as he spoke. "Yes, come in." "Ohh?" As soon as he went in, he was astounded to find Rey dressed in a black suit, which was unusual for Johann given that Rey was wearing something from Earth that does not exist or had not yet developed in this new world. "Does this work for me?" Rey inquired. Removing some dust from his outfit. "Of course it does. Do you have another one like that?" Alchemist Johann showed interest after seeing Rey's unusua
Town of alchemists is a town whereas the name suggests, is where alchemist reside and do their alchemy work. They sometimes share their knowledge and recipe with each other, thus an Alchemist Hall was made which began to get its recognition in only about a year. The Alchemist Hall has become the main attraction to all of the foreign people who wished to study alchemy work. There are Alchemy School where people wants to study alchemy work which after they graduate, they would immediately receive one or two-star alchemist badge. Alchemist Hall has two parts; External Hall which was for apprentice alchemists, and an Internal Hall that master or grandmaster alchemist can only enter.
Rey and Alchemist Johann finally entered the Internal Hall, the place where the gathering was conducted. On each side of the Hall, one could witness such an event where alchemist talk with each other that is conversing through alchemy work. "What a lively gathering." Muttered Rey, as he looks at the alchemist on each side who were happily conversing with each other. "Well, this is an alchemist gathering after all, and an alchemist was bound to attend since we all pursue improvements for our alchemy work and with this gathering, we all could learn a thing or two with other alchemists." Said, Alchemist Johann." "Hmm, with this many alchemist on one place, a country was bound to flourish." "Of course, how could this town become what it is without the help of alchemists? Ahh! Rey, would you mind staying here for a second?" He asked. "Why all of a sudden?" Rey was curious but have an abrupt idea to what Alchemist Johann trying to say." "I saw some friends and I want to have a few c
The banquet continued as Rey was talking to Alchemist Warren. And then, suddenly, the host that introduced Founder Ian earlier began to walk towards the center of the Hall once again and is about to announce something that seems to be more important than the whole gathering of Alchemist. "Is it finally time?" Rey asked to himself as he witness the host approach the center of the hall. The Host finally arrived at the center of the hall, and spoke, "This gathering was not meant to be just a gathering to share one's knowledge and technique in regards to alchemy work, but to witness our prodigies who achieved the greatest of their alchemy skills, though might young as they are. Founder Ian commenced such a showdown just for the young alchemist, who, particularly was scouted and especially invited to be able to showcase their alchemy skills, hence, showdown of the next generation!" It's as the host says. The Banquet was not meant to be just a simple gathering of Alchemists, but to witne
The introduction of the participants continued for a few minutes until Rey’s turn. Rey was about to introduce himself in a soimple way, but then, he noticed that someone was trying to call him discreetly. "Hmm?" Rey looked around and finally saw who was discreetly calling for his name. "Don't forget to mention your teacher, Rey~!" Said by Alchemist Johann, as he smiled at the end of his words. "Ha! You really-" Rey hesitated to introduce himself until the man who was beside him suddenly spoke, "Will you please introduce yourself now? Don't make us wait and waste our precious time!" The man snored as he looked at Rey's face in disgust. "Ohh?" Rey felt threatened and is about to release heavy pressure, but he calmed himself, and muttered, "I am a generous guy.. Yes, I am... Bullying a man like this man would only implicate others." He took back the pressure that he was about to unleash earlier and finally introduce himself. "I am Rey, a new alchemist who recently acquired my first
The first round of the alchemist's showdown ended after several hours of question and answer. Roland, an alchemist and a hunter at the same time won the 4th place of the 1st round with Warren as the 3rd placer. Rey was the second as Hazel took the 1st place after getting more than twenty-five points. “I will now officially announce the end of the first round of the alchemy showdown, and as for the finale, we will call it ‘Alchemicalistic!’ A round where our participants would require to make a pill and those who can make a higher pill than the others will win the finale." The host smiled at the end of his words. "But wouldn't this place not be suitable for such thing as making a pill?" Asked by Roland. "That is why our founder proposed to change the venue right now so as to not hinder the success rate of making a pill. Then shall we go to the back of Alchemist Hall?" The host showed the way as he spoke. "A change of venue, huh?" Muttered, Rey. "Wait, did the host just say, the bac
