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
They ultimately reached the domain of the fairies, and as soon as they set foot to the beginning of the threshold, the alchemists felt a very warm and extremely friendly innergy, while as they walked closer, they felt a sense of being watched from afar. Some tried to use their ability to conceal themselves, but founder Ian stopped them from doing so. "W-Wait, where are we?" Asked by Ronald. "Founder Ian suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and said, "Follow me.." He showed the way at the end of his words. After a few seconds, they arrived at a conspicuous door frame without a door and abruptly came to a halt in front of the door frame. "A portal frame? Or no?" Rey talked to himself as he analyzed the frame in front of them. In a matter of minutes, the innergy that had been radiating from earlier suddenly congregated into one location and was finally absorbed by the portal frame, making it appear to be a real gateway connecting to another dimension. Hazel approached Founder Ian, and
The fairies, accompanied by founder Ian and his wife began to seat onto the sides of the hall to watch the entire alchemy work. "Mage Ian, I was getting curious till now, but why did you suddenly commence such a showdown here at this sacred place?" The guardian fairy inquired. "Well, you've been curious to how alchemist do their work so there it is. And my wife really want to see an event like this and you know that she can't go outside just yet." Founder Ian turned his attention toward the participants, and said, "As I have said earlier, one would need to make a pill that was much higher ranking than the others to win, and in order to do that, make use of your unique way of concocting pills and don't be wary towards us." "But, sir Ian, how could we start without a furnace?" Asked Warren. "You're right." Founder Ian began to approach the center of the hall and stretched out his arms and in just a few moments, dozens of high-quality furnaces and different kinds of ingredients appea
As soon as Rey began to walk closer to his chosen furnace, the spectators, specially Founder Ian was looking forward to what Rey would make since he was doing nothing for a whole hour whilst Warren had already made his third-grade pill. "So, what was the uses of these ingredients, Ellie?" Asked, Rey. "As I know, the Twin Golden Grass has a calming scent and a remedy for scorching pain. It also has a miraculous ability to smoothen the inner wires of the body so once the taker took a certain pill, it would almost immediately relieves the taker from any scorching pain and the essence of the pill will smoothly go into what it must go." Explained, Ellie. "I See.. If this has that kind of effect, why didn't the alchemist use this as their relieving side ingredient when making a certain pill?" "It was because they need to first find the heart of the Twin Golden Grass where the essence was located to be able to extract it. And since it would only double the time of your concoction and can
Rey put an alchemy liquid into the furnace and is now transmitting his black flame onto the lower stove to increase the furnace temperature and to boil the alchemist liquid before doing anything. TRIVIA: Alchemy Liquid is a type of liquid that can be found in the deepest part of the cave. This liquid was essential for doing alchemy work since it would help the alchemist in extracting and combining the ingredients or in a more sense, the liquid serves as the way for the alchemist's innergy infusion. Thus Rey began to put the first ingredient, the Twin Golden Grass onto the furnace while simultaneously increased the burning rate of his black flame. After some time, the temperature increased to a very hot degree and immediately commenced the second step which was the ‘path-finding.’ He infused his own innergy into the Twin Golden Grass and is on the process of finding the right path through the heart of the Twin Golden Grass itself which its essence was located. "Hoho? I didn't know t
