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
Rey was now in the process of extracting the essence of the Crimson Lotus, and didn't know that there was a side effect in extracting such an ingredient. "Ha! Why do I feel some scorching pain inside me?" Asked, Rey. "M-Master, I forgot to tell you something." Ellie stuttered. "What is it?" Rey felt more of the scorching pain inside his body as he spoke. "Based on my knowledge, the process of extracting the Crimson lotus will have a side effect in which the alchemist that was processing the extraction would feel the scorching pain that it gives." Said, Ellie. "Why didn't you tell me earlier? I-I ugh! So hot!" Thus Rey started to endure the pain and think of it as his training and focused on the extraction. "Look at his face, it's as if he was restraining his poop!" Said by one of the spectators who were seated at the side of the hall. "Rey, you really look like you're restraining your poop right now." Said, Alchemist Johann. Laughing inwardly. Thus half an hour passes.. "Finall
From an alchemists perspective, the word banquet would only mean paradise to them since it is a kind of place where almost high-rank alchemists gathered. And by means of that, they could inquire about some certain things that are about alchemy work. Especially a technique of a certain procedure.But for a witch, a banquet would only mean a war. There was that town from a far northeast part where Witches resides. They were individuals who hated the alchemist's way of making pills.Witches were originally having some similarities with an Alchemist who oath to realize what's the limitations of alchemy works. But then, Witches began to make their own techniques that they proudly believed is a way to surpass their limits. This technique was not some kind of orthodox way but unorthodox that will involve the lives of any beings.They were that kind of notorious but no one has yet to do anything to them. Some attempted but died in the process. There were also rumors that there was that pe
