White Alchemist The aftermath and preparation
Earl laid in the hospital room in silence, he was wide awake, but drowsy, ever since waking up, he felt uncomfortable, he never did like hospitals, in fact he hated them, "What happened?" he asked out loud to himself as he began recalling the events that happened, he remembered passing out, the masked people, Christopher, getting his arm cut off, the HP message, the white space, and the reports he heard on the incident while being carried here. He sat on the bed thinking when Mr Adam walked into the room, "How're you feeling Earl?" he asked as he handed Earl a glass of water, "I'm fine", Earl replied, "just trying to recall whatever just happened", he added as he proceeded to down the water till about halfway, he then placed the glass of water on a table beside his hospital bed as the two sat in silence in the small hospital room. The room wasn't big, it had a single small air conditioner off at the side, a bed at the middle of the room, and chairs right beside the d
White Alchemist Gaining experience in more ways than one
It was early in the morning, around 6am or so, the fresh morning breeze and the elegant sound of natures music filled the air, gentle and subtle footsteps could be heard ever so slightly as Earl walked about the shop, he had a broom in hand, and other cleaning tools by his side. With light yet vigorous strokes of his hand, and a sweet humming melody, Earl cleaned the entire shop, from dusting the shelves, to mopping the floor, the presence of a speck of dirt was unfathomable, and what's more, the graceful dance that went with the cleaning motions were nothing short of euphoric. eventually another set of footsteps could be heard coming down the stairs. although not as elegant and gentle, they too had a blissful rhythm accompany it, Earl turned his head ever so slightly towards the stairs as that was where the second set of footsteps originated from, the light red bandana he had tied up to his forehead waved slightly as his neatly packed hair had their own set of mo
White Alchemist A strange visitor
Earl stared down at his shattered blade in disbelief, "What the-" Earl tried to say before his senses once again shot up, and he sensed danger coming. Earl quickly dived left, avoiding the strange beast, it rolled like a bowling ball at blazing fast speed, before destroying the tree that Earl once stood against. "This beast… my sword… I have to…" Earl stuttered to himself as he glued his gaze to the beast. "Did… did that b-beast… just" Earl muttered as he watched the unthinkable, he could clearly see metal razor sharp blades recede into its back as it got up from the tree. The beast then turned its attention over to Earl before snarling and growling at him, its twin tails rose up in the air, the blades Earl witnessed resurfaced, and its huge claws dug into the ground as it readied to pounce. The third eye skill then activated once more, alerting Earl of the coming attack, but Earl was frozen in place The beast stared down Earl in a menacing manner,
White Alchemist Performing Alchemy for the first time
Earl, Jake and Norman all stood outside the shop out on the front porch, a gentle breeze blew past the three, with a warm fuzzy smile on Norman's face, he addressed the two young boys in front of him. "I'm gonna teach you guys something called Heka" Norman said with a smile on his face, both boys looked at eachother confused before looking back at Norman, "What's that?" Earl asked. "You see mana is used in performing alchemy, Ki is used in performing ki based attacks known as Hiori, Heka on the other hand is kind of like an in-between of both of these" Norman said maintaining the smile on his face. Jake looked rather confused, and Earl knew why, although both of them were well versed in Alchemy and mana, Ki was a concept only Earl and his club members had learned of so far, so he kind of knew why Jake was confused "Mana is the eternal energy of someone, it's what allows us to do alchemy" Earl said to Jake, Jake turned over with an annoyed look on his face"I kno
White Alchemist A visit and a battle
"Thank you and have a nice day" Earl said as he watched a customer walk out of the store, his eyes were droopy, and his movements were sluggish, it was obvious he was tired.'So this is the after effects of fulmination huh?' Earl thought to himself as he let out a huge yawn. once again, he heard the doorbell ring, and his body twitched at the sound, his eyes sunk as he awaited the next customer that would drain what little life force he had left. he was happy to watch his grandpa's shop, but the stress coupled with the after effects of the Heka technique was taking a toll on his body. he looked over at the door hoping for the worst but a slight smile climbed his face when he saw his grandpa walk through the front door"grandpa you're back" Earl said as he slumped over to his grandpa Ollie, "whoa, Earl you look exhausted" grandpa Ollie said as he walked towards Earl. "yeah papi, I'm so tired" Earl said before falling flat on his face on the floor, grandpa Ollie was
White Alchemist A Phoenix?
Earl took a stance and held his sword in his left hand, he took a defensive stance as the Saber fangs surrounded him, "I thought They're lone hunters unless moving in packs of three or four, why are they six of them?" Earl asked himself. during the training regimen, Earl found out that doing the exercises everyday also raised his stats, specifically strength, speed, stamina, agility and defense, they had all raised by four. he was significantly stronger than when he first fought a saber fang, but if there's one thing he had learned, it was that these things were one of the fastest intermediate beasts out there. ordinarily that wouldn't have been a problem, considering the fact that the third eye skill was able to increase both Speed and Agility by 10, but they were 5 of them. although the group effect of the third eye skill made time significantly longer, it doesn't exactly combine the time for each beasts, for example. when facing a single foe, time would
White Alchemist Survival and a gift
"What did you say?" Grandpa Ollie repeated as the look of shock resided on his face, "a tier jump?!" grandpa Ollie asked the man, he gave a slight nod in reply. a 'tier jump' was a phenomenon that was really uncommon amongst both beasts and humans, but although this is said, it almost never happens amongst humans, in fact only twelve people throughout history have experienced a tier jump, the most recent being King Hert IV, but although they weren't as uncommon amongst beasts, it was a very rare occurrence. a tier jump is described as when a beast or human's power suddenly increases resulting in a jump in the current tier of the beast, some causes may include ingestion of powerful artifacts, staying in an area of highly concentrated mana or even recovering from severe illness or injuries, often ones that would result in death on any normal occasion. but the true cause of it remains speculative, these are just all the various circumstances in which humans had received a tier jump,
White Alchemist Selection
It was really early in the morning, around 5am or so, and the ever eager Earl was standing outside by the front door to the shop, with a backpack in tow, phoenix was still asleep on top of Earl's head and his grumpy grandfather was standing at the shop's front door smoking his clay pipe. "You know, normally I wouldn't care and would've just stayed in bed, but if your really going to wait for the bus you should at least have breakfast first" said grandpa Ollie, but it seemed like his words fell on deaf ears as Earl sustained his enthusiasm and didn't even turn back to reply. "whatever floats your boat" said grandpa Ollie as he headed back inside, he stopped at the door and turned around before speaking once more, "you coming phoenix?", however the bird was still sleeping and couldn't even reply him, he then decided to head inside and prepare his shop. It took almost 5 hours for the bus to finally arrive and carry Earl, and just like before, they drove in a random route,

With the pact made amongst one another, talks about the ORA continued, and eventually everyone started sharing their experiences specifically with them.One-way or the other, it eventually divulged into a topic of backstorues, making all the students share details of their transformations during the search for Sidney and Earl.They all were glad to hear that Williams lost his stutter. Hearing his back story and what happened to him only lit a fire in their hearts concerning the ORA.They'd hated them deeply already, but to think they'd take advantage of abandoned children like that... It reminded them that there was nothing the ORA weren't willing to do for their goal.Giving them all the more reason to train and become strong enough to fight them and take them down.Henry revealed the promise he made with his village elder, and everyone showed their support, especially Crystal and Ruby.Earl, Sidney, Annie, and Ruby never knew anything about this, and how could they? Henry was always

A pact formed, looking into the future
Jake laid down on his back, completely shocked silent. He watched Earl distinguished the attack he would've hit Jake with, before smiling and saying the words, "I win."It took a moment for Jake to realise it, but he'd lost the match. The final match in the mini tournament that they were holding, he'd lost that match. He'd lost to Earl.He was completely shocked by the whole thing. The moment he and Earl's fists collided, he felt the brunt of Earl's attack send him flying backwards, and he saw Earl fly off too.But it seemed Earl either recovered insanely quickly, or Jake was thrown a lot harder by Earl's attack than he would've liked to think he did.Before he knew it, Earl was standing over him with an attack ready to be launched straight at him.For some reason his mind went back to when they were kids, back when he'd bully Earl, call him names, and always boss his around because he was stronger than he was.He then remembered the fight that happened back in the entrance exams, the

Jake vs Earl, the final showdown
"Flaming lotus!" Said Earl. "Vortex!" Said Jake. "Whoa!" Said Sidney, "what the hell are those moves?" He asked. "I don't know... But this is getting fun," said Crystal.Both Crystal and Sidney knew that Earl was going to lose the contest no matter what. It didn't really matter what happened when it came to him, he'd already lost two matches, nothing could make up for that now.However the situation for Jake was different. If he won, he would 'officially' be the strongest soon to be second year student in the entire school.Earl wasn't fighting to win, or at least not to win the current mini tournament they were all having. He was fighting for his pride, he was fighting to win and prove himself.Jake was fighting for the same reason. For the longest time he'd been on top of Earl when it came to power and fighting prowess. Ever since Earl got his alchemy, he'd been growing extremely fast, but he still hadn't been able to beat Jake once.This fight wasn't just for the title of strongest

Match end, Final match start
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

Jake Vs Sidney
The explosion was large and huge, far bigger than what anyone was expecting. Not Jake, not Sidney, not Crystal, not Earl.However as the dust slowly settled, the aftermath came into view. The dome of crystals that Crystal had made to protect herself from Earl's attack was shattered to pieces, with only a few stems of crystals sticking out of the ground.Earl was standing there, with his hand held out, and with dust all over him. He began coughing as he waved his hand in front of his face, trying to clear away the dust.It didn't work very well. Earl opened one eye, looking at the place where Crystal was supposed to be. The dust hadn't cleared up, and as a result, he hadn't seen her to confirm she was down.'On second thought, maybe I used way too much firepower,' thought Earl, 'I hope she's okay,' he thought to himself.As he looked down into where she was once—the shattered dome of crystals, he saw a silhouette, one that closely resembled Crystal. It wasn't moving, and it was laid d

Winning, Earl Vs Crystal
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

Sidney Vs Crystal
Earl was panting on the floor, pinned down by a butt load of straw, which doubled as the other end of Sidney's arm.Earl messed up. He'd let the curious side of him out too much, egging Sidney on to press on the offensive. This was what ultimately caused his failure. Earl hadn't even shown all the tricks he had up his sleeve. But to be fair, neither had Sidney, both men had simply fought, and one ended up being the winner.Earl didn't feel bad in the slightest though. The thrill of fighting Sidney for the first time left him with a smile on his face."That's the match!!!" Yelled Jake, "Sidney wins, and Earl loses!" He added. "You're amazing, Sid," said Earl, wide grin on his face as he remained pinned down. Sidney reverted back to normal, the straw dissipated.He walked over and held out his hand, "that was a lot harder than I expected," he smiled. Earl grabbed his hand, Sidney pulled him up."So you can like, transform into Gy now?" Asked Earl. "It's a new spell I got," said Sidney

A winner, Earl Vs Sidney
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

Jake vs Crystal
The rules of the mini-tournament were clear enough for everyone to follow. Whoever won the most battles would be the winner, and the ones who lost the most would be the fourth strongest.Though it wasn't completely official, it was still going to be had. The four of them knew that the difference in power between them would most likely be miniscule at best.Crystal was a natural talent, and she came from the family of the Lloyds, known for being incredible combatants. She was bound to be one of the strongest in the school from birth alone. Jake was the epitome of hard work. Luck was on his side from the beginning, so he was something of a big fish in a small pond.But now that he'd been introduced to the river, he still held his own. Wind alchemy wasn't seen as something incredible or noteworthy by most, but Jake had changed that fact in the minds of the students.He'd held his own as one of the strongest people amongst them, and he didn't look like he would stop growing anytime soon
