All the male students were in the changing room for boys, and all of them were exhausted and tired."I can't wait to take a bath.." said Earl as he took off his sweat soaked shirt, revealing his well toned body.Earl then looked down at his hands, and couldn't help but have a small smile as he looked at his burnt looking arms.'... Well, I guess it was worth it, I've mastered my new move after all' thought Earl."... Well, it was for our good, I guess..." said Sidney as he too took off his shirt and proceeded to take off his pants."... At least I think so, but part of me feels like Kelly enjoyed kicking the shit outta me" said Sidney."I don't know, having a pretty girl as a trainer doesn't seem so bad if you ask me" said Harvey with a pervy smile, as he took off his shirt."Shut up you pervy dimwitted idiot!!" said a panting Jake as he sat on a bench, as he had already taken off his shirt."huh?.... But I'm pretty sure that if it was Lucy kicking you, you wouldn't mind as much would
Earl, Ruby, Crystal, Leon, Nora gill(Ruby's training partner) and Teddy Nivil, were all standing on one half of the volleyball court, all in their sports uniform. On the other side was Henry, Austin, Damian, Billy Ox(Henry's partner), Rebecca Wise(Austin's partner) and Tatiana Brown(You guess it, Damian's partner)Earl and all the others had finished stretching, and now it was time for the volleyball game to start."hey kid!!!.." said Leon, "... Remember what I told all you boys yesterday right?" asked Leon.Earl's mind then flashed back to the night before.**** THE NIGHT BEFORE **** "you guys can do whatever you want, cuz tomorrow, you'll be using what you've learned to play Volleyball..." smiled Leon as he let himself relax in the water.All the boys looked at Leon, and them at themselves before making a huddle.And all the first year boys made this huddle mind you."okay, we got the go ahead to look over the wall" said Harvey, starting off the meeting."I'm so excited, not only
The crowd cheered on and on as Henry's side stood in shock.Earl's hand still had smoke coming off of it when a huge smile plastered on his face."Nice one kid!!!!" yelled Leon as he ran up and high fived Earl."Nice going Earl!!" said Crystal as the two first bumped."Nice one Earl!!! Now let's just keep on repeating that!!" said the hyped up Ruby."Yosh" said Earl as he retook his position at the front."H-hey, you're friend's crazy huh Hen?" asked Billy as he played his massive hand on Henry's shoulder."y-y-yeah!!!" Henry squeezed out as he repeatedly tapped Billy's hand. "hey, your crushing his shoulder there Billy" said Tatiana Brown, Damian's trainer."oh" said Billy as he lifted his hand off of his shoulder."... Don't worry, I'll stop the next one" said Henry as he took a breath."were counting on you" said Billy as he returned to his position, and as a result, everyone else did."serve, Team Leon!!!" yelled out the ref. "okay..." said Ruby as she took a breath, and once a ne
The match continued back and forth, with each team using one tactic or the other, and monstrous moves and alchemy flying all over the place.The amount of balls blasted into the floor itself was shocking, but the spikes, set-up, and serves were all something as well.However, the match was now at it's climax, and ignoring all normal protocol, the score was 21-21, and the next team to score would win."Serve, Team Henry!!!" yelled the ref as he tossed a ball to Henry, who was already standing outside the court.Henry let out a breath as he received the ball. "Now or never!!" said Henry as he tossed the ball into the air.With a leap and a smash, the ball flew to the other side of the court, and headed straight for the corner."LET'S GOOOO!!!!" yelled Leon."HAHAHA, THE WIN IS OURS!!!!" yelled Nora as she jumped up into the air."TASTE THE DIFFERENCE IN OUR POWER!!!" yelled Nora as she spiked the ball with full power down at the front of the court."safe!!!" yelled Austin as he dived fo
With the conclusion of the volleyball tournament, the students had fully moved past their lost comrades.And although not forgotten, neither their anger towards the ORA, nor the memories of their classmates.It was no longer a burden, and they could fully concentrate without lingering thoughts.Mr Stevens and Miss Kayla we're both happy with the changes in the students behaviour, not to mention the conclusion of Ruby and Crystal's feud made staying in the same classroom a whole lot easier.With everyone either developing, creating or enhancing their new moves, the students growth was faster than most, and soon, after about a month more of training, their ranks were evaluated.The lowest ranked person was now sub-advanced, with the average ranking being sub-advanced.Earl, Ruby, Henry, Annie, Suzuki, Alice, Ralph and Damian all landed in the advanced JAP ranks, with the three prodigies, Sidney, Jake and Crystal, all still being ahead with JAP ranks of sub-king tier.With both the secon
All the students held their jaws open with excitement as they listened to their teacher."yep, you heard me" said Mr Stevens, as he and Miss Kayla took seats on their desks."it's the annual festival which most of the country comes for, and that also includes representatives from the AAO.Having won the award for the best festival in Helbrand 7 years in a row, I assume you all know how much the stakes on this festival rides.You all, being the first year's, are in charge of the entire festival. Your second years poured a lot of time and effort into helping you guys reach the stage you are now, so they're catching up with their studies in the meantime.The third year's are busy with.... Official business.... So this year's festival us left to you guys.So you'll plan all the events, stands, everything, the inclusion of fireworks, horror houses and the likes is all up to you..." said Mr Stevens.Grins grew wider and wider on all the students faces as they all stayed put and looked on i
Earl was idly smiling in a cheeky way as he followed the second year's to the dorm, through the hall of alchemy circles.Everyone noticed this, but hadn't said a word in a while.With a smile however, Kelly turned over to Earl, with her hair tied to one side, and her hands held behind her back."someone seems to be in a good mood" said Kelly, "yeah, what got you so cheeky?" asked an annoyed Leon."whoa, what's wrong with him?" asked Jake, referring to Leon, "oh don't mind him, he's just tired from helping the entire second year study last night" said Kelly."well if its got you so happy, might as well spit it out Earl" said Sidney as he rubbed his tired eyes."Oh, its nothing..." said Earl, "wait really? Nothing can make you happy?" said a clueless Art.Everyone except Earl slapped himself in the face as they all let out a sigh."No they can't" said everyone in unison."You know what? I don't have time for this, said Leon as he grabbed her by the collar, and yanked him while placing h
Earl was still baffled by the .an he recognised, the same merciless one he faced before in a dream he forgot, was standing right in front of him.But unlike in the dream, it seemed like he wasn't the one who killed all the surrounding people, no, in fact it looked like he was the one on the other end."why would you do this? We served you" said the man in tears.In his arms, he carried a dead person, who had a massive cut run across his open chest.They looked similar, almost identical, like brothers even, and the actions of the man Earl recognised seemed to support this."this world was not meant for the two of us to co-exist, the gods made a mistake creating you retusians, and I.... I am here to liberate you.Too long has this world been stained with your existence.... I'll kindly fix the gods mistakes!!" said the masked man.'.... Retusians? Is that what they looked like?... Does that mean this was during the Retusian war?...' thought Earl as he looked on."... You tricked us... Yo
