The day was bright, it was early in the morning. The birds were singing, the sound of river flowing accompanied their song, it was the symphony of nature.

Amidst all this were footsteps, filling up the ambience. Jake, Williams, and Henry were all walking in the forest, making sure that their steps weren't heard.

They'd been training heavily for the last two weeks under the guidance of Miss Kayla. After that night, they'd trained their bodies, and worked on their alchemy, with heavy emphasis on Williams.

Jake hadn't spoken much to them during that night that he'd heard Williams and Henry's back stories, he'd been really distant, but he'd been working hard and seemed focused as well.

Williams and Henry were a tad worried, but they were focused on the task at hand and had been working hard as well.

Right now, it was the day that Miss Kayla had been preparing them for. She'd spent those two weeks tracking their movements and gathering information.

Now that she had all the info she needed,

    Illuminated by their alchemy sticks, Henry and Jake walked through the dark cave, seeing no further than three meters from them.Both of them walked slowly and quietly, making sure not to make any unnecessary noise as they moved.The eerie dripping of water in the cave seemed like the only company they had... That, and the swarm of bats that had flown out of the cave not too long after they'd entered.The further inside they went, the more and more tense the air got. Jake took a step forward, and his foot seemed to sink into the floor."Shit!" He thought as he began gathering mana, "Henry, booby trap!" He yelled before slamming both his hands together."Gale burst!!!" He yelled as a huge gust of wind erupted from all around him, blowing dense and fast air all around him all at once.In the same instant, Henry slammed his hands into the floor. "Hibernation!" Instantly huge pillars of ice erupted from the floor all around him, surrounding him in a thick layer of ice.A millisecond after

    "We're here to save you," Jake repeated as he took a step towards the kids. During the whole ordeal, the children watched Jake and Henry come down from the ceiling and defeat the men that were just beating them in a single hit.Whether it was because they were too scared to think straight, or because they simply didn't believe them, the children retreated from Jake.Jake and Henry stood in front of the kids with confused looks on their faces. "It's alright now guys, we're here to save you guys," said Jake as he stretched out a hand."No!" One of the children screamed as he covered his head and began crying. All the other children huddled even closer with tears flowing from their eyes."P-please," one of the girls said as she slowly hugged her fellow captives close, "d-don't kill us," she cried.Watching all the children shudder at the mere sight of them, Jake and Henry stood in shock looking at them."These kids... Can't they see we're here to save them?" Said Jake in a soft and empat

  • White Alchemist    A quick battle on both sides.

    "I'm not gonna stutter," said Williams, "I'm n-not—argh!!" He cursed lightly and oddly nicely as he threw a stone off the top of the cave.He was sitting on top of the cave, on a huge rock that arched over the edge of the cave, causing it to resemble a cliff."That was supposed to be it! I was supposed to say ten sentences in a row without stuttering, and of course I messed up on the seventh line," thought Williams as he tossed another rock.He let out a heavy sigh, "remember what Henry said... Say whatever it is you want to say in your head first a couple times," thought Williams.He sat quietly for a moment before speaking, "I'm not gonna stutter. I'm not gonna stutter. I'm not gonna stutter. I'm not gonna stutter. I'm not gonna stutter. I'm not gonna stutter. I'm not gonna stutter. I'm not gonna s-stutter—dang it!!!" He yelled as he tossed another rock."That damned seventh line..." He thought, as he threw another rock. He sat silently, alone, on a cliff above the cave. Certain tho

  • White Alchemist    All battles end

    Maner and C3 stood opposite Williams, both in their battle stances. Williams held both hands out in front of him and locked eyes with his opponents.A nervous sweat ran down the side of his face, "this is bad, they already have information on me," thought Williams, "they know what my alchemy is... But they're information is highly outdated," Williams took a step backwards."I can't tell if that's a good or bad thing. They could be more on edge because they're aware of their ignorance... If this battle doesn't end fast, then we'll both end up dead. And worse of all it's two versus one," thought Williams."Calm down Williams, calm down, you've done this before, you've killed the ORA before haven't you?..." Thought Williams as he took a breath."Remember all the training you've been through with Jake and Henry. They're in there battling to save the people who were kidnapped, I have to give it my best too," thought Williams."C3," said Maner, "let's kill him in one attack," he whispered.

    Williams stood looking down at the body of C3. "Wires?" He thought as he noticed a wire sticking out of C3's body.He raised his eyebrows in confusion. What would wires be doing inside of a living person? Was this some sort of upgrade the ORA used? He knelt down beside the body.Now that he took a closer look, he could see more and more circuitry sticking out of C3's corpse. It didn't make sense.This wasn't just enough wires and circuitry for a simple enhancement, no, it looked like he was made from nothing but wires.In fact, Williams struggled trying to find a single actual organ in his body—at least from where he could see.He was no doctor. Sticking his hands into people—whether dead or alive—wasn't something he was comfortable with."Now that I think about it, I think that guy was called Maner... And he called this guy C3..." Said Williams as he sat down beside it, staring at the body."Wires... C3... Maybe this guy isn't a guy at all?" Thought Williams. As much as he thought ab

  • White Alchemist    Last but not least, Team Soki

    Soki was shirtless and kneeling ten-toed in front of an alchemy return circle, holding a piece of paper in his hands."I fear the worst is yet to come, and a battle beyond what we could possibly imagine won't be long now," he said to himself.He was quietly reading the contents of the paper. It was a report, sent to him by Horace.It spoke about the findings of team Charlie, team Stevens, and team Kayla. Earl's familiar, the secret base and the storm drug, project Chimera and the slave traders... There was a lot that they discovered in their one month away from the school.Team Charlie strangely hadn't encountered any of the ORA and had stuck to basic training—Team Soki wasn't much different.Though as a result, Team Charlie had made the most progress training wise and covered the most distance.It spoke of the identifying of the moles within the school, as well as the progress of the other children back in Welgrid.Thankfully, the children who were kidnapped for the slave trade and e

  • White Alchemist    The hill

    Damian, Ruby, and Christopher were all walking in a row behind Soki in the dead of the night.They walked past vegetation, trees, streams, and a few insects. Thankfully the activities of the ORA—whatever they were—seemed to have scared all the beasts and animals away, meaning that they didn't have to worry about encountering any beasts attacks in the dark.They didn't even walk with any artificial lights. The moonlight was enough for them to navigate through the area easily, they were used to the surrounding area after all."Hey," said Damian from behind Ruby, Ruby turned, "yeah?" "Are you okay?" Asked Damian, Ruby raised a brow."Whaddya mean?" "Meeting the ORA I mean..." Said Damian, Ruby kept silent for a moment.It hadn't been too long since the death of her mother. It hadn't even been a year since she died. Her funeral hadn't been done yet either.Immediately after that whole incident, there was barely any time before the school festival where Earl and Sidney were kidnapped.And

    Ruby, Damian, Christopher, and Soki, all laid eyes on their targets. As the cave shook from the impact of Soki's fist he turned to Damian, "kill the flame," he said.Instantly, Damian extinguished his flame, and all four of them slammed their feet into the floor and blasted at their opponents.The men who stood in the center shook in confusion, illuminated by light. Not a second more had passed and now they saw shadows approaching them from the dead of the night."When facing an opponent," thought Ruby, as she held her hand in front of her, "it's best to retain them first and hinder movements," thought Damian as he held out his own hand."However when fighting the ORA," Christopher held his hands out in front of him, "breaking a few limbs would be best," thought Soki as he slammed his foot right in front of one of the men.Throwing out both hands, he grabbed two of the men by the face and hoisted them high into the air before slamming them into the ground.*BOOM!!* an echo bounced off

    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?

    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
