2024-10-29 19:42:56Suddenly the whole atmosphere turned into a serious one, Mr Adam repeated himself once more, "You have to take the final exams right here, right now Earl", Earl was now confused, why was he suddenly told to take the final exam right now?, he had till Friday to do so, he wasn't pre-informed nor properly ready, plus he wasn't even in his normal school uniform, which was designed to aid alchemy, all he had on was a plain white shirt, and some shorts.
"But sir, I still have to Friday, so why am I-", Earl tried to reason, but was suddenly cut off by Mr Adam "I've been instructed by the AAO to conclude all final exams today, as they have decided to not make the highschool submission date next month, but by Monday", Earl was in shock, not only had the AAO suddenly changed the final exam date, but they had also changed the Highschool submission date. The AAO, or All Alchemy Organisation had existed for about 400 years now, and they oversaw all new Alchemy practices since then, they mainly created and enforced rules concerning Alchemy, as well as governed the highschools Alchemy students attended, they were in charge of the schedules, acceptance or denial of application, and overall function of the alchemy world, this was mainly to keep balance and restrictions on the practice of Alchemy, but sometimes they made decisions that seemed too sudden and drastic, and this was one of those times. "But-" Earl tried speaking once more, but was once again cut off by Mr Adams, " In addition to that, they will handpick the highschool you attend, and grant you free accommodation", seeing the confused look in Earl's eyes made Mr Adam sigh, "Look Earl, not even I know what the AAO think, but I do know one thing, they're preparing for something..., something big, but to do that, they need as much trained Alchemists as possible, so if you still haven't given up, I'd like to score you as soon as possible, because I've got a long day ahead of me", When Mr Adams was done, Earl nodded and stepped out of the shops door. After stepping outside, Earl could immediately see three huge Alchemy circle's drawn out on the floor, but he had already seen it before, it was a sight he was all too familiar with, "As you know, the Final exam includes three tests, one to test your physical body's limit, one to test your mental state, and one to test your alchemy abilities, so please if you would, step into the first circle", said Mr Adam, he then gestured his hand towards the first circle, Earl gulped as he walked towards the circle, he wasn't prepared, and everything was being rushed on him, not to mention he had already failed the exam 5 times before this, so if he failed now, it would be his last chance, with that in mind he walked to the middle of the circle and took a stance, lowering his centre of balance, and spreading his legs, while placing both his hands by his side, like how monk stood when training, he thought this was the best stance he could take for this exercise, but then just then he suddenly felt this feeling of danger, his body quickly reacted by flexing all his muscles in his body, noticing this only one thought came into his mind 'Third Eye'. "Drain!!" Mr Adam said, suddenly the whole circle lit up, and slightly transparent glowing blue hands, with blue particles floating around them began springing on out of the floor and going through Earl's body, it felt like someone was dragging out all his strength from his body, and he soon began sweating, he maintained his stance while gritting his teeth, but the more the hands passed through his body, the weaker it felt, soon his legs became weak, and he eventually collapsed onto the floor, immediately after seeing this, Mr Adam quickly deactivated the alchemy circle, and pressed the timer on his stopwatch, it displayed the number 78 on it, and he took out a pen and wrote it down on a book he pulled from his pocket. After the circle was deactivated, blue particles started re-entering Earl's body, and he soon had all his energy back as to when he had started the exercise, "Onto the next test then" Mr Adam said as he once again, gestured him towards a slightly smaller circle, he walked into it and stood there still getting ready for the next test to start. "Migraine!!" Mr Adam yelled once again as the second circle lit up, suddenly Earl's eyes rolled back, and his eyes were now just white, he stood there motionless as he saw a message[Spiritual energy depleting][Spiritual energy: 20/50][Spiritual energy depoeting][Spiritual energy: 15/50]He suddenly became panicked, and frantic, he didn't know what this spiritual energy was, or how it worked, but he knew one thing, it was depleting, and it was depleting fast, he started struggling as hard as he could to break free, and eventually he had come out of it, and immediately threw up on the ground, seeing this Mr Adam then released stopped it once more, and repeated the same actions of writing down a the number 48 in his book, when Earl was done throwing up, he got up from the floor only to see a message appear in front of his eyes[Spiritual Energy: 8/50][You must consume life energy in the next 24 hours][Your Spiritual energy will continue to deplete till life energy is consumed, You will experience immense pain until life energy is consumed][If Spiritual energy reaches 0, Your HP will continue to deplete till death]His eyes opened widely, his spiritual energy was now 8/50, and he would need to consume life energy in less than 24 hours unless he would die, he didn't even know what spiritual energy was, or why he would need to consume life energy to keep himself from dying, but he had an idea, one that he didn't like, one that involved taking another person's life."what's is it Earl?" asked Mr Adam, as Earl stood there speechless and looking like he had just seen a ghost, snapping out of it Earl answered "I'm fine...., let's get this over with", he then walked over to the third and smallest alchemy circle, it was drawn on a small table and had lead in the middle of it, he knew what it was, it was the test to transmutate lead into steel, "Okay then, start" said Mr Adams, Earl began trying his best to transmutate it, but nothing seemed to happen, this went on for another 10 minutes before Mr Adam decided to stop the third test, after carrying the piece of lead from the transmutation circle, he began walking off, " wait...., I..... I... I felt something change there, I'm positive I can do it just give me another chance", Earl pleaded, hearing this Mr Adam took one look at the lead and put it back, with that he called it a day, " don't worry, if u pass, some people will be arriving on Monday to take you to your chosen Academy", with that he walked off and as he smiled to himself, I love those who keep their promises, eventually got out of sight and Earl then sat down recovering from the final exam, as he was amazed by his teacher Mr Adam, although Mr Adam had support Alchemy which let him either buff or debuff any opponent, but it was still worth it when in a real team battle situation, but in a one on one confrontation, it wouldn't be so useful, but Earl's Reminiscing was quickly got cut off. Suddenly it felt like his stomach was about to explode, and his head was aching so bad, he threw up once more, but felt even worse than the way he was before throwing up, he kept holding his stomach and head until he fainted out of pain, banging his head on the floor with blood in his mouth and coming out the side of his head, just then the shop doors opened up "What's all that noise??", It was grandpa Ollie who had come out like a grumpy old man, but later on, his face changed after seeing Earl motionless on the floor, "Earl!!" grandpa Ollie shouted as he grabbed Earl of the floor and took him inside, just then his pendant began slightly glowing, and although he wasn't conscious, he still received a message[Vlad Talisman activated, healing process begin][Spiritual Energy: 7/50][Your Spiritual Energy depletes]

"Earl... Earl.... Earl!!!... Earl wake up!!!", Earl could hear a familiar voice calling out to him, it was grandpa Ollie. After finding Earl passed out right outside the shops door, he quickly took him inside and laid him on the shop floor, he took a towel and some water and placed it on his forehead, but still after 3 hours he still hadn't regained consciousness, grandpa Ollie didn't have any medicinal herbs with him, nor could he perform any form of Alchemy, this was the best solution he had at the time. "grandpa Ollie?", Earl had finally regained consciousness, though his vision was still a little blurry, he slowly sat up straight, as he was lying down on the shop's floor, "what happened to you?", grandpa Ollie asked with a worried look on his face, Earl held his head trying to remember what had happened, he remembered everything from the early morning visits, down to the details of what Mr Adams had said, his face suddenly went white when he saw a message appear[Vlad Talisman de

Earl was running through the forest as he was rushing home, he left Nora's dead body in hopes that some beasts would eat it, even if they were weak beasts, it didn't mean they didn't eat flesh, plus there was a good chance they would, as they would not only be attracted due to the smell of her blood, but also because of the dead beasts carcass, after about 10 minutes of running, he finally made it out of the forest and his house was in view, *Pant**Pant*Earl was panting heavily as he had been running for quite a while, he was drenched from head to toe, but at least now he had an idea of what Spiritual Energy was. It was the natural energy his body had, each time he got injured, his body would heal itself using spiritual energy, this was probably also the energy that was used by Alchemist in summoning creatures, activating special beast gear, and performing special skills, this explanation also fit in with the idea of why he had to consume life energy, as advanced Alchemy made use of
White Alchemist Inspection
Miss Edna and Mr Adam, along with Jake were all running towards the forest, after hearing what Jake had said, Miss Edna wasted no time in rushing over towards the forest, the forest, though it had beasts, was often a place where people strolled through, also due to the fact that the most dangerous beasts one could find there was intermediate, students would train there, it wasn't anything any decent student couldn't handle, but based off what she had heard from Jake, only one thought came to mind, 'Could the ORA be making their move already?', if they were, and attacked a student in the forest, then that meant she would most likely have to prepare for immediate battle. After a couple minutes of running, they made it to the entrance to the forest, "Which way did u hear the scream?" Miss Edna asked, "That way" Jake said while pointing in particular direction, "Thank you" Miss Edna said before running into the forest in the direction Jake had pointed, seeing her move, Mr Adam followed su

"Oh and don't forget to pack up, cuz you might be gone by Monday'', those words had been in Earl's head all weekend, he started packing up his bags by the time he heard her say that, but he was still speculative on whether he would get accepted or not, though all the anxiety from the Nora incident had died down, his new found anxiety of being rejected or accepted had resurfaced. It was Monday morning, and as Early as 4am, Earl was sitting outside the shop with all his bags packed outside, he was wearing a white shirt, and brown shorts, along with some sandals, he tried his best to comb his messy hair, but it was no use, and ended up being a waste of time, he packed everything he thought he would need, from clothes and books, to hairs and baby teeth, he was so anxious and nervous he was killing himself over it, 'Are they late?, Am I early?, Am I late?', he kept questioning himself, just then his grandfather then walked outside stretching out his arms, "Don't you think your a little too

White Alchemist Entrance exams 3
After making their plan, the man who escorted Earl there came in once again, but this time escorted the entire team to the last floor where a huge platform, with hundreds of people already on it, they were each in groups of five, and just as Ruby had said, it seemed like it would be a battle Royale, more teams were being brought to the ring, so most of the team's already there had decided to go over they're plans again, but most of Earl's team had decided to just look around and try evaluating the other teams, but almost immediately Earl recognised someone in the crowd of people, "Jake??!!", of all the people to run into, it had to be Jake, he had always hated Jake so much, and he just had to meet him at the entrance exam, Jake always bullied him due to his weakness, although he hates it and fought back most of the time, the end result would always be the same, but even if now he felt a little stronger, and although he had no idea how to fight properly, he would at least help his team
White Alchemist Earl Vs Jake
Both students were standing opposite each other, Earl's left arm was shattered, while Jake was standing there ready to attack, Earl was sweating as the stinging pain in his arm was unbearable, he clenched it with his right arm, but never once removed his gaze from Jake, he saw a message pop up in front of him, but ignored it immediately, he already knew what it was, it was probably just his HP depleting, but he didn't care, although his left arm was shattered, the adrenaline was still rushing through his body and all his senses were alert, Jake began gathering air in his hand once more and repeated the same compressing process until he had gathered pressured air in his hand, he then readied his legs to burst out towards Earl once more, as he gathered the air around his feet, his black buttoned up shirt and black trousers began flowing up about in the air, he readied himself and stomped his black shoes in the floor, as he looked Earl dead in the eye, "Shit!!", Sidney said s
White Alchemist A winner
"Earl White, number 345 and Jake Philip, number 601 eliminated", those words resonated through it the stadium as both the crowd and the students were all shocked at what had just happened, Jake was the student who had the most eliminations, and Earl was the student who hadn't shown any form of Alchemy in the exams, they had originally aimed that he was hiding it for later on in the match, or wasn't a physical form of Alchemy, but after seeing him get his arm shattered, they began wondering if he didn't have any form of alchemy what so ever, if he was hiding it, he would've at least tried some form of attack against Jake after being damaged so badly, but all they saw him do was grit his teeth and bear the pain while launching physical attacks, they also had the suspicion that he might be a strong Alchemist, but they're suspicions were quickly gone, because if he was a strong Alchemist, he should've knocked him out in one punch, but the attacks they saw looked like regular old punches,

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

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.

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
