As Crystal got into her stance, she locked eyes with Janet and had a serious look on her face."I've got it! I figured it out! It was pretty hard to tell what exactly you were doing, but after being hit with it up close, I know exactly what your doing!" Said Crystal.As both girls stood panting with blood running down their faces and burn marks on their bodies, a smirk landed on Janet's face."Oh, really now?" Said Janet, "your alchemy, it's space-time isn't it?!" Said Crystal."Obviously, I don't really go about hiding it!" Said Janet. "But you haven't exactly mastered it. But now that I know how you use it, your defeat is eminent!" Said Crystal."Don't think you can defeat just cuz you know how I fight!" Said Janet, "But I can defeat you, for that exact reason. You basically warp the space around yourself or objects don't you? You warp the space around the surface of that stick so that it becomes a thin blade or warp it so that it becomes a thick club right?That's the only explanat
Deep in another part of the forest, completely separate from all the other students, scattered across from one another was another team that was on the lookout for Earl."This suckz!!" Said Austin who was on a boat, swaying his hand across the surface of the water."This absolutely blows...." he said once more with a droopy expression. On the boar with him was a fishing rod in his other hand, with its cord cast into the water.The salty taste of the air and the gentle wetness of the water brushed over his hands.The dead silence was loud, with the only other sound being the occasion bubble pop and clashing of small waves.As his boat continued to drift in the middle of a huge lake, he pulled his hands out of the wet water and had an excessively long yawn.As he slammed his jaw shut, a bored expression sat on his face. "This reaaally blows" he said once more."Why am I the one out here fishing anyway?! Damn it Annie!" He thought to himself with a sour expression as his mind visited ear
As Ralph stood face to face with his opponent, he took a stance, glaring his eyes at the man who stood in front of him.The man in turn spun his knife around before settling into a stance, lowering his center of gravity and holding the knife out in front of him.Instantly, Ralph blasted out with an explosive jump towards his opponent, and threw out a punch."No alchemy huh?" Said the man as he dodged the shirt and swung out his knife at Ralph's head.Ralph ducked under the slash and threw out his huge arms in a huge bear hug, "not smart are we?" Said the man as he spun the knife and thrusted down at Ralph's back.As the knife came hurling down at his spine, Ralph paid no mind and went in for the attack."If I let this kid grab me, I have a feeling It'll all be over by that time!" Thought the man, planting his feet into the ground.The instant the knife made contact with Ralph's back, the man thrusted hard before immediately creating distance.Jumping back a few meters, barely escaping
In a certain location, somewhere on the outskirts of Luckage city, but not too far from the cities borders, there was an abundance of very tall trees.So tall that it was difficult to see the birds nests that nestled at the top of the tree.Each tree was absurdly thin, so thin that it was a stretch to even call them trees, yet their leaves spread out so far, that even though each tree was roughly 10 meters apart, it's branches and leaves touched and intertwined with one another.They stretched so far and bundles so much, that the shadow it cast remained both day and night, allowing only a little sunlight- enough to make the lighting resemble that of a calm afternoon- to pass through its leaves.For this reason and this reason alone, travelers called it the umbrella forest, others called it the tall overcast forest, and the locals at Luckage city and the small settlements around it, all called it evernoon.The lush peaceful green nature of the ground that slowly went up and down in slo
As Julian stood in front of the approaching carriages, he wore a tired nonchalant sour look on his face.The sound of the approaching carriages became louder and louder, and the sour look on his face became even more so as he recalled the look on Sidney's face."Damn freeloader..." He said as he recalled the words that he told to Sidney, "why the hell did I even tell him that?..." He thought to himself.A few images flashed through his mind, one where he was on the floor with someone standing over him, with a hot rod, one where he stood over dead bodies, one where he cried in the rain, one where he was freezing and had frostbite on his fingertips.As the images flashed through, his face became even more sour, "pfft! Hell? You haven't seen shit yet" he said as he raised up his hand.The carts were now up close, and the very first one stopped right in front of Julian.Seeing him, the guard riding shotgun was the first to hop off and walk towards Julian, who had a nonchalant look on his
"Anytime now Earl" a student said, Laughter immediately filled the air as the students were mocking the boy that stood out at the front of the classroom, "seriously? he can't even transmute lead into steel?, isn't that like the basics of basics of alchemy?" one female student said, desperately trying to hold in her laughter, "I know right, even my younger brother could do it, and he's only like five years old" another said while laughing hysterically, Earl kept on trying and trying, he waved his hands up and down, left and right, he twiddled his fingers in the air, but each time nothing happened to the lead seated in front of him, "I've got a tip for ya" a male student said, this male student had purple hair, he kept his white shirt untucked and didn't have a tie on, Earl hated the way this student dressed, they were all meant to wear a white shirt and black pants, along with a tie, this was the way Earl and nearly every other student dressed, but this student in particular alwa
'Crap', Earl thought to himself as he heard the door hinges squeak, everything seemed to be moving slower in his eyes, it was obvious that his grandpa was the one who was at his door, who else could it be?, but after what had just happened, whatever kind of crazy contract that had happened, it left his room and body a complete mess, he couldn't let his grandpa see his room right now, his books were all over the table, his shirt was ripped, and the giant alchemy circle was still clearly visible on his chest to anyone who came in, not to mention that he still had a massive headache as his head was suddenly flooded with so many messages that he frankly knew nothing about, "Earl, are you okay in there, I've been calling you for a while now, but you didn't answer, so I came to check up on you", grandpa Ollie said from the other side of the door, "Stop!!!" Earl shouted from the inside of his room, he then proceeded to silently approach the door, being extra careful as to not make any noise,
Earl quickly got off his bike as he parked it outside the school, he ran up the steps and ran towards his classroom bursting through the doors panting, " I'm....*pant*.....here", Earl said with sweat running down his face, everyone in the class ignored his existence, and pretended like no-one had walked in, however his teacher, Mr Adam closed the textbook he was reading and looked over at Earl, "It's nice for you to finally join us Earl, when my class is already over" he said while giving Earl a death glare, Earl seeing his upset teacher quickly bowed his head remorsefully, along with the top half of his body down "I'm sorry sir I just overslept", Earl said in an apologetic voice, Just then a female student suddenly spoke up, "It's not his fault Mr Adam, I heard that people who have zero mana have a brain defect, so they need more sleep or else their brains wouldn't function properly", laughter filled the classroom as she finished her sentence, and Earl couldn't do anything other than
