**********************************LORTH TEMPLES****************************
Cecily was on the verge of collapsing. She began to stagger as her legs began to lose power. Before she slid on the floor, the others ran to her and provided her with anchorage. Mr. Starkridge went on to say, "Even all of you agreed with me that Nelanian was not a good fit for this institution. Throughout the history of this school, several notable alchemists who have gone down in history as the best alchemists to ever live have graduated from its halls. Because of our institution's outstanding performance, the government rewarded us by entrusting us with the task of training Ithea's champions. Then Rhaizen Gale appeared! That knucklehead,"
Cecily muttered under her breath, "Stop it, stop talking." The rest of her classmates did nothing to obstruct the director's speech; they were all ears.
"That fool walked the corridors as if they w
******************************************THE END*******************************************“Of course it is, what did you think I'd do, let a filthy commoner like him shame this realm in the trials? He, like Rhaizen Gale, had to be dealt with!”Luciana's surprise was palpable.“Are you saying you also orchestrated Rhaizen Gale's death?”“Now that's something I didn't do. But I'm grateful to whoever put that scum to death. He helped me save a lot of time and money,”Luciana was on the verge of crying. Her father's statements had a deep and hurtful impact on her.“Now, I'm going to call the tailor back, and he'll help you choose the b
Norval's mother and sister sat next to Luciana and Jalon. The corridor was unusually silent, with only the beeping of the machinery inside the room and the clanking of the fan whirling above them to be heard. Jalon was tempted to take out his phone and log in to his social media accounts at times, but Luciana would elbow him in the gut and he would put his phone back.“It's ok, folks; you can go ahead and prepare.” Mrs. Greensmith read the room and said, "You still have matches today, and I don't want you to waste your time here while your opponents are getting ready."“No, Mrs. Greensmith, we're not bothered in the least. Norval is a friend of ours, and we are here to provide him with the assistance he requires. If we had been in his shoes, I'm sure he would have done the same forus,” Luciana added, smiling at the small girl next to Mrs. Greensmith.“And who is this little princess you have brought
“Wishing you luck, Jalon.” Luciana said as she boarded the elevator and pressed the button that closed the doors and started the elevator's descent. The elevator abruptly stopped on a random floor and the doors flew open while it was halfway to the ground floor.Stanier entered the elevator, adjusting his brown gloves on his hands as he did so. He fumbled with his leather jacket for a few moments before noticing Luciana in the elevator. He froze for a fraction of a second at the door before entering.“Hello,” he said as he shifted closer to the elevator's right-hand button panel. Luciana never bothered to respond to his welcome, but he didn't appear to mind. He reached for his turtleneck's collar and stretched it out for a second before returning his gaze to Luciana. Luciana's head suddenly turned and looked down, as if she was trying to spy on him from the corner of her eye. He couldn’t help but smile at t
The blades collided, causing sparks to shoot across the concrete floor. To Stanier's astonishment, Jalon was a lightning fast runner. He wriggled and danced his way around Stanier, dodging his blind swings with ease. Jalon took a step forward and stepped on another vial, which exploded and blinded Stanier with a flash of light. As his blade struck with Stanier's crystalline skin, he swung it with tremendous force, shattering fragments and sent them soaring into the air.Stanier lurched back, and before he could regain his feet, he was struck again, knocking him down. When he landed on the vials again, the elixirs bathed his entire body, soaking his garments with the potion. Jalon's name was chanted again and again by the crowd. Some questioned how he was able to dominate the lone wolf despite their swordsmanship being on par. Jalon's strategy, on the other hand, put Stanier at a significant disadvantage. By taking away his eyesight and stance, he had completely messed up his
Jalon walked back to his changing room, favoring his abdomen as he clutched to it. Every breath he took was laboursome and he could not remember the last time he felt such irritating pain. Individuals he met along his way congratulated him for his victory, some wanting to ask how he was able to make the lone wolf submit. He simply gave them a forced smile and tried as much as he could to cover up the pain he was under. He finally reached his changing room and got some alone time, time to cry out for all the pain he was ignoring. He growled and groaned as he struggled to unzip the suit he had on.There was a large window to his side and as he peered outside, he could see the large screen on the stadium rooftop, displaying his name and a tag spelling out the name ‘winner’ flashing and disappearing. It gave him the consolation he needed. Luciana walked into him, changing his top, and
"I apologise, Miss Judy, but we are unable to publish the piece. “It's too dangerous,” the man stated. He chatted to her from behind a desk, fumbling with a pen. Judy fixed her gaze on him, attempting to hide the disgusting expression she was unknowingly producing. The man refused to run the piece even after She explained everything to him. "You've seen the proof. Even the police have confirmed it, and despite the overwhelming evidence, you refuse to run thestory?" Judy remarked. She was doing her best to keep her emotions from coming through in her speech. The man slumped back in his chair and slid his fidgeting pen back onto the surface. He remained silent for a few moments before moving to a bottle of water near him. "Listen, miss Judy, we value you very much in this organisation," he said as he strained to open the bottle, " We really feel that you are a valuable asset to
“ Ladies and gentlemen, she has arrived. Our own little princess. Please join your hands and assist me in greeting Princess Luciana Vonner!” said the announcer. As she made her way to the top of the platform, the crowd went wild, waving banners and posters bearing her name and face. They began screaming her name soon after.Todd's team had finished securing his protection gear around his limbs. He, too, started walking towards the platform.“And here he comes from the red corner. the Prodigy from the North," The announcer added, "Up against our very own princess is Aedmer Todd the undefeated!" The crowd's attention was drawn to the small boy. His entry wasn't as raucous as Luciana's, but it was still chaotic and noisy. The crowd seemed to back each of them equally, as their swaying support swung in either directi
Norval and Luciana exchanged looks. To a degree, Nelanian was correct, and they pondered why they had never considered it before./……………………………………………………………………………………………….../Luciana began scanning her surroundings right away. She needed to locate the canister, which she knew was nearby. She also knew he had to keep it secret so the toddler wouldn't figure out what he was up to."Are you going to attack me once more?" Todd was the one who inquired. ”If you don't attack me, I'm going to attack you, and I'm not going to be so lenient,” he remarked. He allowed Luciana a chance to consider her options before growing tired. The rocket thrusters sprang to life again, pro
