Chapter 715 Colors of alchemy
?[OP: ]
The open round where anyone from the audience, the participants who were not able to get through the other rounds, and the special guests all could showcase their unique skills and talents, or their special products.
It was a unique round that was held in order to let anyone that wanted to have the chance to be in this arena and feel how it feels to be a participant.
And they would have a chance to win special awards in this round as well so those who had no fear, those who were confident in their skills, and those who wanted to experience what those they had seen had experienced all participated in this round… filling the area to the point they had to activate the spatial expansion to make enough space for the participants.
This time as well, there were hundreds and thousands of participants that were now filling the arena, the same place where their favourite contestants had just participated in the last main round of this year.
-Booooooooooom!
There were safety measures in place, of course. This time much more than what they had used in the previous rounds.
And it was a must to have that kind of safety measures, as well as highly trained knights, mages, as well as other alchemists, teachers of the other prestigious schools, and their assists on field to prevent any kind of severe damage to anyone or anything.
The criteria for participation in this round was pretty simple. One just had to be either of an appropriate age, or have good enough basic knowledge of the craft of Alchemy that they at least don't harm themselves and the others around them.
That was it, and, since Zoe, Chry, and others who were there as the assistant of their teachers were on the field at the moment, they were going around the places, preventing the people from wasting precious resources, or saving children who had no idea what they were doing.
-Swiiiiiiiiiiish…
They were there for that. And they were doing just that… Zoe was the same.
She wanted to go look at what her big brother would do, what special thing he was going to shock everyone with, or how he was going to surprise his teammates.
She wanted to go and watch him from close, however, she did not do so at the moment.
She knew when he starts, everything else in this arena will stop, along with time, winds, and the buzzing of the bees.
She was waiting for that moment to arrive while doing what she was supposed to do… though, she did not have to wait long this time.
He was alredy on the ground, surrounded by people that were definitely going to hinder him and his work.
He was wearing a special artifact cape as well as had Celestine's skill and a few layers of special magic on him, so, it wasn't going to be possible for those who did not know about him to recoganise him.
So he wasn't worried about his identity at this moment.
What worried him were the people all around him, so to deal with them, first of all, he manipulated them using his magic as well as some simple attention redirection tricks and got a good enough space all to himself on this spacious ground.
Then, he cast a powerful invisible barrier magic around him that was only barely noticeable to the people like the emperor, the head judge, and Lord Maverick. Which was intentional as well.
And then, after finishing his preparations, finally when others had progressed greatly into their creation process, he took out something from his storage space that surprised every single person present in this arena, as well as all who were currently watching this round across the world.
-Dummmmm!
"Wh-what?! What's that?!"
"Grandpa! Grandpa! Look!"
"Ohhhh?! I had no idea they still make this kind of thing in the east!"
"Look at the size of that thing… massive."
"That's definitely the biggest one I have seen in this long life of mine, holy lord…"
"What the hell is that person doing with something like that?!"
He had taken out a giant, an absolutely massive Cauldron from his special storage space, his origin skill that had evolved a level and had become something he yet did not know about.
However since it functioned pretty similarly, he didn't really have to check it deeply. The war had ended for now, so there was no need to do so in the first place.
"It looks quite old… who is that person?"
"To possess something so special… that is no normal person. That I am sure of."
The Cauldron that resembled one of the artifacts of old eastern dynasties. A kind of artifact that was now only seen in some of the royal courts of today's time.
And even still, those who had seen these things, could tell at a glance that this one was special. Unique from those artifacts of the past.
-Snap.
-Ooooooooooooooong!
There were ancient engraving all over this cauldron that none in this arena, none in this entire world would be able to understand since he had made them himself with his own two hands.
They were an extension of his being and just like how they started glowing up after a mere flick of his finger this time, they were something that acted as he willed.
-Snap.
However, the greenish-white cauldron and the golden engravings on him were just the start.
"N… no way. Is that…?"
"Is he really going to use all those things… in a single production?"
"What the hell is that person doing?! Someone stop them!"
He started his production process by first taking out some very, very, very… very precious materials that the older alchemists recognised at a glance and were speechless to see all of them together in the first place.
And that was just the start.
-Snap!
He snapped again, started floating and hovered right above the mouth of the large dragon faces pot, and after the glowing inscriptions had cone something to the materials he had casually thrown inside the pot, new materials just as rare and precious appeared all around him.
And at this moment, he closed his eyes.
Which marked the start of something everyone watching this right now were going to remember forever in their lifetime… including the houses of the great academy.
-Ooooooooooooooong!
He floated before the large cauldron like some elder sorcerer.
Magical materials hovered around him, dancing at the movements of his fingers.
-Snap!
He was only snapping, or so was the visible to those who could not see what was happening behind those simple finger snaps.
-Ooooooooooooong!
"Amazing…"
"Phenomenal…"
"That person knows what he is doing with those things."
The elders, the masters, and those who had experience in any kind of artistic field could tell from the harmony of colours around him, form the sounds coming from the cauldron, from how effortlessly he was handling the materials even the grandmaster alchemists had to be careful with… this person was nothing normal.
-Swiiiiiiiiish…
As if everything had stopped, as if the very time had come to a pause, everyone stopped what they were doing and looked in the direction of the giant pot.
Breaths were audible now, along with the clicking of the clocks they were carrying.
All eyes were on him, and he was floating still… tempering with the rare materials like they were nothing but his playthings.
-Ooooooooooooong!
Colors moved around him, as if colors of an artist moving freely on a plain canvas.
The cauldron was being filled with different materials and things were happening inside of it without fire heating this giant pot.
They could tell the enchantments on the pot were all special, something they couldn't fathom with their limited understanding of this craft and this entire process.
Some of them had stopped thinking about it and had fallen into the colorful sea that this person had presented to them. While some who were still contemplating, trying to comprehend what was going on or what was the intention of this person, would soon also forget about those question and fall into the intricate symphony of these colors and the melodies produced by the cauldron.
-Oooooooooooooooong!
Eon himself did not know what was happening with him since he was in his own ZONE at the moment, thinking of nothing but how he could best display the unlimited potential of the alchemy to his students.
He was producing colors however, he was in a colorless world where only his happiness and the joy of the moment existed with him.
He was producing music however, his heart and mind were dead still and calm. With only the sound of his heartbeat audible to him.
Something was being produced, he knew that much.
He was doing something, he knew that much.
However, all was just happening as his mind, as his emotions, as his subconscious wanted. So, he was merely a puppet at this moment.
A puppet that was controlled by his own inner self, a puppet that was being used as a paintbrush to paint the entirety of this arena with colors of materials that were nothing to him compared to the joy his 'students' had given him.
-Oooooooooooooong!
He was happy.
-Snap!
He taught them alchemy and they surpassed him, surpassed his predictions and the limitations he believed would be a threat to them.
-Oooooooooong!
They proved to him there was nothing impossible in this world by creating, or at least by proving something that was always thought to be impossible.
-Snap!
And they kept faith in him and his teachings until the end, something any true teacher in this world would want more than anything else.
-Ooooooooooooooong!
He was happy.
And as a result of this rare kind of external joy that sparked a unique kind of inner joy in him, a special, one of a kind token of gratitude was born after something that was… indescribable by any other person who had witnessed this themselves.
-Oooooooooooooong…!
The production took little time, however, what was produced at the end, was one of a kind.
And he knew it as soon as he opened his eyes, and looked down at the cauldron that contained only a small amount of something… that will somehow be known as [Heaven's blessing] in the upcoming future.
