Alchemist Association's VIP

Xuan and his rag-tag team went to school together. Met in his dorm and then started to pave the way toward the school. They were all attired in their student uniforms with a white polo and dark slacks on the bottom.

They paved the brick road and passed by several gardens of tulips and roses. The morning breeze was chilly and their clothes flutter. It was a windy day at that time and the smell of flowers was carried by the wind.

Xuan then was seen as quiet and serious. Making them worry about him. They soon started to talk to him to at least make the mood lively.

'The great calamity is coming near and we should act fast. We are still weak at the moment and we can't change our fate without absolute power,' Xuan was in his thoughts, staring at the horizon while walking.

"Xuan!" shouted Druin while patting his shoulders from the back.

"Hey! Call him master!" Truin yelled at him while smacking the back of his head.

"Oh! Sorry sorry, you see you are staring at a blank space. Might tell us what's going on?" Druin said then tilted his head and smiled.

"Yes yes, we should all know as we are your students, master!" Kilin said energetically with a serious look. Others nodded and agreed to his words.

"The great calamity is near. And we are not enough to stop it. We will train harder from now on," Xuan said in a worried voice. There's a hint of discontent in his words.

"We as your students will stand by your side no matter what," Ren said to him.

"Hmm hmm!" Randalf nodded.

Xuan was then relieved. He was lucky enough to have loyal students like them. His brooding mood then was lifted and he smiled at them, "Well let's all survive this!"

They soon arrived at the gates of the school and saw many students presently. Having the same uniforms as them. They were soon stared at by several of them and had mischievous grins plastered on their faces. One group went to approach them and they were all laughing.

"Well well well, look what we have here," one student with a domineering personality spoke. By the looks of it, he was possibly their leader.

"Oh look! The thrashy group!" one of them spoke out loud while in front of them. He was covering his mouth and pretending to be shocked. But all onlookers were aware, he just wanted to have fame by trampling the blight of society.

"Who's their leader again?" the leader asked.

"Xuan, I guess!" one of his underlings mentioned.

"Wait, is he the most thrashy of all? An inept technique! hahaha!" the leader laughed.

"Well we can beat them up if we want to pass the time!" one of them replied.

Xuan was still calm even with their remarks but his students felt agitated. They can suppress their anger when it's them who's being bullied. But it was their master! They can't help but crack their knuckles while smirking.

"Damn retards, I should teach them a lesson!" Spike can't stop his horses from rampaging.

"We should mess with their faces and break a rib or two," Truin clicked his tongue.

They were ready to attack but Xuan spoke, "Everyone, stop. Just let this pass, we must not cripple one of our own," Xuan said to them then left the bullies. Passing them by the side.

"Tsk! You are all lucky bastards!" Druin shouted.

"Wait! We should antagonize them a bit!" Truin shouted as he hurried to catch up with Xuan. "Chickening out mister trash? You will cripple us? Where did it come from? You? You must be having hallucinations! Daydreaming right now?" their leader said to him.

Xuan was calm, but he knew him. He was Regnar. He would just let destiny flow and claim him itself. Not caring about his fate at all.

They entered their room and they all were having some news that they were talking about. It was all a hot topic of news and they all were making it a big deal.

"Heard the news? The Alchemy Association discovered a potion that can heal wounds! Isn't it great?" Gail, one of their classmates told them.

"Oh really?" Xuan replied.

"Yes! And there are others too! They can replenish your life and heal you! Also, there's one that can replenish your stamina called Stamina potion. And there's a Qi potion too that can replenish your Qi!" He said then let them show his potion belt with one each of the said potions, "I have them here on my potion belt!"

"Oh nice, we should get one too!" Xuan replied.

"Yes! They are a bit pricey right now but they will become cheaper later on, well see you later," he said then left with a wave of goodbye.

It was then, there was a tall kid approached him. He was none other than Gresmult. He has two pill bottles with him. A young master of their family.

"See this? This is a cultivation pill! The other one is the physique-cultivating pill. I bought it for many silvers. I bet thrash like you can't afford it! Your family might sell their land to just afford this! Hahaha!" Gresmult said then laughed while walking away.

Xuan then sighed while hands folded on his chest. His family was indeed declining and it was true that they would sell some of their lands to afford it. If, he was not the owner of the recipe.

They soon settled on their seats and then their teacher Braun entered the door. I have some teaching materials with him.

"Ahem! Attention everybody. We have visitors from the Alchemy association and they are here to observe our class," Braun said to them.

"The alchemy association? Really? They're here?" one of their classmates muttered. All were in utter chaos, voices then soon rose abruptly. It was then noisy inside their class.

"Quite everybody, quiet!" Sir Braun shouted. It was soon that their voices died down.

It was then, that three persons entered their room. And one of them was Master Wertham. Ainz waved at him and then he coughed.

"They will observe you guys as per their request. Please all behave and have proper etiquette," Sir Braun then let them have a seat at the back of the room. It was then, that the class proceeded and they all listened to their sir.

Xuan's students can't help to laugh deep inside their minds. They thought that it was Xuan himself that was what they wanted to talk to.
