Anime Survival - Chapter 51

“My sacrifice is my Nen, the material is my Nen, the Nen being my life energy, so it’s a tribute that can be called expensive.”

Da the steam smiled slowly from the circle then the second following the table the circle exploded creating a shock wave that shook the whole underground room.

*BOOM*

James was violently thrown against the wall to the point where blood came out of his nostrils.

“*Cough* *Cough* I’m almost there, I still have to try to stabilize the shockwave, but for a first experience it’s very rewarding.” he mumbled in a low voice while coughing up blood.

James got up slowly and rummaged through the crates of Rohan before retrieving some bandages and disinfectant treating his two arms whose skin was completely destroyed.

After tying the bandages he cleaned up the damage caused by his test before starting his research again.

“My circle of transmutation although basic is almost perfect in my opinion, the tribe my Nen has a very expensive alchemical value, so there is an equivalent exchange, the result I wish to create is an explosion without flame and for this I used the symbol of water and fire which is the opposite alchemical symbol.

Air is the material that will stabilize fire and water, while stabilizing them again with the sign of Gemini and to induce a good release I used the sign of cancer, so my circle is perfect.”

“In the process that I use the materials must behave as follows: The air decomposes and restructures itself into a bubble of compressed air, the drops da in the air around me decompose and recompose in the air bubble.”

“Which is now filled with oxygen and drops of water, the surrounding heat is multiplied by my aura before being induced into the bubble of compressed air, thus expanding it and creating an explosion of air and steam.”

James then bit the back of his pen and continued his research.

Two weeks passed quickly when suddenly James, who was proofreading the books at his disposal, had an idea.

“The problem with my circle is the speed of the operation, if air, water or fire is not induced quickly enough or at a certain timing, the operation fails, I don’t have the alchemical level to overcome this problem, but my control of the Nen can surely help.”

James without hesitation rewrote his circle of transmutation by removing the alchemical symbol from the air.

To meticulously modify his circle and create the right combination took him a week, then he started a new training with his Nen.

During the day he would light a candle in front of him and put his palms over it for several and at night he would discreetly go outside without being noticed by the soldiers and sit discreetly above the roof of a dilapidated house meditating.

He stopped his alchemy work completely and concentrated on these two trainings which he stopped only for his primary needs.

Fortunately for James Doreamon left him enough candle and lamp oil to last for years.

Time passed and it had been two years since James had come into this world, his short hair had grown up to his neck, in the meantime he had grown a beard that was not very hairy and he grew about two centimetres.

James, after packing his provisions in a bag, cleaned the underground room properly, put away the books that Rohan had lent him before heading for the ladder, but before climbing up he bowed one last time to that familiar room that had been with him for two years before he climbed up the ladder.

Once on the surface James, seeing the moon high in the sky, took a deep breath of air before thinking about the last few years for a brief moment.

[Task: Survive and fight the army of Amestris.]

“This task is really difficult because it has no definite goal, perhaps it will not end until the war is over. Or maybe it won’t end until I’ve fought Amestris’ army hard enough.”

“Why am I starting to talk to myself? It must be because of the long solitude over the past two years.”

James tied his bag firmly to his back before retrieving a knife inside, and then looked towards five large buildings in the city centre.

“It’s time to test my power.” He said with a slight smile before running at full speed down a dark alleyway.
