State Alchemist Mustang
Chapter Eleven- Award
The test was over now the strange man who created the disturbance was removed from the field by military officers. He was being charged with the attempt to harm military personnel and illegal use of alchemy on military property.
The injured were taken to the military nurse. Roy was the first to be released from the nurse. He only needed to rest and relaxation for a moment or two. The next released was Raven. She only needed to get her small bullet wound cleaned and stitched up. She and her father hung around waiting for the news of Riza. Riza was the worst of the three injured Mustangs. She had a serious deep cut on her left palm and wrist. Also, her stomach had a small deep puncture wound and she had two broken ribs. The pillar did a number on her. She lost quite a bit of blood and she was in the process of healing up and receiving a blood transfusion. After about three hours Riza was released with a brace around her chest, a large wrap on her left hand and wrist and three stitches on her stomach. She was weak but was slowly getting better.
"Well, now that we are all fixed up...mostly." Roy looked over at Riza who shot him an evil glare.
"We need to get to the ceremony." Roy smiled. At the ceremony, only one person was awarded the title State alchemist. Since the test was interrupted, all the other people were given another date and time to come back for the third part of the test.
"Major Raven Mustang, approach." Raven smiled and stood up. Applause erupted from the room as everyone was proud of what she did during the test. The room when silent as Roy and Raven exchanged saluted.
"First, I must promote. Central was much pleased with your alchemy usage. As a token of appreciation for saving military personnel and your extraordinary use and control of alchemy in the time of an emergency, you have been promoted to Second Lieutenant." The Fuhrer said and smiled. Raven beamed. She knew her father would't promote her just for the sake of promoting his baby girl. She knew she earned it.
"Now, I hear by award you the certificate and official watch of the State alchemists." Roy smiled and handed her the certificate. It said she was given the alchemist name of 'Mystic'. Then she was handed a small dark blue box with the military symbol embroider on the top in white. She smiled and looked up at her father. She took a deep breath and opened the box to revile the silver state alchemist watch. As she opened the box Roy turned to face the crowd.
"I introduce to you, State Alchemist Second Lieutenant Raven Mustang... the 'Mystic Alchemist'." Roy smiled and applause erupted once again.
