The alchemists discuss how difficult it would be to change the ratio of grass to solani in order to make it work. They wonder if the alchemy association is ushering in a new era, and if the alchemists themselves could solve such difficult questions. They look back at the past and wonder if they could have welcomed a genius like the one they have today. The boss calms down a bit, and says that he has seen the genius's talent and that it has surpassed the master alchemist's level. He also says that the letter he sent to director yang was a letter about how to use purple mist grass. The thirteen-year-old says he couldn't study that much, and that he doesn't have the kind of knowledge that the president and director have. The kid says that his master's letter was written and directed him to join the alchemist association so that he could attain the title of master.
