64 Chapter 64: Loli Alchemist Vs. Railgun

~Third POV~

Dorothea is an alchemist with many body modifications.

Dorothea has the appearance of a young woman of small height with blonde hair; this hid her true age as a very old woman who had extended her life span by stealing energy from other people. She wore a turquoise dress with a white apron and a ribbon on her head, giving her an innocent appearance.

Although Dorothea comes off as a quiet person, she has a short fuse, as she got mad when she noticed one of the experiments went wrong and gets mad, or else someone mentions her age get quickly killed in the process of short anger issues.

Despite her appearance, Dorothea is quite violent. While she never took any part that is evil unless she needs something questionable, she nevertheless killed people solely out of boredom.

She also seemed to be a fan of Dr. Stylish and has a basic understanding of the situation around her with her vast amounts of experience and knowledge.

Syura once noted she also is an alchemist as well as having many body modifications and that she has a world-class talent because of her experience and wisdom that came to the subjects of the human body and alchemy altogether.

She is very old, however, combined with her alchemy and Teigu, she looks very young. However, when she starts to lose her powers, her facade disappears.

Despite her small build, she possesses enhanced physical strength which she gained through bodily modifications, able to toss a grown man high in the air and even single-handedly suppress Leone while using [Lionel].

She improved the Stylish's Humanoid Danger Beasts and reproduced them even after his death in the manga to show how truly talented she was as she also mutated Cosmina after her brain death to a Danger Beast Hybrid and implanted a Philosopher's Stone on her chest which allowed her to live even after being cut by Murasame bringing her back from the dead to which the first Emperor failed to do being back the dead.

And currently, at the moment she has her eyes twitching in her eyes as she began to talk to Tatsumi with clear rage in her voice, "So you wanted to be my hunter when you came up the walking route that those old farts at Alchemist Quarry said and you somehow managed to get here not and please bear with me here… NOT dead?"

Tatsumi for his part just nods as it was a normal question as Dorothea breaths out loud in clear frustration as she spoke, "At least you somehow and I mean it in the VERY unconcern sense that you made it out alive… Fuck those chimeras are going to be a pain to rebuild."

It was at that moment Tatsumi began to ask her for her knowledge of Alchemy as he can see the situation is nowhere becoming good as he tried to speak to her, "Uh… I was hoping that I can learn more about your – "

!!!

*Swoosh*

Avoiding a nasty strike to the neck he moved back to see that Dorothea almost narrowly killed him at the neck as he glared his eyes at her before returning his fighting stance as she talked down to him, "Let this be clear now boy…. I'm a VERY angry young lady that someone motherfucker managed to kill off my chimeras and not only that had the balls to be my student after that… I couldn't help but you know make him a living experiment!"

She then went ahead to attack Tatsumi beyond pissed off at her chimeras that he put down being destroyed as her anger issue was acting up again. However, Tatsumi wasn't going to let this stand and let her kill him.

Fortunately, a smirk appeared on his face as he backed away once more as he placed his foot on the ground, and then…

*Rumble*

Suddenly the earth began to move as the ground then constructed into rock stone hand as Dorothea looked unamused at the idea as she quickly got away from the trap.

How Tatsumi did this was by using the quirk [Overhaul] and by that Tatsumi managed to spread the range of his quirk factor. Usually, the quirk factor of [Overhaul] is directed at the hands but after multiple attempts of moving it around to his whole body, he spread the quirk factor.

The process was painful for him but at the very least it helped him manage to use it whenever on his body instead of just his hands as it was too much of a weakness to leave alone.

Dorothea was annoyed by the fact that sprang out of nowhere as Tatsumi began to summon out a regular iron sword from his [Pocket] as he began to whip it out as he warns Dorothea what's going to happen next, "Ok old hag listen here I did not come here for the last two weeks and more to just be denied access to be your student only to deny the chance! One way or another I'm learning Alchemy from you old hag!"

Two tick marks appeared on her forehead as she heard him call her old as she began to lose it again with her anger as calling her by her true age was enough of a death sentence on anyone who know as she talked to him angrily, "OH OHOHOH! You my dear and very dear soon-to-be DEAD friend are going to pay a painful lesson of learning not to call me OLD!!!"

Now Tatsumi saw he triggered her using the O and H words together on her.

Bringing out a magic wand and then quickly drawing a symbol using her blood she began to place it down…

*Rumble*

Suddenly rumbling sounds could be seen as the wand began to release a black miasma type of gas in the air…

She soon as she used a wand-like item to summon a monster: after drawing a symbol from her blood, she places that item on it to release massive amounts of black miasma, which shaped like a beast with many eyes and mouths. This creature had acidic properties which slowly corrode skin and clothes.

Tatsumi eyes widen at this as he can taste the acidity in the air as the monster came out of the black miasma as Dorothea back away from the scene with a proudful expression shown on her face as she spoke already thinking she won, "So now that you are fucked in the anal ass there boy want to say any last words before my big thick beast royally fucks you over?"

Tatsumi just blinks at this as he asked Dorothea in honest confusion to her making her lose her smirk when asked, "Uh… this thing in front of isn't by chance elemental or bulletproof is it?"

Blinking at that she didn't bother answering that question as Tatsumi sighs at this as she grew confused by the question, 'The living fuck this country bumkin is talking about? Is he fucking high or something or just insane… well less insane as I?'

*BOOM*

*BZZT*

That was when she got her answer as her eyes widen in shock as Tatsumi merely got a gold coin as he began to flip it towards it with the help of the lightning bolt charging it up as it began to easily pierce through the monster she created as if it was nothing.

Along with anything nearby as it completely went ahead and destroyed a part of her castle home in the process…

What Tatsumi did was use the power of a lightning bolt that holds the power of one billion joules of electricity and used the gold coin to act as a [Railgun] which is propelled towards the target using the electromagnetic force that the lighting created following it like an arrow at the creature as Tatsumi looked amused by the situation.

He wasn't sure that it would work but considering that his hand hasn't been vaporized but the pain of having his skin burnt was surely there as [Overhaul] began to heal again. But it was also that moment Dorothea's anger subsided but also had a what the fuck just happen moment written on her face.

Clearly seeing the destruction output and that her chimera that she spent time creating and breeding was only destroyed in a few seconds looked at Tatsumi with clear confusion in her voice now, "What the literal fuck just happened… what was that strange bust of... wait for a second… MY CASTLE!!!"

Quickly getting her priorities in order again she saw that part of her castle home has been molten off the surface as she stared shocked seeing the sorry state it was in and she carefully turns her head as her eyes were red with rage.

But remembering the literal [Railgun] earlier she calmed her breath as she responds to Tatsumi with a restrained tone of voice, "Hmm… sigh… alright you are fucking bastard you know that? What exactly do you want to learn from me anyway? As I can see you don't need much help with power considering that fucking lightning strike did to my beast and home?"

Tatsumi for his part sheepishly apologizes at that as he began to explain to her what he wanted as he explained in detail of getting his body modified as well as to hope how to learn her unique style of life alchemy as well as learn how to use and create his version of the philosopher stone.

Dorothea raised her eyebrow at that as she sighs in defeat seeing the destruction he causes or she could get possibly killed if she refused talks to Tatsumi, "Sigh… you know what fuck it kid. Just fuck it. I'll teach you Alchemy in return can you explain what the hell you did to my chimera and that lightning trick because last I check you need a Teigu to use electricity?"

Tatsumi smirks at this finally getting the chance to learn about the alchemy of this world.
