Now it's 1910, you were Izumi's student, but then boys of about 11 and 10 years old joined you, as you later found out they were brothers, the younger was called Alphonse and the older was Edward

And then one fine day they take you, or rather, you arrive on a boat and your teacher says that you must survive on this uninhabited island for a month, this is her training, but there is one condition...do not use alchemy

And so the three of you are sitting on the sand looking at the seas and not knowing what to do, you can’t use alchemy and you only have a knife... and that’s all...

Edward: “Is the teacher kidding me?! “Not some kind of alchemy”, how can you survive for a whole month?!”

Edward was clearly annoyed by this and Al just sat there looking at the knife that's the only thing you have
