"Mom's kidding about this, right? This was impossible for me ..." thrusting out the letter that his mother had given him, he really did not believe what he had received.
She was named Araya, a girl about thirteen years old. She lives with her mother Luccyana in a modest, suburban home that is not very crowded.
At present, Araya is still in junior high school, more precisely still in the 8th grade. In school, he was known as a fairly smart and diligent student. He always does his schoolwork on time and also almost always gets the best marks in every exam.
Not only that, Araya also has a pretty face, its nature is also good and friendly. But she was single even from birth.
Araya is not an only child, she has an older sister named Allucia, who is now sixteen years old and has reached high school.
"No, Araya. Mom's not kidding. This is for you." his mother replied to reassure him. Araya still does not believe. To him, the letter was like a challenge.
Is that true?

Flashback ...
Morning, four o'clock in the morning. Luccyana aka her mother Araya has been awake since a few minutes ago. Sit on one of the benches at the dining table while staring at the piece of paper in front of him. The paper contained a summons for Araya, but the letter was not from school. Rather it was sent by an organization, called the 'Elemental Organization of Asia,' or it could be called the Asian Element Organization.
The letter contains a call and a request addressed to Luccyana to allow Araya— his youngest daughter— to join the organization. The organization has a great duty and responsibility, which is to eradicate and prevent all events and chaos caused by Darkness Swordman—the dark warrior— who harms mankind, coupled with being a mediator in a conflict and looking for a way out of the conflict. In addition, they also have a duty to maintain the balance of nature.
"Araya, I think your time has come. You've grown up" Araya's mother's inner self after reading the letter several times. The letter he received from a young man wearing formal clothing, yesterday afternoon. The young man is one proof that the organization really exists.
An hour later ...
"Hoaahhmm! Good morning, Mother" said Araya when she woke up and greeted her mother who was sitting on the dining table chair.
"Good morning. Araya, keep your mouth shut when you yawn." His mother rebuked the evaporating Araya without covering her mouth.
"Sorry Mom, I forgot. After this, I won't forget again." said Araya, looking down.
"alright. That, I made breakfast for you" said Luccyana as she directed her gaze toward the cupboard near the dish shelf. Araya walked towards that thing. Then he took the breakfast prepared by his mother. Breakfast was toast and eggs.
Araya ate it after she sat back on the table. He ate very well without making a sound. In the end, he finished eating. He went and went to the bathroom.
"Thank you for breakfast Mom, I'll be ready to go to school" Araya said after cleaning up her breakfast, and was about to get out of the chair.
"Araya, from today on you will not go to school" said his mother, who made Araya look at him with a confused look.
"Hmm? What do you mean by mother?" tanya Araya did not understand while frowning.
"You won't go to school anymore" his mother said.
"But why, Mom? Did I make a mistake until I got kicked out of school?"
"No, try to read this" said Luccyana, handing over the letter she had read a moment ago. Araya read it carefully, but he still could not conclude.
End flashback ...

"Why did we get this letter, ma'am?" araya asked, she was not sure of the answer her mother would say.
"Come on, but you have to follow her" said Luccyana, not sure if Araya would believe it either.
"Look, baby, you'll find out soon enough, and this letter is really for us, exactly for you. You'll be back to normal life once the mission's over." His mother confirmed once again.
"Huh .. I'll think about it Mom. Please give me some time." ask Araya after sighing.
"Alright, try to make sure you have a decision before two o'clock" Luccyana replied, nodding.
...----------------...
At one o'clock in the afternoon, Araya was in the park alone. For almost three hours he was there to think about his decision. If he was in the room before, then on the terrace, and now in the city park. In the park, he sat on a swing located near a shady tree, so that the place became not too hot.
"Huh ... What should I do?" araya asked herself, while slowly moving the swing she was sitting on.
"Do I have to refuse, or accept?" mumbling slowly.
WUUUUHH!
Suddenly, something extremely fast flashed in front of him. His movement speed was even faster than the speed of the vehicle. When the object passes, it is also accompanied by a golden yellow light.
"Well, what is that?" tanya Araya was confused, while confirming her front hair that was a little messy due to being blown by the wind.
"Who saw what?" ask someone from behind Araya. A woman's voice.
"Whoaah!" Araya was shocked for the second time. Even this time, he had almost toppled over from the swing.
"Hehe .. sorry." said the person as he reached out his hand to help Araya stand up.
"Who are you?" asked Araya while standing up without receiving a helping hand. Then clean his clothes that are slightly exposed to the ground.
"I'm Hanny. Greetings." said the girl as she extended her hand to shake hands. Araya also extended her right hand to shake hands with him.
"That guy, it's a little weird." said Araya inwardly after seeing Hanny. He had orange eyes, and blond hair, but there was a black strand.
"Hmm, okay. I was asked to pick someone up. See you." said Hanny before she walked away.
"See you," Araya replied as she looked at Hanny who started walking away from her.
After that, he felt—seeing the sun that began to lean to the west— signaled the time was past noon.
"It looks like it's two o'clock. I gotta go home. But, I haven't decided anything ..." he muttered.
"All right, I'll just go home."
