Elemental Gen - Z

Chapter 11's

[Test Arc - #8]

...----------------...

"I'll make you understand the geographical material and increase your IQ all at once" Dae-Vin said, staring intently at Araya.

"B.. how..how?" tanya Araya was a little stammered. After which, Dae-Vin turns his gaze, staring at the Araya study table equipped with a screen. Dae-Vin also turned on the screen, shortly afterwards, on the screen there is a picture of a game, which is often called 'Puzzle'.

"Isn't this a puzzle?" araya asks after Dae-Vin finishes sending the game off his tab.

"Yes, this is the Asian puzzle. You must know the location, characteristics, and potential natural resources of every country in Asia. If you can finish it in thirty minutes, then your IQ is already above 130." Dae-vin explained. It turned out to be a map of the Asian continent that was made into a puzzle. In the digital puzzle, there are one hundred and twenty pieces of the puzzle. Ten pieces are horizontal and twelve are vertical.

"It's still an easy level, why don't you start trying it?" Dae-Vin said as he folded his arms in front of his chest while putting on a flat face.

Araya began to think, how to solve this puzzle? Maybe he should start from a country he knows first.

"Hmm, I'll start from Indonesia first. This is a picture of the island of Borneo, this is a picture of the island of Sumatra and western Java. Sulawesi Island is here, then here Central Java to Nusa Tenggara. Oh yes, this is the country of Timor Leste. Moluccas, and here the island of Papua. It's finished! Only one country I've solved." thought Araya as she moved and arranged the puzzle pieces into place to form a map of Asia.

After Araya completed the puzzle of the Indonesian part of the country, so it is complete, its location, characteristics, and the potential of its natural resources. Because the natural resources in Indonesia are very much, so only the most described. Such as the largest petroleum producing areas, coal producers, gold, clove plantations, and so forth.

After that, Araya tried to continue the game. He began to put together a puzzle of countries in southeast Asia.

"Here Singapore, on the island of Borneo there is the country of Malaysia and also Brunei Darussalam. This is Thailand, this is Laos. Myanmar, Philippines, Cambodia, and Vietnam. Yey, Southeast Asia is complete. There are still many." said Araya in the heart. He has already completed the puzzle of the southeastern Asian continent. Even so, he still hadn't even completed half of it.

The longer, the harder it is. He had to completely memorize the characteristics of each country. He is quite memorized about the characteristics of the country in Southeast Asia, because the eighth grade had been studied. Singapore as the smallest and most advanced country in Southeast Asia, Brunei is rich in produce other than Indonesia. Thailand and the Philippines produce rice. Laos has no sea, and so on.

...----------------...

Long story short, Araya solved the puzzle in forty minutes. Ten minutes late from the target time.

"For a long time." said Dae-Vin slowly after seeing the results of Araya's hard work. Slow, but true.

"You said it was easy, but it's hard." Araya replied, because the puzzle was quite difficult. Not to mention if that's a map of the world. There are hundreds of countries.

"You haven't memorized the characteristics, so it's difficult" Dae-Vin said as he looked at Araya.

...----------------...

Right now, it's twelve o'clock in the afternoon. Time for rest and lunch. Now, Araya had just walked out of the study room.

"Well, I can finally be free from Dae-Vin" said Araya happy because for a while she could stay away from Dae-Vin who taught her with a speeding system.

"You're still not free" said Dae-Vin. From his voice, it seemed like he was behind Araya. Araya turned around.

"Kim Dae-Vin?"

"You think I didn't hear what you said? Don't try to run away." Dae-Vin retorted as he put his foot up and walked past Araya's left side, putting both of his hands into his pants pocket.

"Truly annoying," inner Araya while putting on a sullen expression. To him, Dae-Vin is like an ice maze, cold, hard to conquer, and also hard. Maybe one day Araya will melt it.

...----------------...

After lunch, Araya returns to study together with Dae-Vin at exactly half an hour.

They studied English maples on the theme 'Use of Wish and Hope'. It is a phrase that a person uses to convey hope.

Currently, Dae-Vin asks Araya to write down one sentence that contains hope in English.

"Write one sentence of your hope using the word 'hope'" said Dae-Vin. Araya soon gets an idea of that hope. Hope is..

"I hope I finish studying with him soon. (I hope I'll finish studying with him soon)." Araya wrote it on her tab. Dae-Vin realizes Araya's intentions.

"Oh, do you want to learn this quickly? Yes, it could be, depending on your ability. Now you still can't, and I still have a lot of patience. So, don't expect the learning to be finished now" Dae-Vin asserted. Araya breathed her. Dae-Vin may be really ambitious to teach Araya so she can pass the retest tomorrow.

...----------------...

Araya felt her head pulsing, eyes that began to heavy and hot as a result of continuing to stare at the gadget. He felt, his finger was also getting weaker due to writing constantly. Not to forget anyway, his body is stiff because all day he just sits.

Araya has just completed five physics lessons on magnetism. Dae-Vin is correcting it. And the result is right two and wrong three.

"Much is wrong. You should have been"

"ENOUGH!" Araya cuts Dae-Vin's speech while standing up and slightly breaks the table that is not made of wood. It seems that Araya is really tired. If you are tired, you should rest, right? Seeing that, Dae-Vin just stared at him flatly.

"Thank you for teaching me. But, from now on, I'll learn on my own! I will study until I truly understand it! I'll try to get better grades. So, enough to get here. I'll go, sorry to bother you!" araya said with the intonation he confirmed. He picked up the tab, then ran away from the room.

...----------------...

Araya is confused where to go. His intention was that he wanted to get some fresh air, but here was not allowed to leave the base area without permission. As he passed through the hallway, he saw a symbol that depicted people climbing the stairs. Like the symbol of an emergency ladder, but the ladder is pointing upwards. Araya tried to get through the place.

After climbing several tens of steps, he finally arrived at an open room, like a roof that was located outside. The place faces west. The sun was almost setting.

"Perhaps, I'll just calm down here." Araya's inner self after seeing the bright orange sea and sunset view.

Finally, Araya sat there. He drowned his face on the hands that were hugging his knees.

"Today was really hard for me. Ugh. My stomach hurts.." Araya sat down while closing her eyes that were starting to water. Today, he has a little trouble controlling emotions that happen to be volatile, rather sensitive.

He continued there, while occasionally listening to audio about the explanation of a subject matter from an online learning application. Originally there were her visuals as well, but she only listened to her audio because her eyes were already tired. Araya is not the type of person who likes to rush. He prefers a relaxed, aloof and calm. And sometimes, he likes the rain, in such moments, his brain is more fluent in thinking.

He is there to forget all the unfinished problems, such as studying together with Dae-Vin. He wanted to empty his mind for a moment. Seeking tranquility.

...----------------...

In another room, a man about sixteen years old was walking towards his room. At that moment, he crossed paths with Zaaryan.

"Annyeong (hi), Dae-Vin" Zaaryan said in Korean. He likes to learn foreign languages by himself. He greets her because he sees Dae-Vin who looks a little moody.

"A.. Annyeong.." reply Dae-Vin lethargicly.

"You why? I saw you pacing back and forth." asked Zaaryan after realizing there was something strange about Kim Dae-Vin.

"Hmm, you.. See Araya?"

"No, today I did not see Araya. Wasn't she with you?" reply Zaaryan after Dae-Vin asks. Dae-Vin sighed.

"What.. is there a problem?" Zaaryan dared to ask.

"Just a little. It's all because of me overdoing it. All right, I'm leaving." said Dae-Vin before he finally walked away from Zaaryan.

"Where are you, Araya?"
