Elemental Gen - Z

Chapter 21's

[Inauguration Exam Arc - #2]

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

"You're allowed to leave,"

The captain has allowed them. The four of them entered the portal. Just like passing through a door, just by stepping one step, it has directly arrived at the destination. In this way, they can save time and energy.

A moment after passing through the portal, the atmosphere instantly changed. What used to look bright and modern, is now a little dark and dense with large trunked trees and thick leaves. Especially now that it was still early in the morning, the air was still a little cold, but very fresh. Therefore, they are advised to wear a jacket and long training so that it is not too cold and so as not to be bitten by insects.

"Well, so this is the forest? It's so wide." said Hanny after she passed through the portal. He looked around, there were only trees that were producing oxygen. There, also heard the sound of crickets that are mutually disdainful.

"Yes, it's very broad. Are we in the middle of the forest?" reply Zaaryan. The forest is indeed located on a remote island, with an area of about forty square kilometers, or it could be forty thousand square meters, if the unit is reduced to meters.

"So where are we going to start?" Aria asked. Looking at the vastness of the forest, it seemed like they had to split up, or they would run out of time and not be able to pass later.

"Maybe we should split up to save time. Araya you can't be alone" Dae-Vin's words were cut off, because Hanny had already spoken.

"I'll be with Araya" said Hanny. Originally, Dae-Vin wanted to be with Araya, but even first. In the end, she relented, she did not want her feelings for Araya to be revealed.

"Alright, me and Zaaryan will not be together. You dare to be alone, right?" dae-vin asked Zaaryan who had been looking around.

"Eh? Yes, of course I'm brave." Zaaryan replied.

"Let's start to split up" Dae-Vin said as he started walking towards the front. After that, Zaaryan walked to the right, and Araya and Hanny walked to the left.

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

In the middle of the forest, Araya walks hand in hand with Hanny next to him. They did not open the conversation, the journey when it became a silent journey. There was only the sound of shoes rubbing against the ground, as well as the crickets sounding clear and earthy.

They had walked for about fifteen minutes, maybe they had traveled for more than a kilometer.

"Emm, Hanny." said Araya, she wanted to open the subject so it wouldn't be too quiet.

"Yes, why?" he turned back to look towards Araya.

"Why haven't you been talking to me?" araya asks, if she didn't call Hanny, maybe Hanny still hasn't spoken to her.

"What do you want to talk about? Yesterday, what happened to you? Dae-Vin asked for your personal mobile number" Hanny said. He found a topic of conversation that seemed to be interesting.

"really? Why would he ask for my cell phone number?" Araya asks back, before Dae-Vin had not had time to send a message, so he obviously did not know what he meant.

"Why are you even asking me? Didn't he send you a message?"

"No, he didn't send anything."

"What a weird thing, maybe he just wants to keep your contact number. And what was it yesterday? Why are you called?"

"Hmm that.. We were in a bit of trouble" said Araya, lowering her voice and lowering her head.

"Because of trouble? I thought you guys would be inaugurated the organization. What's the problem?" ask Hanny again. He always wanted to know. But, this problem should not be privatized, so that other members become aware of and do not imitate their mistakes.

"Problems.. They think we're romantically involved."

"What?!" hanny said in a slightly loud voice. He stopped his steps, and held both Araya's shoulders. Araya just put on a confused expression.

"How come? What did you guys do before?" ask Hanny again. Araya is confused to start explaining from which part.

After that, they walked back. Hanny looked at him while putting on a curious expression.

"You really want to know?" ask Araya again. It will be useless if he has told everything at length, but his friends do not listen. Hanny nodded in agreement.

"So like this.."

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

Araya also told me about yesterday. Hanny put her hearing on very well. After Araya finished telling the story, Hanny gave her a look, as if saying, 'Don't be too in mind.'

"Hah, that incident was very unpleasant." said Hanny with a sigh after listening to Araya's story to finish without interrupting at all.

"Eh yeah, do you have feelings for Dae-Vin?" ask Hanny again while briefly elbowing Araya's arm.

"Hmm no, just plain." replied Araya half muttered. He did not, perhaps more precisely not yet, have not felt anything while near Kim Dae-Vin.

"What a normal thing? Hmm.." asked Hanny again, then looked at Araya with a probing gaze. Their steps stopped.

"Why?" Araya asked while slightly tilting her head after being given such a look. Of course he felt uncomfortable being stared at like that.

"You really don't feel anything? And from afar I knew that Dae-Vin had feelings for you" Hanny said. Araya just smiled faintly.

"I was too small to understand that" said Araya. He did not understand that feeling too much. So far, only once has there been one man who filled the day of Araya, but not Dae-Vin. But his upperclassmen were already the same age as Dae-Vin and Zaaryan.

"Oh yes, if you know, yesterday it was Dae-Vin who carried you when you teleported suddenly" said Hanny, Araya immediately changed her expression.

"Mmm, let's just go ahead" said Araya trying to shift the topic. He began to move his legs, turning his face so that Hanny would not see his blushing face. So, is Araya lying?

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

In another part of the forest, a man in a black jacket was walking alone. He tried to put up his sight and hearing very well, to detect whether there was anyone else or not. So far, he hasn't found anyone.

"That's bored.. If he's here, maybe not" he said in his heart. For the time being, she desperately wanted someone to accompany her. A cute and innocent little girl, Araya.

Dae-Vin stops his steps, after seeing the view of the meadow that was in front of him.

"Why didn't the Captain tell me there was a meadow here?" ask in the heart. The meadow was quite spacious with several tree trunks scattered there.

Dae-Vin is sitting there. He was already quite tired, already thirty minutes he was walking without rest.

"If you think about it, it's beautiful here. Especially if there is him, it must be more beautiful." he thought while imagining himself playing under the rainbow along with someone he loved. What's he thinking? Not usually.

To be continued..
