[Inauguration Exam Arc - #4]

"Hey, why are you so angry?" ask the man while re-inserting his sword.

"Think of it yourself." replied the woman sniffly. He was standing right in front of the lion that kept roaring. Later then..

"Tranquilizer Powder," he said slowly, then around there appeared powders that were pink rather purple. Tranquilizer Powder means tranquilizing powder. After the powder appeared, the lion stopped roaring and calmed down.

The woman stroked the lion's head gently.

"It turns out this is what happened" he said slowly.

"What's wrong?" ask the man while walking closer to him. Same with Araya.

"His daughter had disappeared while she was hunting. And when we accidentally entered his domain, he thought that we had taken his son." she explained. It turned out that besides being able to use the technique of tranquilizing powder and retaining roots, he could also know the contents of the minds of other living things. It's amazing, right?

"Today, where did I see the lion cub?" ask Araya in my heart. It seemed like he had seen a lion cub while he was waiting for Hanny by the river.

"Ah yes! It seems I saw it earlier." said Araya after remembering the incident that had not happened long ago.

"See what?" asked the two of them compactly while setting his gaze on Araya.

"Lion cub. Looks like it's drifting in the river. Lion cubs can't swim, right?" after that, Araya started running away from the place.

"Hey where are you going?" ask the woman before Araya runs further.

"Find it!" said Araya while briefly looking back, then continued running.

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

Since parting ways with his friends, Zaaryan has found nothing. So far, he hasn't met anyone. Currently, he had even reached the white sandy beach which was a forest rim on the island.

"Why did I get to the beach? Wasn't it like being in the middle of a forest? Quickly I walk." said Zaaryan inwardly as he looked at the stretch of sand on the beach.

The air is not too hot, it is not too late. Not far from where Zaaryan was standing, there was someone sitting under a tree that was not too shady, the height of the tree was about ten meters.

Zaaryan approached the person. He's about nineteen years old. There he was making a sand castle, deliberately a little far from the waters so that the sand castle was not destroyed in the waves.

"Excuse me," Zaaryan said as he walked closer to her.

"Eh, you must be a member of an Asian element organization huh?" he said while taking his eyes off the sand palace he was making under the tree.

"really. Why are you here alone?" zaaryan asked as he sat next to the man. The man also wore an armband that read 'Henry' and also had a picture of the French flag.

"We were asked to split up. I didn't think you'd find me here." he replied as he looked back at the sand castle that was still not fully finished.

"Oh yeah, I'm Henry, from France. What's yourname?" he asked after remembering that they had not yet met. He looked at Zaaryan while putting on a faint smile.

"My name is Zaaryan from Malaysia. Hello to you."

After that, they shake hands. Zaaryan felt the heat in his palm when it was. Later then..

"Wait, are you a fire element controller?" zaaryan asked with a different expression. Because the man's skin feels hot, inversely proportional to the outside that looks fine.

"Yep! Exactly it. The second level fire element and also the first stage earth element." Henry replied with a friendly smile. "You're also fire element controllers, right?" henry continued, putting on a probing look.

"I. yes." replied Zaaryan with a slight strange feeling after seeing Henry's probing gaze.

"What stage?" ask Henry again.

"Still the first stage." replied Zaaryan.

"Hmm pretty good. I just recently climbed to the second stage. It's not too difficult either." said Henry, imagining his experience of practicing using the elements to get to the second stage.

"Really?"

"Yes, do you want me to teach you? If you can, I'll give you the gift, the sapphire you need."

"Well, really?" asked Zaaryan with sparkling eyes. From his words and expression, it seemed like Henry was a person who loved peace. Prefer to teach him rather than to invite him to fight.

"of course. We'll practice for four hours. You ready?"

"Yes!" zaaryan is excited.

"alright. This is the exercise." said Henry, pointing out the expanse of sand, with no other object. Zaaryan changed his expression.

"M.. What does that mean?" zaaryan asked, he still did not understand Henry's intentions.

"First exercise. Make the building from sand without tools. You can only use both hands. Thirty minutes."

"What?"

......................

The other with Henry. His work is very good. He built a building that closely resembles the Eiffel Tower in Paris, France. It's just that the size is so much different. You could say, he made a miniature of it.

"Time's up!" henry said while looking at his watch which was also an element controller. Then, pat his palm to clean the sand that was stuck.

"I still haven't made anything." said Zaaryan, but he still didn't give up. Maybe he'll ask in another way.

"You just made a mound? What exactly do you want to do?" asked Henry after seeing what Zaaryan was doing earlier. Zaaryan just made a sand dune.

"Come away." Zaaryan replied lethargicly.

"Huh. okay. I'll be fine, so I'll give you a second chance. Make as much as you can, this time it's one hour and fifteen minutes. You agree?" said Henry. Zaaryan nodded in agreement. He is still not satisfied with his work Zaaryan. So he gave a second chance so he could make a better and more interesting one.

"Now begin!"

"I'm gonna do what? Hmm! How about a miniature Petronas Twin Towers?" zaaryan said in his heart. In the end, he intends to make a miniature of the Petronas Twin Towers, which is one of the uniqueness of the neighboring country.

......................

"Time's up!" Henry has announced. Now the time is over. Zaaryan had finished his work, he had actually made a miniature of the Petronas Twin Towers.

"Hmm, appreciable. Turns out you just need time. I gave you eighty." said Henry after seeing Zaaryan's work. Pretty good for a beginner who is just playing sand on the beach.

"really? Did I graduate?" asked Zaaryan in disbelief.

"For this time you passed, but there's still more tests."

"What test is that?"

"Tests turn things into fire."

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

"Huh. huh.. He is very strong." said Dae-Vin with a breath of breath after a few minutes he fought against Xela so he could get the emerald.

"You still don't give up?" xela asked while putting on a joyful look as she looked at Dae-Vin who was getting exhausted. Sweat has been drenching his temples ever since.

"No way!"

"Wow wow, just relax. If it's not strong, you don't have to push yourself." said Xela while holding Dae-Vin's chin. It's really complicated. Dae-Vin's body is trapped in a chunk of ice that makes it difficult for him to move, although the chunk of ice is not too big. Xela had already reached the second stage of the ice element and the third stage of the water element.

"Keep your hands!" dae-vin said in his cold tone. He began to feel himself being held by others.

"Ooh so you don't want ya." replied Xela. Then he turned around, actually he was disappointed. Turn around to hide his true facial expression.

"It's okay." said Xela again, slowly the ice began to melt.

"You why?" Dae-vin asked. He was indeed a little insensitive, of course quite annoying for some people who like it, asking things that are certain and predictable.

"It's okay! Don't come near me!" xela then ran away from the meadow. Dae-Vin just stared at him flat.

To be continued..
