[Inauguration Exam Arc - #6]
...----------------...
"Araya, it's almost noon now. We'd better find another one" Dae-Vin said as he pulled Araya's right wrist.
"Eh, wait-" Araya was speechless. Same with Jeasson. Lina directly dragged him in the opposite direction.
Kim Dae-Vin is still pulling Araya's right wrist, tens of meters away.
"Dae-Vin, what's wrong? Let go of me" Araya asked, Dae-Vin holding his hand like a little boy crossing the street with his father. Dae-Vin holds her hand tightly, so that Araya herself is unable to break away.
Instead of releasing Araya, Dae-Vin stops instead. He stood up while looking down.
"You're still asking what's up?" dae-vin said sounding disappointed, he was still staring down.
"Why are you insensitive?" he said again, this time his tone sounded sad. Slowly, Dae-Vin releases his hand.
"Bright.." Dae-Vin sighed, then turned to look at Araya with his flat gaze. He held both shoulders of Araya, slightly lowered to equal his height with Araya.
Araya's heart was pounding, their faces were so close, his breathing was felt. Araya tried to look the other way. Honestly speaking, he was very embarrassed to look directly at Dae-Vin, let alone at such a close distance.
"Hey, look at this person in front of you" said Dae-Vin, holding Araya's chin, so that Araya looked at her.
The deg! The deg! The deg! The deg!
Araya's heart is beating faster. His pupils dilated. Then, Dae-Vin immediately hugs her. Araya was speechless. He was just him when he was hugged tightly by someone he had only known not long ago.
"Our mumps are not at the base. Let me be like this, just for a moment." said Dae-Vin still while hugging Araya tightly. He closed his eyes. Araya seemed to need a little more time so that her brain could process the events she was going through.
"Why are you quiet? Answer me," said Dae-Vin again. Araya doesn't know what to say.
"I. i-yes. Ke..why do you.want to be like this?" Araya dared to ask. Even though he was very nervous for now.
"You'll know someday. Message from me, you cannot be close to another man." replied Dae-Vin without letting go of his embrace.
"Don't you think what Hanny said was true? Dae-vin likes me?" ask Araya in my heart. Without her noticing, she reciprocates Dae-Vin's embrace. It feels comfortable and warm. Now they can both feel the heartbeat of the person being hugged.
Not long after, there was something very strange. The atmosphere there became not as comfortable as before.
"Kim Dae-Vin, w-what's that?" asked Araya in a frightened tone. He looked straight ahead, behind Dae-Vin. It was about twenty meters from where they were.
"What?" dae-vin asked still holding her.
"Like a black shadow." replied Araya still with a tone like that.
"Shadows are indeed black" Dae-Vin said in his usual tone.
"He's getting closer.."
"You want to lie to me?"
"I'm not lying, look behind you."
"Where? There ain't?" dae-vin said after he looked behind him. There was nothing, just some trees and bushes.
"So there, I'm really not-Observe!" Araya immediately pushes Dae-Vin's body. They were separated because someone attacked from behind them.
"Arya!"
"Haha! It turned out that the young Elementals were here. Very good, I can directly defeat you! Ahhaha!" his voice sounded heavy and also terrible. He was the black shadow. He could suddenly switch places, but not use teleportation. He could immediately move to a place where there was a shadow.
"No.. No way, he is." Dae-Vin said in his heart. He was completely in disbelief, the Darkness Swordman had appeared. He saw it in front of his own eyes.
Darkness Swordman, an evil being from another dimension. Somehow he was able to get to his human dimension. Previously, the boundary between dimensions was closed, but not permanent. Not all residents of other dimensions are evil.
"What do you want huh?!" dae-vin asked loudly after getting back on his feet.
"What do I want? I want your organization to be dissolved, no, destroyed forever! Ahhaha!"
"We won't let that happen!" Araya.
"Araya, we're still not strong enough to deal with it, we'd better" Dae-Vin's speech was cut off.
"Receive this warm-up attack of mine! Hyaa!" Darkness Swordman used his sword technique. The sword was layered in shadows and the blade was extremely thin. Maybe as thin as paperboard.
"Revelation!" Dae-Vin immediately encourages Araya not to be hit by the Darkness Swordman's attack.
"We have to get out of here" said Dae-Vin in a quiet voice, but still able to be heard by Araya.
"B. alright." without a second thought, Araya immediately agreed. The two of them immediately ran as fast as they could to save themselves.
"I could have used teleportation, but.. Ah it's okay!"
"Dae-Vin, take my hand! We're going to teleport!" while running, Araya extended her left hand.
"Don't, you'll be"
"All right," Dae-Vin just went along. He again held Araya's left hand.
"Take us to the safest place on the island!"
...----------------...
"Well, I'm tired." said Zaaryan after trying to coat the blade using the fire element. But the experiment is not perfect.
"Feary already? Just ten minutes you tried, you know." Henry replied while looking at him. It was true, it had only been ten minutes they trained together, but already dozens of experiments, nothing had worked. Occasionally it almost works, but the fire is too big and then goes out immediately.
"Like this, you know, focus your elements on the hand that holds the object" said Henry again, while exemplifying. He held his sword, it didn't take long, the blade of the sword was instantly engulfed by flames.
"I've tried it" Zaaryan said in a somewhat dispirited tone. Indeed, he had tried it many times, even better until it was too good, until the blade of the sword became like a giant torch. He panicked, then instantly died of the fire.
"It's important that you focus, but don't take it too seriously. If you want the fire to be big and last long, you just focus more on your elements. Don't think about anything else, unless you're already unable or out of energy." explains Henry. Zaaryan just stared at him normally. In the end, Henry's expression suddenly changed. Who was excited, be alert.
"What's wrong?" zaaryan asked after noticing the sudden change.
"You feeling it? Hot.." Henry's reply still remained with his watchful expression.
"Yes, did you just use the fire element."
"No, it's not that. My feelings are uncomfortable. I hope nothing bad happens" Henry said, holding his nape.
...----------------...
In the meadow, Hanny and Xela were still attacking each other accompanied by a debate about it. Attack, then argue. After arguing, attack again. That's next.
"You're such a bitch! You've ruined my plan! You have to accept the consequences!" said Xela while attacking with her ice technique. Using her sound elements, Hanny was able to dodge them quickly.
"I didn't mean to do that at all. But what's your plan, miss?" hanny asked after successfully avoiding the blasting of the sharp ice at the end.
"Don't pretend you don't know!"
JGEEERRR!
A lightning voice suddenly sounded. The sky around the island became dark covered in a dark colored mist. From a distance, a faint purple-colored light was seen that pointed towards the sky. Instantly, the two of them stopped their affairs.
"What's that?" hanny and Xela asked almost simultaneously.
"Don't, she's back" said Xela quietly, but Hanny could still hear her voice.
"He's who you mean?"
"Darkness Swordman." said Xela softly as her gaze was still fixed on the sky.
"Who is Darkness Swordman?" hanny asked again, she always wanted to know.
"It seems you're still reading poorly. He's an evil creature from another dimension. Shadow creatures, the World Elemental Organization's greatest enemy."
"Creatures from another dimension? What does he want?" hanny asked again.
"He wants to rule this world. In addition to maintaining the peace and balance of nature, the organization's duty is also to the human defense of the Darkness Swordman."
...----------------...
"Aah!" Araya just got somewhere far away. But that doesn't mean the place is safe. They even reached near a very deep ravine.
"Why did we get here?" dae-vin asks after the two of them just arrived.
"Eitherway. Wait, I'm sorry I forgot to tell you that my teleportation device was actually a little damaged when I saved the lion cub." Araya explained while staring at her transformation tool which had several scratches.
"Is that? It's okay, at least we're not right in the middle of the abyss, and now we're a long way from that thing. The most important thing now is that you don't go to sleep all of a sudden" Dae-Vin said. After teleporting for a second person, this time Araya no longer sleeps suddenly. It might have been quite proficient or it might be because his teleportation tool was slightly damaged so there were no side effects.
"But what about the others? What if they meet the Darkness Swordman? Hanny, Zaaryan, Jeasson's sister and Lina's sister?" Araya was getting worried. Dae-Vin holds both of his shoulders to make him feel calmer.
"Calm down, they'll be fine. They are no longer alone." said Dae-Vin as he looked at Araya.
"How do you know?"
"Yes I know. Hanny is with Xela, if Zaaryan might be with another European Element member. And those two people must be together." Dae-Vin's guess was right. There are currently no members who are alone. Including the two of them, not alone.
"Arayans.. I'm happy because I can be with you right now."
To be continued..
