Elemental Gen - Z

Chapter 77's

[Headquarters Arc - #3]

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

Right now, Araya is in the library. Standing in front of a high bookshelf and filled with books lined up. His height is nothing compared to the other members. Several times Araya had to climb the stairs to find a book that she found interesting.

"Hm.. Lots of books.. To the extent that I was confused which one to read." muttered Araya while observing the row of books in the third row from above.

"That seems good, Park-Hana" Shiroi said as the lights on her transformation device flickered as she spoke.

"Which one?"

"That's, it's 'The Biography of Elemental' in the second row from the top."

Araya nodded hearing what Shiroi said. Well, as he wanted, he wanted to know the biography of each member. However, only the general point of view is explained.

Araya tried to reach him, even he also jumped small to be able to take the book. But still, he didn't arrive.

"Why not take the stairs?" ask someone from behind him. Suddenly, Araya turned her head back and looked at the person who was talking.

"Sister Lucas?" he asked after realizing that in this room he was not alone. For a moment he forgot Lucas' question.

Then, the tall man walked up to Araya, and then picked up the book that Araya wanted to read.

Without saying a word, he thrust the book at Araya.

"Thank you, Brother." Araya thanked him after receiving the book. Lucas did not answer anything, he only brought one book and then sat in one of the chairs not far from there.

Still in that place, Araya began to open the book. Carefully, he read one by one the biographies of the Elemental members, from the first generation to the present generation.

"Which one? The seventh generation Asian elemental.." inwardly, Araya spoke as her gaze still observed the table of contents. He did read some, but did not find what he wanted to find, the biography of his father.

"Well, this is on page 77." after finding the information, Araya immediately flipped through the pages of the book, until she finally found what she was looking for.

"So, is this my father? Her name is Arga Adhyasta. No pseudonyms?" Araya frowned after briefly reading her father's biography in the book. There's a picture of him, a photo taken about twelve years ago. It's true, there's only a real name on it.

"And a recent pseudonym, Araya" Shiroi said, reminding him, Araya just nodded slowly. It was true that Shiroi said, Araya just forgot about it.

"Date of Birth, February 10, 1978. Means it's 43 years now" Araya said in her heart as she read. At first glance, he did not remember that there was someone else in the room.

Araya continued reading it. Who had been impressed relaxed, now he changed his expression. Especially after he read the passage that tells him that Arga was declared defeated in his last mission while trying to defeat Darkzero.

Araya bit her lower lip, her left hand was clenched, while her right hand was still holding a book.

"Based on witnesses from his colleagues, there was then that father was still alive. It's just, I don't know where you are now." Araya thought, thinking that someday, she would meet her father in person. Of course at first he was just fantasizing, he also still had not started to be trained in this primary member. The exercises are certainly several times heavier than the exercises at the base.

"Hey, calm down" Shiroi said after feeling a strange aura coming out from within Araya.

Araya let out a long sigh, "i won't just shut up." He said as he slightly distanced the book from his face.

"You haven't read the follow-up."

After hearing what Shiroi said, Araya immediately turned the page of the book, right on the seventy-eight page. There, he found something. Like a letter attached to the paper of the book, it was just handwritten by someone.

"For someone, please pass on my message to my beloved daughter, her name is Araya. He's a year old, but please. One day, give him a letter to join the organization. Not for nothing, it's just, I want her to grow up to be a strong and tough girl. Tell me I mean this to Araya when she's thirteen.

And when Araya is officially a member, know that I am always supportive. Although I had not seen him for a long time, I knew that he would be a good boy. Wherever I am now, I am sure Araya will one day find me under any circumstances.

Dear Araya, you train earnestly. I believe that you can definitely become a good Elemental member, better than you. Never put out your spirit huh."

Both Araya's hands shook after reading those three paragraphs. Eyes glazed. For most members, they assume that the letter is just a joke. However, the other two members who were one squad with Arga balked at their response. They always supported Arga. They are now known as Professor F and Professor R.

"Dad, Araya can definitely save you" Araya said without a sound. His eyes grew heavier, and in the end..

DUK!

The book he was holding slipped out of his grip, fell down, and then closed. Araya has fallen asleep.

The sound of the book falling just now managed to catch Lucas' attention. He looked back and looked at Araya who had fallen asleep in front of the bookshelf.

"He's sleeping?" he murmured while observing the sleeping Araya. Indeed, many are sleepy after reading a book, in contrast to reading on a gadget.

Then, Lucas walked over to Araya. Walking without making a sound. He crouched down right in front of Araya, looked at her head-on, then looked at the book lying in front of her.

He picked it up, and read the title at a glance.

"So, this is what he's reading." she said as she put the book back on the shelf. After that, he sat down right next to Araya.

He looked at the girl's sleeping face next to him. Then, Lucas took off his jacket, then put it on Araya so as not to get cold.

Fifteen minutes passed, and he was still there. Still reading the book earlier while occasionally watching Araya.

"Akhs! What the hell am I doing? Can't! He was the golden boy who was predicted to defeat Darkzero! Don't ruin his future!" her inner self while squeezing the rough of her dark blue hair. He is also a water element controller, like Kim Dae-Vin. Only, his level and ability were higher.

His left hand trembled, and then a soft sound came from the transformation tool he was also wearing. "You still want to be here?" ask Lucas.

"It seems like yes, I can't leave him alone here" he replied in a soft voice that seemed heavy. Of course the reason he swallowed his voice was so as not to disturb Araya.

"Be careful, don't do anything weird."

"Yes-yes." she answered briefly, then closed her eyes. He also fell asleep there, right next to Araya.

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

In a different place and the same time, Ryusei aka Kim Dae-Vin sat pensively on his desk chair. His feeling is uncomfortable. Especially, he thought about the state of Araya that originally no longer needed to be thought about. After all, Araya can take care of herself.

In a huff, he scribbled a blank piece of HVS paper lying in front of him. His mind is in a state of turmoil at the moment.

"Araya, I hope you're okay. I will also keep myself from them." he muttered while looking at what he managed to draw with mixed emotions.

Those Dae-Vin meant were female members who were also part of the secondary squad. Three of the seven members are female, they all like Dae-Vin as well. Pretty complicated business.
