Elemental Gen - Z

Chapter 80's

[Headquarters Arc - #6]

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

Araya stared at the plate of rice and side dishes that were already available on the table in front of him. Though the rice is only a plate, but the side dishes are many. Vegetable and animal side dishes are all there. Well, all of that was one of the factors that could affect the physical quality and health of the Elemental members.

He still did not touch his food, in contrast to the four male colleagues who had started devouring their food.

"Hey, let's eat, it'll be cold." after finishing chewing and swallowing the food, Henry said as he looked at Araya who was only silent.

"Eh, yes Brother." Briefly, Araya replied. Then, he took a spoon and started eating a serving of rice and soup. Because of the many choices of side dishes, he was confused about which one to choose.

Araya began to feed the food into her mouth. Warm, this food has not long been cooked by passive members who are in charge of taking care of the food.

"It doesn't feel much different than the one in the base once did" he said inwardly as he chewed. And then, he ate in silence. His appetite is not much. In contrast to his colleagues who look excited in the matter of eating.

Without Araya noticing, there was a pair of eyes that several times looked at her dislike. He did not like it because he was surrounded by men. Who else if not Ryusei aka Kim Dae-Vin.

"Ryusei, what did you see?" ask one of his blond colleagues. He asked after seeing his colleague's strange gestures.

"It's okay."

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

"So, what's the matter exactly?" araya asks Dae-Vin who is now right in front of her. The distance between the two was also not up to a meter. Several times Araya rotated his eyeballs so as not to keep looking at the man.

"Just right away, are you okay?"

Dae-Vin's question just made Araya raise her head while frowning. "You mean?"

"Test four, you can't swim right?" he asked while placing his right palm on the wall, right next to Araya's face.

"How did you know? Didn't I ever tell you?"

"Remember the first mission? You were drifting in the river while saving the lion cub." Dae-vin explained. Finally, Araya remembered the incident at that time. If at that time Dae-Vin had not come, perhaps his life was now only one.

"Tomorrow the fourth test, are you prepared?" ask Dae-Vin again. Apparently this is what he wanted to talk about.

Araya cast her gaze down while biting her lower lip. If he tells the truth, how will Dae-Vin react?

"How's it?"

The question just made Araya realize that she had been quiet for a few seconds. Suddenly, he opened his mouth despite not saying anything.

His lips became redder because he had just bitten, of course it made Dae-Vin's naughty mind travel everywhere. He wanted to taste it, but he was still self-conscious. It's at the base, and it's lower than Araya. Of course he will be sanctioned if he goes beyond the limit.

"I.. I'm going to practice." Returning bowed, Araya replied slowly. "Read a book."

"could that? Swimming needs practice."

Dae-Vin, why don't you just show your true intentions? You want to help Araya for the fourth test, you start a lot of pleasantries.

"Park Hana." From the end of the hallway, someone called out to Araya in a flat tone, but it could still be heard clearly. Suddenly, the two of them turned their gazes toward the source of the sound.

"You were Park Hana's partner?" Ask Dae-Vin.

"Yes." Yeah." Reply in brief.

After making sure, Adli looked at Araya who was silent. "The second test is about to begin. We have to go into the room" he said on a different topic, at a glance he pulled the corner of his lips up to form a thin smile.

Dae-Vin ignores him, then turns his eyes away. It's obvious that he doesn't like it. Come on, you took a long time to make a decision!

"Alright, Ryusei. I'll go first, see you again." Araya waved her left hand. Dae-Vin just looks at him flatly without replying to anything. However, in his heart he actually shouted encouragingly. Expect nothing bad to happen during the second test.

"I wish I could have a squad with Araya." He murmured quietly almost without a sound. His gaze was still focused on the fourteen-year-old girl.

Those who walk next to each other look increasingly distant, and then disappear when passing through different aisles. Dae-Vin sighed deeply while cursing at himself whose abilities were still below that of the girl.

If that really happened, then he would definitely be with her more often. He was also the one who would walk beside her at this moment.

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

"Uhuk! Uhuk!" Closing her mouth with her palm, Hanny felt that the food that had not long ago entered her stomach would return to the outside. His face was a bit pale, some of his friends were worried about his unusual state.

"I.. I don't-" he's never finished his sentence, his throat's burning because the food just went up. Closing her mouth tightly, Hanny ran to the bathroom a few meters away from the room of the tertiary members.

Ten minutes passed. The door of the room had reopened and featured a fifteen year old girl with her pale face. Watering eyes.

With a weak move, Hanny sat herself in her seat next to Zaaryan. Friends still looked at him worriedly.

"What do you feel Hanny? Does your stomach hurt? Body hot?" Asked a woman with an armband that read 'Lina'. Remember Lina? The members of the European Elementals who had previously also teamed up with Henry. He also became a tertiary squad after the organization merged.

"I'm fine Brother, just limp." Nodding slowly, Hanny replied. Well, even though his stomach feels like it's being pricked and his body isn't energized, he predicted that he'll miss the second test that's due to start soon. But they were a little bit lucky, the tertiary squads were the ones that were always last in the test. Contrary to the primary team that always takes precedence.

"Want to have some warm tea? I'm getting medicine in the health room, right?" This time, Ivany spoke up. She is a member of a tertiary team that hails from the Australian continent.

Hanny did not have time to nod or shake her head, Ivany had immediately walked away from the room. Hanny fell silent as her gaze stared at the door that had closed again.

After that, Hanny looked around. He realized that there were two empty seats. One seat is where Ivany was, and the other..

"Friends! I have two news!" said a man who had just entered the room. His breath hunted like it had been chased by a monster.

The six of his comrades looked at him with questioning gazes. His name is Jeasson. Still remember? He was also Henry's European counterpart. Here, he was the leader of the tertiary squad.

"What's wrong?" Ask one of the members who seems to be in love with Hanny. His name is Brian. He looked at Jeasson with a curious look.

"Well.. Huh.. There are two news. Good news and bad news. The good news is, our exams are all delayed by a few days and threatened with cancellation. Bad news, huh.. Darkness Swordman began to invade the world!" On the sidelines of his gasping breath, Jeasson tried to explain. Suddenly, all the members there looked at him with shocked gazes after hearing the word 'invade'.

For a moment Hanny forgot her pain, her hands clenched at what her chairman said. His breathing was hunting, he now completely forgot the twisting pain he had previously felt in his stomach.

"Darkness Swordman's.. Start invading the world..?" he muttered while looking down, ignoring his colleagues who asked each other to confirm the news.
