The Guardian: The Elementalist

Baraq Adaptation

Alex is going to the market to buy some things. Shortly thereafter the pickpocket appeared and took someone's wallet. Quickly respond Alex directly chasing the pickpocket.

Unfortunately the pickpocket was quite shrewd despite having to face someone who had control like Alex. He could not reach the hands of the pickpocket because of his agility.

Soon, several people appeared from different directions. There were those from the roof of the house, small alleys, even someone walking briskly with a cart to head off the pickpocket, as if they had prepared everything for the moment.

Eventually the pickpocket was caught and helpless despite a chance to put up a fight against those people.

"Yes! Apparently you're strong enough to run that far with your big body" one of Alex's greetings. "Who are y'all? Thank you for helping me" Alex said.

"Just relax, it's our job to keep the security in this area. Despite being in groups like this, we are not a bunch of thugs that form an alley, we are elementalists" the man whispered to Alex.

"You elementalists? I can finally meet an elementalist other than myself here!" alex shouted while shaking the man's hand. "Is that so? If you're an elementalist, why haven't I heard anything about you?" ask the guy.

"Yeah, the Guardian invited me to study in America, I didn't stay here long" Alex said. People were also impressed to hear his words.

"Hmm? Guardian Member. It would be great if you joined us! Introduce, my name is Andre, the leader of this group," the person said.

"I'm Alex, nice to meet you" Alex said. "So, are you going to join us? This place is not very safe again until the last two years," said Andre.

"I'd be happy to join, but I don't live here very long, maybe in about two weeks I'll be back in America" Alex said.

"Just calm down, we've been helped enough if you want to join in and fill your last days before you go back there. I think you're tired of being here too" Andre said.

"That's right! So, first.... What are we going to do? Are we gonna catch a thief like that?" ask Alex to be curious.

Andre was astonished because Alex's behavior was more childish than he thought. He is fooled by Alex's appearance which looks like a grown man.

"Isn't there anything you have to do before?" asked Andre while pointing at the groceries that Alex brought. "Oh, that's right! I forgot! I'll go home first!" alex said with enthusiasm, he returned home to give the groceries to his mother.

He returns to the market to meet Andre and his friends. "Hows it? What are we gonna do today?" ask Alex. "You're so excited! You're not working?" ask Andre. "Eh? Be... working?" Alex is confused, he does not understand Andre's intentions.

"Wait on! How old are you now?" ask Andre. "Fifteen years," replied Alex. At once people were surprised to hear his answer. "Whoa! It turns out you're a dozen years younger than us!" Andre.

"Eh? You guys are that old? I don't know... la.. then. What should I call you? I feel uncomfortable just calling by name" Alex said.

"Call me senior. Everything here is your senior" Andre said. He smiled wickedly as if he knew Alex's weakness. From that day on they enslaved Alex to do all sorts of heavy things. It was more like a rough job without the slightest reward.

Even so the innocent Alex did not put the slightest suspicion on them. He did it with pleasure, especially when he was tired of being at home.

A few days have passed, Alesse finds Alex coming home in a shabby shirt. "It looks like all your clothes are broken every time you go home! What's going on?" tanyanya. Alex just scratched his head.

The next day he was surprised to find Baraq sleeping next to him again. "not again! Why do I always show up on my busy days?" his weakness then pushed Baraq's body to the floor.

Baraq immediately moved from the floor. "That's an impolite way to wake someone up!" says annoyed. "I'm sorry if the way I woke you up offended you. You are not the king here" said Alesse. They both looked at each other with a sense of hate.

"Why do I look in the mirror, it's disgusting" Baraq said, then went to the study table. "Well! There's a very interesting new book here!" the thrill while rummaging through the hard-earned book Alesse neatens.

"Hey! That's my place!" Alesse. "Go, I don't want to be disturbed! If you touch my body just a little bit, you will be struck by lightning" Baraq warned.

"All right! Your place is there, I will go down, to a more interesting place! I hope you don't change your mind and bother me there!" alesse said annoyed, he went down into the basement and closed the door hard.

"What the fuck is wrong with that brat? She doesn't know who I am?" Baraq spoke to himself in an annoyed tone. Shortly after, Alex passed through the room. "Hey, you're there! Bring me a glass of water and food! I'm so hungry!" Baraq.

Alex followed without asking. He came with food and drink, and put it beside Baraq's table. "Tumben once you told me to do this, Alesse!" said Alex.

"I'm not your brother, don't get me wrong! I don't remember ever having such a extravagant-faced sister like you" Baraq said. "Be. right, you can't be Alesse. Shouldn't you be thanking me? The way you speak is so rude!" alex said, he was a little upset.

"Argh! Your voice is so noisy! Go away, you interrupt my reading," said Baraq, he forcibly evicted Alex and closed the door.

Just half a day in his seat, he was bored because he had finished the books.

"This body is so troublesome! I feel bored faster here than the subconscious," he said then moved from the chair and pressed the manual lever so that the gate was open.

"Hey, Alesse! Are there no other books?" ask Baraq. "I'm impressed that you were able to open that door even though you tried it for the first time" Alesse said. "I am a fast learner. I want more books!" Baraq.

"It's annoying! Go to this place" said Alesse, throwing a map at Baraq. "If you don't know how to read it, study it on the top shelf, the book. Book three, after that it's up to you to do what, don't bother me anymore" he added.

Finally Baraq went back upstairs and studied it. He was able to grasp the map quickly and immediately went out of the house to get to his destination.

People kept looking at him full of astonishment. Of course due to her very foreign and flashy clothes, let alone the bright color of her hair and eyes.

He came to his destination and it was a library. "Welcome.... eh? The alesse? That's you? We have not seen each other for a long time! But....it seems like a lot of things have changed," said Irawan surprised when he saw the appearance of Baraq.

"You who?" baraq asked with a cold expression made Irawan slumped. "Have you forgotten me so much?" ask Irawan.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm not someone you know. By the way, there are so many books here! Can I stay here?" ask Baraq. His disrespectful way of speaking made Irawan a little upset.

"Aren't you a little? I didn't know you were growing up to be a bad boy! Even to shine your hair and.... are your eyes that you color too? It doesn't look like a soft lens" Irawan said trying to check.

"How dare you try to touch me?" Baraq looked so emotional that the color of his eyes lit up even brighter. He tried to calm down and then went to look for a book, ignoring Irawan who was in shock because he was electrocuted from his body.
