The Guardian: The Elementalist

The man is growing again

Alesse came out of his room. After making sure that it was not raining that day, he stepped outside the house and went to the library Irawan.

Arriving in front of the gate, he found that raindrops began to wet the yard. "What is with the Earth today? Did I take it wrong?" ask Alesse.

"I think it's a sign of global warming! Where we predict the weather is no longer valid, all we do is prevent how it will happen, not predict it" Geni said.

"The longer the earth is worrying, the more" Alesse said, then entered the library.

"Look who's coming! The rude, self-informed boy!" said Irawan while shaking his waist. He did not like the presence of Alesse.

"It's weird, I think this is the first time we've met after all this time, uncle!" Alesse. Irawan was surprised because Alesse spoke politely to her.

"You're this..... Two days ago you came here and broke my mood! A trick this time? How do you get your hair and eyes back to black within a day?" ask Irawan.

"Who are you talking about?" ask Alesse. "Orangish hair and orange eyes.I think what he meant was Baraq" Gord said.

"Oh, that's right. I don't think he's going to get to this place because he doesn't understand how to read the map" Alesse said.

"Who are you talking to?" ask Irawan. "Forget it uncle. I'm sorry to represent the child who came so boldly against you yesterday. He also disturbed me at home so I told him to go here" Alesse said.

"Wait first! You mean that yesterday wasn't you? Is it someone else?" ask Irawan. "I thought your question was answered yesterday. I'm 100% sure he doesn't want to be confused with me, should I bring Alex here to explain it if you don't believe me? I think you're gonna wonder what Alex looks like right now. You'd be surprised, for sure," said Alesse.

"No need, I saw it yesterday. He also said that the brash child was not his brother," said Irawan.

"Why are you asking again? You made me explain it like a fool!" alesse said irritatedly, his hair almost expanding as electric flashes appeared around his head.

"Look! That was what the kid looked like yesterday! It's so similar to you that it makes me confused" Irawan said. Alesse tried to temper his anger.

"Alright, I came here because I wanted to borrow some books," Alesse said then picked some and handed them to Irawan. "This is a basic encyclopedia. Are you sure you want to borrow this? I think there are a lot of other heavy books you want to read" Irawan said.

"It's not for me" said Alesse. "Oh, you mean this is for that haughty kid?" ask Irawan. "Yup! Although I don't know when he will come again" said Alesse.

"Didn't he live in a house with you?" ask Irawan. "I thought Alex explained yesterday! If he said that the child was not his brother, then what was the reason for him to stay in my house? Your logic is getting narrower, uncle! Is it because you're getting older?" ask Alesse.

"It's rude! I'm not even 40 yet!" said Irawan annoyed. "I didn't ask" Alesse said, then took the pile of books.

"Are you sure you're going to bring the book alone? It still rained outside!" Irawan. "Just drizzle, I've even predicted that it's not raining today. I'm sure this will only be short, " said Alesse.

He had not yet stepped out, he was tripped by his own feet. He immediately picked up the scattered books.

"You're not helping me?" ask Alesse to Irawan. He tried to look back to check, what Irawan actually did to ignore it.

It seemed that Irawan was astonished at seeing Aqua who was standing upright behind Alesse. Of course with a pile of books in his hands.

Alesse was surprised, apparently the books scattered on the floor were just his hallucinations. The original book was still in Aqua's hands.

"Hey, Aqua? Aqua! Be aware!" Alesse tried to shake the sculpted Aqua. It was then that smoke began to appear, as if there was a layer of ice melting from Aqua's body.

Glancing around, Aqua did not let out any reaction, she directly dropped the book she was holding after feeling not strong enough to hold it back.

"Hey! I didn't tell you to drop it!" alesse said annoyed, he had to pick up the books back.

"Hey, Alesse! Is this what you mean by someone else? How did he suddenly appear behind you?" asked Irawan, he was still dumbfounded.

"I don't know either! It can't be explained scientifically and I don't like it" Alesse said.

"So, he's the brash kid I met yesterday? Why is he covering his head like that?" ask Irawan.

Alesse tried to reveal Aqua's head covering, as soon as her shiny blue hair unraveled, leaving Irawan stunned.

"I think it's too dangerous to show others. Just so you know, this kid is different from the one you met yesterday, but he's just as annoying. Look, he even ignored me even though I did something," Alesse said, then closing Aqua's head.

"So, Alesse...What are you really?" ask Irawan. "Now don't ask me anything else, you're offending me! I'll go back home, " said Alesse.

It was then that lightning suddenly flashed from outside the window. "Rain!" Aqua started to open her mouth. Even his eyes seemed to light up just from seeing the water droplets behind the window.

"What's wrong? You interested?" ask Alesse. Aqua nodded. "Huh, sorry uncle! I thought I was going to leave her here so you could ask her a lot of questions, it seems like I should bring her home before she makes trouble," Alesse said then pulled Aqua's arm and asked her to bring some books.

"I've thought about this for a long time. I thought your face was very feminine, but as soon as you saw the blue boy, he was clearly a girl! Am I right?" ask Irawan. "No, you're wrong" said Alesse and left with Aqua.

"Aish! This rain will not stop!" alesse was upset. That was when Aqua swung her right hand. The movement looked like it was sweeping away what lay ahead. Just then the water speck stopped falling on the road, as if something was blocking it.

"You can make something like that? It turned out to be quite useful as well as you," said Alesse. Eventually they both got home without worrying about getting wet.

Unfortunately Alesse could not enter along with Aqua. Finally he asked Aqua to wait for him at the window, but the boy did not want to go inside.

"Hey, Aqua! Come inside! Why are you quiet?" ask Alesse grimly. He tried to keep pulling Aqua's arm, but the boy remained unmoved.

A hand appears, helping Alesse pull Aqua's body inside. When Alesse tried to turn his head, apparently it was Yuki. Alesse was surprised because of the mask Yuki was wearing, he was aghast to fall to the floor.

"Why are you here too?" ask Alesse. Yuki looked confused as to what to answer. He just shook his head because he didn't know.

"It's so exhausting! I have to hang on with these two dumb kids?" Alesse is getting upset.

On the other hand, Yuki did not manage to pull Aqua inside, eventually he tried to move his palm. Instantly a vortex of wind appeared, making Aqua's body float through the air. Finally Yuki can make it into the room easily.

"Well! You guys and your control is really amazing! Such an easy way to piss me off! I'm going downstairs now. I don't care if you're hungry or not, please divide the time to go to the kitchen if you want to eat," Alesse said then went to the basement.

Just like Alesse said, Yuki started to feel hungry and her stomach was rumbling. Unfortunately Aqua did not care much, she just stared at the window to enjoy the sound of rain.
