The Guardian: The Elementalist

The alesse? That's you?

Jawara replaces Alesse to go to school. His friends ignored him because Geni gave a good reason for Alesse not returning to his body.

Alesse's friends seemed not to be too concerned about it, they came to him and talked a lot.

Soon Jawara's attention was fixed on the outside window. He was still silent as he stared at something that made his pupils move.

Sandy was astonished by the strange reaction. "What's up, Jawara? You look very serious" said Sandy.

"Someone was watching me from a distance" replied Jawara. "Who? Why are you being watched?" ask Sanay.

"That's Alesse, I don't know why he was watching me, but judging by the neural reactions of his brain and the mimic of his face, he seemed to be ascertaining whether I was Alesse or not" Jawara said.

"What are you talking about? Why is Alesse trying to ascertain whether you are Alesse or not? Isn't that Alesse? He already knows that you're not Alesse! He's the one who told you to go to school, right?" ask Salsha.

"My judgment is never wrong! From what I've seen, the chance of error in this mind reading is below one percent! He didn't seem to hide his purpose in coming here. It's a little strange because Alesse was never outspoken and so open about the motives of his actions, but what I saw today he had so many loopholes that even ordinary people could notice," Jawara.

"What kind of ordinary person could be aware of his existence to that extent?" ask Salsha. "It seems ordinary according to Jawara has a very high standard," Sandy joked.

"But this remains strange! Could it be that you made a mistake with that judgment of yours?" ask Sanay. "No! I've done my assessment a million times and the results remain the same! The Alesse I saw today looked like a plain and innocent teenager, just like you!" jawara said firmly.

"If you think there's something strange about him, maybe we should just go! Where is he?" ask Sandy.

"In a shady tree branch. You must know which tree is meant," said Jawara. As soon as Sandy took a look at him, she could also see a figure standing facing her.

He went out of class running, even ignoring those who continued to look at him with astonished faces. After jumping from the school gate, he immediately jumped onto one of the shady tree branches.

"Is he a monkey? why is he moving like that?" ask Sanay. "Hey! Ma... Where maybe that is the monkey movement!" salsha defended.

On the other hand Sandy was already faced with someone who was watching the class from a distance, unfortunately the boy's gaze looked so unfamiliar.

"Ofless? What's going on?" ask Sandy. "You know me?" ask the boy briefly. "Ofless? You why?" ask Sandy again.

"Don't touch! People like you. I don't know what happens to me if you touch me!"said the boy dodged when Sandy tried to grab his shoulder.

"What's this, Alesse? Do you hate me?" ask Sandy. "That's right! I hate all of you! You and your control" said the boy.

"Why are you suddenly like this, Alesse? What's going on?" ask Sandy. "There's nothing in particular, I'm just wondering. What do you think if your head is off your body? I thought you guys wouldn't be able to control the element that you've been good at!" said the boy grinned widely and took out a knife from under his shirt.

Sandy was completely shocked, she did not expect the boy to suddenly slash his chest. What shocked him even more was that the injuries he caused could not regenerate.

The boy was still grinning widely, he was about to give one more slash in Sandy's throat, but this time Sandy held it back.

"Aless! What's the matter? Why did you become like this? What the hell is going on? Say me!" Sandy.

The boy just shouted, his face looked even more pale than usual. "Don't get too familiar with me. I never knew you anyway, I never knew you all!" said the boy.

Soon Jawara came to a standstill before the boy swung his knife down Sandy's throat.

"Why did this lump of metal interfere? MOVE OVER!" yelled the boy. Unfortunately Jawara's energy is not comparable to him.

After the light disappeared, the child disappeared without a trace. "What's really going on? why did Alesse suddenly act like that?" ask Sandy. "I also lost track of him, it looks like the one he just used was an E.M.P. grenade," Jawara said, eventually they both returned to the classroom.

ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ

The house looked so quiet, Andin was going shopping while Hendra was still busy mowing the weeds in the garden.

At first he wanted to ask Gord to help him trim the wild plants, unfortunately Alesse's body had already been taken over by Aqua and was now busy staring at the window of the room.

While picking at the grass with the large scissors, Hendra felt his strength was very lacking, he could not prune a hard twig. Finally, he took off his shirt and took a deep breath.

As soon as his body was overgrown with patterned feathers, he changed to resemble a tiger and began to continue his activities.

A few minutes had passed, he was startled by a child who appeared to be standing behind the door. Seeing the clothes the boy was wearing, Hendra immediately stopped his work.

"Ofless? That you? You really are Alesse, right? Not the others?" asked Hendra, he did not have time to hide his large body because he was still surprised. There were so many things he wanted to say to the boy that he didn't care about himself.

Instead of getting a warm welcome, Hendra was confused and did not understand. The boy suddenly swung a knife at him, making a cut on his cheek.

Still silent and trying to understand, Hendra also realized that the wound on his face was not immediately healed. "A.... The alesse? Why these? Why did you suddenly hurt me?" asked Hendra, he did not expect the boy to hurt him without hesitation.

"Close your mouth! After all this false life. The only thing I want to do is kill you all! I want to kill everyone in this world!" yelled the boy.

In the end after all this he did to Alesse, Hendra became so resigned. He did not even try to be wary of the child, as if letting him hurt him.

"There must be a lot of things you hate about me, Alesse. Maybe because it's keeping this a secret and some other cruel things. Then vent your anger, but do not do something like this to others. You can just do it to me. I know all my mistakes, it seems like I did fail to become a father" said Hendra resigned.

The boy was about to swing his knife back, but this time he tried to point it at Hendra's throat.

Hendra knew that the attack was deadly for him, let alone that his regeneration ability did not work after being slashed by the knife. Finally he tried to close his eyes. "Alesse, I'm sorry, father" she said with a smile despite feeling sad.

Not until the knife touched Hendra's throat did something manage to hold him back quickly. Hendra wondered why the knife would not hurt him. When he opened his eyes, he was surprised when he saw Baraq trying to block the knife held by the boy with his lightning rod.

"Finally the real one appears! It must be weird, right, are we meeting face to face like this? By the way your clothes are so tacky! What time do you think this is?" ask the boy while smiling.

"Shut up! If you want to kill him, step over my body first!" Baraq. He also pressed the button on his lightning rod, making an electric shock appear and flow into the knife that the child was holding.

The boy immediately released his knife. "Curtain! Just watch out for you! I'll come back no matter what!" said the boy then slammed something onto the ground. A blinding light suddenly appeared, leaving Baraq and Hendra unable to see. Eventually the boy disappeared somewhere.

Instead of feeling relieved, Hendra looked so moody. "My treatment of him must have been so cruel that he wanted to kill someone without hesitation. I hope he only dares to do that to me. It seems you're right, what I've been doing to him all this time is very cruel" Hendra said.

"What are you talking about? Why didn't you just dodge? He could have killed you! Are you stupid?" ask Baraq.

"I don't mind if Alesse kills me, I deserve that" Hendra said. "He's not Alesse" Baraq said briefly. "Ti..it's impossible! It must be him! He is Alesse! I can't be wrong!" Hendra.

"Stupid! Who do you think we're using this body of who? Don't think about feeling relieved! The whereabouts of your son is still unknown, perhaps he will disappear forever, although there is a small chance he will return with his thin soul. So, if you feel you deserve to be killed by Alesse, don't die silly like this. I saved you not for siding with you, at least you have to make amends after Alesse returns or you can live a miserable life forever while thinking about your son's uncertain whereabouts" Baraq said with a cold expression, he turned back to go back to the room.

"Tu... wait! If that wasn't Alesse, then who was?" ask Hendra. "Of course, he's definitely not Alesse. The Alesse I knew wouldn't do that, he knew a more cunning act to kill you, he wouldn't give his reason to kill you. He might let you die with a question mark" Baraq said, then returned home.
