The Repeaters

12. Elements and Where

Leonardo awoke from his stupor, as before he was now in Razor's inn and was lying weakly on the bed. The clothes he was wearing had been removed by Razor because it was wet with water. The upper body part is now covered by a bandage, while the lower body still wears pants. Leonardo's mind is a little calmer now.

He gradually lifted his wounded body, his body leaned towards the corner of the mattress. He looked at the wall and remembered his dream as well as the events of yesterday. After his defeat by Razor, Leonardo realized that he was still weak.

'If I hadn't stopped Razor I would be dead by now. Run against Edward, my current ability is not even enough to fight Rukh who appeared a few days ago. Thanks to Razor, because of her I've come to realize how weak I am..' That's what's going through his mind right now. Leonardo realized how stupid he was last night. Leonardo thinks he is still very weak. In order to stop the civil war that was in the dream, he needed strength, but did not know how to achieve that power.

Clack up!

With the door open, Razor stands near the entrance and carries bandages and medicine using both arms, planning to replace Leonardo's bandages with new ones. But he paused that intention because he felt awkward. Remembering last night the two of them had a fight. He was also worried that Leonardo might rebel again. For that reason he was reluctant to step up and choose to remain silent while observing Leonardo's movements, and he was ready to stop him from doing anything stupid, but as long as Razor waited Leonardo just remained silent and stared at the wall blankly.

Razor walked towards him, she felt that Leonardo had become calmer. He sat on one of the chairs near the mattress and placed a box containing bandages under his feet. He looked at Leonardo casually.

As if unaware of Razor's existence. Leonardo was still staring at the wall, with his eyes blank he was still twisting the memory of his dream yesterday. How hard it takes to get rid of that memory remains free. That memory will continue to linger in his brain. As if to signal that he must do something immediately, or he will regret.

His head was getting dizzy, it felt like he wanted to explode. He held his head using both of his arms to alleviate the pain he was receiving. He even screamed in pain and rebelled a little.

Razor grew worried when she saw him, and she decided to open her mouth. "Leonardo! Are you all right?"

Leonardo's white eyes were wide open. After Razor made a sound, the memory finally faded, but her head still hurt a little, her heart did not want to stop beating. He breathed and became calmer.

"I-I'm fine." Leonardo's breathing has become normal.

Razor smiled with relief when she saw that her friend and idol had calmed down.

"Then I'll replace your bandage okay." Razor began removing bandages that already looked dirty and had emitted an unpleasant odor.

Dirty, blood-filled bandages will be replaced with new ones. Razor is currently applying the medicine to the bandage and putting it again on Leonardo's stomach and body full of wounds. Leonardo only fell silent as he fitted the bandage.

'When his body was covered in wounds like this, but it was great that he was able to dodge my swift attack. And also he can hurt my cheek even if it's just a small scratch. If at that time he was in prime condition maybe the one lying down right now is me. He had also forgotten his memories, yet he fought so fiercely.. Top three is awesome. If he remembered how to use the element, he must be very strong.' Thought Razor when putting bandages on Leonardo's body. Razor did not believe that this man could move that agile even though his body was injured. He is increasingly idolizing the person he is treating.

Leonardo just realized something was lacking in his body. He glanced at his neck and realized that the scarf he used to wear was not there.

"Where is my scarf?!" Leonardo's voice sounded panicked. He doesn't want anything to happen to his scarf. Although he did not have a single memory with a scarf, but he was very confident that the item was important to him.

Razor's hand pointed towards the table that was close to the two of them. The table is located in the right corner of the room. "Just calm down, I put it there."

"Huh, I'm relieved." Breathing out of Leonardo's mouth, he was so grateful nothing happened to his scarf.

Seeing Leonardo who always wears a brown scarf wherever he is making Razor interested, he always wondered, actually what is with the scarf.

"Actually I don't remember much about the scarf, but when I put it on it it feels warm for sure it's a gift from someone very important to me that I don't want anything to happen with this scarf." Leonardo answered what Razor had in mind.

Razor finally knew the reason why the scarf was so important, but still someone who gave the scarf could not lose his mind he was more interested.

But he tried to forget the attraction and put a bandage on Leonardo's body again. The activity continued without any communication, and was eventually completed.

Razor heaved a sigh of relief, she wiped away the sweat that fell on her face.

"Yesterday, why did you let out a bolt of lightning at your feet.. And once you put your eye lens on, it's moving faster, actually, what happened back then." Leonardo had thought about it from earlier, but he never found the answer, so he decided to ask in person.

Razor opened her eyes wide, she was glad Leonardo was finally interested in it. He was pounding imagining that from now on he would train someone he idolized.

"If in this world there is a thing called Rukh. There is also a thing called magic. The element is one of the powers of magic. The elements themselves are of several types, ranging from fire, water, ice, wind, earth, lightning, and darkness. Actually magic doesn't just bring out elements, there's still a lot to do with magic, but I can't really explain because I'm not the specialty.." Razor explained at length, as if she was a teacher now.

Leonardo nodded his head as a sign that he was paying attention and understanding what his friend was saying.

'Magic huh? Not just Rukh, but a lot of unexpected things that I forgot.' Leonardo thought after hearing Razor's explanation.

"When we talk about elements. What do I usually use first?"

"You used to be a user of the Ice Element. As for me as you know I use lightning and earth."

"Can we have more than one element?"

"And about the power of the lens yesterday. It was Rukhku's own power, his strength was reading the movements and speeding up the user's movements. Rukh has its own uniqueness and strength, the form of Rukh also varies not stop in human form only, there is Rukh in the form of weapons and goods."

Leonardo's eyes were a little more serious he looked at Razor and clasped his hands. He had already decided to learn to use the elements and many more things to Razor.

"How do I learn the Elements, please teach me!"

A smile on Razor's face. Finally the time he was waiting for came. He'll train someone he admires.

"alright. Get your clothes on and we'll go...." Razor threw the jacket that Leonardo used to wear.

Without waiting for a long time Leonardo put on the jacket and stood up from his bed, he looked seriously at Razor as a sign that he was ready. Razor once again smiled as she stood up from her seat.

"Just follow me..." Razor walked towards the wall. He put his arm against the wall, he closed his eyes and focused on casting spells.

Leonardo was silent as to what was about to happen.. After a while the previously flat wall shifted to the right and displayed a staircase that led downwards. Leonardo wondered in his mind, he wanted to know what was happening.

It was as if he knew what Leonardo was thinking. Razor answered the questions that were attached to her brain. "This is my earth magic, can create the room as I like.. Well, although I actually feel guilty about the owner of this inn, but I used this power to create two places. One of the earthen rooms you've been in and the second is this. This place I made specially for training.. Let's go downstairs!" After he finished explaining Razor down the stairs, he walked casually followed by Leonardo behind him.

After arriving at the stairs at the bottom, the atmosphere looks very spacious. Wall candles circled all the rooms, even though this place was quiet with no items, but this area was perfect for a place to practice. The room is not stuffy even though it is underground, but this room has enough air.

Razor was walking in the middle of the room, while Leonardo was still standing near the stairs, he was still watching the room.

"Leonardo, stop looking around and come here!" Razor waved, telling Leonardo to get to where he was.

Leonardo nodded his head and walked towards the center of the room.

"So what should I do? How to use elements? And what about the great sword technique? And .."

"OK, okay, Stop! Ask one of them."

Razor took a breath and began to explain in as simple a language as possible.

"So how to use the element is with Bomm, wamm... Cress.. So that's how we use magic." Razor placed both of her hands against her chest, posing arrogantly.

"??"

'Don't tell me he's not good at teaching' Leonardo thought. It's only natural who would understand such an explanation.

"You don't understand? It's sad, well I'll explain once again how it is Blomm.. Then scream your mainstay.. Like rasenggan, chidori, or getsu ga tensh-"

The blow drifted onto Razor's cheek making his cheek go bump, the perpetrator of the exchange was none other than Leonardo. He's been made emotional by Razor's insane way of teaching. "Stop joking and get serious!"

"But that senior I know best." Razor stared at Leonardo with a face made as if sad, she also held her broken cheek.

Leonardo's emotions have exploded. He took out his sword and drew out the sword. "Don't call me senior I'm free lo." The aura of killing Leonardo out scared Razor.

"Okay, okay, I get it. Put the sword back in the sheath!" Razor shouts while protecting her body. He's scared if he's cut down by Leonardo.

The man returned the sword to its original place and looked towards Razor with a serious look, this time he hoped to get a satisfactory answer. Not wanting to let down his idol Razor started to get serious again, the situation is now becoming more severe.

"Well first I will explain the basic principle of magic.. In the human body has a flow commonly called mana. We gather mana at one point and give the command where it is, imagine something that fits your element. Since Senior's related element is ice then imagine ice! Gather all the mana at one point and whisper in the heart. Give the order where it is to form what you want." This time Razor explained in seriousness, the laughter had stopped.

"So that sounds a little simple?"

"Theoretically it's simple, but for practice no, we Erasers shouldn't have to use magic, just use Rukh, but if magic is augmented with Rukh users then there will be an extraordinary power."

"And I'll add one thing. Giving orders to whichever is the same you should understand yourself at the very bottom... Somewhat difficult to explain, but where itself can also be said to be part of the user himself, therefore Eraser. The negative side of human users is perfectly suited to using magic."

"Understanding yourself in the deepest part? So where does it look like Rukh? So where is one part of the user's own side?" Leonardo asked a question that confused him, he felt strange about that principle. Both Rukh and mana look to have ties with each other.

"It can be said that way... Well the conversation gets here, let's start training!"
