Elementalists
Chapter 102 - Blue and Red
Arya and Callista arrive in Elemental City, mentally devastated by Kruel's last act, as the exit from Arya's portal forces the officer to open a way back. But Astral and Alalea who had been waiting for their arrival immediately stopped him.
Both of them tried to calm down so that Arya did not do careless actions, without being able to do anything she was finally forced to give up. People – people actually want to immediately pry information about Arya's solo mission in the land of the demons.
But seeing the condition he is in now makes them all have to be patient and wait, exactly a week after Arya and Callista returned to Elemental City. A letter arrived at the door of Arya's room. Yellowish parchment with red ink.
'It's not that easy to kill me, don't jump to conclusions. Basic child – brash child'
The contents of the letter that seemed strange and ketus warmed Arya's entire body, his legs just squeezed. Slowly he pitched his head to the sky while continuing to give thanks many times – times.
Arya is sure that only the person who made this letter, with rush – heap soon looking for Callista to spread the good news. Although until now, no one knows how the parchment can reach the door of Arya's room.
Arya and Callista's condition improved gradually but surely, finally came the moment where Arya had to report her mission. He explained many things, from the journey over the Flying Dutchman to the Tepes war.
The Examination Supervisors, Elementalists, and Alalea who listened all put on a bad expression every time Arya arrived at the crucial part of the story. No doubt the mission was really crazy –, let alone having to meet with the high-level Demon – Demon.
Once done, Arya was immediately contacted by her friend – friends. They scolded and lectured the Elementalist Chief to the point of making his head feel like breaking. Astral Alalea also did not escape the impact because it had given an unreasonable mission along with hiding the facts about it from them.
“How about he gets to die?!”
“What will his family think?”
“Imagining his body can't come back here makes me—“
“Why do you agree to take this mission!?”
“You should ask our opinion first!”
“Friends – your friends are overdoing it—“
“DIAM!” snapping Lexa, Asuna, Rena, Elizabeth, and Selena together. Arya failed to finish her sentence.
‘Ugh...this is the reason I didn't tell you’ Arya sighed tiredly.

Amid the chaos of – hara due to Arya's crazy mission, there is one thing that turns out beyond estimates. The girls are seen receiving Callista, not to see the slightest waving of the war declaration flag as when Alalea arrived first.
This relates to Callista's past story, Arya conveys in detail the situation of the girl from the background to the problems she faces. It seemed like a sense of empathy was instantly enveloping their hearts.
Since the Elementalists also do not know the parents of each –, of course Callista rice makes everything filled then think what it feels like to have a mother and have to lose himself just like that.
Maybe this is also the reason why Callista was not exposed to the slightest anger from the girls when it was the main reason Arya left alone to the Dark Side. As the sender of S.O.S it is clear that Callista is the main suspect.
There is only one person who looks unhappy with the existence of Callista, namely Alalea. Since seeing Arya first arrive with the girl at the mouth of the portal, the blood inside her body rippled with hatred. Especially because of the fact Callista was the daughter of a Demon who almost took his life.
Still vividly remembered Alalea's thoughts about the Fairy Forest raid back then, the day she got the betrayal of the person she loved most. From there he promised never to forgive the Vampires.
Even when Arya tells him that she has become Blood Servant Callista. Alalea almost out of control, it was clear that she wanted to strangle and tear the Vampire girl to pieces – small pieces. Fortunately Eridan and the bodyguards – Azuldria's bodyguards swiftly detained the princess.
‘Fuck girl....!!! how dare you stick your filthy fangs on my fiancee..’ Inner Alalea while glancing sharply at Callista.
One day Arya called out to Alalea, she came with a curious expression. Because Arya very rarely asks to speak four eyes like this.
“What do you need?”
“Alalea? Can you not bring your hateful feelings for Kris to Callista?”
“Oh....so now you defend it?” Alalea threw away her face while pouting.
After asking Alalea to reflect on it, Arya resigned. The word – words filled the mind of the Elf princess, essentially Arya tried to tell her even though they had the same blood. Callista did not deserve to take on the sin of Chris.
As engrossed in thinking Alalea was involuntarily walking origin then bumped into someone so the two staggered almost to fall.
“Sorry I'm not seng—“
“What's wrong, I'm also wrong because melam—ah?”
The red and blue eyeballs met, Alalea cleaned her clothes before walking casually past Callista. But not five steps he had to stop.
“T..T...Princess Sir!? About the incident in Fairy Forest.I'm sorry for the – large. I know the word – apologies can not bring back the lives of the victims but—“
“Enough, all that has nothing to do with you”
“Mr Princess...”.
“Alalea”
“Eh?”
Alalea turned around and stuck out a hand at Callista, making the girl look so shocked.
“Please stop calling me that, just Alalea just”
“B...b..alright A..A..Alalea, I hope we get along. Please help” Callista welcomed Alalea's hand with a warm smile.
“Eh...you know? Can we both get along quickly? With several terms”
“Hmm....what is it?”
Without aba – aba Alalea pull Callista fast then whisper softly in her ear “Keep your hand away from my fiance. Bye...”
Alalea left Callista who still looked confused, but finally decided to bow in salute to Alalea. Despite her appearance, Callista is still a fifteen year old teenager.
He was the youngest of them all, even Elizabeth who had occupied the position was eventually displaced as well. He did not understand the implied warning of the Elf princess. From that day on, Alalea's attitude softened slightly to Callista, but the two never thought about the possibility that the number of their rivals would still increase.
------><------
“We reached” Arya announced when she and Callista arrived in front of a large white building.
“Why did you take me by bad luck—Agh...!? What is this place exactly?! The smell makes me shudder” protests Callista while covering her nose using both hands.
“We call it Hospital”
“Hah?”
“The bottom line here is where Humans get treatment when in bad condition”
“Then? What's our purpose here? You or I'm not sick”
“Of course to look for other blood that you can consume other than mine, what else?” arya replied casually.
