Elementalists
Chapter 60 - New Problems

Arya is awakened by the sound of a knock on the door of the room the next morning, when she opens the door with her life still uncollected. Good morning remarks from Selena immediately greeted him, after asking for time to prepare. Both also leave.

"What exactly do you want to talk about?" Arya walked by considering it was still five in the morning.

"Mmm..because this is important, I think we better get together first" he said.

They walk in silence, a while later Arya finally realizes where they are headed. Astral Supervisory Classroom, Selena opened the door and allowed him to enter first.

Friends - friends of other Elementalists have gathered at the place, with a flat expression – still sleepy. The eight pairs of eyes were staring at the two newcomers.

"What am I expecting?" arya's weak mind could not deny that she was a little disappointed, she thought Selena wanted to talk about something important just alone.

Selena immediately took a position in the middle of the room and threw a glance at the others. The girl clapped her hands asking for everyone's attention.

"All right, let's start"

Hearing the word – words, Lexa and Elizabeth immediately rise while pulling Ali also to catch up with Selena. The two cruel girls dragged the poor man who shook his head as if to say I don't think this is a good idea.

"What the hell is it?" Arya did not think about the attitude of her four friends.

"I want to know too" Kevin added.

"Hoamm.I want to go back to sleep" murmured Timonty tired.

The others were getting closer to the center of the room, Asuna and Rena were participating there. It seemed that only the two of them were female Elementalists who had no idea of this incident.

"Eee...it's a little complicated, how should I start?" Selena is confused.

"I'm the same" Lexa said as she tilted her lips.

"Agh...you two are melting once, Ali it's your turn!" Elizabeth patted Ali on the back hard.

Ali scratched – scratched his head for a while before starting to slowly move his hands. Details – grains of sand began to gather in front of them, hovering to form a writing that was intended for everyone.

"Hello everyone, maybe this is the first time I've greeted you"

"Eh?" after reading the sand script, the six people were confused there and looked directly at Ali's face.

He smiled warmly in response to their response, but it added another level of confusion.

"Origin? Why don't you talk directly?" Timothy asked the question.

"Ck! Stupid iron scraps! Isn't it obvious? Because she can't talk" Elizabeth said.

"Well?!"

That fact seemed to hit their faces hard, it was true after thinking – think again. From the first day the Elementalists gathered, no one had ever heard Ali speak a word from his mouth.

Arya as the Elementalist Chairman of this generation felt bad, she should pay more attention to her fellow – colleagues.

"Ali...what is this...."

"Not a birth defect, at first she can also speak just like us" Lexa replied before Arya finished her words.

"Then? Since when?" Zayn frowned.

"That's what I want to tell you, Ali lost her speaking ability because....." Selena looks doubtful.

"What?! Just say it!" asuna's teeth gritted impatiently.

"Because I am an Artificial Elementalist" the new sand writing answered their question.

------<<>>------

"What does that mean." Timothy's eyes widened.

Next Selena, Lexa, and Elizabeth took turns explaining to them all about the Artificial Elementalist. All the information belonging to the three of them came directly from Ali, they knew this very thing doing the test together.

In conducting the Elementalist Examination, communication is very important. It also caused Ali to tell all three of them, too, Artificial Elementalist also known as Artificial Elementalist is the designation for – people who got the power of the element not through blood or heredity relationship.

This power was obtained through an early study of inhumane weight, with success rates below one percent. This is due to the difficulty of finding the level of compatibility of a person against forces beyond reason.

Also, if this research is successful. Then there would be side effects, such as Ali losing the ability to speak, Selena as the person who knew this first had intended to tell everything from the First Elementalist Exam.

But Ali asks him to keep his mouth shut, the same as Lexa and Elizabeth. He did not want to make the others worried, but finally these three girls decided to speak bright – light. If not, this problem will never be solved.

"What...it can really be done? Making the Elementalist" Rena whispered to herself.

"Of course, I wish this was just a dream" Selena rolled her hair on her fingers.

"It's not mean to be rude, but maybe you realize we're always in the last position when a bunch of them"

"Elizabeth is kinda—"

"Shut up! I just want to convey my thoughts, the point is that the power of the Artificial Elementalist is arguably still below the True Elementalist" Elizabeth snorted angrily towards Selena.

"What about your attributes?" ask Kevin slowly.

"It seems that Ali's three attributes were prepared before our exams started, because I was just looking for my Elemental Weapon material" Lexa replied calmly.

"What money? I mean, you know, when it started" sympathy was obvious from Zayn's eyes.

Ali tried to remember for a while before showing his five fingers, just immediately the air temperature of the room dropped dramatically. Arya's body was extremely swift emitting high-pressure Agnet, making the other Elementalists gulp.

"You all come with me, we will face the Supervisor" Arya said coldly as she turned towards the exit.

Asuna moved quickly catching one of her wrists "Wait Arya, what do you want—"

"Depends on the answer, if it's not satisfactory. I'll make a calculation with them"

------<<>>------

Arya broke through the Exam Supervisor's special room by herself, followed by the other Elementalist behind her. Astral greeted them while sitting casually on one of the tables.

"Supervisor, can you explain to me about the Artificial Elementalist Research?"

Nine other figures appeared around them, the Ten Examiners had gathered.

"Mr Arya, this is...—" Varuq tried to calm down.

"No need to beat around the bush, you just have to answer"

Mandalika appears in the right hand of Arya along with Efbi in the form of an adult wolf. He growled ferociously around Arya's body as if protecting her. The attitude of the Exam Supervisor instantly turned alert, but Astral immediately raised his hand to stop everything.

"Enough, thinking about it now is the time. I'll explain everything to you guys"

Arya nodded before asking Mandalika and Efbi back, Astral started to take a deep breath in –.

"Some of you may realize that sand is not a primary element, and that is true. The tenth elementalist should not be sand, but wind"

"Windy?" resetting them.

"Yeah, but because of something unwanted. The previous generation Wind Elementalist died before having a descendant, that woman was named Fengyi Vortex. This caused the Wind Elementalist bloodline, to be cut off"

------<<>>------

Everyone heard the Astral explanation without commenting in the least, the Artificial Elementalist was shown to maintain a shaky balance due to the loss of one supporting pillar. The Wind Elementalist.

"Did my mother approve of this research?" Arya looked at the Overseers coldly.

They nodded without daring to look back. Fear Arya could explode at any time.

"Artificial Elementalist research is not allowed to be done in the past Elementalits" Astral replied slowly.

"In that case, why did it get like this?"

"The demand for research has been rife since twelve years ago, but it is becoming more and more about two years later"

"That means ten years ago yeah.." said Timothy stroked his chin.

"Wait a minute, it looks like something important happened ten years ago. But I can't remember, Arya did you—"

Asuna did not manage to solve her question, hearing Astral's words Arya's face turned dark. His eyes widened and his body began to tremble violently, he then clenched his hands so tightly that they spewed blood.

"This must have been....Reign.....Supervisor, tomorrow I would like to meet with the person in charge of this research and also the King of Saudi Arabia. Ali, you're coming too" Arya growled before turning around to leave the location.

"Wait, take us with you" Zayn held Arya captive.

"As far as you are"

"Asuna? Have you ever seen a Captain like that before?" Kevin whispers.

Asuna shook her head then replied quietly "Not yet, this is also the first time I've seen her not being able to control herself"

"Gios? What do we do?" ask Bianchi lirih.

"Well how else? Take care of the meeting, tomorrow Ben and I will accompany them"

------<<>>------

"Your Majesty? Why?"

Arya asked for an explanation to the old man before her, why she could give the first child who was five years old as research material. His own flesh.

"A lot of people ask the same question, I didn't expect to get a chance to answer the question of the current Elementalist Chief" the King said softly.

"I want to hear your answer"

Faisal bin Saud was a highly respected man, in addition to being king. Softness and polite speech make people reluctant to him, you could say Arya also includes his admirers. Ali sat next to his father with a calm smile.

King Faisal told them that it was not an easy decision, he did not even greet each other with his wife long enough due to the incident. But sometimes, sacrifices need to be made.

"I also did not carelessly submit Ali for research, after seeing its development until the age of five years. I know he deserves it"

"But have you ever thought about his feelings? Losing the ability to talk for things like—"

Ali stopped Arya, sand writing floating in their midst.

"Captain, I never regretted it. Because if I do not become an Artificial Elementalist, then I will not be able to meet you guys. Best friends – best friends ever"

As the atmosphere shrouded the room after reading the sand script, Timothy immediately approached to hug Ali. Followed by others, Aryapun so softened. They say goodbye a few minutes later. Before leaving, King Faisal summoned Arya once more.

"You also know that God is All-Seeing and All-Hearing, this is for the good of many"

"You're right, but sometimes as a servant. We don't know which is the best choice, so isn't it worth fighting for what's most valuable to yourself?"

Arya gave a final salute before leaving King Faisal, the old man smiled as he stroked his beard. Feeling funny because the young man was able to return what he was trying to say.

------<<>>------

They entered the Government Center Building with agile steps, arriving there. A long white haired male – welcomes them. Arya has started to return to her former nature after meeting King Faisal. So the others start to feel calm and think nothing will happen.

"So...., are you in charge of this research?"

"True, I—"

He failed to finish his sentence because Arya moved quickly to call Mandalika and immediately did a stab. Astral and Liquite responded to hold the prick using their hands.

But as a result of the strong push, they retreated until they hit the wall. Mandalika stuck to the temple only a few inches from the man, if the two Exam Supervisors did not deflect the attack earlier. Arya had to tear her throat.

"I should have known since I first met you" Arya sighed coldly.

"Mr Arya this—"

The two had met, Sioul van Laag. Arya would never forget, the one who made her entire body shudder as she shook hands before the Third Elementalist Trial.

The commotion that occurred made the Government Center Building uproar. The Mayor of Stickman arrived with a deathly pale face.

"What is ter—"

"Good for you to come Mayor, I don't have to bother looking for you, I will destroy the laboratory along with all the data regarding your Artificial Elementalist"

"What?! You can't be as good as—"

"Do, what other dirty thing you want to hide from us" Asuna pointed Amaterasu right at Stickman's face.

"Miss Asuna can we—Good – alright! you heard their request! Quickly carry it out" snapped Stickman anxiously as the tip of the rapier began to touch his skin.

"Mr Arya, I think all this is enough" Astral said.

"Bring him here"

Without waiting for long, Zayn and Kevin bring the Mayor before Arya. He placed the annoying man next to Souil and planted Mandalika right in their midst.

"I remind you once again, we are not guinea pigs. Stop playing – play with the lives of the crowd just for the sake of your greed" Arya's threatening tone sounds so terrible that it makes the Mayor urinate – pee.

Souil immediately apologized with a calm face, while Stickman trembled in fear beside him.

"Our master ha—"

"Just fighting for the good of many? It's bullshit! Then why are you hiding it from us? That's because you know this is wrong from the beginning" Arya cut.

An officer came to report that all the data had been collected, Arya reminded that there was still data left. They will know the consequences, the officer delivered to the front of a large special building.

"Need help?" bargain Lexa.

Arya shook her head and asked to do it herself, inside Arya read some experimental data. His emotions are increasingly peaking because they see the number of victims who have died in vain – due to this inhumane research.

It turned out that everything regarding the Wind Elementalist had been wiped out, this was the reason he had never obtained the slightest bit of information about it. They did their research using the DNA of previous Elementalists.

Arya began to hit the floor with her hands, the strength of the arm swing increasing every time she sent out punch after punch. Tears wet his cheeks.

"DAMN! FUCKIN' SHIT! FUCKIN' SHIT! SHIT!!!...."

"Hey son? I'll help erase that disappointment if you lend me your body, how?" hoarse voice ringing in his head.

"WHISPER! GET OUT OF MY HEAD!"

"Heh..boring"

"Sir, please calm down"

"Dad, wake up"

"Mandalics? The efbi? Did we make the wrong decision to protect the Human race?"

One final blow knocked down the entire building, calling Efbi and Mandalika to stop. He freezes everything around and destroys it.

On exiting, everyone ran towards him while putting on an anxious look.

"Aryans! Your hand?!" selena's eyes widened.

Both of his hands had been crushed, his skin was peeled off and was spitting out a lot of blood. They could even catch a glimpse of something white that could be confirmed to be bone.

"Come fast! We need to get him to Allucia" Kevin was quick to help.

Arya's face was blank expressionless, she did not take out a word from her mouth. Far away Astral and Liquite were watching closely.

"Crazy, did you see that Gio? He destroyed the place with just his bare hands, without Agnet" Liquite whistled in admiration.

"He hurt himself"

"I can't imagine what he would do if he knew, there's still another Artificial Elementalist out there"

"Not yet, Ben, I need you to contact Dragon Island"

"Dragon Island?"

"Yes, let me know that the Fourth Elementalist Exam is about to begin. Their turn had arrived" Astral did not spare the sight of the Elementalists who were getting further away.

------<<>>------

Elsewhere, in a shopping mall. Seen a girl is choosing – choose clothes, she is so enjoying her activities. While passing through one of the mirrors, he stopped.

The girl looked at her reflection seriously, her hand stroking the mirror quietly with a big smile. Flashes of light appeared all over adorning her pink pupils.

"When we meet stay a little while longer, wait for me. Onii-chan"
