Elementalists
Chapter 05 - The People Who Have Been Destined

I don't know how long he's been down that hole. However, Arya suddenly felt a change in the sides of the wall of the hole, the sides of the wall narrowed and continued to squirt until it was about a few centimeters from Arya's body. And finally he could see it, the faint light from far away, the end of this deep hole.

As soon as he started to get anxious from realizing something very important, what would happen to him if he fell from a height that was somehow deep as if it was passing through the core of the earth? Perhaps, his body would be shattered. Then he tried to slow the rate of fall by touching both sides of the hole using his hands and feet.

Ahhh can't, the rate of fall is too fast. This could cause my hand to burn due to friction with the wall of this hole, Oaaa the end of the hole is getting closer. No. No. Aaahhhhhh. Uh, how is this?

When Arya's body passes through the end of the hole at the speed of an F1 racer, it suddenly slows down for no apparent reason, making itself seem to just fall from the end of the hole, not from the ground above.

"aww. My feet" he said as he finally landed on the ground again.

He fell in a room with a ceiling of 3 meters, he looked up to see the hole he had passed before.

Well, nothing falls from that height, even though it causes my legs to ache.

But it's better than falling from the surface up here. His body could be blown to pieces, even though he did not understand what had happened earlier.

He then began to set his eyes all over the room, the room was a very spacious room, the walls of the room were like made of sophisticated machines, he said, he was able to tell that because he had a glimpse of the wall there were glowing neural-like networks that he used to see in movies with a robot theme.

Then his eyes stopped at one point, many items scattered there like piles of garbage in the city garbage dump, and Arya only realized that she was not alone in the room. Around the pile of things were ten people who looked like they were waiting for something, nine people who were spreading between the piles of goods and one person who was right in the middle of them.

I guess I should go there, right? Aye right? Arya began to step towards those people. When he was quite close he stepped on a tree branch and made the branch break with a loud krakkk sound, actually not loud anyway. But because the silent atmosphere made any sound sound sound like that. As soon as ten pairs of eyes looked at her with different gazes, Arya stopped her steps with a stiff body. He felt like he was doing a speech and everyone was looking at him with a cynical look.

"Hoaamm.

"Cihh, why so long. Waste of time" said the others in an annoyed tone.

"It's important now that everything is gathered, right?" this time it was the voice of a woman who spoke.

"Come, sir" said the man in the middle.

Arya approached back to the place where she could see the faces of all of them, the evaporated man was a boy with silver standing hair he smiled at Arya, the one who spoke in a cynical voice was the boy with long-boned blonde hair who covered one of his eyes while turning his face away from Arya with an annoyed face, then the voice of the woman came from a girl with hair tied dark blue pony-tail she also smiled kindly at Arya. She's so sweet, my God.

And the last one was the one who was in the middle, he was different from the previous three people. He was not a child of Arya's age, he was a grown man with black hair and was neatly combed and had a thin mustache under his nose, the man used a tuxedo set complete with shoes. Very formal clothes Arya thought.

"Welcome sir, please sit down" he said with a smiling bow to Arya.

Without further ado Arya immediately obeyed what the man said and sat down on one of the piles of goods nearby, he wanted to rest his legs that were still painful due to the fall.

"All right, 'cause you're all here. I will start introducing myself, my name is Giovani van Astral. I am the head of your examination supervisor" he said with a grin.

Exam supervisor? Does being an Elementalist have to pass the test?

"Maybe you are wondering what I said earlier, Yap is absolutely right in other words all of you who are here do not deserve to be called an Elementalist"

Those words are pretty painful, really. Even though Arya had just learned her true identity that an Elementalist still heard a stranger she did not know at all say that to her it was painful. Which one for Arya who incidentally was not trained to be an Elementalist by her adoptive family but, how did the other feel?

"What do you mean?" ask the child with bangs that cover one eye with a cynical tone.

"Look, maybe you feel special because you realize that you have the advantages of the people around you all along, maybe you're on the side that I'm smart, I'm strong, I'm great, I am invincible. It's a big mistake, it happens because you mix with ordinary people, but I can make sure the place you are going is very much different. That's where all of you should be and that's where you'll realize how weak and ignorant you are about yourself"

Interesting, such a place is what Arya has been looking for all this time. Not a place where everything would feel easy and without significant obstacles, if this person could take him to such a place arya would be willing to be taken there without complaining in the least.

"Alright I have introduced myself and given you a preliminary picture, I will tell you more when there is time. And now I'm going to pass on whether everything is here" he said, taking out a paper.

Kaya school is absent.

"Zayn Black"

Someone raised a hand, but Arya could not see her face because it was far away.

"Elizabeth Light"

"Hadirrrrrr" came the voice of a girl.

What the fuck with that childish voice.

"Timothy Iron"

"Hi" said the child with silver hair that Arya had met earlier.

"Lexa Brown"

"Here" said a woman with passion

.

"Ali Sand"

Someone raised his hand again without saying anything.

"Selena Wave"

"Hadir" said the sweet daughter with the ponytail hair that Arya had seen before.

"Kevin Storm"

The blond boy with bangs that closed his eyes raised his hand without saying anything, it seemed that Arya did not like it.

"Rena Green"

"H..ha....hadir" said a woman while stammering.

From his voice he seems to be a shy person, Sweet.

"Asuna Blaze"

Instantly Arya immediately looked around the room, in one corner there was a person who raised his hand. Arya squinted at the person, sure enough she was the girl with those red eyes. The flamethrower chick is very well dangerous, murmured arya.

Still with its characteristic is a very cute face. There were murmurs all over the room, it seemed that not only Arya was interested in Asuna.

"The last one, Arya Frost" the Astral Overseer said as she lifted her gaze from the paper she was holding for the first time.

Arya raised her hand and was about to say present, but her words were held in her throat. If she had thought that Asuna stole the most attention from everyone she was wrong, this time all eyes in the room were on her. In fact he felt it not only from the ten people in front of him, but from all corners of the room from the spectators who even he himself had just realized their existence, but from all over the room from the audience, he felt like he was becoming a spectacle material.

"Ehhhh turns out the most awaited person is the one who comes last yaa" said Kevin with a cynical smile"

"Wow.the son of a legend" Timothy chimps with sparkling eyes.

Whahuh? What are they talking about? The son of a legend? Himself? Really? They seem to know more about Aryan parents than Aryan himself.

"Alright it seems like everything is already here, so we can continue our journey, let's all please follow me" the Astral Overseer said without taking her eyes off Arya in the slightest.

Everyone stood up from their seats, the Astral Overseer leading their way towards the door that suddenly opened right behind him. They followed the man without saying anything, after passing through the door they all seemed oblivious to what they saw.

The place was very large and crowded, a lot of people passed by in that place. There was a woman in a witch's hat carrying books in a hurry, scientists trying tools that Arya herself had never seen.

"Welcome to the main research center, this is the actual research center. Not on the surface, the headquarters of the research center on the surface is just a kind of place to take care of the administration" explained the Astral Supervisor to them.

That place was indeed very extraordinary, Arya hoped that she would have more than a pair of eyes so that she could look at everything carefully. Then someone approached him.

"Hi" said Timothy.

"Hi"

"Are we not well acquainted? You can call me Timothy, I am an Iron Elementalist" he said as he stuck out his hand.

"Hi Timothy, you can also call me Arya. I'm an Ice Elementalist" Arya shook Timothy's hand.

"Is that so?"

"Truely, moreover, you are the son of a legend" he said enthusiastically.

"Mmm Timothy, you know I just found out my identity as an Elementalist a few minutes ago. So can you explain everything? I don't understand what you're talking about?"

"Huh? Whatchu mean?"

Arya began to explain to Timothy what happened, starting from about Mr. Hartoso who hid his identity and that he himself did not know who his biological parents, especially his own mother. Timothy was surprised to hear that.

"Mmm I don't understand why your mother doesn't want you to be an Elementalist? And if you're his son, then you have enormous potential. Know it? None of us here doesn't know your mother. Lyan Frost, he is the most talented Elementalist in history, his heroic stories have always been an inspiration to me and maybe others as well while training"

"I don't know, I actually just found out my mother's name from what you said earlier" Arya said.

"Wahh it's a pity that you weren't trained from the beginning by your adoptive family, if my family still trained me to be an Elementalist. Although not too strict, they still consider me as their favorite child"

"Where's your foster family from?"

"Italy" he said relaxed.

"Italy? Really?"

"Yep, by the way have you known the others" Timothy asked, pointing in the other direction.

Being busy hearing Timothy's explanation, Arya only realized that she could finally see the appearance of the other Elementalists.

"I just found out their names. I don't know which one it is"

"I'll tell you what I know, the man with the black hair is Zayn. He didn't tell me where he came from, he was a Dark Elementalist" while pointing at Zayn.

Arya saw it, for some reason it felt like Zayn was a little different. But he doesn't know what's different.

"And that loli that was nearby....."

"What's? A loli?" arya was interested.

"Well loli, you see isn't her body too small for a girl her age? She is Elizabeth, she is from England and she is the Elementalist of Light.

Arya noticed him and sure enough what Timothy said, the girl's body was too small compared to the other four girls. She has long blonde hair.

"Then that one is Rena, you already know Kevin right? Kevin is from the United States he is a Lightning Elementalist, and the shy woman behind Kevin is Rena. Rena is from Greenland and she is a Natural Elementalist"

Oh so Kevin's from America? Arya recalled the nature of George Washington when it was still on the surface, it was fitting that he was not fun, his adoptive family was like that. Then Arya turned her eyes to Rena, who was not happy, She's a woman with short green hair with a bando on her head, she's always facing down. He seems really shy.

"And those guys over there are Ali, Lexa, and Selena, you've met Selena before. She's from Brazil and she's a Water Elementalist"

"Wait a minute, Water Elementalist? The elements of Water and Ice are not the same. So why could there be an Ice Elementalist?" ask Timothy.

"It's true that your elements are the same, but the strength, texture, function, and characteristics of the two elements are very different Aryan, water is liquid and ice is solid".

"Ehh"

"Then the man with the turban was Ali, he was from Saudi Arabia and a Sand Elementalist. While the spirited woman next to Selena is Lexa, she is from Australia. He was a Land Elementalist"

Arya sees them, Selena is a very sweet and calm woman, inversely proportional to Lexa who is very passionate. It can be seen from the way he walks while jumping small, Lexa tied her hair next to his head in contrast to Selena who tied her hair back. And Ali was a man with a rather dark complexion with a turban on his head.

"But I don't know anything about him? He did not answer my question in the slightest" Timothy said as he pointed at Asuna.

"Ehh...What's the matter?"

"She didn't answer my question, baby when she was beautiful. All I know is his name and from the remaining elements he should be a Fire Elementalist"

"He is from Japan" Arya said.

"Do you know much, do you know him?"

"Mmm a little, I can't say I know him anyway"

"Then, where are you from Arya?"

"Australia"

"What's? What'sthat?"

"IN.DO.NE.SIA" spelled Arya on her.

"What is the name of the country? I never heard of it"

"What's? Don't you know about the former largest maritime country in the world?"

"Isn't that Finnish?"

"No! Finland is the former country with the most islands in the world"

"What continent is it on?"

"Asian"

"Asian? Near China, Japan, and Korea?"

"They are East Asia, Indonesia is in Southeast Asia"

"Thai? Singapore?"

"Yes near there"

"Room?"

"That bali is in Indonesia!!!" arya replied while holding her head.

"Ehh really? Hahaha I just found out"

"Hey Timothy, do you know why Asuna or Zayn wouldn't talk to you?"

"No, but maybe because they don't believe me"

"Then, why do you think I believe you?" asked Arya sharply.

"You shake my hand" he replied casually.

Uh, Arya doesn't know how to say it. This person was either too innocent or too stupid.

"We Arrive" said the Astral Watchdog.

They had reached one corner of the place, there were two doors with stairs leading up.

"From now on you will stay here, the left staircase to the female dormitory and the right staircase to the male dormitory. Take it easy all your stuff has arrived in your room safely"

Eh? Whahuh? He's gonna stay here? No kidding! Has the stuff been moved? So this was his intention with his training to become an Elementalist? Will the ten of them be trained under the supervision of the supervisors and have to stay here? So this is why Mr. Hartoso said goodbye. Wretch! he origin spoke that they would soon meet again, even he himself did not know when they would meet again.

While Arya was confused while holding her head, there was someone who patted her on the shoulder from behind. He turned his head and was very surprised by what he saw, there stood a person who he did not expect to be in that place, Si Wibu Damn.

"Ryan?!" his screeches.
