Elementalists
Chapter 07 - Training Begins!!!

Arya lay in bed staring at the ceiling of her new room, her head full of thought about the events that occurred during her first month in the Penilitian Center. His forehead shriveled as he recalled the annoying memories he had, he still remembered all those events as if they had all happened yesterday.

The first day Arya was awakened to the sound of a knock on her bedroom door, the knock was apparently from a female servant assigned to call the Elementalists for breakfast in the Penilitian Center cafeteria. The place was so incredible, those were the only words Arya could say to describe the place.

In the canteen there are ten long tables lined up neatly and also the maids who passed by served food, from what Arya heard (from Timothy) they always change their menu every day and every meal. So that people will not get bored, this is why everyone in the Research Center will always look for food in this place and most importantly, everything is free.

After finishing his sarapanya (a bowl of chicken porridge and a glass of warm coffee) Arya and the other Elementalists were handed a piece of paper containing their training schedule in a full week without a single day's holiday and torture it starting from that day at 10 a.m. And the first training they got was the training of the Leader of the 10 Exam Supervisors, Supervisor Giovanni Van Astral.

Of course because of this very busy schedule they all rushed so as not to be late on the first day they got training, he said, Arya is of course very deftly getting ready to head to the training ground because she is very interested in what Ryan has said before. Something that would not bore him would he really meet in this place.

He who was ready to set out for training (just carrying a small notebook) came out of the room and became the first to depart from the male dormitory. Just as he reached the bottom of the stairs he was approached by Timothy, had he known that this meeting would bring misfortune he would not have set out with the warrior.

They walked to the training room with the usual (the room was already recorded on the schedule), he said, unfortunately, when it was almost to the class, the silver-haired bastard had a stomachache in other words, had to take care of more important business first (BAB). Because the bastard kept pleading while saying "you want the practice room to be full of smells that make Rome's feathers stand? You want to huh??!!" arya had to take her to the toilet.

And it turns out there is no toilet around and this causes them to run around to find the toilet as soon as possible, Arya actually does not need to run around like this, who wants BAB instead of him. But he also didn't want to be the first to smell a scent that would make a carcass just as fragrant as a jasmine.

When they finally find the toilet and the jerk is done with the important business Arya just realized that they are lost, he forgot that the Research Center was so vast it could be said that the Research Center was an underground version of Elemental City. This place was too vast, how could they find the room again? What the fuck is this place? Just going to poop can get lost? How do people survive in a place like this?.

In the end, the two of them ran back to rediscover the training room, trying at all costs to find the place again. They ask everyone they meet and of course they always show them the way but the problem is that the direction that people show is always different from each person, every person, this makes Arya and Timothy very upset, although in the end they reach the corridor where the room is located.

"It's all your fault! We're 30 minutes late just because you want to go to the toilet?!" arya shouted at Timothy while running.

"Hey if you were in my position you would do the same" Timothy replied.

"But I won't trouble anyone else like you did, why don't you pee before you leave, you idiot!"

"That water cannot be forced! Where do I know I'm gonna be hanging out near the practice room"

"If it can't be imposed, it's on hold, you son of a bitch!"

"That's not as easy as you say!"

The two of them reached the front door of the training room while panting and sweating, Arya knocked and without waiting for an answer opened the door. Soon they were greeted by 9 pairs of eyes that looked at them as if asking for an explanation.

"Wah-wah looks like you're late on your first day" the Astral Watchdog said with a piercing look.

Then Arya and Timothy explained why they could be late and they dared to swear that they were both the ones who should have come the earliest, after hearing that explanation the Astral Overseer was bothering a little.

"But I think it's still your fault, can't you get to class first and ask me for permission before going to the toilet? That way you can go back to class at any time and you can know ONE IMPORTANT THING, that this training room has a toilet inside" Astral Watch said as she pointed at the door behind it.

Soon Arya fell silent, right? Why didn't he think about getting there. He cursed himself for his recklessness and also at the person nearby, an Elementalist who could not control his own stomach. How can controlling the Element while controlling the stomach alone cannot.

"Geez, this is all your fault because of the rush" Arya whispered to Timothy.

"Be quiet" Timothy whispered.

"But since this is your first day then this incident will I forgive, but next time there will be no tolerance anymore" Astral Watchers said to the two of them.

They bowed and thanked the Supervisor and walked to the seat.

"Wait a minute" hold Astral Watch.

The two of them turned around again and threw each other a questioning look.

"Who said you could sit down? Wouldn't it be unfair to give you two a seat while the others try not to be late?"

"RIGHT ONCE!" sahut Elizabeth the spirit.

Arya turned to the little girl. The eyes of the naughty girl returned his gaze with an evil smile, she likes to see people in distress huh?

"You can sit down if you can answer my question correctly"

They both agreed to this.

"Mr Timothy what would you do if your enemy attacked with a 5% blow to your head?"

Arya gawking, what? Did he not hear wrong? The percent? The numbers? Was that a normal question? The numbers? Assaulting? Whatdoes thatmean? Soon Arya turned to Timothy, but it turned out that the jerk who made her late even looked mediocre and easily answered.

"Mmm I'll use 7% of my power on the left hand and defend from his attack so that he will bounce off, then I take advantage of that opportunity to strike him back with my right hand with 10% strength%"

"An interesting answer, please sit down" the Astral Watchdog said with a smile.

He lowered his head and walked towards the table while waving Arya, Arya could only remain silent and not return the wave. Then the Astral Supervisor read the next question to Arya, when he finished reading the question he turned to Arya. Arya just fell silent, she kept like that for 5 minutes. No words came out of his mouth, then in the end.

"Mmm forgive me Astral Supervisor, isn't it too soon to give you a mathematical quiz" he replied.

Soon everyone in the room laughed at her reply, even the cold-looking Asuna painstakingly held back the laughter that was about to come out of her mouth. Zayn and Selena turned their faces away while holding back their laughter, the rest laughed loudly. And what pisses him off even more is that toilet-mastard bastard Timothy is also laughing out loud. The Astral Supervisor only kept silent, when the atmosphere had started to calm down he finally spoke up.

"I'm sorry Mr. Arya, I shouldn't have asked you that. That question is too soon for you"

Then the man let Arya sit, as he walked towards the seat he heard the words that insinuated himself but he did not care. Unfortunately, their seats were arranged. And he had to sit with the person he least wanted to be at that moment.

"Hufft hai late master who has not learned mathematics" Asuna chanted.

He did not respond to those words. He was so upset, he was sure his ears and face were already red from enduring the anger and embarrassment. He was willing to bet if only he were a Fire Elementalist his ears would have let out smoke and his hair had already flared up so bitterly.

Astral Supervisors train or arguably teach General Knowledge (of course General Knowledge for Elementalists) and never equate General Knowledge that you know with that which Astral Supervisors teach is very different. Unfortunately, other exercises are just as difficult.

Herbology, this training (can also be called a lesson) discusses about plants, plants, what turns out Arya only knew that the plants she knew were only a small part that she had heard or had seen directly.

"Because the world is undergoing extreme change and interracial battles are increasingly rampant, plants and animals are forced to evolve to survive in this world, some are growing, shrinking, and some are growing, develop self-defense and more. Here I will specifically explain to the plants, if you want to know more about animals you can ask Gio (called Astral Supervisor) when you meet him" explained Supervisor Rea.

According to him, Supervisor Rea uses it because he likes his work (Botanist) and the straw hat is like asserting that the woman spends a lot of time with her plants.

There was also a blacksmith training, Arya did not know why they were studying such a thing but she heard a word that sounded similar to "an Elementalist should be able to improve and maintain the condition of his own weapon" the Supervisor of Berlin.

Ursa Berlin, he was the one in charge of this one exercise. From what Arya saw he knew that the Berlin Supervisor was the most powerful watchdog of the other supervisors, perhaps this was due to his work.

"At this first meeting I will not give anything heavy to you, I just ask you to straighten the sword before each of you with a hammer hammer that has been prepared" said the Superintendent of Berlin while pointing at the sword and hammer.

At first Arya underestimated this task, because the small hammer she was facing was already available so she only needed to hit the sword with all her might. But in fact when he tried to lift the hammer with one hand the hammer did not move in the slightest, then he tried his hardest by using both hands but the result was the same.

Then he looked around, it turned out that the others were the same as him. They had difficulty lifting the hammer despite trying their hardest, even he had heard Timothy's cry (Is this what you call unwieldy before the supervisor?!) because so hard he fro move the hammer even though in the end the result is the same, the hammer does not budge in the slightest.

The Berlin superintendent who was watching them while trying to lift the hammer then said.

"Thank your hammers, did you not listen to my words?"

They tried again with all their strength but still without success.

"It seems that you are too spoiled to be an Elementalist, since you cannot follow my orders then I will give you the first task. You all have to carry that hammer wherever you go and you can just take it off if you can lift it up"

Soon the statement was followed by protests from them.

"But this supervisor is too heavy for us, can you give us a little leniency?" timothy protest.

"Whatchu mean? It's the lightest hammer in this place, even my men can lift it"

When Arya heard that she could not believe it, how could anyone lift an object that even Elementalists could not lift? But that all changed when the Berlin Watchdog showed him its weapons workshop, where they saw about 1000 blacksmiths wielding exactly the same hammers they had tried to lift before, because of this, in the end, the ten of them had to end the day by dragging their bags like fools to return to the dormitory.

Thankfully Craft training was better, Supervisor Benjamin Liquite was the one in charge of this training. Supervisor Liquite is a man who uses bandanas and has a stocky body (of course still less stocky with the Berlin Supervisor), Supervisor Liquite trains them to make many things such as furniture and others. But he focuses more on the art of sculpting when teaching, he said this exercise is useful to increase creativity when fighting using the power of Element and many more benefits.

There are also medical exercises, these exercises are led by Supervisor Allucia. Zafrone Allucia is a woman with a petite body that always uses toga, to be honest according to Arya she looks like a loli. Arya dared to bet that her age must not be like the appearance, but she did not dare to ask the age of the Allucia Supervisor, it was rude to ask the age of someone let alone ask the age of a woman.

When Timothy asked about what use this exercise was for them he was immediately snapped by Supervisor Allucia.

"What did you say?! You think every time you get hurt or sick there's always a hospital around you? Basic spoiled! Answer me, is that what you're thinking, huh? HUH?!!"

Then there is Cooking training, this exercise is mentored by the head chef of the Research Center as well as one of the members of the 10 Exam Supervisors, Raymon Gustav. The hallmark of Supervisor Gustav is the apron and chef's hat he often wears, then a thin mustache similar to that of the Astral Watcher but somehow on Gustav's Supervisor's whiskers there is a circular arch at the end of his whiskers.

He explained that Cooking training when beneficial to them, by learning Cooking they can distinguish foods that contain toxins just by using smell and also train their concentration. He reminded them that cooking is not easy, but requires concentration and discipline.

Arya also has two lessons that he is very interested in, namely Symphony and Spy. These two lessons are very interesting according to him, Symphony Training guided by Eyecracker Romero. Supervisor Romero is a man who uses sunglasses and also always carries a stick everywhere, when first Arya does not believe that Supervisor Romero is blind. Because the man was very deft in doing many things, he had a very sharp hearing even he could hear the heartbeat and also distinguish the footsteps of everyone easily. He is also a good music player.

He explained that this lesson could be useful if only for them in times of need, "There are times when you can't trust your eyes" he said wisely. The point of this lesson is about learning the many voices that exist in this world.

Spy is also no less interesting with Symphony even though yahh.The trainer is a bit strange, Julius Varuq is the person responsible for this part. And often times Supervisor Varuq always invites them to practice directly during Spy training, they sneak, dodge, dismantle the password and much more.

"Where are our supervisors going?" ask Arya during training.

"Follow me children, we will go to the paradise of the Men" he cried with enthusiasm.

They also looked at each other, strangely the training this time was only followed by the boys. Supervisor Varuq comforted the girls in training this time, they were sneaking around in the bushes at the time. Arya felt an uneasy feeling then stopped the other four male Elementalists, as the others looked at her with questioning gaze Arya just shook her head, right a moment later.

"We're sam soon.........."

The watchman Varuq's words were lost in his throat as he looked at a woman who was looking at him with a terrible look, the woman was picking up the bushes so as to make the Varuq Supervisor no longer hidden.

"July?" call sweet.

"Ehh? Yes Bianchi? What's the need, huh?" replied Supervisor Varuq with a pale face.

"Julius what are you doing?"

"Ehh? Mmm you know eee is looking for worms" said Superintendent Varuq as he pointed at the ground.

"JULIUSSS????!!!!"

Soon the scene in front of them was very violent, the woman trampled over Supervisor Varuq very cruelly.

"What kind of jerk did you teach the kids?! Sneaking into the ladies' bath huh?!! I was suspicious when the girls told me that you were comforting them"

"Aah....Bianchi don't hurt ahhh steady ahh... Very good please torture me I'm more" said Superintendent Varuq as he grimaced in pain.

"SUDDY MASOCHIST BASICS!!????? I PRAY YOU'LL BE A WORM IN YOUR NEXT LIFE ASSHOLE!!???" the female shouted as she continued to step on Supervisor Varuq with all her might.

That's their perverted Spy teacher, he's great but yeah that's it. Arya refused to comment on the Supervisor on that one.

Actually the woman who trampled on the Masochist Supervisor was also one of the Exam Supervisors, Sinistral La Bianchi. She was the last female member of the 10 Examination Supervisors other than Supervisor Rea and Supervisor Allucia, she was a beautiful white-haired female who had greeted Arya at the first time of arriving of the Penilitian Center.

Supervisor Bianchi is always beautiful, great, and sexy. No wonder she always gets confessions of love from men, but she always rejects all the men who approach her for some reason. He is in charge of being their Physical trainer, Coach Bianchi always gives them a heavy portion of training (he said anyway so that your stamina is durable).

This was Arya's favorite Training, not only because it was trained by the beautiful Supervisor Bianchi but also because of this lesson he didn't feel left out from the other Elementalists. Only in this lesson could he match and even exceed the others, he was also astonished about this. He who had never trained to become an Elementalist could defeat those who were already well trained. It was quite shocking even to himself.

Despite other lessons he was still the lowest (he even lost to Timothy, from TIMOTHY). But there was one more training, Arya was very astonished by this one. He did not understand anything about this training, this training is called Uknown. This training was taught by Magna Po, he was a large tall man but the opposite of the burly Berlin Supervisor. This guy is thick.

And strangely each of his trainers they would just go into the room and sit in their respective places, then see Supervisor Po eating the snacks he brought until the training time runs out. So confused they finally asked him what they should do, but he did not respond at all and continued like that.

Frustrated they finally asked the other Supervisors, but they only replied with a chuckle "you'll know soon enough".

Then Arya got up from her bed, the bad memories she had to erase, she immediately took a book out of her bag and buried her face in it.
