Narrator: Year 106, Miyuki announced the results for the academy, and Livon, along with Raiden, Ayumi, and Hinaka, passed it, and now they all will be given the status of Elite Soliders by the Chief In Commander of the Aquatic Country, 'Aiden', at today's ceremony.

The ceremony will take place at the Aquatic Academy itself. Only a few minutes were left for the ceremony to begin.

Aiden was accompanied by the Chief In Command of the Strand Country, 'Skyler'.

Aiden (to skyler): It's a good day to have a ceremony, don't you think?

Skyler: Just start the ceremony already.

Aiden: Don't be in a hurry. It will start soon.

Syler: You also know we have much bigger problems right now than having a ceremony.

Aiden- You are talking about the incidents at the Rimsor Forest, huh?

Skyler, I sure am. It's a much bigger concern for us.

Aiden: Well, it can't be helped. These ceremonies only take place every five years. Aren't you excited about what kinds of Elite Soliders we will get this time?

Narrator: Skyler, in the middle of the conversation, started eating an apple.

Aiden (in a loud tone): You are eating apples again?!

Skyler (while eating an apple): Well, it can't be helped. Whenever I am tense, I like to eat apples.

Aiden: Mind telling me, where do you get these apples from?

Skyler- I drew it. Having a Shakti element like 'Color' is useful, don't you think?

Aiden (in a louder tone): Can't even eat fresh apples!! Mann, I hate listening to others eat, it makes my brain go crazy!! For god's sake, just stop eating apples!! 

Narrator: While the conversation between Aiden and Skyler took place inside the room, there was another conversation going on just outside the room. It was between students of Aquatic Country and Strand Country.

(At the corridor)

Livon: How much longer do we need to keep standing outside? Why don't they call us in already?

Raiden: Hmmm... when will it start?

Hinaka: Just wait, you two. It will start off eventually.

Narrator: Suddenly, the temperature around the corridor changed. Snow began falling at the heads of Livon, Raiden, and Hinaka.

Raiden (while trembling): How come it started snowing all of a sudden?

Hinaka (while trembling): It's fricking cold.

Livon (while trembling): Why isn't it stopping?

Noriko: I see boys getting impatient to go inside. Why don't I make all three of you my Snow Man? Hahaha!!

Raiden (to noriko): Heyy, what are you doing? You are one of the students from Strand Country, aren't you?

Noriko (while laughing): Yess. Its me.
It's my 'Snow' element.

Narrator: Hinaka, with the help of his wind element, removed the snow around him and the others.

Livon( to noriko) What the hell is your problem? Why did you cover all three of us in snow? Did we cause you any harm? If not, then why did you do this?

Noriko (to livon): Take it easy, Fire Boy. I was just joking, nothing else.

Raiden (to hinaka): How does she know about Livon's shakti element?

Livon: Yeah, while covering our bodies with snow so we can't breathe. Was that your joke? Huh?

Noriko (while laughing): So you want to fight Fire Boy? Fire vs. Snow. It will be interesting to see how wins it.

Livon: If that is what you want, I can gladly give it to you then.

Narrator: Suddenly, out of nowhere, Noriko started to bow her head towards everybody.

Noriko (while bowing down her head): Damn it. Why am I bowing down to these idiots? I can't control my body. It has to be you!!!

Hinaka: What happened? Why is she suddenly bowing her head towards us? Wasn't she just now picking up a fight with Livon?

Raiden: Don't tell me she is crazy!!

Livon (to noriko): So you finally realized your mistake. It's okay; you don't need to bow down. Just say sorry; it will be enough.

Noriko (with an angry voice to livon): Shut up, you brat!! Who the hell even wants to bow her head to you idiots? I am just not able to control my body.

Narrator: All the other newly Elite Soliders who passed the Strand Academy alongside Noriko were also present beside her in the corridor.

Nova: There is only one person who can do this.

Kiyomi (to nova): Yeah, you are damn right.

Noriko- Damn you, Suzune. It's you, isn't it? You are using your 'Wire' shakti element to control me, aren't you? Where the hell are you even?

Narrator: There was a window on one of the walls of the corridor. From that window, Suzune, the teacher for the Strand Country, jumped and then arrived at the corridor.

Suzune (to noriko): Is this how one of my students talks to their fellow countrymen? I taught you better than this, Noriko!!!

Noriko (to suzune): Just why the hell are you even here? Weren't you supposed to wander around the Strand Country at this time?

Suzune (to the rest of the elite soldiers from Strand Country): Shouldn't all of you have stopped Noriko from picking up fights with soliders from Aquatic Country?

Baker (to suzune): We weren't interested; I mean, 'I wasn't' interested enough to barge into someone else's fight.

Suzune (to noriko): Nevermind that. Now that I am here, I will stop her and everyone else on my own.

(Miyuki arrives at the scene)

Miyuki (to suzune): Oh, quite heavy words!! So you are going to stop everyone here, so that includes me too?

Suzune: Well, if that is what you want, then I won't stop you. And neither will I stop.

Miyuki: Oh, is that so? Then I will stop.

Hinaka (to raiden): Why is Miyuki here? Didn't he say goodbye to us the last time we met?

Raiden: Well, that doesn't matter. The only thing that matters is that Miyuki and Suzune are both present here at the same time!!

Livon (in his mind): Why is he here alongside Suzune? And here I was thinking that some fighting would go on between me and Noriko.

Ayumi: Some high-class drama is happening over here.

Noriko (with an angry voice to suzune): Could you please un-wire me now, Suzune? For how much longer do I need to bow down?

Suzune (to noriko): Oh, I completely forgot about you. First, say sorry to those three.

Noriko (with awkward face): I am sorry to cause you any trouble.

Suzune (to noriko): Good, that's how my students talk and behave.

Narrator: Then Suzune, after all of that, lets go of the wire in one of her fingers to free Noriko out of her misery. After that, they heard a voice coming from inside the room that was telling them to come in. Then all the newly passed Elite Soliders from both counties, along with Miyuki and Suzune, entered the room.

Everyone stood in a straight line, bowing their heads down towards Aiden and Skyler.

Aiden: So all of you are the students who passed from both countries. It's good to see you all here, and you too, Miyuki and Suzune.

Miyuki and Suzune: Thank you for inviting us here!

Skyler: Well, sorry to disappoint everyone, but this is not a ceremony. We don't do that. Don't expect us to give you some kind of medal for appreciation, some random headband, or a proper uniform just so that you will look cool or be different from others. This is not what being 'Elite Soiders' means.

Aiden: He is absolutely right. You guys are only here for one particular purpose, and that purpose is to assign you to your very first mission. All of you are required to go to the Rimsor Forest immediately!!
