The Four Elements

Element 36

/Greya/

After lifting those barbels with their bracelets on, I ordered Desty to leave us alone so she went off, together with Ice.

Freeze looked at me and asked if what will we do next. I told her what to do using our telepathy and she agrees to the plan.

Next training? Fencing. This is useful because you could defend yourself using whatever it can may be. You can use sticks, tubes, swords or whatever.

And we got another plan. I motioned them to go near the two of us so they immediately followed. After some minutes of explaining, a comment was given.

"Ha?! Pag-aawayin niyo kami?!" The twins asked at the same time. I nodded at them and we both looked at Kae.

"Do you have a question?" she shook her head. I mouthed good and looked at the twins with a cold look. I saw how they flinch at the same time. Suddenly, a strong wind blew which made them threw themselves on the floor.

Wind element.

"Yan, anong ginagawa mo rito?" Kae asked him, it's Miruh. He breathes hard and rapidly. Looks like he gone into something.

"M-May humabol sakin kanina pero bigla silang n-nawala." He told us and he catch his breath again. I looked at him and I guess he guessed what was I thinking.

"Dark shadows." I rolled my eyes upwards then sat on the air (in other words, I'm floating) and mockingly laugh.

"Are they scared of us already and they were treating us as a threat? Ha-ha." I said. They looked at me puzzled. Freeze sighed and talk.

"Listen, kaya nila tayo tinatakot, hinahabol o kinakalaban because they were afraid that we can make them go down. Tayo lang naman kasi ang makakapagpabagsak sa kanila." she said and I nodded, agreeing on what she said.

"Right and they're targetting us starting from the younger ones." I added and pointed Miruh and Kae. They both looked at each other and let out a sigh while Xyper just 'tsked' and Hunter nodded.

"Iniisip nila na mahihina kaming mas bata? We have more endurance." Kae protest. And Miruh's second the motion followed.

Yes, they're right. But endurance isn't enough to win the fight. You need to do a teamwork, you need to help each other in order to save one another. You need to be skillful, to be fast and cooperate with each other. That's how you win a fight.

"You can never be sure on what will turn out, be alert." Rallen said, I just nodded, not even denying what she said was true. Cause it's really true, whatever she says, are actually right and certain.

I was about to tell them to start the fight when Rallen motioned her hand. I went in front of her and asked what is it.

"It would be better I'll make a barrier and if they could break or even just a little crack, they could proceed to the next level." I actually kinda' liked her idea so I pushed through.

I told them our idea and all they need to do is focus and put all their strength to destroy it. Well, they really don't need to destroy it. Some few cracks will do.

I created a tunnel to wherever it'll go so that we could do our training there. The whole basement would got desolated if we'll do it there.

I dug up and my, it was pretty further from the twin's house. Uhm, it's better. Less damage.

Rallen started creating a huge barrier that has an entrance inside. Maybe in order for them to get inside and start their training.

She said that we need to have a timer so we had and I set the timer in twenty minutes. It's pretty long and well, maybe interesting or maybe boring

The first one who tried the training was Miruh and I musy say I'm impressed. From our very first training, he was not that skilfull but now, look at him, so serious and focused.

The six of us are seating in the chair I made while watching what will Miruh do. I'm actually excited on what his first move will be. I want to see his potentials, what he got into the mansion's training. It's impossible there wouldn't be any change, right? Too impossible.

And in a blink of an eye, Miruh suddenly flew. Higher, higher and higher. Then he created a spear and tried to smash it with full force.

The force was so strong that it made him fell down and bump his head on the other side. So that spear has no effect, I wonder what will he do next.

He flew higher again and shot some darts but those darts came back to him. He got another tactic and shook his hand which made those darts flew to another direction.

He even tried kicking the barrier but he was the one who got hurt. Poor foot.

He just did again and again but not a single crack happen. I'm actually kinda' disappointed.

Tik. Tok. Tik. Tok.

Five minutes left, Dalves. Five minutes.

"I'm afraid he can't do it." Freeze told us. I nodded as answer but Rallen shook her head. She cooly folded her arms and cross-legged.

"Just watch, there are more time. More."she sounds so cool at the same time creepy. The moment she said more, it totally creeped me out. What a twelve-year old girl who has all the elements and actually matured than I think.

I just focused on watching Miruh who's helplessly on the ground, full of cuts and scratches. But he suddenly stood up, supports himself using his element and...

The next thing I knew, he was creating a huge swirl.

This is not good.

/Miruh/

Peste, pakiramdam ko wala akong silbi. Na wala akong karapatan para maging descendant nang mga Helmmingjens. Parang pinapahiya ko ang apelyido nang mga magulang ko. Ganito lang? Ganito lang sumusuko na ako? Ang hina-hina ko! Ang hina-hina ko talaga, peste.

Ang dami kong galos dahil sa katangahan ko, alam ko na ngang babanda pabalik ang mga spears na ginawa ko, inuulit ko parin. Nagbabakasali kasi ako na baka masira pag-inulit-ulit ko kaso eto ako ngayon, nanghihina at walang silbi. Peste talaga! Paano ko mapoprotektahan ang guild naman kung ganito ako kahina? Paano ko mapoprotektahan ang babaeng mahal ko kung mismong sarili ko hindi ko maprotektahan? Paano ko mahahanap ang kuya ko kung iniisip ko na hanggang dito nalang ako?!

Tik. Tok. Tik. Tok.

Five minutes, five minutes na lang ang natitira. Bahala na, bahala na kung ano ang mangyari. Eto nalang ang alam ko, eto nalang ang natitirang paraan na naiisip ko.

Sinubukan kong tumayo at ginawang pang-suporta ang mga hangin upang makatayo ng maayo.

Ipinikit ko ang aking mga mata nang makaramdam ako ng kirot sa aking kaliwang bahagi nang ulo. Nakarinig ako ng isang mahinang tinig.

"Miruh, ako si Phantom. I am the elemental spirit. Magtiwala ka lang sa iyong sarili, magagawa mo ito dahil tutulungan kita." Kasabay nang kanyang pagsasalita ay siyang paglakas ng hanging nagagawa ko.

Spiky swirls.

Isa ito sa mga steps sa training ko pero hindi ko magawa. Ngayon ay nagawa ko na, at halos lahat nang enerhiya ko ay naibuhos ko na rito.

Bahala na kung anong mangyari. Sana ay tumalab ang mga iyon upang masira ang barrier.

"Salamat, Phantom." bulong ko bago tuluyang mawalan ng malay-tao.

/Greya/

I-I didn't expect this. He could make a spiky swirl in that age?! He really made me impressed. I am more that impressed, I know that Freeze was impressed, too. Even Rallen who was smirking. I even heard her murmuring that says "Phantom, the wind's elemental spirit." Does that mean Miruh and his elemental spirit has already merged as one?

"Miruh!" Kae shouted when the moment the barrier cracked, Miruh lose his conciousness.

I run towards him and let Freeze treat him.

Way to go, Dalves. Way to go.
