"You think my decision is wrong ?" Abby asked again.
"No No Abby, I was just worried that we will waste our time, he already said he can't afford serum"
"You don't need to worry"
"Ahm, Abby I need to tell something," Ray asked.
"What is it?"
All four of them were walking towards the school gate while they talked.
"Yesterday I met Sanjiro-San, he also said I am a Fire elemental but I don't remember getting any serum injected in my body"
"Who is this Sanjiro?" Chris asked
"Someone who can kick your ass within seconds without a single sweat" Alex replied with both of his hands supporting his head backward.
"Japan's B-rank Water elemental under Aoki group" Abby replied.
"Whoa B-rank elemental, how did you meet him, Ray" Chris asked Ray.
Alex and Abby were surprised as Chris talked normally with Ray for the first time.
"Well, yesterday he visited the Caffe in which I work."
"Then?". Alex asked
"H-He also said I Have Fire Element inside my body, and he could sense my mana"
"Whattt!! you already have mana flowing in your body?"Chris asked in excitement
"Since Sanjiro confirmed this, you really are Elemental, maybe your parents injected serum on your birth, many rich families inject serum upon birth this helps in becoming Stronger Elemental as your body recognize the mana as a natural part of the system" Abby said
"Isn't this cheat?" Chris asked
"Well, it is! but everyone has different fates" Abby said
"So Ray has a rich family, huh?" Alex said.
"No, no I don't have parents I was raised in an orphanage until I turned 15 I was informed my parents died in an accident and left behind a house for me to live in, since then I am living all alone" Ray said in sad tone
Alex tried to avoid the topic about Ray's parents "Isn't Sanjiro the one who is assigned to teach us about elements"
"Really?" Chris jumped in excitement again.
"Yeah dumbass now don't behave like a kid" Alex said
Seeing them behaving like this Ray laughed
"Hey what's so funny?" Alex asked
"I think you guys are not so bad as everyone says" Ray replied
They reached inside the school and continued to talk while heading to their class.
"We aren't cruel, this world made us like we are now, I wish we could escape this world "Abby said as the three of them looked a little sad.
"We don't bully cause we like, we do it to survive, the three of us lost our family in the Mondog attack 20 years ago" Alex said and everyone took their seats as they reached inside the class.
Ichiro was quite shocked seeing Ray talk with Alex, Abby, and Chris casually.
Elaine was already sitting on her usual seat.
"Good Morning Elaine" Alex greeted.
"Yeah" Elaine gave him a cold shoulder.
"Is Elaine having that time of month?"Alex said to himself.
"Hey Ray why are you all of a sudden on friendly terms with those" Ichiro asked
"Those?"
"Yeah, Alex and Chris were fighting with you yesterday suddenly you are talking casually with them"
"Ah, I think we all have misunderstood them"
"Misudenstrsood? they openly bully students"
"Yes, they went far as to bully students but weren't we the ones who judged them cause they were foreigners"
"We-Well" Ichiro was speechless as Ray spoke.
Suddenly the homeroom teacher entered."So all of you know that an Elemental is assigned to our school to teach you about elements, the first class will be held in the sports hall everyone quietly assemble there." He said after taking the attendance.
Everyone was excited to meet the Elemental they started discussing while walking towards the sports hall.
"Heh, they know they can't even become elementals but still are excited" Alex Said
"What a bummers, this may be the first time they are going to see a real elemental in their life" Chris said.
"This is also your first time to meet an elemental" Alex teased
"Hey, I'm also an elemental I don't need to meet anyone" Chirs replied
"No you are not, your dantian isn't formed yet " Abby replied
"Abby, can you check which element I will receive" Elaine asked holding Abby's hand
"You'd probably get wind or earth, it's already decided no one can tell before the formation of your dantian" Abby replied
"Well Elaine isn't your father rich he could easily get you E-17 serum" Alex asked
"Don' you know there are limited serums in Japan only some of them are lucky enough to get hands-on them, while others are controlled by the damn government" Elaine said
They entered the sports hall and it was empty.
"Huh? is the elemental late?" Ichiro asked
Everyone started murmuring until Sanjiro entered the hall from the front with his body floating in the air with the help of water on his feet.
He moved forward with water supporting his legs and the water disappeared as he jumped down.
Everyone was amazed and surprised by the stunt Snajiro made, they were all getting more and more excited.
"Good morning students" Sanjiro greeted
Everyone also greeted in sync "Good morning sir"
"No need to be formal call me Sanjiro-San I am just your temporary teacher"
"Now, who do we have here, fire and earth elementals"
Everyone was confused about what Sanjiro was saying cause no one was yet an elemental in their school, only Chris, Alex, Abby, and Elaine were injected with serums and they knew it takes 90 days to control elements after injection.
"I'm talking about those two boys there"
