Everything bugged his core. Felix never read that sentence, never. Sure he could read those words, but….  

"Anemo? Lukso? Skoto? Alchemist Stone? What does all of that mean?" He shrugs his shoulders.

Roselin replied, "Sweetie, Alchemist Stones are the colourful stones that I put in tools. Those stones represent every element you can control."

Linsy rubbed her chin. "But, it's strange. A Lukso? Skoto? What does that mean?"

"You never hear that, Sweetie?"

"Sure I hear that in the Greek Myth book, but on this module?" A heavy sigh came from her lips. 

Anastasia crossed her hands. "You're Scientist, right? You are supposed to know everything." 

"Yeah, yeah, it's 'supposed', not 'must' know everything." 

A banged came from the main door and it got louder. Anastasia covered her ears while watching those doors barely open. "Ugh, I hate those robots. Hey, can you give us a minute? Don't make any noise, please!" She turned to the two girls. "Quick, get him to choose!"

"Sweetie, choose which one you want?"

"All."

"Ara ara, you are so greedy, ya. but nope, you can only choose one. Hurry up Sweetie."

Linsy took seven stones of different colours and handed them to Felix. "My advice, choose the one with the greatest match with your blood. Hurry up."

"Let me see which one it is." Felix read a machine again. "You mean Pyro?"

"Got it, Pyre then." Linsy picked up a red stone in the container. "Wait here, I give this stone a place for."  She hurriedly spilled the bag contents.

"What is Pyro?" Felix scratched his head. "Sorry, I don't get it."

"Pyro means Fire, Sweetie,"  said Roselin, watching the door. "You can control fire element."

"Control it? How?"

"Use your imagination, Tool Man."  Anastasia readied her sword. "Ah, too bad you don't have a weapon that can absorb elemental energy."

"I have this."  Felix put his bow, dagger, and quiver on the desk. "Is all this going to work?"

Anastasia shook her head. "It's all trash. I mean, just normal weapons. You have to wear special weapons made from element conduct, like Beryl that made my whip blades. It's one hundred percent pure Beryl, the best Electric conductor. Then, the Scientist's bot, eighty percent Rhodium. Then Roselin's gauntlets are made of Helium 3 wrought into cloth, versatile conductor for every element."

Felix scratched his head. All of this was new for him and he didn't understand at all. "Can I use wood?"

"Oh my Archon!" Anastasia slapped her forehead. "Why is man always stupid? Can't you use your brains a little bit?"

"You have a problem with a man, aren't you?" Felix shouldn't have given her any reason to scoff. He regrets it now. 

"Don't worry Sweetie. You can wear this."  Roselin lent him his right glove. "At least you can channel your energy through those gloves."

Felix received lavender-scented gloves. "How about you?"

"I'm fine with just one.Use your imagination. The more you use the Alchemist Stone and the more knowledge you have, the more powerful you will become. In order to increase your abilities, you must–"

"This, this, there's no more time."  Linsy inserted a Pyro stone into her silver pendant necklace, then pulled Felix to bend down, making it easier for her to put on the chain. "Done. Now, register yourself, hurry up!"

"Sweety, you look handsome and cool with that heart necklace"

"Come on Felix, put the head of the necklace to your lips and whisper!"  Linsy said, clenching her fists expectantly. "Tell it who you are. Hurry!"

"Test, test. My name is Felix Longsword, like that?"

His necklace started beeping.

A heat came from Pyro element stone, spreading on his veins. It felt too close to a bonfire. "It felt warm."

"Oh so that what Pyro felt. I felt ssssrt for myself," Anastasia mumbled. "Hurry up, they almost break the door."

"Okay, I don't know what happened, but I like it." Felix smilled. "Oh it's so cool!"

"Let's test your skills, Sweetie."

"Good, you three have fun."  Linsy took her bag, then went to the computer at the room's far end. "Give me a little time, I'll copy all the data. We have to save the technology."

"Roselin, could you help me, how to use my imagination?" Felix asked. 

"Like this. I imagined a shell shield and formed a shell shield."  Roseline demonstrated. "The higher your stamina and strength, the more you can create. I'll explain later after we get out of here. Now, try it."

Felix imagines creating a fire tornado, but it doesn't work. His strength may be lacking, and his stamina may not be up to par.

Then he imagined that his right hand was spitting fire. Suddenly, his right hand fist was covered with fire. Felix smacked his left palm. "All right, bring them on!"

"Remember stamina and strength, Tool Man." Anastasia prepared herself for battle. "My feet have not yet healed, but, I will show you, even an injured girl could do better than a man."

"Your wish!"

Felix and Anastasia exchanged glances and competitive smiles. They want to prove who was the greatest between them.  However, is it appropriate? Anastasia's leg still hurts.

"On three. One, two…go!" Anastasia dashed first.

"Not fair, you dirty girl!"
