"Lex run ! don't worry about us and just get as far away fro here as possible now go!"
"No mom im not leaving you we can run away together!"
"Please listen to me my son y...."
"Mom! Noooo !"
Lex was not even surprised anymore, to see the familiar sight of his dreams.
The day before, after the lesson, Lex and Adam where in no mood to talk and just walked home in silence. The lesson had been too much for their young minds. Lex even wondered if Ms Laura's blue pills worked or not.
Lex woke up and did his usual routine before setting off towards Adam's house. After picking up Adam and eating the meatloaf which Mrs Jones forced down his throat, Lex and Adam left for school.
"Good morning students, I hope you all had a good night's sleep because today is gonna be a long day"
Laura spoke , "I will get straight to the point, you are getting your elements awaken today."
The students where not surprised to hear that , they already expected as such with everything going on.
"Because of the rush this time there will be no ceremony, your relatives are not coming and the tests will be carried out right here in this class room. All the other classes are doing the same in theirs."
Some students where disappointed to hear that , most of them wanted their parents to be there to witness the most important day of their lives. The disappointment was replaced with happiness though when 4 people in white lab coats entered the classroom.
The Four men where carrying with them a silver orb.The orb was the device which could forcefully awaken elements, it was the perfect fusion of science and magic. Ms Laura began explaining the process "This here students is called the...."
She took a glance at the paper in her hands before resuming "it's called the 'element identifer' , i guess the lab did not have the time to come up with a better name" she remarked sarcastically.
"When i call out your name you will come up and put both your hands on the crystal. It will then light up according to what your elemental aptitude is."
"The brighter the colour , the more potential you have."
Ms Laura didn't waste anymore time and called out the first student
"Tina Dep."
A short girl slowly stood up and walked towards the crystal. Anyone could tell she was nervous. She was probably anxious because she was the first student to test. Her anxiety soon turned to happiness when the orb in her hands went from silver to blue in a few seconds. Her hair turned to match the orb's colour. Ms Laura nodded her head with a smile while writing something down.
_'I guess she has potential'_ Lex thought.More students where called up one by one untill finally it was Adam's turn.
"Adam Jones"
Adam made his way to the crystal with a smile , he seemed really excited. Before touching the crystal he turned his head back and mouthed the words 'Flame brothers' to Lex. Lex just smiled while shaking his head.
The next moment a warm red glow came from the crystal, then that glow became brighter and brighter untill the students had to cover their eyes. Only Ms Laura and the four scientists kept their eyes opened and fixed on the crystal. They could not close them even if they tried , their surprise and prevented that action.
As soon as the light faded, Ms Laura became the new target for the students' eyes . Her proud smile had turned into a large grin ,with a few isolated laughs.
"I do believe i have a genius in my class" She exclaimed.
"Congratulations Adam, you are as from now the most powerful student in the class , heck maybe even in the whole Junior school, you must have really incredible parents."
Adam could did not hear a word Ms Laura said after 'most powerful' , he walked back to his seat with his eyes on his hands.
"You ok bro ?" Lex asked and Adam just nodded, he seemed to be in a daze.
"Linda Lane" the next name was called and Lex turned his attention away from Adam. Linda confidently walked forward and didn't hesitate to put her hand on the spherical device. Confusion appeared on her face as the sphere lit up green. The light was bright but not as bright as Adam's. The kids could just squint their eyes to protect them from the green halo.
Linda immediately turned towards the teacher after letting go of the crystal." Ma'am how is this possible, has this ever happened before?"
The rest if the class didn't know what Linda was talking about, only Lex and Ms Laura. Understood her confusion.
None of Linda's parents had a wind aptitude so theoretically it was impossible for Linda to awaken Wind. Miss Laura shook her head "This is not the first time this has happened so don't worry it's not a big issue , just know that you have a pretty powerful wind element at your disposal now . I can even personally train you from now on."
Linda went back to her desk with confusion on her face her newly green hair fluttering in the air made a spectacular view, for Lex that is.
"Lex Black" hearing his name being called snapped him out of his day dreaming session and he stood up towards Ms Laura. Lex took a glance behind him at the classroom and he noticed that he was the last one to go. He could see that every student behind him had different color hair. The most common element in that classroom was earth. Lex wondered if that was a coincidence or if earth was just the most common element.
He noticed Adam giving him a thumbs up with a smile on his face .Lex turned and put his hands on the crystal orb.
The orb burst into peaces under the flabbergasted look of the students, Ms Laura and 3 of the scientists .The fourth man was already walking towards the door.
