It was a rushy morning in the household of Abriel. It was the day of his admission in the School of Elementals known as Elemanto. To be precise it was a rushy morning for Abriel's parents who were the ones interested in admitting Abriel to Elemanto for a greater knowledge and power of one of the elements of the nature which are Fire, Water, Air, Earth and Lightning. But for Abriel he just wanted to continue his normal relaxed life living in his room, playing his board games, etc. He wanted to grow but his laziness was the reason why he thought that life will smoothly take him where he belongs.
Adriel Novim is 14 year old boy, 5'4" height and a bit skinny, gifted in physical and mental attributes but is below average because of his lazyness. He lives in the Cals district of the Vivok province with his father named John Novim, mother names Seline Novim and his younger sister named Adriana Novim.
The time to leave the house for the admission came near and his father gushed," Come downstairs Riel, it's time to leave or we are going to be late for the admission test." After which he ran and wore his clothes hurriedly and while coming downstairs he slipped and fell. He got a slight bruise on the head which was immidietely treated by his mother after which she kissed him on his head and bid him goodbye. His sister waited for him near the car which would take him and as he was going to hop in the car Adriana gave him a flower and wishes him good luck.
Sitting in the car with his father, his father questioned," So Riel, how's your preparation for the exam?" to which he replied," Most probably I will get the admission father." His father smiled, patteted his shoulder and said," I am sure son, you will definetely get admitted." On this he felt something heavy on his chest, he thought about the efforts his parents made and the faith he saw about him in his sister's eyes, he needed to get this admission at any cost just to put a smile on their faces. He started revising his syllabus and found it quite easy and only if he had time he would have aced the exams.
Reaching Elemanto, Adriel saw 5 statues and they were named as follows:
First from the left was named Nik who was the possessor of the Air Element. The one on the right most was named Trad who was the possessor of the Earth Element. The second from the left was Asz the Fire Element user and the one second from right was Deve, she was the possessor of the Water element. The one in the middle was Utik the user of Lightning Element.
These five members of Fivlapo established this school 3 centuries ago. The school from the inside was like an old mansion and had a sweet smell which was quite pleasing. The parents that came along with the examinees had to wait outside the Main Hall as the exam was to be held in be Main Hall. This exams consisted of questions regarding basic knowledge about the elementals and their powers. About 500 students appeared and the number of students that could get the admission was 200. Adriel sat on his seat and beside him was Rick, a tall and fat 15 year old boy who was passing comments about other kids and acted tough. Beside whom Adriel sat and the teacher who came to take the test was Mr. Prey, an Air Elemental. He provided the questions to the students with the use of his powers and then asked them to start writing the exam.
The questions would have been easier for Abriel if he had studied a bit more but he was able to answer some questions. The questions were related to History of Elementals, The School, the types of Elementals and their speciality. Mr. Prey, a middle aged man, about 40 years old with a patchy beard and a bit of grey in his black long hairs. After a while a student stood up and gave his answer script while Mr. Prey took the sheet of paper and he went near the wall. As the paper touched the wall it started to get swallowed by the wall slowly. Mr. Prey asked the student to wait outside the Main Hall. The student had a strange smile with satisfaction on his face as if it was a great feat finishing the test before anyone else. Soon the students finishing started leaving and Mr. Prey kept on taking the sheets and the walls kept eating the sheets. Soon Abriel gave the answer sheet and as he was leaving he was tripped by Rick and he fell down on the ground which made the wound from the morning bleed. Suddenly a woman with sap green hair appeared from within the thin air and started coming closer to Abriel. She came near him bent down to him and touched his wound after which her hand started to glow gradually healing his injury. Feeling relieved from the pain Abriel looked at her and she smiled at him saying," Come little lad, let me accompany you to the gate of the Hall." She helped Abriel get up and they started walking towards the gate.
"Abriel it is, I suppose." said the lady.
"Yes madam but how do you know my name, madam?" was Abriel's statement. She said with keen eyes," Everyone in the World of Elementals knows the name of Abriel Novim, the true successor of Utik Pashk and being a person in the world of Elementals I come to know this. You sure have some greater purpose in this school haha..." This line by her struck Abriel so bad that he kept on thinking why was he called the true successor of Utik or how did everyone know his name. Nothing made sense to him and sussy smile on the face of the lady just couldn't give him any hint. The lady continued," Oh! I forgot to introduce myself. I am Rosade Omane, a teacher in the school and an Earth Elemental." Abriel nodded to her statement but he was still confused about the successor fact.
As he left the Hall his father came and asked him about the exam. He told him that he was confident enough that he will be admitted.
As time passed by the other students kept coming and finally the hall was empty. After that Mr. Prey came out of the room and as soon as he stepped out, the hall vanished. The other end had a big screen below which there was a stage.
There were seats on both sides of the path and a sweeter aroma filled the air. Mr. Prey went to one seat and sat and suddenly one by one individuals started appearing by their respective seats. A man in his fifties appeared on the stage and he said," In the year of 2213, the students have arrived for their training in Elemanto. I am the headmaster of the school Ian Noit. As i can see you all are filled with joy and eagerness to explore the World of Elementals. But, the test conducted can only let some of you be the part of it but i do see the potential in all of you. So let me make it quick and short, If you are not selected, don't be mistaken that you cannot apply again. It's always your will to apply anytime and your hardwork to get selected. So here are the names of the students who were capable enough to get selected.." And he started taking the names. As he took the names, the screen above him showed the information about the student. Abriel and his father were waiting for his name, it was not anywhere close which raised the tension in his father's heart. "Student number 199, Chriss Devis" said the Headmaster. Now Abriel was sure that it was his name in the 200th position. "Student number 200...."
It was not his name..
