It has been almost two weeks since he 'borrowed' the book from Solar's mini library and have read it to power up his wind element.

There's a lot of useful informations about his power in that book and it even told about some practices and ways to make his power stronger.

He has been practicing it ever since then. After the seven elementals finish their mission with T.A.P.O.P.S, they'd always have a free time. Taufan would grab this leisure time to practice at sparring room alone. After finishing practice, he'd be in his room to read the book.

The other elementals realize that Taufan has been disappearing himself a lot. Usually they'd found Taufan playing with Blaze and Duri and pulling some pranks on others. But everytime on lunch and dinner, Taufan would quickly went to somewhere else after eating his meal. Everyone realize his sudden weird behaviour but none of them says anything and would just let him be.

Taufan quickly open his eyes as he can hear the door knocks. He immediately sits up on his bed. "Did I accidentally fall asleep while reading?"

He search around his bed and found the open book that placed besides him. He take the book, close it, and put it under his pillow. He didn't tell Solar that he 'borrowed' one of the book in his library. Solar might shoot his light power on him for intruding his library.

The door knocks are getting louder from the outside, indicating the person on the other side has lose their patience. Taufan jump off the bed and jog to the door.

He open it and is met by a deep scowl face of the thunderstorm elemental. "Oh, hey Hali! What's up?" Taufan innocently smiled.

"What's up? What's up?! What are you doing for you to take a long time to open the door?" Halilintar's voice getting deeper.

'Oh... he's mad... But why?' Taufan rasied his left eyebrow, a smile still plastered on his face.

"I accidentally fell asleep, hahah." Taufan scratch his cheek.

"Did you fogot that we have a meeting? We have an important mission, how can you leisurely sleep?" Halilintar's eyebrows furrowed, almost making both of his eyebrows met.

Taufan slap his forehead. 'Righttt, how can I forgot?' He glance at Halilintar that glare at him. "Errr... I did forgot actually. Sorry..." He rub the back of his head, felt guilty for forgetting important things like that.

"I-" Halilintar was about to say something, but he stops his sentence and take a deep breath before he let it out. Trying to calm himself. "Everyone's are already there, they're waiting for you." He rolled his eyes at Taufan before he starts taking his steps towards the meeting room.

Taufan stare at Halilintar's retreating back before he jog to his side. "Is this why you'd always disappear? Because you're sleeping all this time?" Halilintar asked without turning his head at him.

"Huh, errr..." He don't want to tell him that he has been practicing hard to toughing his power because he wants to make it as a surprise. "Y-yeah... You know all these missions are so tiring, I barely get enough rest hahah." Taufan grinned from ear to ear making his eyes closed.

"Everyone is doing those missions too, everyone is tired too but we know it's our responsibility anyways. We're superheroes, there's no such thing as rest." Halilintar stops on his tracks as he turn his body to Taufan. Taufan followed his action with a confused smile.

"We're already 16 year-old, Taufan. Stop playing around and be more responsible and mature." Halilintar continue walking, leaving Taufan standing behind alone.

"... I am trying my best..." Taufan whispered to himself, eyes looking sadly at Halilintar's back, small smile never leaves his face.

After few minutes walking, he finally arrive at the meeting room. As the door automatically slides open, six pair of eyes looking at him.
