Taufan felt his head hurts so much as he force himself to open his eyes slowly. The first thing that appear on his sight is a close proximity of someone's face.

"Wargh!" Taufan yelled and immediately sits up as he was surprised with the sudden appearance.

When he got a better look on the person, he let out a relief sigh. "Oh, hey Duri." He let out a genuine smile at the nature element.

But the latter didn't replied his smile back as a frown covered his face. "Are you okay, Taufan? We were so surprised when you suddenly fainted."

Taufan blinked his eyes, confused. Then a memory of him suddenly passed out at the dobby room flashed in his mind.

Blaze and Duri that were in the middle of talking, turn around after they heard the sound of his body collapsed to the ground. They were so shocked as Blaze immediately carry him in piggy back while Duri hold on Taufan's hand to make sure he's safe.

They met with the the others at the hallway, making the others have confused and surprised expression on their faces when they saw the lifeless Taufan behind Blaze's back.

Taufan glance at Duri and analyze the latter's face that looking at him worriedly, eyebrows knitted. Taufan give him a soft smile. "I am fine now, Duri. So don't worry too much." He pinch Duri's cheeks gently but Duri is not having it as he's not convince with Taufan's answer.

"Duri has told us everything, Taufan." The sudden voice snapped him out as he look around the room and realize that all of his brothers are here.

"You changed into Beliung when you played with them, right?" Halilintar crossed his arms, his face has a scowl on it.

"Yeah, but what did it have to do anything with me fainted?" Taufan tilt his head, right eyebrow raised up.

"Don't pretend to not know, air head. You know why you keep fainting everytime you use beliung power." Solar's eyebrows knitted, didn't like the idea of Taufan trying to fool them.

Taufan stare down at the mattress, letting out a short sigh and a small smile form on his lips. Of course he knows what they meant. It's his own body so he knows more than anyone else on why his body keeps reacting weirdly like that.

"And Duri told us that Blaze is the one that asked you to turn into beliung." Ais speaks out making everyone turn their head at the fire elemental that is looking on the ground with a guilty face.

"Gempa already gave him a long lecture on it so rest assured." Duri pat Taufan's hand but the latter's eyes still glued on Blaze.

"It's actually my fault. I got excited to use beliung again, that's why I played along with his idea when I actually can just ignore his suggestion." Taufan stare at Gempa but the earth elemental shakes his head.

"You don't need to always take the blame on something that is clearly not your fault. I've already gave the lecture to Blaze so there's no use of you trying to defend him." Gempa is totally not impressed with Taufan trying to protect his fellow troublemaker buddy.

"How about you stop using beliung. You may physically ready to use it but mentally, you're not." Solar suggested.

"No! I can't... I need this power!"

"Need it for what?" Ais is the one that asking the question.

"T-to be... stronger..." Taufan's voice getting lower in every words but they still manage to catch it.

"The more you use it, the more exhausted you'll be. It will affect your health too." Halilintar spoke out.

"Let go of that power, Taufan. It's for the best. You can still become strong with your second tier power." Gempa's lips formed a smile but his eyes shows sadness in it.
