Darkest Days

4, The Light Element

The next two days after I got up and then I felt someone punch me from behind whilst I was brushing my teeth. I was startled for a second and turned around quickly to try and floor the person (to floor someone means to put someone down in bri'ish slang b r u v) but then I stopped when I saw Maki's face.

She looked way more scared than me and then I quickly washed my mouth from the toothpaste and I shouted "What the hell Maki, you're already pretty strong, that hurt y'know?!" I laughed a little and then from the mirror I saw her emerald eyes widen.

"I-Im sorry! I didn't mean to hurt you!" She says quietly stuttering. Then I burst out laughing. "It's okay, I'm just saying you're amazing! And today I'm gonna train you!" I say with a smile. Then her mood quickly lightened from guilt to immense joy and she jumped up and hugged me from behind.

(A little later)

Maki was standing beside me and we went into my room. Then I tipped a book from my bookcase and my bed slowly moved into my wall; a staircase formed underneath.

"Follow me, we're going into my training arena." I say calmly.

"This whole house is so cool!" She mumbled under her breath with awe at the sight of this machinery, for me of course it was normal. I've done this everyday...

When we arrived, I saw the room as usual, a few training dummies at the back, an obstical course in one of the corners and a few weights in the room were also seen. On one of the walls was a selection of a bunch of blunt model weapons used for training (model weapons like wooden katanas) and the room itself was massive ranging at about one hundred metres in length and width...

"This room is so massive!!" She exclaimed with excitement.

"Yeah, I know..." I replied quietly.

"Ok first of all we're going to see what element you have on you.." I say quite sternly. I handed her a piece of paper which was thick in depth and I also held one up and I said "In order to reveal your element, you'll have to insert your Chimrea (the name of the type of magic used here) into the paper, if electrons appear then you have Thunder, If it turns to water, you'll have Liquid, if it burns, you'll have Fire, if it simply breaks into two you have Wind and if it becomes a rock you'll have Earth." I say explaining it to her..

She then held the paper up and first my paper had a reaction, it burned into a black flame and afterwards the whole thing became jet black; it had a black mist coming off of it. Then her paper gave a reaction and it began to glow and float on its own, then it broke into two...

What the... that's...that can't be.

Is that the Light element?! I asked myself.

My eyes widened and I took a step back from her...

"You... you have the light element!! Which means you could be as strong as me!!" I shouted loudly with a smirk on my face.

Her eyes also widened again just as mine did and then she looked at me with the biggest smile I had seen her have so far.

"Light?! Strong as you?! Yeah!" She called out; her arms out in the air from excitement. I was so happy and relieved to see her smiling so widely because two days ago she was so lifeless, as if someone took her soul out of her.

"Alright then, for your training run 100 meters and back in one go!" I said to her, and then she ran off so quickly and what seemed in to be no less than two minutes she was done... I was so surprised because running 100 meters in one breath took me three days to master.

"Y-you...you really did that in one go?" I said again quietly. I was so embarrassed because it took me three days to do that and she did it in one go.

She looked up at me a little confused...

"What? What happened?" She asked with her head tilted.

"T-That took me three days, yet you did in one go..." I say awkwardly...

A few hours later, we both became exhausted from all that training so we had dinner, had some fun (idk like watched a show or something) and then went off to sleep...
