The Fifth Element

07: Master Fire

Even though I'm still tired, I couldn't do anything but join them today. Today is History subject and Professor Dominic will teach us. I haven't met him and I hope he's a kind and understanding Professor. Aya and Diego didn't want me to join them because they were worried about me but we couldn't do anything because I also need this subject.

I need to learn about the history. I need to learn everything.

We entered a classroom and it's really wide but only had six armchairs. There is also a table in front and I am sure it is for Professor Dominic.

Fire is the one who sat down first followed by Seth. There are two chairs every row in a straight line. Fire and Seth are in the first row, behind them are Diego and Anais. Aya and I were at the very end.

"Don't be nervous because this subject is easier than the two subjects. It's all about stories but it will be difficult when Professor Dominic give us riddles." Aya said to me.

I smiled at her and nodded. Just then a man entered who I think was only a few years older than Miss Lovely. He's wearing eyeglasses and looks very strict. Scary like Prof Lu.

He stopped ahead to look at us and he looked at me for a long time. He only stopped looking at me when Aya stood up and took some books from the bookshelves. She gave us one each before returning to her seat.

"What's the name of the new student?" Professor Dominic asked as he opened his book.

I stood up and spoke. "I'm Solanna Layla Herrera."

"Prof Lu didn't tell me anything about you. Can you tell me about yourself?"

I bit my lip before nodding. "I grew up in the human world. My parents raised me without knowing anything about the Academy and the elements. My Dad is a holder of air element while my Mom is a witch."

He nodded and looked at me. His stares made me a little uncomfortable so I bowed my head to avoid his eyes. "How was your training? Has your element come out yet?"

"The training helped me a lot. I know how to fight and use my bow in different ways. I-I don't have my element yet..."

He raised an eyebrow before motioning me to sit so I immediately sat down. "Since, Solanna is a new student here, who can go infront to tell something about the Academy?"

Aya was about to raise her hand but Diego spoke and it looks like he is still sleepy. "The Academy is like a hell jail— sometimes, but we're safe here and that's positive. I'll rate it 8.5 out of ten. The Professors? -10 out of ten, especially Professor Lu."

Aya's book easily hit Diego's head. "Are you crazy? Did you really say that here? Infront of a Professor?"

"What? I gave an honest review." He shrugged and winked at me.

Professor Dominic cough loudly so we looked at him. "Anyone who can give a good answer?"

"Yo, I answered and that was a good answer." Diego said quietly.

Aya stood up and pulled Diego's hair and he closed his eyes in pain. "I can do it. I answer more sensibly than Diego."

Diego looked at her and we saw how the water is now floating on top of Aya's head but before it fell the water flew towards Diego and he was the one who got wet.

Diego was about to stand up but he was stopped by a cold voice that spoke.

"Stop you two." Fire said, still looking infor. Even though he didn't look back, it was as if he knew exactly what was happening.

Aya went to the front and looked at us with a smile. "The Academy was built 16 years ago but there was actually a first Academy that was destroyed because of evil people. It took 2 years for the Academy to recover and they made sure that the protection of the Academy is stronger than before."
