The New Life:

The beginning of Elemental life isn't a simple task. It requires conditions that are hard to obey and avoid.

Newly Awakened Elementalists are instantly seized by nearby Elemental Schools, whether it is against their will or not.

Captors-- if that's what they call them, are the ones appointed for capturing Newly Awakened Elementalists (NA Elementalists).

Of course, only those with White Auras.

On the other hand, NA Elementalists with Black Auras are tracked down to make sure they won't cause such ruckus all over Xantra. Although, there are organizations that tend to capture them, and turn them evil.

Captors roam around for 12 hours before switching with the Night Captors. They can detect auras that are starting to bloom. Before it does, they make sure to capture them.

I gently opened my eyes. Well, it wasn't a good sleep at all, since my head hurts like hell and my arms seem to not cooperate with me well.

I looked up to see the white ceiling, realizing that I'm resting on my bed. Wait, no, this is not my bed. Moving my head seems troublesome for me since my neck hurts where at any moment, my head would sever.

If I can recall, today should be the x2 coin event. I must not miss it. Since I can't move my head, it's even more difficult to get my phone. For how many attempts I did to move my head, I finally gave up and accepted the fate of staring at the white ceiling.

Sometimes, I wish I could just magically manipulate my cell phone so that I'll be in pea--

My thoughts were cut off, widening my eyes at the floating cell phone right above me. It was mine, and what any other ordinary people do, I screamed my lungs out making it fall hard on my face.

Because of that, I lost consciousness.

The second time I woke up, I felt something fluffy blocking my nose. Probably cotton balls. Did my nose bleed? I don't know!

I groaned under my breath as I tried to move my head, luckily it seemed to be cooperating with me now. I scanned to the right and noticed a stranger having teal-colored pigtails. My eyes met with hers, seeing right through my soul. She let out a wide smile where I could cease living at any moment.

Her gentle face failed to deceive me. I've encountered pretty faces and handsome faces on the road who turned out to be wanted criminals and I always fell for it. I won't let myself get deceived this time.

She's anxiously staring at me, perhaps trying to find a way to neatly dismember me.

The total awkward silence was cut off when the presumably-psycho girl staring at me yelled, "You're awake!" She then vanished from my sight. What the heck? Is this a hospital bed?

The girl must be an insane surgeon, not mentioning her strange hair color. I looked at her, who's now on my left. What is she trying to do?

I suddenly felt my back being elevated making me shout in pain. My back hurts like hell. Why haven't I noticed it?

The girl gasped at my sudden shout then, accidentally turned the tool used to adjust my bed reverse. This made me brutally drop on the bed. I could hear my bones crushing like twigs. It was so painful that my eyes shut.
