1.4 | The assembly

Headmasters:

Every Elemental Academy has a certain person who controls all of the Academy. They are called Headmasters and they are either be a graduate of an Elemental Academy or a member of Ancient Elementals, the titles of the First and Second Generation Elementalists.

Unfortunately, most of the Ancient Elementals refuse the position of being a Headmaster. The Academy would be more than grateful if the Headmasters are from the Ancient Elementals.

CACADZII

We stood in our places for quite a long time before proceeding inside the room. Master Mazi's gaze was locked on to us for quite a long time until, "Please, take your seat." He offered in a stern voice as he pointed at a long firm oak table surrounded with firm oak chairs in front of the arch mahogany table where his other hand is placed on. Mahogany and Oak? How come two of the different types of woods in the same place? Is this even normal? I don't know since I'm used to one type of wood.

The expression on Master Mazi was kind of terrifying, not in a creepy way but it's like he had killed people in his free time. He looks psychopathic than Wendy, Gar, and Law, not mentioning the scars all around his face.

As chills ran down my spine, I sat on the chair that is furthest from Master Mazi's. Who knows what he can do with his sword.

It's kind of bewildering by the fact that no one sat on the opposite chair as mine and instead, sat a seat apart from me. Law was the nearest to me and beside him is an empty chair and Wendy. Gar on the other hand, sat on the opposite of the empty beside me.

It feels like nobody dared to go further from Master Mazi.

A statuesque lady with a black ponytail and wearing formal clothes behind us went to Master Mazi bringing a pile of papers. She gently put the papers beside Master Mazi before bowing and taking her leave.

Kind of bothered by the spacious feeling I'm feeling, I turned my back to see an extension of the room where there is a mezzanine imitating the circular room. There are arched pillars distributed evenly. The marble railings were in front of a set of seven people wearing long cloaks and hoods, covering almost all of their faces. Though the colors of their long cloaks differ.

There are also sets of banners on each railings where seven people stood, there are some railings where there are no people. Their banners seem to have the same insignia, but differ in color which is the same as their respective cloaks.

"Cacadzii Tornros of City E, Kelsisha. Age, 17. Element, Ice. Daughter of Ronan Tornros and Schanelle Primrose," said Master Mazi as he firmly held a piece of paper, probably from the pile of papers the lady brought.

I went silent for a moment until the cloaked people went whispering to one another, no matter how much I listened, I couldn't understand a single word from them.

"There's no wonder why you have an Element. Especially Ice since your parents are both Ice Elementalists-- no, Ice Celestials rather," he continued before setting the paper aside.

I frowned in confusion and finally gained the courage to ask, "You knew my parents?"

"Execute her." The man standing before the green banner bluntly said. What the hell? Just now I am ordered to be killed?

"Don't f**king execute her," said the lady from the sky blue banner. Wow, what a use of language.

The person before the red banner turned his/her head to the direction of the lady from the sky blue banner. "Ms. Rozen, Ice Elemental, please refrain yourself from inappropriate words," said the person, the man.

Am I in trouble? These people around me look superior. Not mentioning the formality and the choice of their words.

I looked down in fear before looking at Wendy, Gar, and Law who are looking at the cloaked people. "Who are they? What is this?" I panicky asked Law.

He looked at me and put a finger on my mouth."It's part of the procedure, please calm down," replied Law with a calm voice. Procedure? What procedure? Do I look like a criminal? Not mentioning the man saying I should be executed?
