Jury of Elementals

Academies have high trust issues. They want to make sure that they are training NA Elementalists with white auras.

It is not precise that the NA Elementalist has a white aura because things happens unexpectedly.

The Jury of Elementals are High Elementals whose Elemental Positions are unknown. They are the ones who clears the innocence of the NA Elementalist.

No one knew how they are absolute but no one seems to go far to know more about them.

When they are sure that the NA Elementalist has a white aura they say: I have nothing to oppose.

If not, they utter: Denegare. If this happens, the NA Elementalist then be put to sleep and bring into the underground cell to keep them in watch. No one knows what is beneath the Academy since only Head Masters and higher ups are allowed.

Xantra is indeed full of surprises.

CACADZII

It was silent ever since we got out from Master Mazi's office, or room, not mentioning the awkward feeling I felt towards Wendy. "Uh. Hey?" I asked, cutting off the chilly silence between us. She replied with a short mumble.

I looked away, hesitating and looking for way to talk. "W-well," that was all I could say but I must find a topic, a topic worth knowing. She curiously looked at me, waiting for my next response but it's taking too long so I asked what first came in to my mind," How is Gar my captor?"

She let out a chuckle, probably mocking me. I let out a straight face, warning her I wasn't happy by her mockery.

"He found you and brought you here." She replied, smiling widely at me. "It's even a miracle he caught a decent NA Elementalist." Her face then looked gloomy.

"Pardon me?"

"Y'know. Gar barely captures NA Elementalists since he's kind of unmotivated after what happened to him." She explained, slightly smiling. Just now she went blue.

"If you mind. What happened?" I curiously asked and turned my body to her, staring right on to her mesmerizing gloomy face.

He let out an exhausting sigh and replied, "Well. NA Elementalists that he captures mostly have Black Auras, or even worse, Violet. Though he is the only one who captures those NA Elementalists that we thought he can't detect a White Aura."

I stared blankly at her. It was too much to process it in my mind but one thing's for sure, it was uncalled for.

I then looked away, at the corridors when she spoke, "Because of the NA Elementalists he catches, many incidents and casualties would happen which made him unmotivated and feeling hopeless. He was isolated by the higher ups because he might have a Black Aura- which is not."

I nodded, looking at the corridor for a few more seconds before returning to look at Wendy. "Continue, please."

"The day you were Awakened, he escaped and hoped he could at least capture a NA Elementalist to change their opinions with him. . and it did. It was thanks to you who proved he's not a danger but rather gifted." She said and let out a wide smile. "That's why we will be here for you. Don't hesitate."
