Elemental

22. Training

Fai

Not gonna lie, I was pretty stunned when she mentioned a training center.

Tai and I exchanged a knowing look. JBug was about to say something else when we bolted down the stairs.

Whoops.

Tai and I were laughing, racing in excitement. The stairs took fucking forever though! I swear it felt like we were running in circles for a good 2 minutes.

Another round of fucking irritating ass stairs and I was about to give up when I finally saw the concrete.

What I saw left me breathless.

A never ending training space to my left and right with our different element stations.

The nearest one was water. A large rectangular pool that was about knee high, filled with fresh water. A blue glow on the cool floor. I walked over in awe.

"Holy shit! Dude look!" Tai yelped.

I turned around, and laaawwdddd was I in shock. There was a large ass muthafuckin fish tank on the wall, the only empty space being the stairway we came from.

Explains the blue glow.

There were all kinds of sea friends in there! Sharks, swordfish, crayfish, sea horses, lobsters, crabs, octopus, squid, YOU NAME IT!

"Goddess," I whispered. I've never seen anything so beautiful in my life.

"Wow, you guys beat us here even when we took the elevator." Rita laughed.

Wait. Hold the fuck up. "An elevator? There was an elevator?!"

JBug joined us. "I tried to tell you but you two took off before I could. Maybe stay and listen for a little?"

"Biiiiiiitch," I rolled my eyes.

"The bullshittery is real," Tai huffed.

"Haha! It's fresh! Oh my gosh I love it!" Lila was already had her damn shoes off, knee deep in the pool.

"Try it out," Ariah smiled.

"Say no more," Lila danced in the water, gracefully lifting her hands up. Water obeyed her, shooting up in beautiful spirals. They curved and dipped and formed into a word.

HOME.

We applauded her.

She bowed, finally noticing the aquarium behind her. "OHMIGOSH I MISSED YOU GUYS!!!!!!"

She ran outta the pool, hugging the glass. All the creatures swam to her, excitedly pounding against the glass. I flinched, still not used to the sight of creatures loving her.

"Awwww did you miss me too? Yes, you haaaave. Yes you haaave been a good boy." She cooed like they were pets.

"I don't know whether to find that creepy or beautiful." RM whispered next to me.

Ugh this fucker with his ignorant insults.

"Alright that's it. Time for your training Mr. Kim, follow me." I walked away, trailing the strong pull of fanua that's been calling me since I got down here.
