Elementalists
Chapter 04 - Call Center

"Young master.....young master.....have you woken up?"

The sound of Mr. Tora breaking the stillness of his quiet room, Arya opened her eyes staring at the ceiling of the room for a while.

"Young master?"

"Mmm.

"Thank God you're awake, I beg you to quickly prepare young master. You didn't forget, did you? You got a call today."

"Yes, five more minutes" he said, covering his head with a pillow.

Right, today he has a promise to fulfill the call. He could not have forgotten that, because Mr. Hartoso asked for it. But, this was the first time he had gotten a call to face the Research Center. I don't know what's going to happen there, he doesn't know, actually today he wants to relax because of the holiday and also caused by his body that is still stiff due to his encounter with the fire woman named Asuna yesterday.

"Young master?" call Mr. Tora again.

"Yes-yes I'm awake" he said annoyed.

Unhappy to be disturbed continuously by the call from Mr. Tora, he immediately got up from his bed and got ready. He takes a shower and dresses in just a few minutes, men don't need long in the bathroom do they? Mmm...except doing something else like.

He immediately headed for the dining room for breakfast, this time sandwich huh? No problem anyway. The important thing is that someone can block his stomach, he ate with a gluttonous with Mr. Tora who stood beside him while waiting patiently.

"Actually I can go alone sir, you don't have to drive me"

"Can't be young master, I have to drive you to your destination safely" he said firmly.

Arya raised her eyebrows to hear that answer, how important is this call? Isn't this the same as Mr. Hartoso used to do? But, it's just a different place. After breakfast he headed to the sink to wash his hands while glazed, he wore the clothes he used to wear, a white T-shirt lined with his blue jacket combined with jeans as his bottom.

"Are you sure you're wearing that young master's outfit?" ask Mr. Tora doubtfully.

"Well, what's the formal dress for? I'm just gonna meet my dad"

"I also hope so young master, well let's go"

The two of them came out of the house, Arya was startled by what was waiting for her outside. A car was waiting for him there. Until I have to get picked up? Really? What is this?.

Their car drove to the research center smoothly, on the way Arya just saw the scenery outside the window without saying anything. Mr. Tora looked at him carefully while speechless.

"What actually happened sir?" arya asked finally breaking the silence.

"What do you mean young master?"

"It's not an ordinary call, is it? I have to be escorted and picked up like this it feels weird"

"I wish I knew what was going on, young master"

Arya turned her head and looked at the old man's face for a while, her eyes showing a clear seriousness. So he doesn't know what's going on either? He was just doing the job he was given.

Without them noticing they had reached the Research Center, the huge and majestic building loomed before them. This is the first time Arya has visited here, there are several reasons. The first one he was not interested in what was inside, the second one this place was closed to the public.

Their car drove towards the entrance after passing the guard post guarded by the guards in tanned uniforms while carrying a weapon with a strange shape that Arya suspected as one of the weapons developed on the spot these.

They got off the car right in front of the entrance of the Research Center, again there were guards like the one at the guard post guarding the entrance. Mr. Tora showed them the license and they let the two in. Inside was a very large room and was filled with people in white research robes. The place was all white, from the floor, walls, even the high ceiling was white.

Arya looked at the surroundings while continuing to follow Mr. Tora who led their journey, finally after a few minutes of walking they seemed to reach the room they were headed, Mr. Tora stopped there. That door also has a guard, really? There's a guard inside? What is this?.

"You can only drive him here" said one of the guards.

Tora turned her head and looked at Arya with a sad face.

"It looks like I can only escort you here young master"

"It's okay sir, I can handle this just relax"

"Well then, see you young master"

"See you, you don't have to be sad as soon as we meet again" Arya said as she walked into the room.

After entering the room, Mr. Tora's voice faintly sounded "I hope so too" but before Arya had time to look back at Mr. Tora. The door of the room was closed.

The room was very dark, very different from the room he had passed before. There were only small lights on Arya's left and right that were like guiding her to the center of the room. He followed the lights and finally came to a large circle illuminated by the lights. Instantly he knew that this was right in the middle of the room.

Arya realized that in the room there was no one but herself, she waited for a while and put her arm in her pants pocket. Then suddenly appeared nine portable screens in front of him. On each screen appeared faces, one of the faces that appeared there was a face that he was very familiar with which was none other than Mr. Hartoso himself.

"The last one has come" said one of the people on the screen.

"Hello Arya, how are you?" greet Mr. Hartoso from the screen.

Arya just nodded in response, she still did not understand about this situation.

"Don't take too long Mr. President, shouldn't we be quick" said one of the men on the screen

Arya recognized that person, she had seen him on tv. George Washington, President of the United States. After Arya noticed for a while, she recognized the people on the screen. They are the leaders of the great nations of the world.

"Can you give me time to say hello to my son for a moment Mr. Washington" said Mr. Hartoso.

"Hemm son he said" said the President of the United States.

"What's wrong with thinking of them as our own children" asked one of the men sharply.

Arya knew the one who asked that, she was Hiroshi Masamune. Prime Minister of Japan, wow important people are gathering here, in front of him.

"That's arguably"

"What's the Point....."

"Followly, I implore you to calm down Mr. President, Mr. Prime Minister" Mr. Hartoso said.

Arya just shook her head without saying anything.

"This is where I'm going to tell you the truth, and to the leaders of the countries that are here"

Arya's eyes were wide open hearing Pak Hartoso's words, is this about his mother?

"What do you mean by the truth" asked George Washinton, sounding annoyed.

"I.....have not told Arya who she really is" said Pak Hartoso.

His words made the eight others surprised instead of dumbstruck, it was evident from the expressions they made. Arya has not understood what Pak Hartoso meant, she just wants to know about her mother, not herself.

"Huh.....what is the makasud? You're shirking the task that was put on you?" the George Washington.

"And what duty is Mr. Washington?" replied Mr. Hartoso calmly.

"We must train those entrusted to us in order to be the protectors of mankind"

"I never remember anything like when Arya was entrusted to me"

"What........!!!" george Washington shouted.

"Truely, I have never heard those words either" Hiroshi Masamune said.

The leaders of other countries also agreed to this.

"But I do not agree with keeping the truth a secret to them Mr. President" Hiroshi Masamune told Mr. Hartoso.

"It was just my own selfish desires actually" replied Mr. Hartoso.

"We were not given the job to train them, that's why we brought them here. But to tell about the truth? I think you should be wiser Mr. President" said Hiroshi Masamune.

"I just want him to grow up like a normal kid"

"HUHH.....? you must be kidding me! That is his duty" said George Washington.

"I beg you to be quiet for a moment Mr. Washington, but he is right Mr. President, it is their destiny" said Hiroshi Masamune.

"That's why I'll tell him right now here, before he leaves" Mr. Hartoso said.

Gone off? Whither? Arya who from earlier heard carefully became confused at what she had just heard.

"Arya, you're actually a.......Elementalist" Pak Hartoso told Arya.

Arya was not too surprised to hear that, she had already expected that her ice strength was something special.

"It seems you are not too surprised to hear that" said Mr. Hartoso with a smile.

"Well....you know? I read a lot of things" Arya replied.

The leaders of other countries were surprised to see the response from Arya.

"Then about your mother"

This is what Arya had been waiting for she wanted to know about her mother.

"Your mother left you to me when you were a child, actually the Elementalists left you with us, the leaders of the country"

So I see......we Elementalists entrusted by our parents to them? But......for what?

"Honestly, I don't want you to be an Aryan Elementalist" Mr. Hartoso said.

George Washington looked like he wanted to cut the talks so Mr. Hartoso sped up.

"It's related to your mother's request"

The leaders of other countries were silent and looked at each other, while Arya still listened to all the words of Pak Hartoso carefully.

"Your mother asked me to raise you as a child in general, not as a weapon, nor as a protector of mankind"

"You've done well Dad" Arya said with a smile.

He smiled at the words of Arya.

"I can't tell you more about your mother Arya"

He was disappointed to hear Mr. Hartoso's words.

"But I know who can tell you. And you'll meet them soon"

Ohh...really? she could not wait to ask about her mother.

"And......Arya your name is not just Arya. Arya is the name given to you by your mother. And your clan is Frost, Arya Frost it's your name."

Wow....finally he found some puzzle pieces in his head began to be complete, this way he could get closer to the truth about his mother.

"And it seems like this is our farewell" said Mr. Hartoso looking sad.

"What do you mean, we'll see each other again soon, right?" arya said as long as she spoke.

"Well see you" said Pak Hartoso happily.

Suddenly the big circle in the middle of the room opened and made Arya fall into the big hole, the hole was open and very dark inside. He could not see the basics. It was like a leisurely pass through the core of the earth, a hole that would somehow take it.

And what will be waiting for him at the end of this hole? Wasn't enough of the surprise she had received in just this day?.
