1 Week Later

-

We finally got out hero costumes~.

All of us were really happy with how they turned out. We all immediately went to the changing rooms before we went to the training area for the first time.

The training area is outside for whatever reason, but I still think it's nice.

There's a bunch of statues that I guess act as obstacles that we have to at least try and prevent ourselves from destroying.

But when I met up with everyone else, I got really excited. Everyone's costumes looked so cool~.

Mark's

Jeno's

Donghyuck's

Jaemin's

Chenle's

Jisung's

Jungwoo's

Lucas'

Taeyong's

Suko's

Leiyong's

And mine~.

"Woah Renjun-hyung~. So angsty!"

"Thanks Lele~. Yours is really cute~"

"Thank you~"

Everyone casually talked amongst themselves in a few separate groups.

Group One: Peter, Michael, and Ariana

Group Two: Mark and Donghyuck

Group Three: Jaemin and Jeno

Group Four: Jisung, Chenle, and me

Group Five: Taeyong, Lucas, and Jungwoo

Groups Six: Suko and Leiyong

Groups Seven and Eight consisted of everyone else in the class.

After a few minutes, Doyoung and Ten finally showed up.

"Alrighty. Now that you've all gotten your costumes on, we can being our first lesson. And that lesson is-"

"A Sparring Match!!"

Doyoung blurted out enthusiastically, interrupting Ten.

"Yes... A Sparring Match. We'll be back in a few minutes with your assigned opponents"

They left again, leaving all of us in shock.

"I wonder who they're gonna pin us up against!"

Chenle shrieked in excitement.

"Seeing that we know each other's powers, they might put us up against our other classmates"

I inquired.

"I'd hate it if they did. I wanna see how much stronger you guys have gotten myself!"

Jisung complained.

"Very true..."

10 Minutes Later

-

"We're back kiddies~!"

Doyoung cheered.

We all stood around nervously as they passed out colored papers to all of us. We each got either a light red or light blue paper, and they each had a number in the middle of it.

"Can I explain this one Ten~?!"

"Go ahead"

Ten sighed.

"Nice~. So! Each of you either have a red or blue paper. And they all have a number of them, along with the names of your opponents on the back of them. So now! Groups One, Two, and Three come here by me, and the rest of the groups go over there with Ten!"

Chenle and I looked at our papers. They were both blue, and they both had a 1 on it!

"Yaaaaay~! I get to fight with Renjun-hyung~!"

He cheered, and I softly pet him.

"I get to fight with Jisungie~"

"Oh god..."

I don't think Jisung liked the idea of fighting with Jaemin, but Jaemin was 100% onboard with this arrangement.

"I'm fighting with Yong Yong~"

"Yay~. I get to fight with Koko~"

Suko and Leiyong both cheered.

"Nice! We all get to fight together~!"

Ari cheered, tightly hugging Peter and Michael.

"I get to fight with Taeyong-hyung and the Krystal Kids~"

"You could've called me Elemental..."

Taeyong pouted at Jeno.

"How come Jeno gets to have three partners?!"

We all yelled at Doyoung, startling him.

"We had a good reason! Krystal Kids are Elemental's regalias. So he's only allowed to call them out one at a time, but he can use them in their regalia forms all he wants~!"

He explained, making Taeyong, Lucas, and Jungwoo happy.

"Sweet~. I get to fight with Mark-hyung~"

"Fire and Ice~"

"Hell yeah~"

Mark and Donghyuck high-fived each other enthusiastically.

"Wait. What color are your papers?"

I asked, and they all looked down.

"We're blue~"

Jaemin cheered.

"So are we~!"

Leiyong exclaimed.

"We're red"

Peter added.

"Red"

Said Taeyong.

"Red as my flames~"

Donghyuck said, making Mark chuckle.

"Who are your opponents...?"

I asked nervously.

"We're going up against Jaemin and Jisung~"

"Oh god..."

Jaemin and Jisung definitely didn't like the idea of fighting Elemental and the Krystal Kids.

"We're fighting Suko and Leiyong"

Peter informed, making Suko and Leiyong nervous.

"Looks like we're fighting Chenle and Renjun~"

Mark smiled, and Donghyuck smirked.

Chenle suddenly held my hand, and I felt it shaking. I honestly don't blame him. He's always been in the same category as Jaemin for being the weakest of our group. I was in that category too, until I started getting my powers.

But I'm at the biggest disadvantage.

Mark can easily freeze and shatter whatever plants I use, and Donghyuck can easily burn them to a crisp. I can't use my Animation, so that's out of the question.

I guess I could use my Decomposition when it comes to Mark using his Earth Flow. And I could always use my Whirlwind as a defensive maneuver if Donghyuck uses his fire from long-range.

My only successful option is to use my demonic powers. I never got the chance to read about my angelic powers, so I don't have a choice it seems. Unless...

I could look into it before our match!

"You'll each have ten minutes to prepare yourselves for your matches. You will have no access to any helpful material about your powers, since it's meant to be stress free and to help you relax"

Ten informed.

Fuck.

"Which means~. We're confiscating your phones and any other devices you might have~"

Doyoung also informed.

Fucking hell.

I'm screwed.

"So Group One, follow Jack Rabbit to the waiting room, and the rest of you follow me to the balcony seats"

Chenle, Mark, Donghyuck, and I followed Doyoung, who was skipping, to the waiting room.

I couldn't help but feel uneasy.

Why do I feel like something's gonna go wrong...?
