CHAPTER 4: Workshopmates.

Blizard, Thunder, Lightness, Fire, Earth, Water, Darkness and Wind. The eight main elements in Alchemy. Alchemy can be used between Good and Evil. The element that resembles the evil sign is.... The Darkness.

Previously on 08 ELEMENTS, Star Class 1-2 had their first assignment that is to summon their own Mana. Ery tried to summon her own Mana but she ended up unconscious as a mysterious boy appeared as it says he is the Mana of Strength. 

HARUKA: Mana of Strength? Are you kidding me!? ERY IS FORBIDDEN TO USE LIGHT MAGIC TO SUMMON YOU! 

RYO: It's no lie. 

AZAYAKA: So that's why she went unconscious. 

BATTLER: But the other dark mages can use light magic easily. Why can't she? 

HARUKA: I don't know why... This happens all the time. 

BATTLER: Let's just take her to the infirmary. 

In the Infirmary... 

MELANIE: She's just lost her consciousness. I'm not sure why but she's fine. No health problems at all. 

HARUKA: Thank you, Miss Melanie. If you don't mind. May I see her? 

MELANIE: Of course. 

HARUKA: Thank you. 

Haruka ran away to see Ery's condition. 

BATTLER: Are you sure she's just unconscious? 

MELANIE: Unfortunately as a doctor, I don't really know about it. Her health is like a mystery. Her magic strength is not even low. 
AZAYAKA: Her magic strength is not even low..? 


HARUKA: Ery-chan... You idiot. You should at least summon a Mana that has nothing to do with Light magic. You do realize that you can't use that kind of magic. 
RYO: It's my fault for approaching the gate. 
HARUKA: It's okay... It's no one's fault.. 
ERY: *starts opening her eyes* Wh-Wha..? *gets up* Uggh... I got a headache... What happened? 
HARUKA: ERY-CHAN! *hugs her* 
RYO: Thank goodness you're okay. 
ERY: Hmm? *looks at Ryo* Who are you? 
RYO: I was summoned by you, Miss Ery Hanami de Valkyrie. 
ERY: ...I see.. 
AZAYAKA: Ah! You're conscious now. 
ERY: You guys don't have to get worried. It happened all the time. 
HARUKA: HAPPENED ALL THE TIME!? Yes it does happened all the time but YOU SHOULD KNOW YOUR WEAKNESSES. YOU.CAN'T.USE.LIGHT.MAGIC. 
ERY: E-err... Yeaahh... *sweatdrop* 
HARUKA: All you ever did was making me worried. 
ERY: I'm sorry. 


MELANIE: That's fast. So you're wide awake now huh? Miss Valkyrie. 
ERY: Yes. I can take care of my own now. 
MELANIE: Please do be careful. 


Outside the Infirmary on their way to the Workshop Hallway.. 
ERY: Well, I'm back on my feet now! No need to worry about me anymore! 
HARUKA: But don't get careless next time. 
ERY: Yeaahh...
AZAYAKA: So where next? 
BATTLER: Since we don't have a workshop to do alchemy. Let's try look around at the workshop hallway. 
ERY: Or just rent one.
AZAYAKA: But we don't really have that kind of money to rent it. 
ERY: Money you say? *looks at Haruka* 
HARUKA: What? Whatever it is. If it involves money, don't look at me because Radiata is short on cash. *walks away* 
ERY: Because of her spendings =w=.. Oh well.. *follows haruka* 
AZAYAKA: Hmm..? Battler, what's wrong? You look like something is bugging you. 
BATTLER: Nothing interesting though. It's just that. Ery left me curious about herself. What is she anyway? 
AZAYAKA: Yeah I'm also curious as well. Also, she is hiding something under her eye patch. 


Somewhere around the hallway... 
TIRED-LOOKING GIRL: We have to find someone to be in our workshop...before...our...workshop...gets...closed... *facegrounds* 
GORGEOUS-LOOKING GIRL(?): You know... You're such a lazy bum. This is the reason why you don't attract boys much. *folds her(?) arms* 
TIRED-LOOKING GIRL: Shut up you, 'beauty' freak! 
GORGEOUS-LOOKING GIRL: Are you trying to pick a fight with a beauty like me!? 
TIRED-LOOKING GIRL: Why... you little! 


AZAYAKA: Umm I'm sorry to interrupt you girls but I heard what you were talking about and we would like to be your workshopmates.
Both of the girls stare at Azayaka. 
BOTH: PLEASE DO JOIN US!! :DDD 


Both of the girls dragged Azayaka to their workshop while the others shrugged and chase them. When they arrived at their workshop...
BOTH: *drops Azayaka* WELCOME!~ 
AZAYAKA: *falls on her face* Ouch! 
BOTH: Now we shall introduce ourselves~
MICHIKO: My name is Ishikawa Michiko~ Call me Michi~ And here is Fujisaki 'Nadeshiko' 
NADESHIKO(?): Ohh... *looks at michiko with angry eyes* Yess... Call me Nadeshiko of course. 
HARUKA: I'm Ryuketsu Haruka. And here is... *pokes azayaka* Hinamori Azayaka... Wait- What did you guys do to her? 
MICHIKO: I wonder~? 
NADESHIKO: Yess... I wonder.. 
AZAYAKA: How dare you! As I thought we could make-out!
ERY: I'm Ery Hanami de Valkyrie. 
BATTLER: And I'm Battler Ushiromiya. 
MICHIKO: Actually, theres one more of us. But he didn't came on the first day of school. Well, he is the son of a well-known family. I'm sure he is busy haha. 
ERY: *is looking at nadeshiko*
NADESHIKO: *noticed* Hmm? What's wrong, Ery-chan? 
ERY: You're soo pretty... 
NADESHIKO: Ohh umm... I appreciate that. *smiles* 
MICHIKO: Snrk. 
AZAYAKA: Yeah.. I envy you Nadeshiko. I mean looking at your appearances.... THAT SILKY HAIR. THAT SMOOTH SKIN. THOSE SPARKLING EYES. If I was a guy, I would propose her right now. 
NADESHIKO: O-ohh... *sweatdrop* 
MICHIKO: Snrk.. You could just propose her now... Pfft.. 
AZAYAKA: *holds nadeshiko's hand* May I...? 
HARUKA: Whoa! Drama Queen has arrived. Yeah she is pretty... Hey Battler, is your heart pounding right now? XD 
BATTLER: Maybe... I don't know. Something is just not right. 
MICHIKO: Pfffttt... Kihihihihi...Ahhahhahaa Snrk. 
ERY: I wonder why Ishikawa-san is laughing.. 


The conversation turned animated. It's almost dark out they decided to go back to their dorms. While then in Ery's dorm.. 
ERY: So Ryo-kun.. You're my Mana now? Umm... Have we done a contract? I forgot...
RYO: Nope. You passed out when I came out from your gate. 
ERY: I see... Sorry bout that. 
RYO: So shall we start our contract? *holds ery's cheek* 
ERY: *looks at ryo's eyes as she blushes* Ohh umm.. Right... The contract... *looks down* 
RYO: May I? My master? 
ERY: Just...This once... 


Both of their faces gets closer to each other as they begin the contract. Ryo pressed his lips againts Ery's and so.. The contract begins... The story has finally begun.

CHAPTER 3: Summon The Mana of Your Dreams.

Blizard, Thunder, Lightness, Fire, Earth, Water, Darkness and Wind. The eight main elements in Alchemy. Alchemy can be used between Good and Evil. The element that resembles the evil sign is.... The Darkness.

Previously on 08 ELEMENTS, Haruka and Ery has finally entered in their class. But their classmates doesn't seemed pleased with Ery in their class. 

The first night in Al-Revis.... 
BAD ASS-LOOKING BOY: Tch... I won't let that Valkyrie girl get away... I'm gonna kill her one day. *smirks* 
''I wonder who is the one going to get killed first?'' 
BAD ASS-LOOKING BOY: Huh!? Who's there!? *turns around* Come out you coward! 
The voice chuckles ''I wonder.... Who is the real coward?'' A young girl finally appeared with a red flame coming out from her right eye. 
BAD ASS-LOOKING BOY: You're-!? 
''Let's get this over with.... I won't hold back anymore....'' She took out her blade with a strange aura on it and kill that boy. She left the body lying there and left the hallway. 

The next morning in Al-Revis... 
HARUKA: ERY-CHAN! *running in the hallway* 
ERY: *turns around* What? 
HARUKA: You walked too fast *pouts* 
ERY: Sorry about that... 
HARUKA: Have you heard the news around the campus? They say that the bastard who bullied you got killed! His corpse was left there in the workshop hallway... That's scary... 
ERY: Hmph.. He deserved it. *walks away* 
HARUKA: Maybe...... ._. 

In class... 
CHIAKI: *flipping her book* As you heard before... One of your classmates has been murdered. So please take care of yourself before you get murdered too. 
Silence in the classroom. 
AZAYAKA: I wonder what's the cause he get murdered? 
HARUKA: What do you think? 
AZAYAKA: I never knew that there would be a murderer around the campus. *looks at ery* 
ERY: *realized that azayaka is looking at her* Hmm? 
AZAYAKA: (Something is suspicious here....)


CHIAKI: *closes her book* Anyways, enough being sad or worry. What has happened has happened. We can't even turn the clock and change it back. So stop sobbing around. Being sad won't do anything. Now let's start with our lesson. Are you all ready? 
STUDENTS: Yes Ma'am.. 
CHIAKI: And I'm not even married yet... As all of you know, this world is surrounded by Mana. You must learn that there are special rules and at the same time, a mage must train itself to use it correctly. Magic is a supernatural power. To control it, we must use the power of spirits. Ushiromiya Battler, would you care to explain what Mana exactly means? 
BATTLER: Yes, Ma'am.. *stands*
HARUKA: *stares at him* 
BATTLER: Mana is known as a familiar that helps each alchemists to do their alchemy. But other than familiars, Mana can also be a Myth Creature that is more powerful than just familiars. A Mana has their specialty on their skills and magic. They cannot learn anymore than their specialty except for Lilith, the Mana of Creation. 
CHIAKI: Good. Now let's all get going to the school field. We'll be doing your first assignment. 


On the school field... 
AZAYAKA: Bigger than I expected~ *looking around* 
HARUKA: Tch~ Bigger than my N-Field. 
AZAYAKA: You have your own N-Field!? 
HARUKA: Well yeah. Every mage have them. 
AZAYAKA: Cool. I haven't create my own N-Field yet because I'm lazy. Besides.. I don't know what theme to put it. What's yours? 
HARUKA: Chessboard and chains. 
AZAYAKA: Nice combination *smirks* 


CHIAKI: Now, all of you please concentrate. This is very important to all alchemists and mages so you must concentrate on what I say. The rule is simple. All you have to do is concentrate on what type of Mana you want to summon. 
ERY: What about the spell? 
CHIAKI: There are no spell. 
AZAYAKA: No spell? Then how can we summon it then? 
CHIAKI: Use your full concentration of magic and the type of Mana you want. 
ERY: Concentrate huh? Hmm..
CHIAKI: Haruka-sama. *looks at haruka with a smile* 
HARUKA: Y-Yes!? What's with that smile of yours? 
CHIAKI: Do you mind? 
HARUKA: I KNEW YOU WERE TARGETING ME FROM THE START! 
BATTLER: *holds back a laugh* 
HARUKA: WHAT WERE YOU LAUGHING AT!? Tch... 

Haruka grabbed her wand and walks infront of the students. She took a deep breathe as strong winds came through. A magic circle that shows the 8 elements appeared under her feet as her wand starts shining. She starts thinking about the dream Mana of hers.
HARUKA: O' Holy Creature. Come forth and reply my call. I summon you with the great Elemental Charms of thy world. Answer me, Mana of Wishes! 
A pure white silver lion with wings and a giant diamond crown on its head appeared before Haruka. Everyone gasped and took a closer look. Haruka really did it. She finally summon her own Mana. 

CHIAKI: I see you've summoned yourself a Mana of Wishes. It's not easy to summon one of them. 
HARUKA: What do you expect from Haruka-sama? Hmm Hmm~
CHIAKI: Failness. Oh well, since you passed. I'll put this as your extra marks for your exam. 
HARUKA: WE HAVE EXAMS? 
CHIAKI: Yes.
HARUKA: Oh god why. 


Haruka walked away from her spot and had a conversation with her new Mana. 
HARUKA: So you are the Mana of Wishes eh? 
MANAofWISHES: If I'm not mistaken, you were the one who summoned me right? 
HARUKA: Exactly *grins* So let's get this over with. Do you agree to work with me on Alchemy? 
MANAofWISHES: *bows* If that's what my mistress wishes for.  
The ring on its' head shines and makes another appears on Haruka's finger. 
MANAofWISHES: This ring shows the contract between us. 
HARUKA: Oh~ Diamond... Perfect. 
MANAofWISHES: As for your information... My name is Asphera. You can call me out anytime you need me. *disappears into light* 
HARUKA: I have no regrets...


CHIAKI: Hinamori Azayaka? 
AZAYAKA: Yes Teacher! *raises her hand* 
CHIAKI: Please summon your Mana. 
AZAYAKA: My pleasure~ *stands in her pose* O'Holy Dragons of Darkness! 
ERY: (Darkness?... She's a Dark Mage..?) 
AZAYAKA: Come forth and answer my call! 
Azayaka's both eye shines and a black hole appears. A huge shadow came out from the black hole. Everyone has fears in their eyes hoping it's not something too frightening. A dragon came out with bunny ears on its head. 
ERY: BUNNY EARS!? 
HARUKA: WEhh?? 
AZAYAKA: I just had it to imagine it cute~ 
HARUKA: A deathly dark dragon with bunny ears looks wrong.. 
AZAYAKA: Haruka-sama you are so mean. 
HARUKA: No, I really mean it. 


A few minutes later, everyone in Star Class 1-2 has summoned their own Mana while the Valkyrie girl, Ery was sitting there looking at everyone with their new Manas. 
HARUKA: Yo Ery-chan! Hey what's up? Why aren't you summoning your Mana yet? 
ERY: I don't even have an idea what kind of Mana to summon. 
HARUKA: Hmm... A Mana that follows your personalities? 
ERY: Like what? 
HARUKA: *stares* Umm... errr.... uhh... Death? 
ERY: Thanks... You make me feel worse.. 
HARUKA: I DIDN'T MEAN TO HURT YOUR FEELINGS! 
ERY: It's okay... It's the truth... 
BATTLER: How about a Mana that could protect you? 
ERY: *turns around* That could protect me? From what? 
BATTLER: Anything of course. 
ERY: I don't know...
HARUKA: Go and give it a try *thumbs up* 
ERY: *looks at Haruka* I'll try *nods* 


Ery stands infront of two of them. She has a serious look on her face and remains focus. She doesn't even have a wand but she used her pointing finger to use the magic. 
ERY: Guardians of eight. Bring forth a creature that may fight in Justice. A strength that no other that can defeat! 
A strong magic power was being sensed around the campus. Everyone looked towards Ery. 
ERY: Ugh.... A-Answer...m-my...c-call... *collapsed* 
HARUKA: Ery-chan! *runs towards ery* 
A boy with a black silver hair appeared and catch Ery. He carries a sword on his back and wears a black cape. Haruka stopped running and was shock to see that boy appeared before her so suddenly. 


HARUKA: Wh-Who are you? 
MYSTERIOUS-BOY: *holding Ery in his arms* I was summoned by this girl. Therefore, I am the Mana of Strength, Hyuuga Ryo. 
HARUKA: Mana..of Strength? 
BATTLER: Haven't I seen you before?

Blizard, Thunder, Lightness, Fire, Earth, Water, Darkness and Wind. The eight main elements in Alchemy. Alchemy can be used between Good and Evil. The element that resembles the evil sign is.... The Darkness.


A few years later since Haruka and Ery became friends, they both decided to go studying on Alchemy since Haruka was interested. 


There they are... Al-Revis Academy... 
HARUKA: This is it Ery-chan! We are finally gonna enroll into this Academy! It's where all the well-known Alchemists came from! 
ERY: It's a good thing that Tsukasa-san let us go into an academy. 
HARUKA: Well, Chiaki is the one of the teachers here-- Wait what? 
ERY: Chiaki-'sensei'..? *blinks* 
BOTH: WE'RE DEAD!! 


In the school auditorium... 
HARUKA: Whoa!! It sure is huge! 
ERY: You don't have to act like a child. *sweatdrop* 
HARUKA: Haha... Well it is my first time! 
ERY: Me too... *sighs* 
PRINCIPAL: Welcome to all freshmen this year! I will be your principal for your whole 3 years studying.. 


NOSY-LOOKING GIRL: Hey, let's skip for his speech. I heard from the other seniors that he's speech is long and lame. 
GIRL WITH PONYTAIL: You're right. It'll waste my time. Hey, I know! We should go and wander around campus! 
HYPERACTIVE LOOKING GIRL: *interupting them* If you do. Make sure the teachers won't caught you *winks* 
Both of the girl looking at her and they looked away. 
HYPERACTIVE LOOKING GIRL: Hehe... I'll make sure no trouble makers in this academy too.. *as she walked to her seat* 


After the Principal's speech... 
ERY: Oh damn... My butt hurts by just sitting here for hours... *looks to her left* Hmm? 
HARUKA: *snoring loudly* 
ERY: HARUKA-SAMA!? 


On their way to their class.. 
HARUKA: Soo uhh... What did the principal talks about? 
ERY: Well, just about the subjects that we're gonna take and the importance of alchemy and--
HARUKA: *covers Ery's mouth with both of her hands* Okay that's enough. 
ERY: *sweatdrop* 
HARUKA: So where is our class will be? 
ERY: Well, we are in Star Class 1-2 
HARUKA: It's a good thing we are in the same class.
While on their way, a hyperactive looking girl is standing in their way with both of her hands on her hips. She was smiling at both of them.. 
HYPERACTIVE LOOKING GIRL: I was looking for you two! 
ERY: What? *blinks* 
HARUKA: Who? *blur* 
HYPERACTIVE LOOKING GIRL: *laughs* I'm sorry. I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Azayaka Hinamori. Nice to meet ya! 
HARUKA: Have we meet before? 
AZAYAKA: *laughs* Nope. Well, I did heard rumors about you. *grins* Now come'on! Our class is this way. 
ERY & HARUKA: *looks at each other* *shrugs* 


HARUKA: So then.. Why were you looking for us? 
AZAYAKA: *turns around and grins* Who does not want to be friends with the Queen of Radiata? 
HARUKA: So that's it? 
AZAYAKA: Exactly. 
ERY: So what does it have to do with me then? 
AZAYAKA: Of course you are Haruka-sama's partner so then I can't separate you both away. *laughs* 
HARUKA: Oh? 
AZAYAKA: And now.. Welcome to Star Class 1-2! 
Azayaka opened the door as everyone in the class looked at their way. The noisy class suddenly went quiet as they were staring at Ery.
ERY: Um? 
HARUKA: *laughs* New friends huh? Hello everyone! 
AZAYAKA: Now now... Don't gave them the cold shoulder *sweatdrop* 
PUNK-LOOKING BOY: What is the final Valkyrie doing here? 
SNOBBY-LOOKING GIRL: Is our class gonna get cursed with her in here? 
Everyone starts laughing and continue to talk bad thing about Ery. Ery just stood there and doesn't even respond to any of their words. She just walked to her own seat as there was another boy stood infront of her. 
BAD ASS-LOOKING BOY: Hey Sunnava Bitch. Why aren't you answering us? You scared, bitch? 
GIRLY-LOOKING GIRL: *pulls her hair* I can't believe she is THIS WEAK! 
AZAYAKA: STOP IT GUYS! RESPECT THE OTHER STUDENTS! 
BAD ASS-LOOKING BOY: Shut up, Azayaka! I'm settling this once and for all! *took out his sword* 
SNOBBY-LOOKING GIRL: Whoa! Are you serious? 
BAD ASS-LOOKING BOY: It's for justice! To save the world from getting killed! 
ERY: Fine... Kill me now. 
AZAYAKA: Stop it guys! 
Suddenly a scythe with a chain thrusts towards that boy as it sliced half of his stomach. 
BAD-ASS LOOKING BOY: Ouch! What the? 
HARUKA: *walks towards that boy* One does not simply.... Tease Ery-chan infront of me... *death aura* 
BAD-ASS LOOKING BOY: SHUT UP BITCH! WHO ARE YOU TELLING ME WHAT TO DO!? 
HARUKA: In case if you forgot, Al-Revis Academy is an academy in the land of Radiata. And I can always kill you in MY land because I'm the Queen of Radiata. 
PUNK-LOOKING BOY: Bitch! She's right! Let's get out of here before we get killed! 
HARUKA: I'm killing you all who tease Ery-chan NOW! And there's no holding back!
AZAYAKA: *Claps* Blood splatter time~


TEACHER: All of you! Get back to your seat! 
The students in the class looked infront of the class and quickly went to their seats when they noticed it was the teacher. 
ERY: Isn't that? 

TEACHER: My name is Nakamura Mizuiro Chiaki. And I will be your homeroom teacher this year. 

HARUKA: We are dead. 

CHIAKI: Welcome to everyone in Star Class 1-2. *smiles* 

ERY: I wanna die now....

CHAPTER 1: Smile.

Blizard, Thunder, Lightness, Fire, Earth, Water, Darkness and Wind. The eight main elements in Alchemy. Alchemy can be used between Good and Evil. The element that resembles the evil sign is.... The Darkness.


The daughter of the Valkyrie family was the only one who is a Dark mage in the Light family. She was used to be a cheerful girl but one day, a black rose grew deep within her heart. Making her dreams fade away and accidentally killed her own family.


''Why? Why must it be this way? I didn't mean to...'' She started crying. The black rose grew bigger. ''I don't want to kill them...'' 


While then, the High Councils of Radiata were having a meeting in the conference room. 
NOBARA: We should hurry and capture her soon before more people gets murdered. 
TSUKASA: I can't believe that it's one of the Valkyries.. 


''Why don't you just hunt for her and make her my playmate. I got bored wandering around the castle alone with no friends'' A girl came in to the conference room as all the councils looked at her way. 


CHIAKI: Haruka-sama, you should know it's dangerous for a little girl like you. 
HARUKA: I noticed that. Besides, she's just a human at a same age as mine. Everything will work as fine as it is. *grins* 
TSUKASA: I'm a bit worried here. 
HARUKA: I'll make sure I'll change her. 
NOBARA: If that's what Her highness says so. 
TSUKASA: A young child being the Queen. I hope she gets what her job is.


A few months later in Radiata... 
HARUKA: Heyyy whats up? It's been years I've been waiting for your guys to hunt for that Valkyrie girl! Is it really that hard!? 
MAID: Please just wait a little longer. It seems that the Valkyrie is wandering around the world. 
HARUKA: Tch. What a pain in the ass. 


Then suddenly, the knights of Radiata entered the audience hall to make some news for the Queen...
KNIGHT: Your Majesty, we have found her. 
HARUKA: Finally, I've been waiting for ages! *walks out from the audience hall* 


MAID: That girl.. She must remember that she doesn't even have a royal blood... 


In the castle basement... 
HARUKA: What gives? Why did you locked her in prison?
TSUKASA: To make sure she won't do anything suspicious. 


They arrived where the girl is. The girl seemed to be frightening.. She was shivering in horror. She slowly backs away when she saw Haruka standing infront of her. 
HARUKA: *sits on her knees* Hey what's wrong? 
''I'm sorry... I'm sorry... I'm sorry'' 
HARUKA: Why are you apologizing? 
''I'm sorry... I'm sorry... I'm sorry...'' She held her head down. 
HARUKA: Tsukasa, unlock the gate. 
TSUKASA: Yes, You're Highness. *unlocks the gate* 
HARUKA: *walks in* Nee... You... What's wrong? 
''Please don't come near me...'' 
HARUKA: It's okay.. There's nothing to be scared of... *holds her hand out* 
''I'm dangerous....'' 
HARUKA: You're not...
The girl looked at Haruka with tears in her eyes.
HARUKA: So please tell me... Your name.. 
''My name is--'' She held her breath for a while and looked down... ''Ery Hanami de Valkyrie'' 
HARUKA: That's a nice name you got there. Ery-chan, please smile.. 
ERY: *looks down* 
HARUKA: Smile... It's the only way to greet people. *smiles* 
ERY: *looks at Haruka* I-I...
HARUKA: *hugs Ery* It's okay. I get your feeling. Killing people is the worst nightmare. So just smile to forget what just happened. 
ERY: *starts crying* H-Haruka-sama... 
HARUKA: *smiles* Now don't cry. I'm here. I'll be your friend from now on. 
ERY: *smiles a bit* Arigatou, Haruka-sama!
