The next day they all went down to the bas.e.m.e.nt of Eureka's house, and was stunned to see it divided in different cubicles . Red, White, Blue and Brown .
"Every cubicle has a circle inscribed on the ground," Eureka started explaining . Pointing at the circles drawn on the floor .
"The colors are pretty obvious, Red is for Fire, White is for Wind and so on . You will squat in the middle of the circle, close your eyes then slowly release your energy . That energy will then activate that circle . But if youe not careful your own ability would consume you . "
Raven walked towards the cubicle designated for him .
"And how did you know about such thing?"
"It's not such thing, but a magical circle," Eureka replied .
"A magical circle, then how did you know of it? Our history have no record of it . "
"Our history have none . But others have . "
"How did you know it will work here then . "
"I have studied it for so long that makes me 100% sure that we could use it here . And I wouldn't suggest it, if it would only bring disaster and nothing more . "
"I see . We shall live it to you, our safety," Raven finally said before squatting .
The others followed, Azusa have already left early this morning to where Yukimura told her to be .
They then released their energies . At first they were feeling warm, but then they all felt incredible pain .
Raven felt like a fire was ignited under him burning his whole being . Mamoru and Karen felt like rocks started squeezing them . Hideyos.h.i.+ and Theo felt like the wind is trying to shred them into pieces . While Feena felt like she is being pulled into the depths of the ocean making it harder for all of them to breath, even opening their eyes are impossible .
"YOU GUYS ARE REALLY!!!"
That's the last sentence they heard before they felt all the pressure leaving them and falling unconscious .

Advertis.e.m.e.nt
"d.a.m.n, my whole body hurts," Raven muttered as he slowly sat up .
Looking around he is back to their room, on the other two beds were Hideyos.h.i.+ and Mamoru . Both are sleeping deeply . Looking ariund it's already dark .
The door slowly opened .
"What happened?" he asked as Eureka entered .
"You all didn't follow my instruction and decided to just go and release your energies at once . "
Her voice wasn't a quiet one causing the other two to wake up as well .
"Ouch, my whole body hurts," Hideyos.h.i.+ complained as he too sat up .
"It's already night?" Mamoru commented upon seeing the darkness outside .
"As I was saying, I told you to do it slowly . Where is the slowly in what you just did a while ago?" Eureka continued .
"You didn't explain what slowly means," Hideyos.h.i.+ complained once again .
"We should have started releasing our energies at the tip of our fingertips then slowly our arms and legs and so on until our whole body is releasing the energy . Eureka told us about that back when we all finished the first step of our training . Though even I forgot about that," Raven explained noticing how Eureka kept quiet after hearing Hideyos.h.i.+'s words .
"Oh that's right," Hideyos.h.i.+ said as he scratched the back of his head .
"Just rest for today, you will start all over tomorrow," Eureka said as she turned around .
"And what happened to your arms?" Raven asked .
Eureka's hand are bandaged until her elbow .
"I was doing something else when you all suddenly bursted with energy, I have no other choice but to render all of you unconscious . "
Raven seemed to think of something upon hearing her answer .
"How did you bring us all up?" Mamoru asked remembering that they were actually back on their beds .
"Those four were anxious and decided to check on you, well they were right on time . They were the ones who carried you here and checked on all of us . "
"Four?"

"The king, the headknight, the headmaster and the doctor . "
Hideyos.h.i.+ couldn't helpbut to start laughing . They all have their names but it seems that she just didn't want to use it .
"The doctor . Why would Akito be here as well?"
"It seems that while doing his rounds those three were anxiously pacing back and forth in the hospital wing of the castle . When he asked what's wrong, they all said that if something suddenly happened then they can just grab him and bring him here . He got a headache of seeing them so he had pulled all of them here . "
(Flashback)
"Eureka where are you? Can't they just watch what you all are doing?" Akito called out as the four of them entered the house .
It takes a while before a door suddenly opened at the side of the staircase . Akito started walking towards it when the other three didn't follow him .
"What are you still doing? She already opened the door for us . "
"But-" Kaoru wanted to say something but decided to not do so and just follow him . He wants to say that that girl must just have mistakenly opened the door then remembered that that will never be tha case .
"Eureka?" he tried to call out while the four of them descended the stairs .
"Please don't take your sweet time and come and help me carry this idiots?" they heard her call out from down below .
When they heards the word 'carry', they all run down and was greeted by the collapsed bodies of the other six .
"Raven," Yukimura called out and run towards his son .
"They're just unconscious," Akito a.s.sured them as he checked their pulse .
Then his eyes wet to Eureka, "You, on the other hand, seemed to be the one who is injured . "
The other three looked at her, leaning on the wall . Then their eyes went to her arms .
"Why are you injured?" Akihiro asked as he approached her and took one of her hands .
"I was doing something else when these idiots did suddenly bursted of energy, your highness," she replied .
"This is just the first day," Akihiro once again said .
"I already told you, I'd keep them safe as much as I can, your highness . "
"But I didn't tell you to go and be the one who's injured," Akihiro reprimended .
Eureka didn't answer .
"*sigh* Fine, you are stubborn anyway . Do whatever you want . But all of you must come out in one piece . And not in tatters . When I say all, I'm saying all, you included . "
"Yes, your highness . "
Eureka still uses her distant voice to him, but he also knows that he is at fault . She came from a place where life is being taken so easily and the only life you must take care is the life of those you hold dear .
"I'm sorry . I know I was wrong for saying those words towards you . Those words seemed like I was on their side, I was naive despite my age, that's why I really am sorry . So will you stop being so distant already?" he finally relented and asked .
"But isn't it that it was you your highness who wanted me to be respectful . I was just doing what you wished . "
"I know . But you do know why I said those right?"
"Maybe we can talk about this some other time, your highness . We still have some matter to attend to," Eureka instead dodged the subject .
"Seeing the other three carrying those unconscious ones, he could only sigh, "Fine I'll speak to you about this in the near future . "
He then went ahead and carried another one .
Akito checked them one last time before tending Eureja's arms, before they finally decided to leave .
"We will visit ones in a while," Yukimura said before they left .
(End of Flashback)
"Now get back to rest, I'll have to reinstruct you all tomorrow," she said before finally leaving .
*****
"So you finally decided to relent?" Haruka asked Akihiro that night .
"What do you mean?" Akihiro asked .
"Kaoru told me about it . How you apologized to Eureka," she then placed a cup of hot tea in his table .
"I just thought I have to do it or else I would really never be able to speak with her in the normal way," he answered as he picked up the cup and drunk from it .
This is their usual set up . They still sleep separately but they would have such a time every night . Talking about what happened to each of them every day .
"You will surely return to normal don't worry . I'm sure of it," Haruka smiled and told him .
Akihiro smiled back at her and drunk the remaining tea .
*****
"I have to remind you once again, slowly . You have to release your energies slowly . What you did yesterday was stupid enough . Don't try and kill yourselves at the beginning will you?" Eureka said the next day when all of them are back at the bas.e.m.e.nt .
"We're sorry," was what the girls could only say . Eureka have taught them about slowly releasing their energies while they were trying to control even the natural elements around them .
"Once you started releasing your energies . You will start feeling the pressure consuming you, once that starts then stop releasing and try your best to control that . Keep doing that until you could release all your energy . The time it takes for you to be able to finish this training shall be up to you . "
Determination once again could be seen in their eyes as they sat down on their designated areas .
