after lots of constant searching azaki is still no where to be found, unknowing to them that azaki is at the pond that's at the back of the school.
Tashima : azaki where could he be?
Master yuzen : well there's one place we haven't checked yet and since he can't leave the school he has got to be there.
Tashima : then let's go.
MEANWHILE
azaki was at the pond questioning his himself and his abilities.
Azaki : what's wrong with me why can't I pass the tests, come on azaki get your head in the game.
moments later sobbing sounds are heard from somewhere close to where azaki is.
Azaki : huh what's going on?
azaki follows the sobbing sound to where to it's emanating from and finds out that a bunch of students are bullying a small boy probably just another student.
Bully 1 : look at him pathetic.
Bully 2 : maybe next time you'll learn to keep your mouth shut.
azaki could no longer tolerate the way the bullies were talking to the boy and stepped into the scene.
Azaki : hey what do you think you're doing, picking on a small defenseless boy why don't you pick on someone your own size.
the boys were much bigger and taller than azaki and the boy he was defending but he didn't care.
Bully 1 : hahahaha hahahaha you're way out of your league pipsqueak.
Bully 2 : yeah and if you know you don't wanna get hurt just like he did I suggest you get outta here and we'll forget we ever saw you.
Azaki : why don't you make me leave.
Bullied boy : stop you don't have to do this.
Azaki : my dad always says that what you don't stop will always stop you.
azaki walks towards the bullies and stands in a fighting posture.
Bully 1 : whatever kid you just got yourself a death wish.
the bullies walk towards opposite directions and also presume fighting stances.
Azaki : bring it on.
the bullies rushes him with punches and kicks unknowing to them that azaki has been taught martial arts from his dad, he takes a deep breath then begins dodging all their attacks leaving the bullies tired and exhausted.
Bully 1 : stay in one place so that I can hit you.
the bully says while trying to catch his breath.
Azaki : are you done? my turn.
azaki moves quickly and delivers a hard punch to bully 1 stomach causing him to put one of his kneel on the ground, not wasting any time azaki used this opportunity to give himself a jump boost and climbed bully 1 kneel with his left leg and threw a backflip thus using his right leg to kick bully 1 chin and his other incoming leg to kick bully 2 who was behind him. (to make this simple to comprehend imagine throwing a backflip with one person in front of you and another person behind you and the person in front of you is on his one kneel like as if he wants to propose to you? and then you climb his knee and throw a backflip and then while doing so you use your first leg to kick his chin and then before landing back to your original position you use your other leg to kick the person behind you. that's exactly what happened in that scenario, alright let's get back to the story shall we). immediately after azaki performed the stunt kick bully 1 flew back and fell to the ground therefore becoming unconscious while bully 2 staggered for a few seconds and then eventually fell down also.
Azaki : is that all you got? lame.
azaki pulls his attention from the beaten bullies and focuses it on the bullied boy, he walks over to him and helps him get up.
Azaki : are you okay?
Bullied boy : I am now thank you.
Azaki : no problem.
meanwhile bully 2 manages to get up.
Bully 2 : I've been holding back but not anymore punk.
the bully shoots azaki a fire ball from his hand that he created out of thin air using only focus and concentration.
Bullied boy : look out.
Azaki : huh?
azaki turns back and sees the incoming fire ball and blocks with his two hands, he slowly opens his eyes and realizes that he created a shield out of thin air that neutralized the bully's fireball(the shield was made of stone), soon later a voice is heard.
Master yuzen : that's enough.
Azaki : master yuzen it's not what you think, they were bullying him so I came to help and then....
Master yuzen : it's okay azaki I saw everything, so there's no need for you to explain, and as for you two.
master yuzen talking to the bullies
Master yuzen : I want you two to go back to the school and wait for further instructions on your punishment.
Bullies : yes sir.
after the bullies leaves master yuzen approaches the bullied boy.
Master yuzen : are you okay?
Bullied boy : I am thanks to him.
the boy says looking towards azaki.
Master yuzen : alright I need you to go back to your class okay?
Bullied boy : okay.
the boy leaves
Tashima : azaki you're so heartless, do you know how worried you made me? I had to check the whole school to find you, not only did you make me worried you also made master yuzen worried as well. I want you to apologise to him for running away.
Azaki : I'm sorry for running away and making you look for me.
Master yuzen : no need to apologise infact you should be happy.
Azaki : why?
Master yuzen : I'll tell you when we get back to class.
20 MINUTES LATER
Azaki : so master you told me you have good news for me, what is it?
Master yuzen : first of all I didn't say I have good news for you so that means that even the news I'm about to give you have be bad news. second of all there's no such thing as good news or bad news, there's is only news but indeed this one is good news.
Azaki : so what is it?
Master yuzen : alright do you remember when that bully shot you a fireball and you blocked his attack by creating a shield, how did you do it?
Azaki : I don't know I just wanted to be safe and the next thing I know there's a shield in front of me.
Master yuzen : turns out the shield was created from your thought and from your need to be safe.
Azaki : so what are you saying?
Tashima : oh my god you're an i***t, even a baby could understand what he's trying to say.
Master yuzen : okay tashima no need to be harsh anyway what I'm trying to say is that you used the ability of matter to creat the shield.
Azaki : did you just say matter as in one of the two most difficult to learn elements among the primary elements.
Master yuzen : yes.
Azaki : whooohoo !!!!!!!
azaki gets up and begin to jump up and down and then starts to dance out of joy.
Azaki : I did it, I really did it.
Master yuzen : yes you did and now that you have found your element it's time to move on to the next phase of becoming a kihatsu, learning how to use the elements.
