Aki's POV
Okay, just another average day, listening to Sayer's incessant rantings of victory now that Yusei has joined the Arcadia Movement. Like I care. Now I might, just might, tell him I like him. I do like him. Sayer knows I like him. He said so. I probably should have denied it. Instead I just stood there like a speechless dummy. Now he is convinced I like Yusei, which I do, and is trying to tear me away from him. We have different schedules, and all that. Luckily, we still get to have rooms next to each other. Sayer can't anything about that. I walk into Yusei's room. He is lying on his back reading Wicked. I read that book a while ago. He turns over and looks at me. He looks into my eyes, and says, "You did? How does it end?"
"Huh? Whaddaya mean? How does what end?" I say, confused.
"Wicked. How does it end?" he says.
"How do you know I read it? Cause I didn't." I shoot back.
"Liar. You're thinking about it. Right? Oh, wait – now you're thinking about Satan." He says.
Hold it! You can read my mind?!
"Yes, but don't tell anyone." He says.
Holy crap! Not even Sayer? And am I ever safe when you're around?
"Especially not Sayer. And all you have to do to stop me from reading your mind is stop staring into my eyes." He says to me.
"Okay. Now I am officially weirded out," I say, looking down. "Oh, and by the way, before I find myself talking to an identical copy of myself, what else can you do?"
"Very funny. And no, you won't find yourself talking to an identical copy of yourself, though I probably could do that if I wanted to… but other than the mind thing, I can basically control water," he says.
"Oh? Show me." I say, skeptical.
It starts raining.
"I asked the crimson dragon about it, and he said that all psychics, at their highest level, have the ability to control one of the six elements; aquos, ventus, pyrus, sub terra, haos, or darkus. Apparently I am at my highest level," Yusei says to me.
"Um, in English?" I say, confused.
"Aquos is water, Ventus is wind, Pyrus is fire, Sub Terra is earth, Haos is light, and Darkus is darkness. Oh, and not that it really matters, but its kind of like a color wheel – in the way that the elements can combine across the circle to double in power. The combos go like this – Aquos + Ventus = Oxygen water, the most powerful combo, then comes Pyrus + Darkus = Black fire, the second most powerful combination, and then comes Sub Terra + Haos = Shining ground, the third most powerful combination." He explains. "Oh, and the highest level is called a Bankai."
"Holy crap." I say.
I wonder if I'll get my bankai ever.
If I do, I really hope its Ventus.
