"Finally, senior year." Now where is Yoon Jeongh-
His thoughts were cut off when he heard a familiar voice.
"Shuaaaaa~ I'm so fucking tired" the boy was pouting.
"Yes Hannie, goodmorning to you too. Do watch your words. You're a prince afterall" said Joshua as he shakes his head at his best friend's antics.
"I'm only like this when I'm with u my dearest friend. You're lucky you get to witness this side of me" said the purple long haired boy with a smug face.
"Of course your majesty, I'm truly honoured. Now come on and hurry up you little parasite. We got Professor Leon first period and he hates tardiness" said Joshua as they both proceed to rush to the elite classroom located on the top floor.
Elemenzelle is the most prestigious school for elementals. They have a rich history and has retained much of it's beautiful architectural heritage.
Royalties who attend here will automatically be enrolled into the elite class because normally royalties have a stronger element and they're more in tune with their element due to their royal blood. Some royalties could also have been born with special gifts. However royals can still be kicked out of the elite class if they're not performing well and students who are not royalties but performs exceptionally well will be able to join the elite class.
Joshua and Jeonghan opened the golden door and was greeted by the sight of jihoon choking Hoshi while their other classmates we're chatting with each other.
"Jeonghan-hyung , Shua-hyung help me! I'm gonna get murdered on the first day of school" said Hoshi as he clawed at the hand on his neck.
"Now , now Uji , it wouldn't be nice to commit murder on such a beautiful day. Come and give your hyung a welcoming hug. I've missed you terribly" said Jeonghan as he stood at the door with his arms wide open waiting for a hug and a pout on his face.
"Hyung , we've literally just hung out together three days ago" said the pink haired boy with brows furrowed.
"B-but I've missed you during those three days" said jeonghan as he pouted even more. His arms was still wide open and it started to cramp. "I'm definitely aging" he thought to himself.
Jihoon eventually gave in to his favourite hyung and hugged him making jeonghan very happy on the inside.
Joshua's heart warmed at the sight. He also felt something else. Something not so nice. Jealousy. He brushed it off and concluded that it's just him being a selfish friend.
They settled at their respective seats once they heard the familiar chimes indicating that class is starting.
Professor Leon greeted them and began his class.
"Students, just a reminder that the MET (Monthly Elemenzelle Tournament) is happening soon so please work hard especially you four" he said as he pointed to the four seniors, Seungcheol , Jeonghan , Joshua and Junhui.
The elemenzelle tournament happens every end month. It's a fun event where all the students are able to proof themselves and have a chance to enter the elite class no matter the status. They also get to practice hands-on combat. It's a great way to improve their skills. However, It does put pressure on the elite class students. They'll have to work hard in order to prove themselves worthy of being in the elite class and keep their spot.
"We won't let our guard down, prof" said the class leader Seungcheol as the other three nodded.

"Sooo do u guys think we'll have a new addition to our class this year?" said Seungkwan as he sat at the lunch table beside Vernon and Seokmin.
"I heard a talented freshman enrolled this year. If he manages to be top ten in five MET consecutively then he'll most likely join us." said Mingyu happily.
"I heard of him. Lee Chan. He's from quite a prestigious family. Pretty sure he was the strongest in his previous school." said Wonwoo as he munched on his delicious looking lunch.
"Oh yeah Joshua what did you do during the break?" Seungcheol asked.
All eyes turned to Joshua waiting for his answer
"I just studied,practiced and made bracelets. Lots of it" said Joshua as he giggled.
"Aweee my Joshuji is so adorable, look at him , I wanna keep him in my pocket" the others rolled their eyes as jeonghan continued to coo at his best friend.
"Bracelets?" asked Junhui after jeonghan was done.
"Oh yeah, Joshuji picked up a new hobby. Look" Jeonghan showed his wrist which had two cute bracelets on it. One with an elephant pendant and the other one with a flower pendant. "joshuji made this for me. We have matching bracelets now" Jeonghan said proudly.
"Jeonghan stop it. You're such a child but I'm glad you like it" said joshua as he smiled at the older.
"Of course Joshuji~ I'll wear it forever" said Jeonghan as he smiled back.
"Ewww...for someone who said they have no romantic feelings, you guys sure do act like fools in love" said minghao. Others agreeing with him.
"Minghao, we're just really great friends" said joshua in a matter a fact tone.
"I don't know. Maybe Joshua has been secretly in love with me" said Jeonghan, a teasing smirk appearing on his face. "I mean who wouldn't have a crush on me. I'm gorgeous, charming,smart and strong. I'm per-" jeonghan was cut off by a finger that flicked his forehead.
"Ouch! That hurts! You're so cruel" said jeonghan as he crossed his arm
"Shut up you overly confident buffon and finish your food. Lunck break is almost over"
The others just giggled at the interaction. All of them we're just begging for one of them to realize their feelings and confess.
