Namjoon: Wake up. We’ve arrived.
Not sure when I ended up in his arms, I slowly pulled away while holding my dizzy head. It felt like we had teleported, as we were suddenly standing in a lush green forest.
Namjoon: Remember these coordinates. It's a small rift between reality and Capacity.
As we took a step forward together, the surroundings shook, and the scenery changed. The sky before sunset, a school resembling the Palace of Versailles, a distant waterfall cascading from a towering cliff, and vast green fields—it looked like a scene straight out of a fantasy world. Namjoon started walking towards the school without saying a word, and I followed him.
Yeoju: Um, excuse me—
Namjoon: It’s Kim Namjoon. That’s my name.
Yeoju: Oh... Namjoon-ssi—
Hearing me call his name, he stopped walking and looked back at me. Did I do something wrong?
Namjoon: Pfft! Haha, that’s going to take some getting used to.
Yeoju: Huh...?
Namjoon: Let’s just go straight to the principal’s office. Walking is a pain.
He grabbed my hand, and once again, the scenery whizzed by at an incredible speed. By the time the dizziness settled, we were in front of a door. Namjoon knocked and entered. The principal greeted me with a warm smile. After completing the paperwork and listening to some brief rules, Namjoon escorted me to the front of my new class.
Namjoon: You’ll get used to everything as you go. If you’re unsure about something—
A voice from behind: "Hey."
Startled by the strangely familiar voice, I turned around.
Jungkook: You’re the new transfer, right? Nice to meet you. I’m Jeon Jungkook.
It was the same guy I had bumped into the other day.
Namjoon: Knew you’d show up. If you have any questions, ask him. He’ll explain everything.
With that, Namjoon disappeared as quickly as he had come.
Yeoju: You’re the guy from yesterday! Oh, are we the same age?
Jungkook: Same age? Oh, yeah. We’re the same age.
Yeoju: That’s a relief. Do you remember me? We bumped into each other on the street yesterday.
Jungkook: Of course I remember. I was waiting for you to arrive. Come on in.
He smiled and guided me into the classroom. I was relieved to find a familiar face in this unexpected situation. The classroom was moderately spacious but had only a few desks, with just two other guys present.
"Whoa, who’s that?"
"Finally, you’re here!"
The two boys approached me cheerfully, acting as if they knew me already. They both seemed bright and friendly, which made me feel a bit more at ease.
Yeoju: Thanks for the warm welcome. But... are we the only students in this class? There seemed to be a lot of students outside.
Jungkook: This is Class 1. It’s the class for Supreme-level elemental users of the Four Elements.
Yeoju: Four Elements? Water, Fire, Earth, Air?
Jungkook: Yep. You and I are Water, he’s Air, and he’s Fire.
Taehyung: Oh, I didn’t introduce myself. I’m Kim Taehyung. I handle Fire.
Jimin: I’m Park Jimin. I handle Air.
After some brief introductions, the teacher entered, and we all took our seats.
Teacher: It’s truly rare. Throughout many generations, there’s only been one Supreme-level elemental user for each of the Four Elements. But now, there are two Supreme-level Water users in the same period...
Supreme-level elemental users, one for each element, have appeared in different eras. This is the first time two Supreme-level Water users have existed simultaneously.
As the teacher finished speaking, I looked at Jungkook. He was already looking at me. When our eyes met, he smiled, and I quickly looked away, flustered.

Today's TIM
Hints about characters’ actions and dialogue will be gradually revealed.
(Some hints have already been subtly integrated...)
Secret: Only Jimin's profile picture is in high resolution...
(The profiles of the three characters seem brief, right? There’s a reason for that 😎)
Explanation of the teacher’s line:
Over multiple generations, there have been Supreme-level elemental users. However, the meeting of Supreme-level users of the same element within Capacity has never happened before.
Example:
Supreme-level Water User A - Graduated from Capacity in 2021
Supreme-level Water User B - Joined Capacity in 2022
Like the natural order, their timelines never matched!
"Supreme-level" is one of the ranks among deities.
More details will be revealed in "The Betrothed of the God 05: Today’s TMI"!
There’s still a lot to unravel in this world, so many questions will arise.
We will continue to address these mysteries through "Today’s TMI."
