The teenagers have elemental powers, which they have to use to defeat the monsters. What is your favourite subject? People and the environment is my favourite. Or German, depending on what topic we're currently working on. Once we had adventure stories, I thought that was cool. How did people realise that you were gifted? In first grade, I was simply always much faster than the others. What's it like to be gifted? I like it a lot. You're different from the others and you get to go to Atelier Plus. What do you particularly like about Atelier Plus? My favourite thing is when I make progress in my research. What would you like to be one day? Author or actor. Not a researcher? Maybe, we'll see.1/3

I like the fact that the teacher sometimes doesn't know the answer to our questions himself, so we can explore something new. What would you like to be one day? A lawyer or bank director. But preferably a millionaire. Not a researcher? Maybe, but probably not.2/3
