Black Ball
Chapters 3.

A few minutes had already passed when the first break bell rang.

The atmosphere of the class was getting quieter, only a few children were still in the classroom, including myself.

The box I brought was partially finished.

Even though I had held back as hard as I could, in the end I still could not keep both of my eyes open. I was very sleepy and then slowly closed the box in front of me. I think I should get a few minutes of sleep.

After all, not sleeping at all in the morning lessons, that's a huge progress right?

I nodded slowly and placed my already heavy head on both of my hands on the table.

I started to close my eyes.

But….

I wonder why in this world, I am rarely sleepy. Unlike in this world, just a few hours of study alone has made me very tired and sleepy.

I took a deep breath and sat up again.

The reason for that is because in that world, I have Rizkal's body which every day uses his time as best as possible. There is no lazy word in his life.

Very inversely proportional to my life here, which always uses my time to laze. There is no hard word in my life. Hard work is useless.

Another reason might be because in the world it is required to move a lot and fight. Unlike here who only use the brain to think and faster make the brain feel tired.

Life at school was also very boring. I don't think anything interesting happened.

Wait for….

I observed the situation in the classroom carefully.

On the back corner. Someone is being surrounded by three notoriously mischievous men in my class.

“For money!” said one of the men who was surrounding his victims. His voice was slow but very intimidating.

The man in contact lowered his head and closed the box in front of him. “I didn't bring pocket money.”

“Hah?” he then kicked the table hard. “Not yesterday have we reminded?”

“Sorry,” he replied in a very slow voice. “Lupa.”

“Goblok lu,” The man took a fifty thousand note and threw it in front of the man in front of him. “Buyin bread same drink as usual.”

The man nodded then stood up and walked quickly towards the classroom exit.

Does something like this happen usually?

I took a deep breath staring at the empty blackboard.

I really don't know.

Even though I know, I still can't do anything. Unlike Rizkal who has a muscular body, my original body is very weak. Maybe one hit could make me faint.

A few moments later someone I knew appeared from behind the door. He smiled at me and sat down in the chair next to me. He's Andri, my best friend. He brought a loaf of bread and two boxes of milk. 

Andri handed me one of the milk boxes.

“Tumben lu ga directly sleep?”

I just realized the reason why I wasn't bullied by the three brats in my class. Weak men like me should be easy targets for them. But they never bothered me at all.

The reason is that I was pretty good friends with Andri, the captain of the football team at our school. He has a lot of friends and of course has a good body.

Even so, it seems like I want to be a little stronger.

“Tau ga eskul silat entry requirements?” ask me without paying attention to Andri's question.

I nodded slowly. 

“Lu hurts ya!” Andri rounded her eyes in disbelief, she placed her palm on my forehead. “First you know pr, second you do not sleep during lessons, third you bring supplies, and last you suddenly enter excul silat?”

I ignored Andri, then remembered someone in my class who had entered eskul silat.

“If you really want to enter eskul silat, try asking Linida aja deh.”

Yes linida? 

All right, looks like I'll ask him after school. 

***

I lay my body down quietly on my comfortable bed.

"Ohhh…."

All day long I have lived as best I could. I made it through time at school without falling asleep for a single minute. Although in the end I immediately broke down my body after coming home from school and fell asleep. I could no longer bear the sleepiness I had endured in school.

Although I still question why I should torture myself not to sleep in school.

I don't know.

When I think about it, I'm used to living casually without needing to think about anything seriously. Studying really made my brain exhausted. If I didn't remember my life in that world, I definitely wouldn't have tried so hard.

I took a long breath.

If you recall, almost all of my time is spent looking at the screen of the phone. Whether it's opening social media or watching a video. Such activities do not require the brain to think hard. I just look at it without thinking about anything, occasionally laughing when I see something funny. Even though the current me still does not really understand what the point of all that is.

I also spend a lot of time playing games.

When talking games, of course, the brain is more used than just opening social media or just watching videos. But I realized one thing was different. Playing games makes me addicted.

Compared to learning school lessons, playing games is only enough to learn it once. If you already understand how to play a game of course next will be very easy to play that game, even without thinking though.

Unlike learning school lessons, when you have learned a problem and understand it. I must immediately learn another lesson without being able to boast of the results of a problem that has been mastered.

Maybe because of that, I don't really like to try new games and play those games more often. Because I don't want to learn how other games work and prefer to play games that I think are comfortable.

Unknowingly, I was addicted to playing this game.

But from today on, I started to leave all that behind. Although I have not completely left, but at least I have started to reduce the time to use all those things and replaced doing something more useful the other.

I also did not forget to do the exercise ritual.5 times push up, 20 times squat jump and 10 times sit up. Doing all that made my heart beat fast and at least forget about the drowsiness for a moment.

Today wasn't too bad, was it?

Besides, I also did something that I had never done in my entire life. For the first time I wanted to get into an exkul.

After school class, I did not forget to go to Linida bench, one of the members of the silat exkul in my class, to ask for the admission requirements to the exkul.

Linida is one of the pretty girls in my class and has a very ideal body. It seems like there are already some of my classmates who have tried to get close to Linida, but it seems, Linida did not give the green light sign at all.

I was still quite nervous the first time I spoke to him.

Although I was very sure Nazdia was much prettier than Linida, but somehow my body was very different from Rizkal's body when dealing with a girl.

After gathering enough courage I asked Linida. It is a pity that Ekskul silat does not accept new members before the new school year.

Maybe for a while I will enter football after being invited by Andri. But I will think about it even more deeply.

I took a deep breath again.

The black ball is in my hand. I am ready to continue my journey in this world.
