THE YUDHA AKSARA BANNER

[JUDHA SCRIPT BANNER]

"The banner of Yudha script."

Minimalist white room measuring 4×6 meters was filled by 20 pairs of tables and chairs that are equally white, white, with a whiteboard at the front along with a set of teacher desks arranged near the entrance. Just as simple as that, the contents of this room in front of the entrance hung a wooden board engraved 'II LANGUAGE 00'. Yep! It was a classroom in one of my favorite schools called Zero Hight School.

Little review, Zero Hight School or commonly abbreviated as ZHS is a top-level advanced school or equivalent to High School. ZHS is a favorite school holder of the 2nd most superior school in the city of Vyen. Which is ranked 1st superior school is held by the Vyen National Hight School or simply the Vyen NHS. For Vyen itself, it is the name of the central city in Country V, of which Country V is also part of the Aurig Works, the largest Employment whose territory covers a single continent. The name of the continent where Aurig worked is the Xe Continent.

"The banner of Yudha!"

Back again in Class II room LANGUAGE 00 in ZHS which is also commonly referred to as Class Zero. The classroom, which usually contains 20 students, is now only inhabited by two people. One of them was a female teacher with sportswear. The teacher who is usually familiarly called Capt Cel stood with his hands crossed. His sharp eyes also looked careless, directed at a student sitting on one of the benches. The student who had earlier called his name, Panji Aksara Yudha. And from that very moment the banner of the Yudha script was silent not saying a word.

Capt Cel sighed, it seemed that he was strategizing in his brain looking for the best way to deal with this Banner of Yudha Aksara. For a second he cursed at the counselling teacher who threw this task at him. Handling the Most Troubled Student Record Holder in ZHS and even all over Aurig land might be better for him than dealing with the Banner of Yudha Script.

Panji is one of the students from class II 00 or Class Zero, his position is fairly average, not striking nor too closed. Starting from values, attitudes, all of the Yudha Banners are average categories. There is nothing special about him so it is worth being proud of, nothing is too bad about him to deserve reproach. He was mediocre, in addition to the frequency of his residence exceeding the portion it should be. That rare or even almost never-talking banner that made most people reluctant to deal with him. Somehow the rules of life that he applies to himself, but the boy only speaks when he really wants to talk, when he does not intend to speak do not expect a response from him even though the apocalypse reverberates though. With silence, the banner of the Yudha script can drain the patience of even the most patient people.

For example, at this time, when Capt Cel has spoken at length about the offense that Panji has done this week, and also his discipline points that have reached minus numbers. But, not a single bit of the child did not respond. When questioned he remained silent, when ordered he was still silent, when offered to talk to resolve the problem he was silent. So, should she flirt now with that silence?

Regarding the violations committed Panji is actually not a serious problem. Hasn't it been explained that Panji is not typical of rogue students? However, because the small offense keeps repeating itself every time, the longer it becomes serious. In this ZHS every student has discipline points where every action they do will impact on that point. As the name implies, discipline points are points that can be obtained from every action of students at school. Each achievement will add discipline points. And each offense will deduct points depending on the type of offense committed. The usefulness of this point is for grades, where up or not and pass or not a student is based on the point.

Then what do students learn if all results are determined by these points?

The answer is simple, learning is included in obeying the rules, every such obedience will add points, that means learning is also necessary to determine the fate of this school. In ZHS, the ability of the student is not measured by how genius his brain is, how much memorization, how good the calculation is, not all of it. The excellence of students here is measured by the numbers on their discipline points. How does this point system work?

At the beginning of each school year, all students will get a small earring that must be worn in their ears. In general, the earrings are only known as a special symbol that indicates they are one of the students of ZHS. No one is aware that in the black round object engraved with the ZHS logo there is a complex system that will fully supervise the activities of students during the school day. It's a kind of sophisticated watchdog that monitors every activity for no less than a second.

In simple terms, the tool is like CCTV that monitors at a certain time span. In the system embedded in it has been compiled in detail how the tool will work. The device will be active at 06:00 in the morning school with the command of the central server and will automatically be disabled when the school hours are over at 15:00. Which means in the time range between 06:00-15:00 Advanced CCTV will work recording each activity where each action will instantly get a point calculation and then the data will gradually be sent to the central server every 15 minutes. Indirectly, the ranking points data can change every 15 minutes.

What about the holidays? ZHS does not know the word holiday. Every day is a school day. Except for semester breaks and class hikes set for the week. But, no holidays does not mean the school is very scary. Even no. Instead of school hours, ZHS learning hours are fewer than other schools. From 6 to 3 pm which means 9 hours, only 1/3 of that time is used for learning. The remaining 2/3 or 6 hours are divided for hours of rest, exculus, free hours, and insight studies (a kind of material delivery outside the lesson by outside speakers, as well as for the study of the subject, free to choose a place because the study is divided into 3 main groups, namely outdoor, indoor, and trips outside the ZHS area. Of the 3 large groups later each is also divided into several small groups. At least every hour of insight study brought in 50 speakers).

That way for 9 hours a day ZHS students will be fully supervised by small earrings in their ears. Even if the student is alpha, sick, licensed, skipped or outside the ZHS area during school hours, the device will still be activated at the designated timeframe. The calculation of points also runs but is adjusted to the condition of the student. If this is the case, it must be easy to control students who break the rules, right? But, ZHS never summarized the students who skipped despite the detailed location reports are known, ZHS never attracted the students who brawl even though all the activities are displayed on the screen monitor, ZHS, ZHS never intercepted students who ran away from school, never. Because ZHS has its own procedures. Where when the student commits an offense that causes a reduction in his points of 50 points then he will be called to the counseling teacher to get a punishment for the violation - 50 points he did. Likewise, if a student gets an additional 50 points for his achievements, he will also face the counseling teacher to get a reward for the addition of his points. Where later all points will be ranked at the end of the even semester when class increases. And in the next school year all the students of each class, starting from generation I, II, III, and IV will begin their cycle of points from 0.

A little explanation, in ZHS the school term is 4 years. Where level IV is the most senior level and has privileges. Which at level IV each student is free to choose a lesson to be followed with the minimum subject requirements followed are 5 subjects. At level IV there is no longer such thing as exculpation, free hours and hours of insight study. Their learning hours remain that is 3 hours of their 9 hours of school, but the other 6 hours they spend to plunge into the world of work such as internships at companies that sponsor schools.

Well, for the last one about ZHS advanced CCTV, each tool has a password that can only be opened with the permission of central server access. Thus it is not possible for ZHS students to remove those small earrings. Even if it is forcibly removed, the earrings have a special kind of sensor connected to the nervous system which will be fatal if removed forcibly, and this danger is certainly already approved by the guardians of students at the beginning they register their children in ZHS. So that if someone violates by force removing the earrings, the ZHS will not be responsible at all.

"In a week, in just a week, you've lost fifty points. You know the pennant? Even the most recalcitrant disciple at this school would need more than a month to make their points minus fifty. Now that it's just the beginning of the school year, you've only been a month at level II. Yesterday you could only collect nineteen point nine points. And now you lost fifty points?! Are you kidding me?!"

Capt Cel exclaimed in frustration over a few things, first because of Panji's points record, secondly obviously because the boy was silent. There is no anxious look, no anxious look, no fear, anger, sadness and so on. His face was just a calm, expressionless ripple. I don't know what he's thinking right now.

The 25-year-old teacher was about to speak again, but was interrupted by a brief ringing from a small walled monitor near the door. Capt Cel checked for a moment, then returned to Panji again. "Because the offences you committed were not gross violations-yes though repeated over and over-then the sentence for you is to write a hundred pieces collected next week. His writing material is about the industry and economic charts of Vyen the past year. Miss Denada will be your coach, meet her later for a consultation. Any questions before this little trial ends? All right, nothing." The usually very energetic young teacher looked so lethargic as he left the room. Dealing with Panji turned out to completely drain all his energy. Imagine that he has been talking for almost two hours and that is until his throat is dry and his voice turns hoarse. At least there is no meaningful response even though it is just a blink of an eye from the child of his one student.

The pennant left alone in the classroom is still silent. Doesn't look like it's going to move. There was about 10 minutes until he moved a little glance at the watch, right at 5 pm. It had been two hours since the school breakup, which meant that it had also been two hours that he was sitting stiff like a statue lectured by Capt Cel.

Then remembering the punishment, Panji sighed softly. Finishing a hundred pieces in one week was not a problem for him. The problem is the minus value on the point. How he keeps his points from being reduced while he himself does not know what kind of action is called breaking it.

Not wanting to think further, Panji chose to go home. He was sleepy and wanted to sleep quickly. Sleep, dream good, wake up, and then unconsciously he will break again maybe increase the value of minus points or it could be good luck he can get additional points redeeming his minus points.

I don't know, just look tomorrow.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

The blue expanse of the sky stretched wide without white clouds adorned when Panji carrying a school bag walked down the deserted protocol road. The waist-high tares of the adults were swept in the wind along the side of the road. The deciduous leaves of a tree that grows solidly one or two stems between the group of weeds flying and some fall covering the black asphalt of the road.

Panji paused for a moment, looking up at the sky in the morning towards this afternoon. Today he chose to go home briefly at free hours that apply from 11 to 1 later. Free hours in ZHS are indeed the most pleasant hours because as the name implies, the, at that time all students were actually released and even allowed out of the ZHS area with a record of having to return on time when the free hours expired.

Panji house is located the deepest, far from the gate of the complex and separated from other houses. It was just a simple wooden house painted in bright white with a model of a stilt house but not too high. From the front it looks very beautiful with pots lined both on the floor and hanging. While around the house on the fence by lush green trees, most of them are apple trees whose fruits are green, some other trees are diverse such as palm, coconut, and some other ornamental trees. If viewed the entire area around the house, it will be found a stretch of vegetable fields in the backyard. There is also a specially fenced plot of land in which there is a flourishing wine.

"Oh, Panji? Not school?" ask one of the workers who brought a box containing vegetables that had just been harvested. He was an old man with a shabby hat and mustache as well as a gray beard that grew bushy almost covering his entire face.

"Free hour." Panji answered short while continuing to step up the stairs to the front floor of his house. The Old Man only nodded at a glance and returned to his activities, already accustomed to the attitude of the son of his boss.

Unlike the outside that is crowded by the workers, inside the house is very quiet. All the orders were also neat, still like this morning when he left school. A set of chairs and a rattan table decorate the front room, then with only the TV cabinet as a partition already looks the kitchen space. On the road to the kitchen there is a ladder to the second floor, which on the second floor is all the bedrooms are. There are not many rooms in this house, can be recorded easily. Among them are 3 bedrooms on the 2nd floor, a bathroom near the kitchen and living room that can be said to blend directly with the kitchen and dining room.

The pennant took off his shoes and neatly stored them on the shelf behind the door. He put down his rattan chair school bag and stepped into his room on the 2nd floor. Panji Room is at the very back end whose windows face the garden behind his house. The room has a balcony with stairs leading down which allows Panji to go directly to the backyard from his room.

The ringing of the house phone screaming from the first floor made Panji who had just laid himself on the mattress moan irritatedly. He got up and walked with slow steps.

"Batara's residence here, who's it going to be?"

"Aksa, why is your phone dead? Mommy got word from Mr. Ben that you came home this afternoon. Unusually? What was? You sick?--'Aksa sick? We're going home now!'"

Not yet finished his mother's voice, connecting with the voice of the Father and then only filled with small squabbles between the couple. The banner sat lazily on a rattan chair with hands that did not want to quietly tear off the stickers on the back of the chair that I don't know who was sticking there.

"I'm fine, Bun. Just want to take a hard drive and shower again, sultry."

"Ah, it's good that you're okay." Mommy sounded relieved at the sound of grasak-grusuk across there. "Dad and Mother will come home tonight, what do you want?-'Buy all the gifts, later let Aksa choose, the rest for Dad.'" Again, Mother has not finished talking, Father has cut.

Panji cleared his throat just lazily responding further. He returned to his room after finishing the phone call. In accordance with what he said to Mother, Panji really took another bath this afternoon. The scorching heat makes him angry even more he feels sticky all over the body due to sweating a lot because he came home on foot.

After taking a bath Panji chose to bring his laptop to school because he forgot to copy his sentencing documents or not. He's too lazy to tamper with it now, maybe later in school.

The heat of the sun grew so when Panji came out through the balcony stairs of his room to the backyard. The workers had rested under a palm tree that grew tightly on the edge of the vegetable garden, they looked like they were having a picnic with thin cloth as a base and various foods were presented on it. The workers consisting of men and women who are on average aged 40 and over looked very familiar and chatted with her carefree. One of them waved at Panji inviting him to join the one that the boy was embracing.

The pennant picked some fresh wine then sat down to join the rest of the workers. Although only silent, but he really enjoyed the living atmosphere created by these people. Light jokes, classic stories and a simple orchestra from the clarinet and some other old musical instruments.

After that, Panji returned to school in one of the vegetable trucks that will leave for the city center. It passes through the ZHS gate 15 minutes before the free hour is over. Because there is still time, Panji decided to meet Miss Denada who is usually in the gazebo to open a fairy tale class with some students.

Miss Denada has ended the fairy tale Good Fairy - a classic story used to captivate children who are strangely even enjoyed by students who incidentally are teenagers. His students have also begun to disperse only one two who are still settling to discuss again the fairy tale they just heard, he said, some students who are too genius make a resume and take the logic of science into a fairy tale so that he combines fiction with exact science.

Panji sat next to Miss Denada, waiting for the pale-faced but rippling young teacher to finish talking to some of the students who asked.

A breeze accidentally blew away a few grains of sand. The banner that was looking at the small hordes of white clouds in the sky was made to frown and squint eyes preventing its eyes from entering the sand. He turned his head as he felt a subtle pat on his shoulder, and Miss Denada's laughter sounded so airy as he changed his focus on the teacher.

"The banner of the Yudha Script, how do you spend fifty points in a week? That's record!"

Ah, that's what he laughed at. Maybe Capt Cel has explained the matter of Panji. Therefore, Panji does not need to mince words anymore. He pulled out his laptop from the bag and thrust a screen displaying thousands of letters at the young teacher next to him - most of the ZHS faculty were young and energetic, and most importantly, it is unique.

"It's over?" Miss Denada asked without caring about the laptop Panji offered.

Panji remained silent for a while, then nodded slightly muttering. Next he found only a firm pat on the shoulder and a wide grin of the teacher.

"Then your punishment is done!" Miss Denada laughed, "You hear a little fairy tale before an insight study?" her bargain glanced with a mysterious smile that was continuously reciprocated by Panji.
