Complexities
CHAPTER I CHAPTER 1: Moving Girl (REVISION UPDATE)
"Hey heard yet? Said there's a transfer student at our school."
"He's beautiful…"
"It looks like I have to change my appearance so as not to lose the competition.."
It seemed that some students were chatting with each other and talking about someone.
The news of a girl who had just moved to this school spread so warmly. In fact, throughout the lesson hours the majority of students only talk about the transfer girl who reportedly has a beautiful face. Everyone was so curious as to which class he would go to.
It's just…
"I'm not interested." muttered Hikasa in a flat tone.
****....TENG TENG'S....****
"All right, so many lessons today" said a teacher as he ended the afternoon lesson.
"Aahs.. Finally rest.."
"Hey..he said there is a new menu in the canteen, you want to try not?"said a female student sitting not far from Hikasa.
"I tipped dong.."reply to the other female student while giving a piece of paper money.
Hikasa slowly left his chair while carrying his lunch box.
Akira Hikasa, 16. Her high school life has just begun. It started with the success of Doctor Tsukiyama who brought a big impact to the village where Hikasa lived, Okanabe Village.
Since the first hospital was established in Okanabe Village, other supporting infrastructures began to be built simultaneously afterwards, making Okanabe Village now transformed into a more modern place.
Although it has received serious attention from the Government, unfortunately Okanabe Village still does not meet the criteria to get its own school building. This is because the age of the population is dominated by the majority of parents and leaves only Hikasa as the only child that meets the age criteria of primary education.
The government provided an alternative option for Hikasa to pursue his education, by giving him the opportunity to take accelerated classes to catch up on education.
Hikasa who has absorbed a lot of knowledge from his grandparents and grandmother who took care of him completed the acceleration class perfectly, until the age of 16 years now Hikasa has managed to sit on the bench of High School.

"This school is really boring." - muttered Hikasa in a tone of protest.
"Lwagi pwula Kwenapa ywang school membwoswankan this tidwak attacked wabwah zombie sawja anyway, mungkwin will be more interesting."gurutu with mouth full of croquet.
The habit of nagging alone with a mouth full of croquettes like this has become a routine that he usually does in the break.
"so yeah... I also thought like that, this boring school should just be destroyed."reply to the voice of someone who suddenly interrupted Hikasa's scolding.
I don't know when he was standing there. Maybe from the beginning, it was just that Hikasa was unaware of his existence because he was too busy nagging alone.
The mysterious figure had brownish hair on his back and a bangs that were short in length almost covered his eyes, giving off a sweet impression for anyone when he first met him.
She was the transfer girl that many people told her about today..
A beautiful-faced transfer girl who is the talk of many people, she is…
"In..who is he ?!!"Hikasa was half-deadly shocked by the sudden presence of the transfer girl before him.
“Chifuyu Amane..”ucap the transfer girl introduced herself.
“Hei..wait a minute..”think Hikasa with awkward face.
“What kind of lucky state is this.”
Hikasa felt he had found great fortune after the transfer girl with the pretty face that many people were talking about today invited him to meet.
“First introduce, My name is Chifuyu Amane. I am a family servant who works for Tsukiyama Koharu.”ucap Amane introduced myself.
“A few months from now, Tsukiyama Koharu will be transferred from Women's Special School in Rome, to this ordinary folk school. I was assigned by him to meet you as the only acquaintance he has in this country.
“Ordinary folk school he said.”think Hikasa with a face that is wry to respond to the words of the girl named Amane.
“While in Rome, Tsukiyama Koharu gives information about a boy she had a relationship with in the past. And that man is you, Akira Hikasa.”
Amane looked at Hikasa with a sharp look, his tone now sounded cold and different from before.
'GLEG' Hikasa swallowed his saliva shortly after seeing the change in speech style on the girl named Amane.
“Nyawamu in danger.”soil Amane slowly on Hikasa.
Amane revealed a little part of the skirt he was wearing to show a knife type bayonet tied between his thighs. He pulled the bayonet while making a move to attack Hikasa.
“Oi, that's right.”Hikasa who was beginning to be aware of the situation was trying to escape from Amane.
Amane's bayonet movement missed several centimeters from Hikasa's body, to make Kroket and lunch belong to Hikasa who had been held earlier spilled scattered.
“Not a moment ago did you say that you were my childhood friend's servant, why did you attack me!”hikasa shouted with breath gasping.
“I can die tau!”with a panicked face half dead.
He ran as far away from Amane as he tried to attack him.
“Don't worry, this is just a toy knife.”ucap the transfer girl named Amane with his leisure. He again kept the toy bayonet knife behind the skirt he wore. Hikasa responded to Amane's casual remark with a wry smile. A moment later, Amane pointed his index finger in front of Hikasa while giving a warning.
“From today onwards there will be hundreds of people targeting you.” explained Amane to Hikasa.
“Diincar? Ta.but why? I don't do things that break the law, do I?”reply Hikasa after hearing the warning from Amane.
“I will explain the details as soon as possible, when the time is right. For now your first task is to drive me around this school.”reply to Amane to Hikasa while moving slowly away from that place.
“Sucks..”.
“He seems abnormal.” thought Hikasa at the time.

The sun is not as usual. Shimmering and hot like being a few centi above the head, the black asphalt seemed to evaporate with the heat of the sun that burned it.
It feels so annoying, if when the heat is hot like this must pedal a bike with a girl who rides in the back seat. Even though it was clearly forbidden to do so, he still insisted on sitting there.
Akira Hikasa, 16. The story of his youth in high school has not long started, at first everything went smoothly, until the day a transfer girl named Amane appeared and attacked him suddenly on the roof of the school.
“Sepi once...”ucap Amane while paying attention to the place.
Amane made small warm-up movements to stretch his stiff muscles.
“This is the time to go home from school, people are busy with club activities.”bala Hikasa while guiding his bicycle to a parking lot not far from there.
“Peakan.”ucap Amane while pointing towards Hikasa's shoes.
“Ha?”Hikasa seemed to not understand Amane's words.
“Dry soil on your footing.”
“Did you hear it? the rhythm of the pounding of the shoe that collides with the hardness of the ground.”
Amane stomped his feet to the ground, causing a fairly loud snapping sound.
”Yes, I think the land here is quite hard anyway. Besides, now it is dry season.”balas Hikasa while stomping his shoes to the ground following Amane.
Amane took something out of his pocket, it was a needle.
“Jarum?”Hikasa looked confused.
Amane dropped the needle until it hit the ground. ‘TING’ The needle fell to the ground and made a rather faint sound.
“Now can you hear it?”ask Amane.
“That's impossible, it's hard to hear such a small sound with the sound of the wind as now.”balas Hikasa to Amane while watching the needle Amane dropped before.
Hikasa raised his face towards Amane shortly after noticing the needle lying on the ground, but Amane who had previously stood before him had now vanished from sight.
“Killing art, ability to paralyze prey in silence.”ucap Amane slowly.
“Eh?”Hikasa was a little surprised by Amane's sudden movements, he didn't notice them at all.
Amane's bayonet knife was facing parallel to Hikasa's neck, Hikasa's position had been completely locked by Amane's bayonet, which had been sealed off, even if he did a few centi movements then the bayonet's eyes would directly touch the skin of his neck.
Amane stood with his back to Hikasa followed by a murderous aura that was so deadly.
“Se-since when.”think Hikasa.
“The sound of a needle falling against the ground illustrates how faint the sound of movement made by the enemy is. If you can't listen to his voice, then you won't be able to notice the movements of the people who will attack you suddenly.”ucap Amane on Hikasa.
Amane lowered the bayonet that had previously targeted Hikasa's neck.
“A bat has poor eyesight, but they can hunt at night by relying on their hearing.”
“Calleviruses use a technique called echolocation, where bats detect the location of prey or opponents by making their distinctive sounds during flight or at rest, bats can estimate the conditions around them through the reflection of sound that goes into the ear.“
“If the human sense of hearing increases like a bat, then the instinct and awareness to know the opponent's position will be stronger.”
“My movement just now is a movement whose voice is much quieter than the sound of a needle falling on the ground, of course the people who are after you master the same ability." continued Amane explained.
Hikasa who realized his weakness just kept silent while bowing his head.
“If it is not your attack.”ucap Hikasa with a slightly trembling tone.
“You've died once.”balas Amane cut off Hikasa's speech.
“All the time after school, I will train you to listen to the sound of the needle falling.”ucap Amane on Hikasa.
“I do not understand the situation, what kind of people are after me, and why people are after me, but.”.
“I have to live to meet him, Tsukiyama Koharu.”ucap Hikasa.
Hikasa tried to awaken his confidence, while Amane seemed to smile softly after hearing the words.
“By the way, this bayonet is really just a toy.”ucap Amane while playing his bayonet.
“...”Hikasa responds to his words with a wry face.
