El-Fighter: The Brave New Fighter (Book I)
59. Get it from Karin

At the same time that the V-FIGHTER is doing their activities at school, Rigel and Dullart are seen going to a minimarket to buy some tools Rigel needs. While walking, they tell their lives especially how they blend in with society. In order not to be known by the enemy, Rigel asks Dullart to wear clothes that are not so flashy but not suspected of people around

“ Looks like the people here are quite friendly yes “ Praise Dullart while looking at the surrounding residents

“ Hmmm ! Not really ! They could have been worse than us “ Rigel replied with his usual flat tone and expression

“ Aaaah~ yaa..that is because the world is not completely black-and-white ! But there are those who still hold that view of morality ! “ Clear Dullart

“ And know it. For me facing a person of black-and-white morality is far more annoying than those of grey. But that doesn't mean the gray side is never wrong “ Rigel said

“ Then...how did you respond with the people in this city ? “

“ Nothing special “ Rigel replied in the same flat tone

“ Hm ? “

“ Me...honestly..the first time I tried it.. I do not understand how to socialize with people outside the battle ! Nigulas-san and Hide once told me to try to be a little friendly...I don't know if I should be disgusted or ashamed of myself for being “too friendly” it's hard “ Rigel explained with his tone of doubt because he wanted to hide his weakness that was difficult to blend with others

“ But you look friendly together with Tazuya and others “

“ Seriously ? “

“ Yaa~ I can see that your friendly side is not fake “ said Dullart

“Good if anyone is aware if I can be friendly with people around ” Rigel said with a neutral smile

“But.it is true rumors that the Beta Prismans are a difficult figure to socialize because they are a lifetime just-“

“ That's right ! From birth, I and my six eldest brothers were trained to be the number one fighting instrument in the Prism Galaxy. Each Prisman Beta is controlled by an experienced military officer who is also a Prisman Beta who is also rewarded for being allowed to live as an adult “ Rigel explained

“ Ah ! That means..most of them die at a young age ? “ Dullart was really surprised when he heard Rigel's explanation of Prisman Beta

“ Exactly ! Whether it died in the battle or was removed because “it is not worth” to use in the battle field...the only way that we can have a long life is to always obey our higher-ups and not to disappoint them...it became a permanent wound in me “ Rigel replied with his neutral tone

“ I...do not believe.Your life before becoming an El-Fighter can be cruel “ Dullart said.

“ Naaah...I talk about what my past is like because you told me what your past is like ‘kan ? “ Rigel said as they got to the minimarket that they were seven

“ Eeerr~ yaaaa “

“ Come on ! Look for which groceries you want to buy “

Rigel and Dullart enter the minimarket to purchase their needs. Upon entering the place, Dullart was immediately amazed by the place because for a lifetime he did not know about the minimarket

“ Wooaaaaaaaah~ So this place you can buy cooking supplies ? So we don't need to go to the Mall to buy anything ? “ Tanya Dullart with her tone of admiration

“ Naaah~ if there is something that is not here, we can find it in Mall~ let's start shopping ! “

“ Okeeeeeeeee ! Time shoppingaa~“

Rigel pulled out a piece of paper 45cm long. Looking at the paper on the list made Dullart think that Rigel would buy a lot of food and other necessities. Not long after, Karin and her friend Lindsey also came to the same minimarket before going to their campus. The two of them discussed about the interview assignments given to their Lecturers

“ Let's stop by here for a minute ! I woke up late and forgot breakfast “ complained Lindsey while entering the minimarket

“ Okeee~ want to buy what here ? “

“ I'm curious about Fruit Sando. Looks like I bought it with Greek Yogurt. You want too ? “ Ask Lindsey while offering Karin what she wants to buy at Minimarket

“ Can~ but drink only Ocha deh “

“ Alright I paid ya~ “ Lindsey

“ Hey ! What about the task of giving Mr Masami ? Who do you want to interview later ? “ Ask Karin with her curious tone

“ Not yet sih~ Haduuuuuh...why should we be able to interview students sekolan anyway ?! Very repot ! Try that time we can first take the topic of student interviews on campus ! “ Grouser Lindsey

“ Hmmm how about we just ask Tazu-chii to do an interview ? “ Ask Karin while giving a suggestion to Lindsey

“ Ummm~ can be ! You're sure he's the one we can compromise on our duties ? “

“ Bis~ he is indeed a very trusted person kok “

“ Okeee~ if you can please invite one of his friends also yaa~ all for my part also “ Lindsey said that agreed with his proposal Karin

“ Siiip ! “

“ If you can time where Sandy does not approach you continue ! I'm the same fucking guy because every time he meets us he always takes you and follows you like a stalker ! “ Lindsey's proposal is irritated by Sandy

“ Yes Yes~ Hmmm~ maybe tomorrow and Thursday is a good time...moreover he said only Tuesday where he had a busy schedule “ Thought Karin while walking to the cashier to pay for the food they bought

“ Okay ! Later in the afternoon please contact him yes “

“ Yaaaa “

“ This dia~ thank you for shopping at our place “ Said the cashier with his polite tone

As Karin and Lindsey walked out of the minimarket, they did not realize that all their talk was heard by Rigel who was looking for materials he wanted to buy. Rigel doesn't really mind Karin's goal of meeting Tazuya. But the silver-haired young man was actually suspicious of Sandy's name because he remembered Tazuya's story about the young man's name

“ Sandy ? Nak Inuya once told me about that young man ! The young man who had twice hurt Tazuya out of blind jealousy ! Does he know what his friend is doing ? “ Thought Rigel while watching Karin's car leaving the minimarket

“ Looks like the woman deserves to be suspected ! “ Rigel said with his magic gaze

SISTER who is still disguised as a human does not accidentally see Karin's car passing beside her.Seeing Karin is their target in the next mission, SISTER immediately told this to Rough Polly

“ That's it ! “

In the gymnasium of Shinjitsu International High School, Mr. Victor began their monthly value-taking session by performing floor gymnastics techniques. Before starting, Inuya and Hikari both had them both called in the last turn simultaneously while explaining their competences

“ Haaaah~ so that's why you want to be called the last one..I guess I have no choice ! But..try you two to give your best for your grades ! “ Obviously Mr. Victor with his firm tone

“ Good Sir ! “

“ Okay ! We're Starting ! Alessander Hartoless and Ataru Kurenai ! “ Call Mr Victor

“ Yaaa ! “

“ Ready..ready...Do ! “

Mr. Victor called 2 names of students according to the order of absence of class. Many of them could do well, except for Kiko, Kenneth, Rattana and Elma who were basically not very good at the Classroom which made them score 80

“ 80 ?!“ Kurniawan Komarih aka Kiko was surprised when Mr. Victor told him how much it was worth

“ It's high enough loh~ gratefully aj~ “ Sahut Tazuya from a distance

“ Lagian not yourself who got 80 ! “ Complaints Kenneth

“ If you do not agree then it looks like the value of 70 is the number that suits you Nak Komarih ! “ Reprimand Mr Victor

“ Alright ! Now it's your turn Inuyari Namidashi and Hikari Ichinose ! “ Call Mr Victor

“ Nice ! Go ! “ Invite Inuya to Hikari

“ Okeeee ! “

Inuya and Hikari stood facing each other in front of the long mat.Before they started, all the students of class 1-LA-A talk to each other about who managed to get the highest score in their class

“ Wow ! This is going to be exciting ! “ Said Ataru

“ Who do you think will score 95 here ? “ Ask Jubei

“ If they are both serious yaaa it could be both can” Shan-Lee replied

*****

Mr. Victor rang his whistle which made Inuya and Hikari immediately begin to show the technique of floor gymnastics. The main techniques they do are the front bolster technique, rear bolster, taper bolster and stain movement. Because both are good at the gymnastics make them still end up drawing for a while

“ Not bad ! You are still good as before ! “ Praise Inuya

“ Heh ! Not only you looh who still remember in the technique they mastered “ Reply Hikari

“ Come on ! We start again ! “ Take Inuya

The next technique they do is kayang, handstand and headstand techniques. Knowing one of the three techniques is difficult to do, both Inuya and Hikari try not to show their faces of doubt to do headstand and trust each other

“ I still have trouble doing Headstand ! “ Murmured Inuya and Hikari simultaneously to themselves in the heart

“ Ready..ready...START ! “

The whistle was finally sounded and Inuya and Hikari first performed kayang and held it for 1 minute. When 1 minute is over they finally do a handstand that is equally done for 1 minute 15 seconds. Inuya and Hikari then stood still for a while while taking a short breath and twisting both palms of their hands before performing the headstand

“ Laaah~ really indirect headstand ? Is there a problem ? “ Ask Alessander

“ What don't-don't you two-“

“ If you can Headstand 2 minutes only so exciting~ “ Shouted Tazuya from the side bench

“ HOI ! Shut up you midget ! “ Shouted Inuya with his irritated tone while showing his hand towards Tazuya

“ Start ! “

“ Hyaaaaaaaaaah HAAAAAAH ! “ Inuya and Hikari slowly try to do headstand for 1 minute

“ Come on ! Go ! Go ! Go ! Go ! “ Other 1-LA-A grade students cheer for Inuya and Hikari

Both Inuya and Hikari tried to hold the headstand for more than 1 minute the same time they did a handstand. But they both realized that the headstand is quite difficult to do more than that plus they lack concentration because of the cheers of their classmates

“ Kkkkh ! Eh what it-UWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA “ Hikari suddenly saw a cockroach in front of the mat that made him lose his balance and eventually fall

“ EH ?! AP-EH EH UWAAAAAAAAA “ Inuya suddenly lost concentration and instead shouted when he saw the cockroach suddenly fly which made him fall too

(COW !)

“ AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH TERBAAAAANG COCKROACH “ Frantic Vlada also screams that make the atmosphere become noisy

“ Hyaaaaaaaaaa~ “

(MOTHER ! )

Mr. Victor immediately dampened the situation by arresting him with his bare hands and immediately squeezing it which suddenly made the students surprised because of Mr. Rigel's action

“ This Haduuuuh~ you guys ! Time with cockroaches you guys can be rowdy ! Already another sudaaah~ you yourself have been 15 years so stop acting like a child “ Tegur Mr. Victor casually he threw the dead cockroach into a garbage box

“ Forgive us Mr Victor ! “ Said all students of class 1-LA-A simultaneously

“ Hi-hideyuki ! Let go of me ! You can hear everything has calmed down ?! “ Gerutu Ryuga to Tazuya who hugged her tightly because of fear and panic of flying cockroaches

“ Ah! Oh, forgive me ! “ Said Tazuya timidly

“ So Pak~ how about our value ? “ Tanya Inuya who is still lying on the mat together with Hikari

“ Yes Paaak~ who can get the highest value now ? Me ? Namidashi ?“ Hikari asked in her excited tone

“ Hmmmmm~ You still want to do free gymnastic technique for determination ? “ All Inuya and Hikari questions were answered by Mr. Victor

“ Aaaah~ Ummmm~ High jump through that pole ? “ Inuya gives a suggestion

“ Good ! I accept ! “ Answer Hikari

“ Yosh ! We want to do a high jump ! “

“ Nice ! Let's start ! “ Said Mr Victor

All the students along with Mr. Victor went to the tracking field area and jumped far behind the Gymnasium. Inuya and Hikari together stand in front of a special track for high jump training. Hikari started it first, he started running and managed to jump 1.50 meters while Inuya managed to jump 1.55 meters without any difficulty while doing so

(THE PRIIIT ! )

“ Nice ! I decided you both got 93 ! Good job ! I hope you can pour your skills into a real sports game if you have any interest in progressing there “, said Mr. Victor in a tone of pride to Inuya and Hikari

“ Us ? 93 ? “ Tanya Hikari with her tone

“ Yaaa~ maybe if not for the cockroaches earlier I have given you a value of 95 because it can Headstand for more than 1 minute “, said Mr. Victor

“ Eeeeeeehhh~ “

“ If you think the value of 93 is not a good number for you.I think 83 is the right value for you “ said Mr. Victor in a tone he firmly told Hikari who still did not agree on Mr. Victor's decision.

“ UWAAA~ JA-DON'T MR VICTOR !!! “ Shouted Hikari who started to panic

“ Hey so grateful cake has been given a value of 93 ! You really don't know gratitude ! “ Gerutu Inuya

“ Already ! You two shake hands with each other ! Great job for both and for the others ! “

“ Yes ! Come on salaman ! “ Inuya said while offering hand department to Hikari

“ Hnggg~ okeee~ I'm glad you accepted my challenge ! “ Hikari said in a half-excited tone and shook hands with Inuya

“ Tazuya Hideyuki Iga ! I'll take your monthly value next week ! I hope quick feet recover quickly “

“ Ba-good Sir ! “

“ Nice ! All of you have tried your best to get a satisfactory grade ! I hope your grades can be maintained and never go down ! “ Praise Mr. Victor before ending their class

“ Yaaa Sir ! “

All the students eventually disbanded the line and went to the school shower room to take a shower and replace their uniforms. In the shower room and changing students majoring in Languages, Tazuya's smartphone suddenly rang when he was finished bathing and wanted to return to his school uniform

“ Ah ? Who would send a clock like this ?! “ Tazuya asked who was slightly irritated by the message from his Smartphone

“ Hmm ? “

“ Oooh ! Karin again ! Haaaah is there ! “Tazuya Complaints

“ Him again ? “ Ask Inuya

“ Iyaaaaap~ “

(click)

“ Tazu-chii ! I know you're in school ! But I have something to ask you about my college assignment during the break ! What time is your school at rest ? “ Ask Karin of the message

“ Tasks of college huh ? Hmph, if it matters to you I don't think there's any harm in~ video-call me at 12 noon “ Tazuya said as he typed in his reply message

“ What does his college assignment have to do with us ? Want to be in again ? “ Ask Inuya

“ Yaa~ just want to know  ! “

“ Come quickly ! Soon Mother Xia-Ping will enter the class ! “ Inuya warns Tazuya about next lesson time

“ Okeee ! “

At 12 o'clock during the break, Karin calls Tazuya according to their agreement and sees Tazuya contacting him at the cafeteria with Inuya sitting next to him

“ Well ! What do we want to talk about ?! “ Ask Tazuya

“ Ah ! Ini~ I was on assignment from Mr. Masami to interview high school students to find out how they responded to their school days. His job was done for 2 weeks “ Obviously Karin who sat with Lindsey next to him

“ So ?”

“ Tomorrow can you come to Mall Cassa and Nova  ? I want to interview you there after you go home from school ! If you can invite one of your friends also for his part Lindsey “ Ask Karin about his request

“ Tomorrow ? Hmmmm~ can be ! “

“ Who will you go with ? “ Ask Lindsey

“ It is definitely the person next to me “ Tazuya replied while pointing at Inuya sitting next to him

“ What ? Me ?! “ Tanya Inuya who was shocked by Tazuya's words

“ Hmmmm~ didn't you have girlfriends back then ? I want to be just like him ! Can ?” Lindsey asked, remembering Jubei Fujieda

“ Girlfriend ? You mean the blue-haired one named Jubei Fujieda ? “

“ Hu’ ! “

“ Aaaaah okay~ Jubei seems also Free tomorrow.but later I ask again he yaa~ “ Tazuya explained.

“ If he can't how ?  “Tanya Inuya

“ Invite Ryuga maybe “ Tazuya said a little doubtful

“ I'm sure Ryuga is not an easy figure to invite like that and-“

“ Okay okay okeeee if Jubei can't then I'll just take you ! How ?! “ Tazuya asked the three of them

“ Good ! I wait for your certainty Tazu-chii~ Daaaah~ “

(Click )

“ Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah troublesome course ! “ Tazuya Gerrutu

When Karin and Lindsey end their call, without them knowing it, from the classroom door they saw SISTER disguised as one of the students in the campus heard all their talk and she immediately told this to Rough Polly

“ Tomorrow afternoon ?! Okeee ! “ Sister said as she left the classroom
