EMBERS
New Chef School

"Thank you, Mister Daniel."

Daniel had just finished teaching in a class called the twelfth grade of Ipa five. Daniel replied to the students' thanks with his friendly smile. Daniel's smile had a terrible effect on them, especially the female students who immediately shouted as if they had been invited to marry by Daniel.

Daniel who saw that could only shake his head in astonishment. For Daniel, their reaction was too overwhelming. Would all the women in the world react the same way if dealing with such a handsome man? What about the ugly men in this world? Daniel wondered in his heart.

Daniel left the class he had just taught. He was about to cross through the school basketball court to return to the teacher's building. The sun is so hot this afternoon. When Daniel crosses the field later he will definitely feel hot.

Actually Daniel has another option to go back to the teacher building, that is, by surrounding the twelve-class Ipa corridor above which is protected by the roof of the barrier between the class floors so that Daniel will not be exposed to the heat of the sun.

But Daniel was lazy to take that option. He would have stopped often on the street because there would have been many female disciples who would have asked for Daniel's signature, given Daniel gifts of chocolates and flowers, asked for Daniel's mobile number, even forcing Daniel to follow their instagram back. Daniel was so traumatized by those things.

Daniel began to move his feet to the school basketball court to go to the teacher's room. But just a few steps, a shout of a female student who out of nowhere called Daniel's name made Daniel stop his steps.

"Mister Daniel, watch out!"

The girl's student told Daniel to avoid something. I don't know what Daniel should avoid. Daniel doesn't know.

Until a large pot of plants accidentally thrown from the rooftop of the classroom building fell on Daniel's head. The pot of the plant broke in Daniel's head. Daniel also felt an incredible sense of urination. Makes his body irregular balance.

Daniel fell to the floor of the school basketball court. Daniel's scuffed head was spitting out a lot of blood. Daniel's eyes stared at the rooftop. Daniel saw who was the culprit who threw the pot of plants at him from up there. The culprit was a disciple whom Daniel knew very well.

The student smiled happily because he had managed to harm Daniel at this time. His smile was like a psychopathic smile. Then the student left the rooftop. Daniel's head is getting dizzy at the moment. His eyes were twitching. Daniel looks like he's gonna faint.

"Sister Daniel! Mister Daniel is still conscious? Mister Daniel can hear my voice? Help u! Help me!"

The female disciple who had shouted for Daniel's name was now near Daniel's body. The woman tries to resuscitate Daniel and asks the help of school residents to help Daniel. Daniel could not see the woman's face because it was dark for Daniel. Daniel has lost consciousness.

Agam and Hugo were enjoying their smoking in the back area of the school cafeteria building. Smoking activities that they often do secretly if they are bored, especially if the teacher in their class does not enter as now.

Sometimes Agam and Hugo fight their cigarette smoke. Agam always managed to remove ring-shaped smoke from his mouth made Hugo amazed and felt like he could do it.

"Where can your cigarette smoke take the form of a ring like that, Gam?" asked Hugo with a curious face.

Agam smiled proudly and replied, "It's easy. When you smoke, move your tongue toward the back of your throat. Then form your mouth like the letter O when pushing the smoke out of the mouth."

Hugo began to follow the steps described by Agam. Hugo's attempt failed twice. Until the third experiment Hugo also managed to form a ring of cigarette smoke that he wanted.

"Well, I did it" said Hugo. I just smiled seeing him.

Then came a student approaching Agam and Hugo. He is Edgar.

Edgar took one cigarette that Hugo offered. He replied, "Clean as planned. Agam's idea is absolutely brilliant."

Agam smiled when he got a compliment from Edgar. Then Agam asked, "How are things?"

Edgar replied, "He fainted. His head was bleeding. But it seems like it was just a minor injury. He'll be cured in a few days."

"It's okay. The important thing is that your anger at him has been channeled" said Agam.

Edgar smiled at Agam. He punched Agam softly in the chest and said, "Thank you, chief."

Agam, Edgar and Hugo continue their smoking activities. While talking about the recruitment selection phase activities of new unfinished cosmic members and they will continue tomorrow.

Agam also told Edgar and Hugo that he liked one of the female participants named Sairish. Agam is surprised that after that Edgar and Hugo confess if they also like Sairish and target Sairish to be their toy boyfriend.

Edgar and Hugo change their minds and say they will give up Sairish for Agam. I was glad to hear it.

Half an hour later, Agam and Edgar who had finished with their smoking activities left Hugo who was still busy smoking his cigarette which was half a stick and not yet finished.

When it was over, Hugo left to follow Agam and Edgar to class. Hugo walked past the kitchen of the cafeteria that school cooks used to cook students lunch at recess. To Hugo's knowledge, the chef at this school has changed recently because the old chef got a job offer to become a chef at a foreign school.

Hugo stops his steps when something inside the kitchen cafeteria steals his attention. Hugo's eyes were round in surprise when he saw the large amount of dog meat inside the kitchen. Inside there was also a middle-aged female chef who was chopping up dog belly meat. That chef is the new chef of this school.

Hugo did not believe what he was seeing now. Why cooks process dog meat at school. Mana may Harapan High School provide consumption of dog meat to their students. Or perhaps, it was the chef himself who did the straying.

The chef turned his head around and looked at Hugo. Hugo was caught snooping by the chef. The chef smiled creepily at Hugo. His smile was like the smile of a psychopath who had found his prey. Hugo shuddered in horror feeling terrified at the chef's smile. She left the kitchen area of the cafeteria half-run.
