Riko left the Gamaliel residence grumbling. Along the way the young man grumbled to the point that Zein kept trying to comfort him.
“Well, who is he, forbid we join Guild War. We are also a registered Guild,” Riko spent the entire car trip to her apartment.
“Not that, Rik. I understand why he doesn't love us joining the War Guild. We are still a thriving guild. You also have to think of other children dong. I know you must be very gatel want to directly be able to fight with people. But with our current HR, it's not just dangerous, life at stake. This is not in the game anymore which if dead can revive. Dead who died. Coid. Directly meet the Almighty,” firmly Zein trying to revive Riko from his anger.
Riko snorted in annoyance. “Padalaat yesterday you were the most bitter to make their nangkep,” chirps while staring at the highway.
“Yes is the problem. If we go through the law, there is no need to risk our lives.”
“Clearly he intends to kill me.”
Zein took a long breath. “Juju king deh, actually you only want to be able to face directly with the Silverdeath guild's leader right? Rangga Sasmita's. You want you to compete directly and you lose him. Make what? Do you need recognition from him?” just right on target.
“Sok know you,” say Riko fast. The young man could not dodge anymore because Zein's guess was indeed correct. That was what Riko wanted, facing Rangga head-on and defeating him decisively.
There is no satisfaction in just slowly destroying the person. Riko wanted to hurt him with her own hands. Then destroyed the guild he had built to nothing.
“Later there will be time to load ngadepin him directly. But not now, Rick. Lo also knew Silverdeath had irregulars. Assassins whose ability to control people use shadows. Chaser Shadow. We're not just losing if we're going to fight their entire guild right now. Forging Master can be eliminated,” concluded Zein closed their conversation.
In the end, Riko held back until she reached the apartment. He had to swallow his own anger and stop thinking about opportunities that might otherwise be missed. Unknowingly the time to meet Mona has come.
The girl came in with a very beautiful makeup. Mona who everyday is always fashionable, this time looking more trying to look beautiful than usual. Finding Riko who is moping, Mona tries to melt the atmosphere. The girl took Riko to the location where their guild would be based.
An old three-story hotel building welcomes the arrival of Riko and Mona on a beachside hill. The location is very strategic with a beautiful beach view. The place has a large yard that may have previously been a park and drop off area to the hotel lobby. But now the park area has been abandoned and overgrown with wild grass.
Even so the building itself is still good, standing firmly. They both tried to walk in. Overall, the place is relatively clean for the size of the building that is not used. Mona explained that there are still employees who always clean the place regularly. Even at the entrance, a guard is seen watching Riko and Mona arrive.
Riko took a look around for a moment and it seemed like the place was indeed suitable for his guild headquarters. Especially if he wants to have a lot of members. The unused rooms can be restored into a spacious training ground. They can also practice on the beach if they are bored in the room.
Riko took a deep breath while observing the ocean from the second floor hall. “I think I'm too emotional. The opportunity to teach Rangga with my own hands makes me impatient,” said the young man had slightly understood his ambition blindly earlier.
Mona stood next to him, looking sympathetic and attentive. “I understand your feelings. After what that person did to you, it's only natural that you get that angry. Rhea also tells about your past entering the dungeon together. The Silverdeath Guild Leader tried to kill you and after being helped he just claimed to be a hero. Such kayaks are not worthy to be allowed.”
The girl's words made Riko feel better. Mona is good at entertaining. Riko feels her feelings are validated and does not necessarily blame her for feeling angry.
“Thank you already know,” said Riko while looking at Mona gently.
Mona looked back at him then nodded slowly. “So the chairman is not easy, Rik. Because you have to think about a lot of people and refrain from acting carelessly. Even so, we're all on your side. And I promise you will come true whatever your expectations are about this guild. There will be a time when we are all ready to face Silverdeath, or any guild that might threaten us,” Mona concluded later.
Riko could finally smile. Mona's right. He should not act rashly just because of his own problems. Now it was better for him to focus on developing his guild first. Also his ability development. If he and all of his companions in the guild grew stronger, then they would definitely be able to face whatever challenges came their way.
After completing a location survey, Riko took Mona to a famous beachside restaurant. He had made a reservation in advance, according to their promise yesterday. The atmosphere became more relaxed after that. Riko's anger had subsided and business talks were rolling in casually.
In the middle of the romantic dinner, Riko's phone suddenly rang. A message came in calling. At first, Riko did not want to talk about it. However, seeing the name of the sender listed, Riko's attention was provoked: Mr. Dibyo the Dean of FISIP.
Suddenly the young man frowned while grabbing a cell phone. “Sorry, briefly yes Mon,” he said asking permission on Mona.
The girl nodded slowly while looking at Riko's phone curiously. However, Mona tries not to be too seen meddling. He just glanced silently while pretending to slice the beef steak.
Riko, meanwhile, had already opened a short message from the Dean of his faculty.
“Riko, when do you start guidance. Your script was in ACC a week ago but you never came to college. Want to graduate?” type Mr. Dibyo in the short message.
Riko's eyes are rounded. Before replying to the message from the Dean, Riko took the time to check on the campus website about the list of students whose title is already in ACC. And sure enough, his name is already on that list. Instantly, Riko felt worried. Should he finish his studies or focus on his guild?
