High School Soldier
Inner war: defeat everything

After Dina gets a report from the company's medical army, that one of the members was injured as a result of being attacked by a group of sharp-armed men, she rushes towards the underground city clinic and leaves Herlina with Nio. Nio checked the clock on his phone. He still has plenty of time before doing his ‘aksi’.

“Geng? Nio, do you think the Baron group was involved in attacking one of our members? I think after the news of Baron's disappearance, his group no longer makes a tantrum in Karanganyar,” Herlina said.

One other name that bothered his mind made Nio not enjoy the already cold coffee. He thought it was not the Baron group that attacked one of the company members, after evidence the police had arrested all the people Baron Nio got from the team of journalists. Maybe the work he did later was much more troublesome than he had imagined.

“All members of the Baron group have been arrested by the police, right? Because, they no longer have protection from him,” replied Nio.

“Baron has long since disappeared, so has Rio. Do you know anything about that weirdness?” ask Herlina again.

“No. I served a very long time in another world, there is no way I know the latest news in Indonesia. In fact, I was so shocked after the commander of the Peace Forces told me that Rio disappeared suddenly.”

Her lie-filled answer made Herlina believe. Nio calmly took a sip of cold black coffee, although all he felt was his first fight with Rio that made him again have one hand.

Herlina considered whether Nio's answer was reasonable or not, she was in style by holding her chin and showing the expression of a thinking genius. He believes that the information the Peacekeepers received was much later than it should have been. He understood Nio who looked surprised and did not know anything about the disappearance of Baron and Rio.

“In addition to the Baron group, the self-declared gang ‘Bacem’ Village Guards also made Soloraya in an uproar.”

“Oh, didn't you try to investigate? There is one group of journalists who tried to peel the case, you see,” Nio replied to Herlina's statement.

“A brave group trying to uncover the secrets of Bacem Village?! If they manage to do so, the government must give them the title of hero. If they need our help, I will give it with a heart of joy. By the way, why did you know that there was a group of journalists who would investigate Bacem Village?”

“So they really exist and are a threat if you can say that, huh? So, my job will really leave a stain.”

Herlina took a teapot of coffee that had been warmed on a small gas stove, then poured it on her glass and Nio's paper cup. He showed a surprised expression when Nio said that he was working with a team of journalists to uncover the secrets of Bacem Village. All he knew was that there were bad rumors about the village.

Both the military and police have sent people to investigate the whereabouts of Bacem Village. Once they discovered the whereabouts and information about the residents and the village, the military and police man never returned and no trace of him was found. The government has declared Bacem Village a big case, and it is very dangerous to conduct an inspection of the village. There are a number of major cases that Herlina is aware of, one of which is the Strong Medicine project and the Bacem Village itself.

“Why did you accept the job?”

The threat generated in the operation investigating Bacem Village was as deadly as fighting on the battlefield. The government could send fighter jets to destroy the village, but there were some obstacles. One of the obstacles is the information that a company slaughtered thousands of enemy soldiers who had surrendered, so that the world organization considered a war crime. Because of the existence of ‘protection’ indirectly from abroad, although it caused a lot of noise, the existence of Bacem Village still survives to this day.

From Nio's words, Herlina assessed that there was a potential for Nio to use force in research work, so it is unlikely that it will end in ‘net’.

“They... that journalist team, promised royalties if such big news managed to spread,” replied Nio.

“Including Strong Medicine project case?”

“Ya.”

Strong Medicine has given the TNI a wide range of views from the world, utilizing their young soldiers as guinea pigs to project extremely high failure rates. If it does not immediately find the parties involved in the case, the name of the Indonesian military is not considered clean. Investigating such a case with one person is impossible, the government even almost gave up on uncovering the case.

Herlina said after drinking a sip of her coffee, “Omong-by the way, about the project ‘Featured Army’ is preparing to the next level. You may be able to apply to be part of that project, of course if you want your right hand and eye back.”

“There's a chance I'll be one of the project's guinea pigs again. Basically, we can think of the creation of the Superior Army as the final version of the super weapon creation project, right?”

“Military won't let go of a potential person like you, and you might get that kind of facility. If you take part in the Superior Army project, you can walk around with a high-tech body. The muscle of the iron bone wire is no longer nonsense. Well, although there is a possibility that the project will take advantage of the unlucky person, by replacing his entire body with a machine, except the brain.”

Dina suddenly entered the meeting room, sat quietly and finished the rest of her coffee that had not been thrown away by Herlina. He ignored the astonished gazes of Nio and Herlina, and answered Nio's question.

“Then, the success rate of the Superior Army project is as low as Strong Medicine, right? If we are trying to replace the whole body with a machine..”.

Dina interrupts Nio's words, narrowing when knowing the fact there are still many shortcomings on the artificial hand that Nio used before, “Indeed, , and the bionic hand you once used was the prototype version before the final version to be used in the Superior Army project. Equally low does not mean the success rate is zero. If there is still a chance even if only 0.1 percent, scientists will take that opportunity.”

“When you are only a doctor, not a scientist,” Herlina said with a mocking expression.

“Doctor's only, huh? In that case, who was in charge of the bionic hand-mounting operation for Nio? Curiosity is like opium for people like me, you know.”

“Let's get back to a more serious topic,” Herlina said as she crossed her hands in front of her chest. “I know you have to do two jobs, uncover multiple cases while protecting the team of journalists you work with. Those journalists may have information that gets you a lead, so their safety is a priority. If your plan is leaked, and there are outsiders who hear it, you could be in serious trouble.”

Nio showed a serious look, as if he wanted to work his own way. He imagines doing work like an agent or detective, then getting caught and interrogated without regard for human rights. As a military officer, Nio knew how to deal with interrogations involving physical torture to cross the boundaries of normal humans, but what about civilians like Sonia, Buyung, and Upik?

“One more thing,” that said is Dina. “I still don't know one more thing. What are you going to do for your sister?”

Nio froze in his seat, then replied five seconds later, “I won't do anything.”

“Not going? So you'll just sit sweetly, and stare weakly as Arunika sits in the underwearing with another man?”

Nio stood up from his seat, then looked at Dina who was asking the question. He said, “Doctor Dina, don't you know I don't have enough strength to go against the Arunika family and Major Darsono?”

“Ya..” Reply Dina briefly.

In addition, Nio has no power to report all of Darsono's actions during the – war where he was also involved as a subordinate soldier who ‘penut’ – even though in order to restore the good name of the Indonesian military.

“I... I still love Arunika. I'm ready to do anything for him. But, I cannot let heartbreak dominate my feelings.”

When the war took place not long ago, after Nio saw many friends and people killed enemies who came from other worlds, after Nio saw Arunika frightened to see the enemy's treatment of civilians, and the, Nio seemed to lose control over himself and finally found a reason to live. He enlisted as a member of the Army of the Republic of Indonesia Students, started the struggle of enlisted, and progressed at an astonishing pace.

One thing that moved his heart and kept Nio alive was the hatred of his enemies, by taking them out one by one from his list of enemies. He retains the heartache and grudges to defeat those who ruined his life.

“My main reason for fighting is to keep Arunika until she finds her happiness. Kupkir he will be happy with a man of his own choice, but it turns out I was wrong..”.

Why did I fight until it was like this? For truth? What truth would it be? Does Arunika's truth not find true happiness? Truth cannot defeat evil. Only evil can defeat evil. I now have that power.

Nio said that in his heart, with a sharp eye, making Dina and Herlina tremble. The two of them felt the mood change to be rather unpleasant after Nio said that.

“Everything I said didn't get to her..”.

As he spoke, all of Nio's thoughts slowly merged. Now, he knew what to do to deal with Darsono wanting to marry Arunika.

“Since we lived together, without knowing Arunika was often in touch with her mother's family, I owe a lot to Arunika. I don't think I'll be able to give it back my whole life. I would do anything for her to be happy. I want Arunika to realize something. Although I have many unbearable grudges, but he deserves to find his true happiness. But, if only I could make it happen..”.

Then, Nio realized something. She has a deep sense of resentment and resentment towards her former superior, which means she must be prepared to give up on the feelings she has maintained for Arunika.

Nio closed his left eye. In the middle of the darkness, he saw Arunika who was smiling sweetly. However, he did not know who that perfect smile was for.

I'll do anything to beat it all…

Nio's expression seemed calm, even though the man had a terrible plan to avenge the actions of all parties that made him have feelings of resentment and heartache.

Herlina then raised her voice, “If the proposal goes well, then Arunika gets married, has children, and lives happily, but she can't possibly forget your feelings. You can repair a broken body part, but what about the feeling? You can't fix the broken feelings. Then, if it's too late, and you don't have the strength to fight back, can you let it go? Can you do that?”

“I will do anything to get back Arunika, although my actions will be hated by many. Thanks for the chat remember after quite a long time did not meet.”

I will do anything to defeat all my enemies…

Herlina suddenly patted Nio's right shoulder, and said with a gentle expression;

“To reduce your mind load, can you come with me tomorrow?”

When Herlina said that, she and the major saw someone passing by in the meeting room that was closed enough for the high-ranking members down.
