TAK*TAK*WUSH*!
I, Rashid Londerik, the man who started out complaining about having no purpose in life has now found meaning in my life. Right now, the direction of my path is shining brighter. Step by step my goal is getting closer. And this is also a sign, that this journey will meet its end.
You will finally be in front of my eyes, Nazrul Aji!
My strong desire from the beginning, and the end. From the moment I read and heard the fire documents that Nova had given me back then until now, she was the one I had targeted my life with.
Is this the embodiment of revenge?
It might be, but inside me, I still feel something odd.
But since I've been devoured by emotions, I don't feel that and move on.
I will destroy whoever is in front of me, even if it is my brother!
......................
Very crowded urban roads are filled with high buildings and building alleys scattered everywhere.
Passing through the hallways, Rashid ran like someone chasing a killer.
The complacent laughter that was painted on his mouth, the wide eyes that developed his face, and the rapid movement of the hand swings made the man seem to be spurring his lungs to the maximum.
The people around him looked on with confusion and disgust, but no one dared to turn their heads or comment on what the man was doing.
They seemed to be unable to move their necks and could only see what they were seeing before.
......................
Elsewhere, somewhere else,
Podoagung School, the ceremony of giving updates to the top 10 students has been chaotic.
Smoke everywhere, poles and benches scattered, the podium that had stood upright now collapsed and was abandoned by the living creatures who were with him.
However, there was one small movement near the ruins of the teacher room door.
*Shelf!
The door that had been stuck had to be broken until it crashed out and was destroyed.
"Huh... Huhhhhh... Huh.(take a breath)" A short woman with twintail blonde hair wails around with a face of disbelief. The clothes he was wearing were now tattered from being scratched by the ruins.
His eyes did not show much surprise, for something like this had happened before, but for something as powerful as this. This just happened this time.
"What's really going on?"
"Where are the others?"
"Where is Erika?"
His friend's name became the only one that remembered in his current memory. It is not without reason, the woman is the first to realize the trigger of this incident, and she is also the one who tried to stop it before it is too late.
"It looks like he failed, but he should be around here somewhere..."
Tasya, single-handedly trying to surround this school alone.
.....
A few minutes passed, even hours...
But he didn't find anyone here. There were only things scattered here, and there were no signs of life at all here.
"Xander!"
"Samuel!"
"Fredrica!"
He tried to call one by one the names of people he knew, and the result was still the same. No answer at all.
"Rash-o"
Until he almost called that name. The name of the person who is not even present at this time.
As the name entered his mind, he tried to remember anyone who turned into a maze and destroyed everything around them.
"Dahlia.., Haran.., and Sophia..."
"Is this a coincidence?"
While trying to think of that, a foot sound that sounded like running led towards him.
*Tak *Tak *Tak
"Hallo, is anyone there?" The voice tried to summon Tasya who was in front of him.
The two of them could not see each other, white smoke that resembled fog blocked their vision. But, whose name has been working together for a long time (though only a few months for Tasya) must understand each other.
Tasya instantly knew who the owner of the voice and silhouette was.
"Samuel?! Is that you?!"
"Yes, it's me! Tasya, is that you?!"
"Yes!"
Getting confirmation, Samuel tried to get closer and make himself who was previously just a silhouette now really look completely.
His black body is muscular but slender to be like a jumpscare of its own for anyone who may have never seen it.
"Samuel..."
"It's a mess...!"
"Calm yourself...! W-what just happened after that?!"
"It happened more or less like this..."
Samuel looked back towards the direction where he had appeared. It was as if he was staring at a nightmare that was never lost.
......................
Events before chaos.
*Shelf!
Sophia who was standing on the podium with 9 other students suddenly collapsed and convulsed. His legs and hands shook, and his eyes opened wide but seemed to see nothing.
"Gkkrrrh!" (Sophia)
"Sophia, what happened?!" Astra who was standing next to him immediately tried to check the state of the girl.
The disciples and teachers who were around the one who had put on a joyful face now turned confused.
"Hey, Sophia! Why you?!" Now Moka immediately jumped on the podium and helped check the condition of her friend.
While patting Sophia on the cheek, Moka tried to resuscitate her dying friend.
"Hey! Help us! There's a convulsing person here!" Sounds from under the podium and close to the terrace were heard loudly from the scene.
The voice came from a Magic 2nd grader student, he came towards the podium with a face panting. "Dahlia suddenly fainted and didn't" But upon seeing what was going on on the podium, the student disconnected and stared dumbly at what was happening.
"What's really going on?" On the other hand, Samuel who was near the podium tried to turn to the scene of the two incidents.
"It seems like there are people who are very happy after finding their prey..." A grinning voice, yet it sounded like enduring the pain instantly appeared beside him.
"Huh?"
Looking back, Haran and Erika were standing there. Erika put on a serious face while Haran grinned while holding her chest.
What is he holding? Is that sick? Even a Haran-level person is still not strong enough to withstand the pain?
"Forget it, we must hurry!"
"What rush?! What for?!"
Erika pointed towards the fallen Sophia, then pointed towards the fallen Dahlia as well.
"Bring the victims away from the crowd, if we hurry. Then things like the time of the Teacher Assessment might be avoided."
Hearing the words Teacher Assessment, Samuel immediately tucked his narrowed eyes, his hands crossed and exposed his large veins and muscles in his dark skin. The man realized what Erika had meant.
It's just, I'm lacking info with what happened with yesterday's events.
"Whatever happens now, it's better if we act a little faster without thinking about something that's still gray."
On the other hand, Xander walked over from behind. His face that last night looked crazy now turned into a picture as usual. As for the wound on his face, no one asked. Privacy is privacy.
"Me too! I don't understand what's going on, but if you save someone! I'm the one who's going to advance ahead!" Tasya with her twintail blonde hair walked closer to the crowd of teachers.
Her hair swayed at each step along with an optimistic smile that widened as she approached the others.
"Xanders... Tasya...?"
Although they were gray, but they tried not to think too much.
On the other hand, Samuel realizes that Xander is hiding something and believes that the man knows what is really going on right now.
