I Was Forced to Become a Teacher in the Prestigious Fighter School
Episodes 16. The Mistakes I Keep Making

My brother and I sat at the dinner table. Our breakfast was finished. My brother was waiting for my answer while crossing his arms.

"You better not work for Nova without my knowledge." My brother patted with his right index finger.

"Why did you suddenly say that?"

"I made you a teacher so you wouldn't have to deal with that grandma anymore!" He raised his volume.

"Well?.....Why are you suddenly banning me?! It wasn't you who let me live like that, back then?!"

I try not to raise my volume. Resisting emotions is something I am used to.

"God...!" Brother's speechless.

The sound of cars passing in front of the house is clearly heard from inside the house. The silence approached us. None of us are honest.

"Why are you so pretentious....?" The voice of my brother.

"I suddenly cared about you because you looked so tormented..."

"The day your friend died..."

"You destroyed all of your 3 royal figures out of annoyance..."

"You're so depressed..."

"But tears don't come out of your face at all.

My sister recalled the incident a week before I became a teacher at my current school. That day, my friend.not.but my best friend since school died of illness.

I don't get it. I saw my classmate crying during the funeral. It's just, why don't I? Shouldn't I be the one suffering the most? He's the only one of my friends who fought to stop me from going to that place. If I had followed her words, it might not have happened.

After serving, I could only lie down. Ask myself, am I not sane? I worked for him for about 5 years. And I've lost my humanity that far.

I looked at the figures of my 3 kingdoms neatly arranged in the glass cabinet. The feeling of anger I want to give.

I got up from the bed, walked up to the glass cabinet, the cupboard was slammed, the glass and the figures inside were smashed.

"Why?...Whyyy?...WHY?!"

I could only slowly step back and lean my body against the wall. So far as I go?

Moments later, my consciousness was gone because I put her to bed. I felt someone embrace me.

"I'm sorry...All this time, I could only watch you suffer..."

A voice I heard from my sleep.

--------------------

Back at the dinner table, I left my brother who was still down on the chair and prepared to go to school. There are still things I should do on my day off.

Is this gonna be okay? Of course not. I thought, I hated it from the beginning. He suddenly spoke to me after a long time. He asked me to become a teacher like we were very familiar brothers long ago.

He forced me to use his powers as vice regent. But from his eyes, he had a purpose. He wants to keep me away from Nova and his dirty work.

I was silent thinking about those things on the bus I was riding on.

------------------------

I walked into the fighting arena just like Bahar said. There are a lot of people coming here. They are important people. I recognize their faces.

Class representatives were gathered in a room for a meeting. Bahar led the meeting.

Someone was sitting next to him. From the wrinkled old face and the mole under his left eye. He was the governor who sent 3 eavesdroppers last night, Halim Perdana Kusuma.

I sat next to Vicky. He could only soften his lips when he knew that I had to sit next to him.

The meeting ended about 4 hours. The content of the meeting is not very important. Halim consumed a lot of time when giving a speech. about 1 and a half hours he spent just for that.

I walked out of the meeting room with regret. I should have chosen to look at Hakam's situation in the palace. But I just remembered that I'm the only one who's empty right now.

I tried to walk home, but someone patted my right shoulder. I turned my face away, a familiar face I saw. I immediately touched the screen of my phone in my pocket just in case.

"Are you Rashid?" Halim asked me with a fake smile, typical of a politician.

"Yes(nodding)..."

Halim took me to an empty classroom. Our place was far away from the arena and meeting place earlier. No one can meet us here. They would rather walk out than into a place too deep.

"It seems like no one is following us." Halim watches the surroundings through the classroom window.

I bowed my body and put my right hand on my chest. Hinted for quick.

"Include me, Halim. Governor of East Dawa Province." He introduced himself.

(I didn't ask your name, old man. Everyone knows who you are.)

"Rashid Londerik." I nodded my head.

"......hahahaha," he laughed.

"Do you know why I called you? You must clearly know? There's no way you're pretending you don't remember who you used to work with. Yes, Rashid Londerik...." He smiled as he leaned against the wall.

I just shut up. He clearly understood his point.

"so yeah...I take your silence as a yes."

"Relax, son. I'm just here to bet on you."

"You heard it too, didn't you Nova?"

He realized Nova was hearing through my phone. I called him just in case.

"Yes...I heard it. It's very clear. Rashid put your phone on the table!"

As he wishes. I put my phone to the desk in class. Now, Nova is like being between us.

"It's rare that you'll bet." Nova said she was shocked to find out.

"Because this will be my last and your last time. I'll fight it out here!" Halim clasped her hands and raised them to chest level.

"alright...What do you want?"

"At the final battle of teacher assessment. If it's your subordinate, Rashid can win the final against 3rd class magic. Then I'll give you this." Halim pulled out a blueprint that rolled out of her pocket.

Halim is the leader and inventor of Pageblug technology. The components of Pageblug are very difficult to copy. No one has yet succeeded in mimicking this technology.

"Oh..."

Although only with a voice I could see Nova's amazed face there. A bet with a big prize. Then the goods placed by Nova must also be large.

"So what do you want from me? Blueprint from Anitya?"

"No... I don't need that. I only asked for one thing."

"What's that?"

"I want you to cancel your new project!"

"That project? So that's what you're after? Heh!" Nova's laughter sounded.

"All right! This will be a bet that benefits the winning side and harms the losing side. I really like this." Nova is excited in this bet.

It is rare for me to hear Nova's excited voice.

"I accept this bet.....You hear that, Mr President?!"

Nova mentioned someone who was not in this conversation. Halim just curled her mouth.

"Even through cell phones, you're still very sensitive." Halim pulled out a cell phone that was calling someone.

"You're the same thing." I insinuated.

"I've heard your wishes. A deal has been made. The loser has to do what he promised in this meeting."

SIR SIR SIR SIR!

The voice of the president hitting the hammer from Halim's phone rang out. This would be an absolute bet. The winner and loser must not appeal. Something that is made into a bet should not be more or less.

I got involved even further...
