I Was Forced to Become a Teacher in the Prestigious Fighter School
Episode 43's. A Heart that Freezes
Erika and I were facing each other on their way home from school. His face looked awkward because of something. He wanted to ask me but did not dare to say it.
"What's up.., Erika.." I asked to calm down.
Erika who was speechless immediately looked at me with a clear glance. "I heard that you went for a walk yesterday with the students at this school, is that true?" He asked nervously.
Information spreads very quickly. I don't think that this will be a rumor in just 1 day. But just now when he was with Haran, he didn't mention this at all. Maybe he doesn't care about romance stuff.
I lowered my head slowly and still put on a reassuring flat face.
"Yes, why?" I asked back.
"Are you and he dating?" Erika asked by scratching her cheek with her hand.
His blushed cheeks and timid look dispelled his tsundere traits. He now looks like a dandere who just realized that he is a losing team like the one in the manga.
"I refused it..." I was still not finished, but Erika's face suddenly turned hopeful. "...He forced me... I'm just following his will..." Erika's hopeful face disappeared after I continued my words.
He took his eyes off.
I'm going to pretend I don't know what he's feeling right now. The pain within him cannot be treated with just my words.
"Why did you take it?!" Erika shrugged both of her shoulders in high pitched
His desperate face scared me. Right now his face looks really bad, even I don't dare to look at him.
"He told me, let's treat our trauma together." I gave a brief excuse without guilt or blushing.
Erika walked back 3 steps with a sad face. His hands clenched by holding his chest while holding back a cry.
"Stupid!" Erika suddenly gave me a hard fist towards the cheek.
I who saw the direction of the blow could only slightly repel his attack. My feelings of guilt came after all this time, unfortunately I have not been used to those feelings.
His face seemed to not believe what I had done. He who tried to hit me instead fell to the floor because his attack missed. His eyes looked hollow, perhaps not even aware of what was in front of him.
"Stupid..." On that floor, Erika let out her tears.
I don't know what to do at a time like this. Usually all I see are those who are covered in blood while crying like Erika's current position.
Shaking in my hand suddenly happened. I saw my hands shaking like they were cold. 'What is this, why is it happening? It was a hot afternoon, I thought.
I don't know what's going on, but I realized that the vibration is not from the cold temperature or anything else. It comes from my heart feeling guilty.
I walked towards Erika who was lying down. He who was aware of my approaching presence tried to get up from his bed and stand up. His palm was directed towards me to ask me to stop my intention.
I was silent after he indicated to stop.
"Why?" Confused me.
"No, for me it's too soon to be sad." Erika wiped her tears and forced to smile "You still haven't felt it.... So, I hope that one day the one who opened that gap is neither the boy nor Sophia..." He showed his hand towards me in a stammering tone.
His eyes stared intently at my face which was still gawking. "...The one who will open a gap in your heart is me!" Erika continued her sentence with a serious face and pointed to herself.
'Eh?!' I said in my heart at a loss to see Erika.
I haven't done anything yet but he's already restored his emotions very quickly. A feeling of envy came to me after seeing him be able to do that.
"As long as your heart isn't open, I'll assume our fight isn't over yet." His face smiled confidently. "Since this is a fight from the three of us, this still continues."
My gawking face did not understand subconsciously saying something related to my past. "Three-state war." I said inadvertently.
Erika who heard that was immediately shocked. But her smiley lips were not lost, instead she added my words.
"Yes, this is a 3-nation fight in the absence of the 4th party(Jin). If the party shows up, then I'll destroy it, "although it looks terrible, he has no malicious intent in his words.
For me who have tried to analyze this, this is just an ordinary competition of humans. I'm not taking him seriously.
The problem ends without me helping.
After which, I immediately rushed to the principal's place.
My promise must be completed, but completing the mission for me is all that matters. That is my life principle.
"Excuse me, can I come in?" I knocked on the principal's door.
The room lights are on. It's late now, I've had a lot of time because of it. The meeting that should be done after school at 3 pm even became 6 pm.
"Come in, you've been a long time!" Bahar allowed me while rebuking my mistake that was late.
After getting permission to enter, I opened the door and entered the room. Bahar's annoyed face was seen on her face sitting in her chair.
But his desire to keep scolding me soon he lost and focused more on his task.
"Next week, as you know, it's exam day for the students. We're going to have a guest from the royal family. If not mistaken, they are from the Tyas family. They're gonna send his daughter to visit here." Bahar said while smoking his cigarette.
Hearing Tyas' name my mind immediately remembered something. But where? Let it go, and then remember for yourself.
"Then...?" many confused.
"Unlike the president who must have a bodyguard, Tyas' daughter will only come using her luxury sedan car delivered by her personal driver." Bahar answered my question.
"Then from that, we need some teachers to be his bodyguards while visiting." Bahar added.
"So...?" I added my lot.
"Well, you never talk much but ask never understand" she lamented to me."I originally wanted the top 10 at the time of the teacher test yesterday to be supervisors, but when I saw, on average they were from your class and 3rd grade. So I'm willing to point at a new face to be the watchdog, I'm sure guests will get bored if I keep pointing at the same people many times." Bahar raised the list of names of teachers at Podoagung Fighting School.
"I want you to choose the names of the teachers you think are appropriate to be our guest bodyguards during the exam." His smile was visible as he raised those names.
I was surprised by Bahar's wishes. "Why did you choose me?" My toot.
His face shrunk after hearing me ask again. His hand held his forehead.
"Huh..., do you need to ask why, Champion?" He mentioned my title that I got from the teacher's assessment.
I honestly don't know where the title came from. But they never said that there will be a title award as well.
My eyes widened slightly and then nodded in understanding what Bahar said. My eyes again looked at the paper containing the names and lists of the strength of the teachers here.
There's a name in blue there.
"Why is Xander's name inherited?" I asked while bringing his face closer to the paper he was still holding.
Bahar was surprised after hearing me ask again. This time his expression was in disbelief.
"Didn't you know?!"
"What?"
"Ah come on, you'll know for yourself when the exam takes place. Anyway Xander's name will automatically come in and you're also included in that, so just pick 8 people, mengert!"
Puzzle again, I'm being lazy with that. Whatever it is, it won't affect me either.
"Well, I'll choose it. Then what are you doing? Waiting for me?" I asked again while taking the paper he was holding.
Bahar picked up her suitcase and equipment to pack up immediately. His face smiled at me while holding one of my shoulders.
"Certainly go home! It's late" with a smile that mocked him leaving home.
I let out my breath, this happened because I came too late. He who was waiting for me all this time was proof that he really wanted me to finish this alone.
I walked out of that room. The school was dark and the lights were turned off.
I was sitting alone in that school building. One room lamp I turned on to illuminate the paper he was given. The names of the teachers at the school were taken one by one.
It's gonna be a long night.
SERIATE
