Uhhh...!
I woke up from my sleep.
"Aragh!" The sunlight that pierced through the window glass seemed to burn this weak me to the point of blistering.
Shit, I remembered that again (wielding both hands with anger and regret).
Every time I remember that, I somehow suddenly feel a tremendous pain. All those memories burned me alive amid the emptiness of my soul.
"Hey Rashid, why are you yelling like that?" My brother walked in and looked at me with a stupid look.
Both hands held his waist. In his right hand there is a shoe that if held will immediately burn the skin.
"Nothing (throwing face)... Y-you're cooking?"
"Yes (smiling to forget my problem)! So, let's eat!"
"Hmm(weakly bowing)..."
I followed my brother to the dining table.
While sitting there, I noticed the strangeness that had become commonplace in this house.
What oddity?
Of course how to dress.
Today, right in front of my face. He wears formal and expensive clothes.
Suits are like successful young entrepreneurs...
Nonsense, you want to gaet another girl, right? For THE HARD TIME!
I was silent despite wanting to scream at him.
Because it was a waste so I kept quiet. He is not someone who likes to be told.
"Rasyid, aren't you doing any holiday activities?"
My sister asked as she started her breakfast.
"No, no (shit)..."
There's something I have to do (fix my gun).
"Ah, yasuda... Then you take care of the house, huh? Brother will have business (smile)."
Disgusts...
I know where you're going.
Even my eyes are now seeing your target.
The woman was standing in front of the house checking her hape.
The poor woman.
***
Breakfast was over, my brother started rushing out of the house in a hurry. Even so, he still took the time to justify his clothes.
"Sister go! Keep home! Da!"
*Brack(the sound of the door closing)!
That way he left the house.
"Hah(sighs)..."
Fortunately, he didn't know I broke my gun. If he finds out, then he will definitely force me to buy a new one.
While he's gone, I can now start repairing my weapon.
*Tulut(incoming message)!
But it's not that easy. New problems have come.
Message from an unknown number?
Oh, naw... It's from the group.
[Good morning, Mr. Rashid!]
[How are you?]
[Are you relaxed?]
[If so, we of the 1st grade Physical teachers would like you to attend a welcome party for the two of you]
(The two of you in question are me and Tasya)
[Come to the place I've been spotted in this message]
[Lokasi∆], message sent 1 minute ago.
I really wanted to get through it, but in order to fix my life.
I have to be brave enough to say yes to them.
Think of it as a step to get to know other teachers well.
Anyway I promised him (the one who mattered to me).
[Alright, I'll come]
[I'll come a little slow, but definitely come], the message is replied.
I locked the house and left it with my job.
***
When in the designated location.
A large building stood in front of me.
'This is a football field also lost.'
The parking lot is also large. But, despite being so large, this parking lot looks crowded filled with cars.
It's sunday.
I looked back at my phone screen and tried to check the location of the meeting in detail.
[Photo∆], new message.
*click!
When it opened, the photo showed an old table and an old sofa where two familiar women in my memory were sitting there.
The only thing I could easily identify from the image was a fire hydrant and someone standing nearby.
If it's not wrong it's in~(i'm starting to look from right to left).
Ah, that!
Found it!
"Ha-hai.(plain smile)." I greeted the man standing near the fire hydrant.
"Hmm?(looking at me confusedly)"
This guy, though old but he looks cool. His face was like a handsome prince antagonist in the movies.
"..."
"..."
Why does he keep looking at me like that?
"..."
Come on, say something!
"Me, Rashid..." I'd better introduce myself first.
"Ah, so you, yes, Rashid(surprised)?!"
When my name was mentioned, a person with black skin, narrow eyes, and a large body filled with muscles came to approach the two of us.
"Ah, you've finally come too, when I thought you wouldn't have come (smile)."
This guy, although he is sturdy and looks strong, but his nature is different from what I thought. He was more cheerful in my opinion.
"Who said I wouldn't come?"
Forget about it, who wants me not to come?
"He(pointed towards Erika who was sitting with her arms crossed)..."
From his gaze, I felt an aura of hostility from him. He hates me now. Even he did not realize that his lips were injured because they were bitten continuously.
"Hi!" I said hello like nothing happened between us.
"Hello, Mr. Rashid!"
That cheerful voice?!
I looked at the source of the voice.
There's no mistake, it's Tasya. He is indeed a completely different person 180° is with me. His positive aura was everywhere.
"... Hello, Rashid(waste of face)..." Erika seemed to have a problem with yesterday's problem.
"Forget about him, introduce me Samuel, Samuel Yucheng, just call Samuel!"
This person who introduced himself as Samuel seemed to be aware of the awkwardness of the two of us, so he immediately threw the topic in another direction.
If he was Samuel meant.(looking towards the man who looks like an arrogant prince) According to all the list of members of the group that only contains 6 people, then he must be Earl Xander Xander.
Wait, that means he is indeed a prince?!
Will he make a troublesome person in my life (sighs)?
"Why are you looking at me with such a desperate look?!" (Xander)
"It's nothing, nice to meet you, Xander..."
To begin with, I tried to call him by his usual name.
I wonder how she reacted when I called her that.
"Oh, you know my name, huh?"
"You're a prince, who wouldn't not know you, Xander?" (Samuel)
I nodded following.
Actually I don't know at all, but Samuel's mummy helped then I better not waste it.
"Tch! It's hard to be famous..." He's not happy.
"Come, come on, forget about this. All together, let's go in and have some fun inside!"
Samuel led this horde by being at the very front.
"okay!" (Tash)
"Hmm(nodden)..." (Xander)
"What are we gonna do?" My toot.
"Go in and you'll know!" (Samuel)
"Sir Rashid, you never seem to enter the entertainment arena?" (Tash)
"Yes, what is that place?"
The short woman smiled wryly, "this is the place!"
Oh, really?! I was unconscious!
"Then, just follow us, I'm sure your flat face will be pliable as you enter it!" Tasya followed Samuel and Xander first.
When I want to follow him. My hand was held back by a soft grip that locked quite firmly.
"You look normal after everything you've done, was that a natural thing you did yesterday? How the hell did you do that? Who are YOU really?!"
The woman who shut her mouth immediately bombarded me with many questions.
"I've lost it, I'm his sister's deputy regent, nothing more."
"It's not like that, I mean-"
"Is it forbidden?" I asked, this time my tone was a little flat. "If you do, then I won't do it again."
"How can you say it's a tile? How am I going to believe that YOU won't do it again?!"
Looks like my trust in him has been shattered.
"I'm the one who just follows orders." I took off his hand. "And right now, you're my supervisor. If you forbid it, then I'll stop doing it, too."
I followed the three people who were far away.
Meanwhile, Erika was staring at my back with a peck while not believing what I just said.
***
Inside that place called the entertainment arena. The three of them seemed to be enjoying the place. The cheerful smile on their faces showed that they were currently like ABGs who did not see their future.
"They look like they're enjoying it..." (Erican)
I stared from a distance.
Beside me was Erika who was putting on a dull face while drinking warm coffee. He is still confused by my words.
Looks like I have to say something, or not, he will continue like this.
"Erika." i..." I looked at her while holding my chest. "I'm sorry about yesterday."
"Urkhhhhh(He was suddenly shocked to the point of choking)?!!! Uhuk! Uhuk! Whatdidyou say?"
"Yes, I'm sorry about yesterday...!"
"Not so, why all of a sudden?"
"The problem must be resolved immediately... It's not good for my supervisor to be upset with me."
"Rasid...?"
"Sorry, a little mumbling."
Erika's gaze that was full of fear and annoyance instantly turned into full of questions and worries.
"I-I'll take this as-"
But just before Erika said it, someone suddenly interrupted her speech.
"What are you two talking about? It looks serious." Xander was suddenly among us.
"Aah?!" (Me and Erica)
"Xander, why are you suddenly here?!" (Erican)
"I'm a user of the light element. Coming suddenly is my forte!" He said with pride.
"More to 'your expertise in eavesdropping and stalking people without being discovered'." (Erican)
"It's very sharp your mouth, just like always..."
Xander's arrival made me realize.
Not only was he aware of the behavior of the two of us, but the entire teacher was aware of it.
They looked at us with suspicious and timid looks.
"Ah(scrutting her hair), I can't believe Erika is a new child predator..." (Samuel)
"Well?!"
"That's it, don't cover it up! Everything is clear in our eyes."
Samuel glanced at me with his smile.
"Hey new boy, you better be careful! He's so fierce."
"Stop saying weird things to her!" Erika pouting. "There's nothing between us! There are only supervisors and people to watch, understand?!"
Erika walked away to calm her mind. He went to one of the arcade machines near a large field inside the building.
That spot... No doubt, it was a fighting arena.
The sling!
For some reason every time I saw the battle arena, I remembered my first day of teaching.
"He's angry." Samuel laughed without any guilt.
"Huh?" But he immediately glanced at me. "What do you see, Syid?"
"Arena fights, it looks like no one wears."Xander walked closer to the arena.
"Your eyes are so sharp, Syid! Hey Xander(walk closer), let's fight!"
"No way, you've lost so many times without winning at all! If you want to test your abilities, you better try the opponents below me like the two new kids (pointing towards me and Tasya)."
My feelings are not good.
Samuel's gaze seemed to have been locked onto the two of us ever since Xander diverted.
"Tasya, how about we fight?"
He even bluntly asked for it?!
"I-i?! A match?! N-can't! Pageblug and my element are not opponents who can play Mr. Samuel!"
Oah, Tasya already knows the type of weapons and elements of Samuel even though he has not met. He seemed to be looking forward to this reception to the point that he memorized all of these teachers.
My feelings are not good.
"Well (scratching hair), if Tasya can't, then (towards me)..."
No, I hate this.
"Rashid, what if you're my tagline opponent?!"
I looked to my right and left hoping for help.
(Take to the right and to the left)
But all of that was in vain. They all seem to have surrendered to me.
Anyway, I'm the only one left.
"Then (grabbing pageblug in my pocket)..."
It instantly made me remember.
"Ah, looks like my pageblug missed (smiling wryly)."
Fortunately it was broken.
I can escape this fight easily.
"Look, you can wear mine." (Xander)
But things didn't go well.
Xander lent me his pageblug. "My pageblug is a rapier, I'm sure almost anyone can use it."
"Eh..." Can't escape anymore.
"What are you waiting for, Rashid? Let's go to the arena!" (Samuel)
It seems like it's destiny.
After all, right now I should not be too overreacting.
As far as I know the principle of being normal is not being strong, but being among them.
I'd better get myself between Samuel and Tasya in strength.
Then...
Right now we are facing each other in the middle of the fighting arena.
Xander stood between us as the referee.
"Samuel, activate your pageblug!" (Xander)
"All right!"
He took his pageblug out of his pocket and activated it.
*clink!
The pageblug formed a long-range sniper riffle, or more specifically, the AWM.
"Rashid, it's your turn!" (Xander)
I activated my pageblug (although borrowed).
It turned into a sword-like weapon but was extremely thin and pointed.
"Both fighters ready?"
Aba-aba will begin.
Samuel and I began the position of being ready to go forward and fight.
On the other hand, Tasya who was watching from a distance clenched tightly as if waiting for the fight of the two of us.
Erika on the other hand, she looked unconcerned, yet her eyes were back and forth glancing in this direction even though she was focused on her game.
"Start!"
When the cue is shouted.
We both came forward and greeted each other in full force.
The fight went a little unequal, I who used the weapon should be in the advantaged position, but it seems like the theory does not work here.
Samuel with his bare hands cornered me several times and overwhelmed me.
He didn't even give me time to breathe for a second.
In the end I lost because I bounced and Samuel shot me with his sniper riffle when I was thrown backwards to make me knock out at that moment.
So he used his weapon as a finisher, whereas for his close combat he relied more on his fists.
What an unexpected thing.
Fortunately my acting was perfect because of my shock at his attack.
***
The battle won Samuel.
The loser can only congratulate him.
"Samuel, you're so great!" My praise.
"Samuel's cool! I'm getting excited to work with you guys!" (Tash)
"Finally you win, Samuel(waste of face). Even though the new boy's opponent." (Xander)
One by one they congratulated the winner, but there was one person who actually came towards me.
"You, why give up?" (Erican)
I turned and looked at him with a stupid look.
"I think it's better that way."
I gave a brief explanation.
I don't know how to say it, but being on top isn't good for me.
Of course my words even gave Erika more questions, but I did not rub them and went towards them (in the direction of the victor).
***
All that fun laughter ended when the sun started to set.
And when we got out of that building.
'shit, it's Rizki's ex's fault!'
He who unintentionally looked walked quickly towards me.
*SIR!
A hard slap on my cheek.
"That's my message to your brother!" The woman immediately left without saying anything more.
"Who is he?!" (Tash)
"The victim of my brother's playboy."
They could help but smile pityfully at me.
Brother, can you stop this?
My life is in danger for the umpteenth time!
