Today is an important day for students.
Their intelligence, accuracy, skills, and most importantly, their morals are tested by this school to get grades according to KKM.
The first day is a writing test.
For them the writing test is the easiest test among the other 5 exams this week. They do not need to think much about the strategy or what strength they should use. As long as they answer correctly, they will be safe.

In the morning at 4 am, me and the other 9 teachers who had been selected as the bodyguards of Princess Tyas had gathered in the headmaster's room.
There I stood at the very front and right in front of Bahar who was sitting casually in his chair.
"Your choice is a little strange, but by looking at their faces..." Bahar spoke softly towards me while looking at the guards I chose. "... Your choice is good too." A congratulation was given to me from him.
"Hmm(nod)" I said nothing but nod and smiled at the person.
It was like a habit between the two of us.
Shortly after, Bahar stood up from his chair and walked towards the teachers who had been selected as bodyguards.
At the same time, I took a step back to return to the ranks of the guards.
PRAK PRAK PRAK
Bahar applauded the guards in front of him.
"Congratulations on the selection of all of you to be the bodyguards of Princess Tyas in this test." Bahar who was already standing in front of them took a resting position on the spot.
"It would be an honor for you to be once trusted to be the royal family's bodyguard!" Bahar gave a sharp look to the guards who were on his right side.
"But..." Bahar held back her sentence. "...You know, right? Why did our school choose so many bodyguards that almost half of the teachers here were bodyguards?" Bahar's eyeballs slowly moved from right to left to address the faces of the guards.
"Who do we know!" (The guards in unison)
The satisfaction seen on Bahar's face clearly showed that she believed in them.
"Then... Natesh, Widodo, Candra, Rasputra, Rashid, Ryan, Vicky, Linda, Tasya, and Xander you can go!" Bahar mentioned our names one by one according to our line position.
"Ready!" (All guards)
That way, we dispersed ourselves and left the narrow room.
......................
The room was now deserted and there was only one Bahar.
"Come in!" But Bahar felt it.
A presence that refuses to leave.
"Thank you... Mr. Bahar." Say thank you to the old man to Bahar who is just as old.
Stout and tall, his skin dark and wearing an all-white uniform.
Cowboy hats and sunglasses adorned the man's head.

I felt that person's presence, yeah... He is a very dangerous man.
If I try to ignore it, I don't know what will happen.
I walked back to my chair and sat there looking at the man who was reluctant to come sit with me.
"Why not sit?" I asked carefully.
"It's just for a minute... It has to do with the kidnapping issue yesterday!" He crossed his arms and looked at me with a very optimistic smile.
"I've hidden the matter!" I turned my chair and turned my body away from him.
"That's not the problem. What I want to ask is... At the time of the incident, you sent me to come before the teachers came, didn't you?" He tried to walk beside me so I could see where he was.
"But when I was there... All that remained were bound disciples and guards who had fainted from brutal shock." Although his eyes are closed sunglasses, but a sharp gaze can be seen only with his style of speech.
When this man said that, I remembered the one person who could do that.
Sweat immediately pours out on my face. Did he do it?
"When I saw the condition of the former fight... There was a lot of blood and ice, lightning, wind, and water magic marks were there!" From the tone of his voice, he was completely confused by what was happening.
"Well?!" I was surprised by this guy's statement.
Ice magic, lightning, wind, and water? Has he been much?
I didn't believe what he said at first, but if this guy says it. Then it must be true, because of this man... He can detect it.
Are the disciples saved by a mysterious organization and ask us for a fee?
"From your confused face... You don't seem to know either, do you?" He noticed my confusion and walked back to his starting position.
Was it really him who did it? But if I remember, he's just a babu from Nova and only moves under the grandmother's orders.
And after all, it was impossible for him to actually be able to use all the elements. More precisely, it's impossible.
Anitya is designed only to have 2 elements only. 3 can happen, even if the owner of Anitya must have ice and fire elements.
Then, who exactly is that guy?
"Waldo..." I mentioned the guy's name.
"What?" He was casually looking at me.
"Why?"
"It's gonna get dangerous if you dig deeper. Continuing the investigation means digging your own grave!"
"Calm down, Bahar! Things like this... It's happened a lot, hasn't it?"
"This is too late! When you-(disconnected by Widodo's vote)
"You're thinking too far, Bahar! Besides the person I suspect is a teacher here! There's no way I'll be in danger."
"The teacher here?"
What does he mean... Is that guy?
While getting rid of Rashid's name from the list of suspicious people in this school.
Only one person is the prime suspect.
Zarbeth Paniati's...
He was the only one who could cast any kind of elemental magic in this entire archipelago.
"Then I say goodbye, Bahar!" That way, Widodo left me who was still gawking in disbelief.
The burden on my mind is... Why did the old grandma go so far as to do this?
What purpose?
Silence flowed into the room.

Near the teacher's cafe, the guards bought breakfast because they could not afford it.
Unfortunately I came to this school with a state of eating.
So I'm just glaring at those who haven't had breakfast at this table.
"You're not eating?" Xander who sat in a circle with me asked me.
"I have breakfast" I said flatly.
"Mr Rashid gituloh... Going out in the morning for you is daily food. So he's used to this kind of situation!" Tasya who was used to seeing me left early in the morning patting my back.
"It's been over a month you've been teaching here, and that trait hasn't gone away? You seem like a rule-abiding person, don't you, Syid?" Praise was taken out of Xander's mouth but at the same time it sounded mocking.
I'm the right rule too because of my circumstances as Nova's subordinate. Punctuality had to get used to in order to align my missions.
If I'm late in completing my mission, then the new mission will keep coming out before I finish it.
And it'll keep piling up if I let it go on.
"Oh yes, Deck Ryan..." Tasya called out to the person who was beside the others. "I heard you're smart car... Can you fix my car?"
Tasya has nothing to get straight to the point. Ryan who heard the woman's request only kept his blushing face shy away from the woman.
He doesn't seem to be as good at communicating as I am. There must be a problem that makes it that way.
Shortly after, her blushing face was turned away and met me.
Again he turned it in the other direction.
There was a bad feeling when he saw me. His face was like a severe trauma.
Is... She's one of my victims' families?
That's just possible.
To dispel this premonition, I tried to talk to Xander.
"Sir Xander, what do you have to do with Princess Tyas?" A question I asked him.
"Heh?! Relationships?!" Xander was suddenly surprised by my question and a sad look was also seen being hidden on his face.
"Sir Rashid, don't you know?!" Tasya who begged Ryan instead turned into my conversation.
"No?" I shook my head.
"Princess Tyas is her fiance!" Tasya smiled as she pointed at the man in his 30s.
No surprised face came out of me.
It seems like something like this I've seen before.
But where?
"Aren't you surprised?" Ryan, who had taken his face away from me, suddenly asked me.
"No... Not at all." With a flatness, I said that I didn't know at all.
It's going to be something interesting, even I don't know how interesting the ending will be.
So this is why the name Xander was given a blue line at that time.
The only problem in this engagement case is how Xander responded to my question.
That sad face... Kepo.
