Isekai Online's
Chapter 13 - Normal Activity

The morning light of the sun pierced through the thin curtains.

The window, which was covered in thin curtains, opened, showing a young man preparing to go to school.

The uniform he was wearing was covered in a black apron. His black eye bags were so visible, signifying the young man was lacking the quality of his sleep. Behind the young man's body was neatly arranged a complete portion of food on the dining table.

The young man took off the black aprons he was wearing and walked out of the dining room. He walked towards the exit of his house and did not forget to lock the door of his house. He walked down the streets of his house which was still empty. Along the way, there were only a few small shops that opened their store entrances and were preparing to arrange their merchandise.

In the middle of his small trip, the young man approached one of his subscription stores. When he entered the store, it was seen that the store owner was serving hot bread of their products. The fragrant aroma of bread coming out of the toaster spread to the corner of the store. That scent was enough to pamper the nose of this young man.

The shopkeeper who was still preparing his merchandise glanced at the young man. As if accustomed to the young man's habit, the store owner took out a plastic bag containing bread and coffee drinks that were still hot in a small flask.

The young man immediately paid for it and prepared to leave the bakery but his footsteps were stopped by a question posed by the shopkeeper.

“Hans.. are you still fighting with Yui?”

There is nothing special about that question. This young man and the shopkeeper's son were childhood friends. But because of something made this young man and the son of the store owner a little bit at odds.

“We did not quarrel” briefly reply the young man.

“Oh, right? Then what is it?” the question referred to the uniform the young man was wearing.

“What's wrong?” the young man tilted his head.

“You know. Lately Yui is a little more silent than usual. His homework was a little messy, many mistakes were made while making bread dough, his appetite was reduced, even he no longer cared about his appearance. As a parent, I was worried about her condition.”

“Bring it to psychiatrist” the young man's answer is so dense and clear.

“Wait Hans! Are you sure you didn't do anything wrong? This is not your first time fighting.”

“Sounds troublesome for me if keep fighting with the same person.”

“You are always fighting like that, even it has become your daily routine.”

“We are not like that!”

“Can you explain why he's like that now? at least you know a thing or two. Aren't you guys always in the same class.”

“Why should this morning be filled with events like this anyway?”

“At least help me find the cause why Yui became like that!” the shopkeeper's tone slightly went up.

“You really want to know?" ask the young man.

The shop owner nodded.

The young man's long breath sounded. He was silent for a moment while holding his two tired eyes.

“If you're so curious why your daughter is like that, when your daughter sleeps, find her phone then use your daughter's fingerprint to unlock the security code and read the contents of her social media chat messages. I hope it can help you find the answer” the young man then leave the bakery.

The reason that was thrown was the fastest answer to the problem experienced by the bakery owner. The young man had not spoken for a long time even communicating with the bakery owner's son. All of their social media accounts block each other. The quarrels faced by both are trivial problems like teenagers who are entering puberty.

The long story of their friendship is destroyed by the feeling of love that divides the path between a friend or partner. Conflict is so common especially for teenagers who are drunk by their body's excess hormones.

The young man did not think too much about feelings. All he knew was that he was already trying to prevent bad things from happening to his childhood friend. But because his own childhood friend chose the path he believed in. He had already felt enough to warn her and would rather leave her.

When common sense is destroyed by the feeling of love. What can be done? This little thought continued to revolve around estimating the fate of his childhood friend. All the risks he received were already beyond the responsibility of the young man.

The most important thing is that their relationship is no one else. This is evidenced by the young man who chose a different school. Hitting the school distance of up to five kilometers will be a sweet story for nostalgia.

The young man is now sitting at a bus stop, waiting for the morning bus with the fastest route to his school. The distance from the school makes it necessary to go early in the morning to be on time. Although this bus route has its own lane separated by the main road but enjoying the quiet streets of the morning is enough to be a pleasure in itself, especially the cool morning fresh air can still be felt.

The young man tried to close his eyes. She hoped to be able to enjoy this short break after an entire night of taking care of her messy home. You could say it was also his own fault, knowing his sister who underwent hospital treatment he missed various kinds of home duties. So that after his little sister came home, he waited for his beloved brother to come home while holding a knife in his hand. It was already frightening enough to threaten her own brother into cleaning up the messy housework.

Recalling the incident again made his body shiver. The feeling of fear he had just received was none other than in response his body feeling danger. In order to correct his mistake, he cleaned his house all night. Tidying up the messy furniture, sweeping between the furniture of the house, hunting dust in the narrow room, scrubbing the floor and walls of the bathroom, washing clothes that are mountainous, washing clothes, and all the homework she missed was done in one night.

Of course, the sacrifices he made were very pronounced at this moment.

Feelings of holding back drowsiness and also fatigue due to lack of sleep.

“A-what does this feel like when working later?”

The young man imagined the worst possibility of living in society. At that instant, his body trembled violently.

“Oh, no! What's this! So terrible!”

In addition to enduring the drowsiness, the young man also had to endure the nightmare that was slowly devouring him.

The bus he was waiting for had come, it seemed that he became the first person this morning. There was only a driver and also a bus conductor waiting for him. His body felt heavy to step. The young man was really exhausted.

Upon entering the bus, he opened the hot coffee flask he had just bought at the bakery to keep him awake. Fortunately, the store's stock of coffee drinks was still available.

He enjoyed his hot coffee with gentleness. Slowly his heart rate became a little fast and the drowsiness in his nature slowly disappeared. Maybe this will become a bad habit in the future but he accepts the risk.

Doing all the homework in one night is a very dangerous action. He kept all of that in his mind so as not to repeat itself.

Now, the young man tried to fall asleep after drinking coffee. She hopes to slightly replenish her energy to face a busy day at her school.

There is no special event, after which the reception ceremony has been performed. There are only normal lessons waiting. The young man hoped that with this little energy it would be enough to last one day.

“Quite this time I was exhausted like this” while saying that. He tried to rest his body by closing his eyes.

The sound of the wind and the sound of the morning commute made the young man a little sleepy. No matter how shaky the bus she was riding on was, her fatigue was more dominant and made the shocks into a beautiful melody to fall asleep. Since this bus route was a bit fast, the young man was confident enough not to fall asleep especially after the bus conductor found out his destination through the uniform he was wearing.

A hand touched his shoulder, he woke up instantly and was surprised to see the bus he was riding on was crowded. Luckily the bus conductor was attentive and woke the young man up. The final destination of his journey was already in sight. Right after he got off the bus, the gate of his destination school was in plain sight.

“Which is true, I only closed my eyes for a few minutes but have arrived at school?"

The young man was not satisfied enough with his short break, a small idea appeared in his mind.

“But.. I think that's a bad idea.”

The young man immediately paused his intention to carry out that little idea in his head. This school is still quite foreign to him.

From a distance he saw people carrying cameras in front of the entrance gate of his school.

A small question came to his mind. He then saw there were several cars with the logo of the television station attached to the body of the car.

“This is just my feeling or.. This school is being covered? What news is there here?”

The young man could feel that something abnormal would happen in this place.

Regardless of the crowd, he walked into the entrance of the school which was heavily guarded by the security forces. Although his eyes were tired of being sleepy, he walked over forcing his feet to arrive at his classroom. Coincidentally, what grade he got on the 4th floor. Not even he climbed the stairs, the fatigue that triggered his brain after imagining climbing the stairs had been felt.

When compared to using escalators, 4 floors is not a problem. It's just that the place is so crowded.

"Why is this school so crowded? isn't it still early?"

As an introvert, of course, he would feel risi in such a crowd. Fortunately, beside him was a staircase connected to all floors.

Maybe only this young man used the emergency stairs as the main staircase.

The young man opened his cell phone to fill the time while climbing the emergency stairs.

An interesting discussion is taking place on a gaming forum. I don't know why the game forum was included in one of the news recommendations.

“Why are there recommendations like this in my news timeline?”

The young man tried to recall his traces of exploration on the internet. He recalled having entered the main site of Isekai Online.

“Eh, let alone this?”

Below is an article containing a photo of a famous idol group wearing his school uniform.

The young man now realized the answer of the many cameras gathered at the gates of his school. But because he had no interest in the idol world at all, he blocked recommendations about idols on his news line.

His eyes are now focused on a topic of conversation that appeared on the Isekai Online forum.

“Quest scam Isekai Online?”

“What Quest is so difficult that it is called a scam?”

His curiosity made his fingers open the topic of conversation in the forum.

[ASK] Do you guys have the same problem with the Quest looking for the missing boy? I had already circled the location of the Quest shown but only found the body of the boy. The pay is expensive but being a corpse is paid cheaply! I'm so upset about this! Is this a Scam Quest made by GM?

Comment:

[GG_GM (Novice Mage)]: You mean Quest around the outskirts of the Royal Capital of Nestrad? I heard it was a time-limited Special Quest. If you fail to find it, the boy becomes a corpse. You should be able to find him before he becomes a corpse, but for the matter of cutting the reward, I can only press F to respect, LOL.

[AllBaseLuck (Novice Summoner)]: I once got that Quest! It's crazy!! I couldn't say anything about the mission. The pay is tempting, but if you fail even get a penalty! It's no mistake that it's a GM Scam!

[JayLogggone (Swordmaster)]: NOOOOB! Such an easy quest just can't?

[PredatorPenagaLoli (Enchanter)]: @[JayLogggone (Swordmaster)] have you ever completed that Quest?

[JayLoggggone (Swordmaster)]: @[PredatorKeeLoli (Enchanter)] yes! I am a busy man.

[GG_GM (Novice Mage)]: @[JayLogggone (Swordmaster)] BACOT!

[AllBaseLuck (Novice Summoner)]: @[JayLogggone (Swordmaster)] BACOT!

[PredatorKeepersLoli (Enchanter)]: @[JayLogggone (Swordmaster)] BACOT!

[PakzToyo (Dark Mage)]: Relax brothers, we better report it. No need to bother serving this one.

[GG_GM (Novice Mage)]: 👍

[AllBaseLuck (Novice Summoner)]: 👍

[PredatorPenjagaLoli (Enchanter)]: 👍

[TelapakTongSengSung (Spearman)]: @[ArcherDude (Swordman)] Are you really sure it's a corpse? I once received that Quest. It just so happened that we found the boy lying on the street. But after being approached, the boy was in a critical state with 1 HP remaining. Since my party had a healer so we healed the boy and coincidentally the boy was on the night of the missing persons quest. Let's just get that Quest and the reward is a spell cuy!

[RestrainingBerak_76 (Priest)]: @[TelapakTongSengSung (Spearman)] Hockey times you bang!

[TelapakTongSengSung (Spearman)]: Hehe..

[AllBaseLuck (Novice Summoner)]: Even my right flat Luck did not dwell on hearing it.

(OP)[ArcherDude (Swordman)]: I'm glad to hear it, it's not just me who's having a hard time in this Quest. @[TelapakTongSengSung (Spearman)] I was very sure when I found the body of the boy lying on the street.

[TelapakTongSengSung (Spearman)]: @[ArcherDude (Swordman)] Try to check once again the HP, who knows there are still remnants of HP that can be cured.

(OP)[ArcherDude (Swordman)]: Nihil Bro. Back then there was only the option of reporting it to the gate guard warrior NPC.

[TelapakTongSengSung (Spearman)]: If that means still not your sustenance bro. it is indeed the hardest Quest in my opinion. Looking for NPCs in this cake game really feels like people in the original world. We are only in the love of a great search area. Not good if asked to find a kingdom. Mending gave up.. Abandon Quest my xixixi ninja path.

(OP)[ArcherDude (Swordman)]: Xixixixi. Buay de way..dapet what reward of the Quest is it?

[TelapakTongSengSung (Spearman)]: Small sir, just how many Silver Coins it fits.

(OP)[ArcherDude (Swordman)]: WTF! Very big that!

[GG_GM (Novice Mage)]: Quest is not clear this cake is just lucky.

[JayLoggggone (Swordmaster)]: It's just a hassle.

[GG_GM (Novice Mage)]: DIEM!

[AllBaseLuck (Novice Summoner)]: This boy is still there anyway! Tomorrow's school!

Reading the unique discussion and freedom of language on the internet made the young man smile. Seeing the toxic community of Isekai Online players it turns out to have its own uniqueness.

“How to say this, it turns out the Isekai Online community is so family-friendly for fellow Player.”

Of course it was just an allusion to the comments he had read. Even in playing games, manners are still needed to appreciate fellow players.

The arrogant nature has its own impact and usually it will get social sanctions directly. The young man must remember this.

Without feeling his footsteps had brought him to the fourth floor. She opened the school app on her phone to make sure she was back in her classroom. There are school apps that have been shared before the learning activity begins. It includes attendance systems, announcements, chat, social media between students and teachers, and other academic support systems.

“Class 1-A? on the 4th floor like this? It was quite far away from the entrance. Looks like it's suitable for light exercise.”

The young man entered room 1-A located not far from the emergency stairs and escalators.

As soon as he opened the entrance, he was very surprised by the room inside. This classroom is not like a normal classroom. Normally, classrooms have only a few simple appliances such as tables, chairs, whiteboards, air conditioners, class stationery, and projectors. That is if the classroom is normal in a completely normal sense.

But the classroom that this young man saw had a casual desk filled with small sofas, laptops available at each table, there was an indoor bathroom, and there was an indoor bathroom, there is even a small kitchen at the back of the class. The classroom was very luxurious with ornaments that were hard to say.

“Sepentara.. I'm not wrong room right? Can I get the wrong floor?” the young man again checked the classroom in front of him and compared it to the name of the class on it. He saw a sign above the door that said 1-A.

It was indeed the correct room, but the contents said another.

This time his drowsiness had been filled by a big question and it made his brain work this morning.

Why is there such a room as a study room?

For a while, the young man was reluctant to enter this classroom before him. While waiting for certainty whether this room is really class 1-A.

A few minutes passed, the young man stood in the deepest corridor and waited for a quick walk just to confirm the strange situation he was in.

His curiosity paid off when from a distance there were students walking towards grade 1-A.

His reaction was exactly the same as that of the young man. Surprised, indecisive, even doubtful if it was a classroom.

“It seems like it's not just me who's surprised by this.”

The young man approached the disciple and entered the classroom 1-A.

If he did not act, then no one would dare to enter this 1-A classroom. Realizing that it was not just him who was surprised signified that this was the right room.

On that belief, the young man sat down on one of the provided couches and waited to start the first lesson.

Even though his body was struggling with the dangerous taste emitted by this classroom. But he had to endure to get an answer to this strangeness.
