MY BELOVED KNIGHT'S
LUNCH IN THE CANTEEN
Ernest was so different from usual. With the way she was dressed now, coupled with the backpack on her shoulders, she was already truly like a real student.
Tira said inwardly as she put down her bag, prepared to sit down and attend the lecture today.

"Please focus more on taking the lessons today." The voice of the lecturer who warned some students who were still busy invited Ernest to speak immediately fell silent as soon as they got a reprimand from their lecturer.
Tira who was sitting in front, while Ernest several benches behind him immediately turned his head with a little head up because their seats were like a grandstand, so that Ernest's sitting position is behind Tira and is located higher than his seat.
And not just Tira, though, but almost all the students who sat in front immediately turned to the eyes of the lecturer who was staring sharply with his protesting face towards the students who were still trying to attract the attention of Ernest.
Hearing the reprimand, Ernest immediately took advantage of the opportunity to move his seat more forward, away from the students who had been trying to invite him to talk, even though he had already given the codes that the lecture had already started and he did not want to serve them anymore than there was a problem in their lecture hours.
The seat that was still quite loose happened to be right behind Tira, next to Janetta whose eyes seemed to be widened in shock, in disbelief as Ernest decided to sit beside her.
Tira who had focused back towards the lecturer who was teaching, only smiled faintly while shaking her head to see how the students were like ants swarming with sugar when she saw Ernest, who inevitably, looked, Tira had to admit, maybe on that campus there was no man as cool as Ernest who managed to steal the attention of many people around him.
"For the task of forming a band to present an instrumental type song.You have two weeks to practice before you perform to get an assessment." Romeo's words before the end of his lecture session made the students and students look at each other and whisper to each other.
(Instrumental music is music that is made from one or more sounds of an instrument rather than vocals or human voices. That is, there are no lyrics in instrumental music. Where the music is made from the play of a group of musical instruments such as guitar, bass, piano, drums, and flute).
"Your performance results will be the main support of your final semester exam scores, so do your best. For your group members, I will set it myself. Tomorrow please look on the announcement screen for the names of your band members...."
"Well...." Rome's words were greeted with the sound of a dess.ssahan accompanied by a deep breath by almost all the participants of the lecture that day, as they hoped, they could choose their own members of their group.
Moreover, many of them were female students, who wanted to attract Ernest in their group.
Unfortunately, Romeo had already decided for himself who would assign the names of the people in each group.
"We're ending our lecture today. Good morning." Good morning." Unconcerned by the disappointed faces shown by the students he taught, Romeo said as he walked away from the stage where he taught.
"Why the hell can't we pick our own group members?"
"Oh, what if we don't have a Babe group?"
"I hope I don't have a group with people I don't know very well."
Voices expressing their disappointment were immediately heard as soon as Romeo left the classroom.
"Tira...what if we're not both in a group? I really want a group with you." Anna said as she pressed her lips forward with a disappointed face.
"Yes must be lived Anna, it has indeed become the decision of Mr. Romeo." With a calm demeanor, Tira said as she grabbed her bag, and hung it on her right shoulder.

"Hey Tira. Have you waited long?" Angel immediately greeted Tira and sat right in front of Tira who was waiting for her in the cafeteria with Anna.
"Eh, just now. I haven't even had time to order my lunch." Tira answered Angel's question with a smile.
"Then, then...."
"Excuse me. Can I sit here?" Angel's voice was instantly cut off as Ernest approached their table and asked for permission to join them at their table.
Looking at Ernest who came with a tray of food, and said he wanted to join, both Anna and Angel looked at Ernest with an unreliable face,
Both Anna and Angel, were currently staring at Ernest with bulging eyes, and also open lips due to gawking, while Tira only smiled faintly as soon as she saw the reaction of the two people.
"Please, I don't mind, and I guess they both won't mind either." Tira said as he pointed at his two friends who instantly came to a realization, and hurriedly clenched their opened lips in front of Ernest who was only smiling looking at the actions of the two girls.
"No objection." Both Anna and Angel immediately replied no objection to Ernest's request simultaneously.
"Thank you." With a polite demeanor, and an elegant-looking gesture, Ernest said as he placed the tray containing the food he had brought onto the table, removed his backpack, hung it on the back of the chair, holding it down, and slightly pull that chair before actually sitting there.
Angel was sitting right next to Ernest, because in front of Tira was sitting next to Anna, feeling so lucky to be sitting next to Ernest who frowned after staring at the table that seemed to contain only his tray.
