My School Days Were Full Of Enemies!
Chapter 56. Class Chair

Maxwell had been waiting for Rika's arrival in front of Valerie's gate. He intends to take his employer's son to school, also intends to meet with Roman.

"Maxweeeelll!!" rika cheers from the front door of the house. He then ran towards the gate, approaching Maxwell who had been waiting for him.

Valentine and Roman followed from behind, walking together towards the gate, as Valerie heated her car engine.

"Good morning, Miss," said Maxwell, bowing before Rika.

"Morning, Maxwell!" Rika turns around, focusing her attention on Valentine and Roman, who are walking towards them.

"The child ...." Maxwell was stunned when he saw Roman, getting closer and closer, towards the gate of the house.

"What's Maxwell?" rika asked, when she found out Maxwell's attitude towards Roman.

"No, Miss," replied Maxwell who kept squinting his eyes, glancing at the approaching Roman.

Valentine walked a little further back to Roman. He accelerated his footsteps towards Rika who was smiling cheerfully.

"Valentine, I go first well," said Rika.

Valentine hugged his best friend's body. "Rika, thanks. Thanks to you, I'm not so lonely" he said.

"Hehe. It was my duty as your best friend, Valentine," Rika said, replying to Valentine's embrace.

Meanwhile, Roman further slowed his pace towards Maxwell. His gaze immediately stared intently at the face of Rika's bodyguard.

With both hands clenched tightly, he stopped his footsteps right in front of Maxwell. His eyes widened, his eyebrows furrowed, as if holding a grudge against someone in front of him now.

Maxwell, standing in front of Roman, walked over to him and stroked his hair. "Ahaha ... I did not expect, Gerrard's son has been this big," he said with hospitality.

Roman was dumbfounded. He let his hair be ruffled by a middle-aged man, who spontaneously mentioned his late father's name. "You know my father?" roman asked after Maxwell had kept his hand away from the boy's head.

"Haah? Sure was! Gerrard is very helpful to me. How could I not recognize or forget about it?" maxwell answered confidently.

Roman remained silent and further sharpened his gaze on Maxwell. It's like he doesn't care if he claims I know his father or not.

Seeing Roman's reaction that was like putting hate on him, Maxwell bent over. "Roman Hillberg .. deep down, I apologize for hitting you first. And, I've heard the news about Gerrard's passing. I'm so sorry for his passing" Maxwell said.

Roman was surprised after hearing the words. He then nodded and let Rika's bodyguard, continuing to bow before him. Does this person really know my father?! he thought while loosening his fist.

Valerie immediately got out with her car from the garage of the house, and rushed to them. He paid his attention to Maxwell, who was bowing before Roman.

"alright. I forgave you. But, please don't carry my father's name anymore" Roman said as he stepped aside and gave way to Valerie's car, which made Maxwell stand right in front of the car.

"Maxwell, can you take Roman and Valentine to school? I have a little important business" said Valerie, who undoes her intention to take Roman and Valentine to school.

Maxwell bent back in front of Valerie's car. "All right, Miss Valerie." He then headed to Rika's car.

Valerie then opened the left car window, then turned to look at Roman who was standing next to his car. "Roman, get in Rika's car. Learn the vigorous. I'll pick you up after school" he said, advancing the car's gear shaft.

"Sir Valerie?! Where are you going?" valentine asked as she walked closer to her brother's car.

"I have to take care of the death files of Roman's mother and sister in the hospital" Valerie replied.

Valentine was down and sad after realizing Valerie was off from teaching. "I-I'm sorry," said Valentine with eyes glancing the other way.

"Oh, don't think about it. Get in Rika's car. And, promise me not to repeat the same mistake" Valerie said from inside the steering wheel.

Valentine nodded his head twice. "Thank you, brother. I promise I won't make you any more miserable" Valentine leaned into the car's glass, and grabbed the face of the brother he loved so much.

"Valentines! Ayo!" rika exclaimed from the car, which was sitting next to Maxwell.

"Learn hard" Valerie said, kissing Valentine's forehead.

"Hm." Valentine smiled after getting a peck of encouragement from Valerie. He rushed into Rika's car.

Valerie immediately turned to Roman, who was still standing next to her car. "Roman?! Why just shut up?! Get in Rika's car!" exclaim Valerie with a look of wonder.

"No. I'll just walk." Roman steps out of the gate and leaves Rika's car, which leaves Rika and Valentine shocked.

"Romeaaaanalyn!" cheer them up in unison. Valentine then got out of the car and rushed after Roman. He then pulled her hand and took her into Rika's car.

"Haha!" Maxwell laughs when he sees Roman's behavior, who is still shy of the cat against him.

...*** Classroom 1A ***...

Roman finally arrives and sits in the classroom on time, despite being forced to hitchhike in Rika's car. He took out a textbook from his desk drawer, put it on the table and opened it, and landed his chin on the table instead of hiding behind it.

Seeing Roman's behavior, Valentine smiled. Finally ... we can return to school quietly, the mind that also pulled out a textbook from the desk drawer.

All the students were packed into the classroom, and talking to each other. Kevin, who was present among them, immediately turned his attention to Roman, then moved from his chair to the boy. "Roman, I've heard the news about kema—"

"Allaa! Get ready! There's guruuu!! cheers of one of the students who looked over from behind the classroom door.

This time, Herman was dressed formally as an academic teacher. "Good morning, everybody!" greet Herman while occupying his chair. He immediately turned to the back corner, and found Roman sitting while looking at him. "Roman! Come here" cried Herman.

Roman got out of his chair and walked over to the teacher's desk. "What's up, sir?" roman asked while standing facing Herman who was sitting behind the table.

"Stand beside me" Herman ordered, turning his head to the left, instead of gesturing to Roman.

Roman then obeyed Herman's orders, and stood right beside him. His gaze was immediately fixed on all of his classmates, who were also staring at him.

"Who else wants to apply to be class president? If anyone is interested, please move forward!" herman exclaimed with a sharp and cynical gaze, which had become his trademark.

Kevin, who is very ambitious to be the class leader, suddenly stood up from his chair, holding his hand up. " I am sir!" he said with full confidence.

"Forward!!!" cheers Herman loudly. The cheers made the entire disciple startled and started to feel frightened by the killer teacher's attitude.

However, Kevin remained confident and did not feel a bit daunted by Herman's cheers. He then moved out of his chair and ventured forward, and stood right beside Roman.

"There again?" asked Herman who immediately smiled grinning, after finding that there were students who dared to advance to become Roman's rivals.

"Noooo, paak!" answer all students simultaneously.

"Alright!" - he stood up from the chair - "No vote! The selection of the class leader will be determined by a power struggle, between these two men," said Herman while tidying up all teaching equipment located on the table.

Herman then lifted the table and slightly walked towards Roman and Kevin. He stopped while standing behind the disciples.

(Shelf!)

The way he put his desk was very arrogant. Herman slammed the table in front of two prospective class leaders, which made all students in his class cranky. "Roman! You're standing on the right desk! And Kevin, you're standing on the left of the table! ... cepaat!!!" herman's orders then cheered with all his might.

Roman and Kevin immediately walked up and stood on each side of the table, according to instructions from Herman. The two disciples, did not understand the meaning of the arrogant teacher at all.

Herman then walked around the table and stood right in front of the blackboard, placing both hands on the table. "Put each elbow of your right hand, onto the table" Herman ordered, continuing to give a series of instructions.

Roman obeyed Herman's orders by bending his body slightly, then putting the elbow of his right hand on the table. Likewise with Kevin, who also bent his body, and put the elbow of his right hand on the table, which should be reserved for teachers.

They ended up staring at each other, with faces full of confusion. "Roman, do you understand what that means?" ask Kevin.

"Don't talk!!! Quickly hold the palm of the person in front of you! Romanaan!! Hold Kevin's hand!!" cut Herman who had surprised Kevin.

Roman immediately clasped Kevin's palm tightly, with eyes looking sharply at the face of his accidental rival.

After finding Roman clasping Kevin's right palm tightly, Herman then grasped the two hands that held each other tightly. "You're going to be fighting for Panco! Do your utmost to break the hands of your enemies! The one who wins, will be the class leader! Do you understand?!!" asked Herman while giving instructions in a loud and high tone.

Kevin was stunned after hearing Herman's words. His ambition to become class president is mounting. He then grasped the Roman palm tightly, and gave a very sharp look on the face of his new Rival.

"Dam!!!" Herman started the match, with fiery cheers.

In order to fulfill his ambition, Kevin tried to push Roman's hand as hard as he could. His face immediately grinned, his brows furrowed, his lips twinkled wide, having been devoured by the burning fire of spirit within him.

Seeing Kevin too excited to drop his hand, Roman remained calm, holding his hand that began to be pushed slightly by Kevin's hand.

"Romeaann!! Whaaat!! Valentine suddenly stood up from his chair, then encouraged Roman who was in a power struggle with Kevin.

"Everything! Give your support and encouragement to the two students who will be the head of this class!!!" herman exclaimed as he looked at the two hands of the students who were grasping and pushing each other.

Seeing Kevin trying his hardest to break Roman's hand, all the students turned their support to the bank's son. "Yin!! Howaaat!!!" cheers from a close friend of Kevin.

"Kevin!! Keevins!! Keevin!!" All the students cheered Kevin, and none of them gave Roman any encouragement, except Valentine.

"Romaan!!! Fight on!!! Howaaat!!!" The cheers were so loud that they roared through the ears of the disciples, who immediately turned to Valentine.

"Loooooooooo!!!" Kevin put all the energy into his right hand muscles, trying to put Roman's right palm on the table. "R-Roman, m-surrender!" said Kevin who almost made Roman's hand touch the table.

"What's the advantage to me? If I give up?" asked Roman who was trying to re-raise his hand as before.

"You want money? Ak—"

(Shelf!)

"Let'soo!!" erang Kevin with wide eyes, while enduring the pain.

Kevin's palm suddenly landed hard on the table, after Roman put his hand down with a quick push.

The entire disciple who was watching him became dumbfounded. They did not expect Roman to beat Kevin with just one push.

"The winner is Rooomaan!!!" herman cheered with all his might, with a hint of pride lingering in his heart.

Roman is eventually elected class president, in a unique way determined by Herman. Meanwhile, Kevin, forced to be taken to the UKS room, after his hand sprained.
