Roped Fate
Ch.43: Debt

The first lesson began, today the teacher gave the practice to the students of the 8D class. At first Riko intended to mean it this time, but after her phone returned to vibrate she began to check incoming messages and read them.

Riko thought for a moment before continuing his practice on the matter, he wrote very quickly and hurriedly. Before long, he stood up while holding his exercise book and went forward to deposit the answers from the practice question, all the students in the class were astonished, including Fuurin and Juan, how could Riko solve the matter so quickly?

They both don't believe in it. Although he is a delinquent student, but it seems unlikely that he will cheat or cheat.

Shortly after, the teacher began to open Riko's exercise book. He was stunned for a moment when he saw the answer from Riko's practice book, the teacher had looked at Riko who was still standing there and he immediately turned his face.

“Riko ...,” call the teacher cold.

“Hehe ...”

“Please leave if you do not want to follow my lesson,” squealed the teacher who looked furious.

“Ready! excuse me first yes geezer, hehe,” said Riko prank.

“You ...”

Riko immediately darted away from the classroom, Juan and Fuurin just sighed, they should have understood that from the beginning it was his goal, only they were a little curious, they were just a little curious, actually what makes Riko to have to leave the task exercise today.

Riko ran to a place while checking her phone again, apparently wanting to meet someone. In the back garden someone was sitting while waiting for him.

“Senior Rein!” yell Riko.

“Oh, Riko yes,” reply Rein quiet.

“Have you been waiting a long time?” ask Riko again.

“Not really, not too long,” he replied with a friendly smile.

“Ee .. by the way what does senior call me?” ask Riko curiously.

“Oh, that ... I want to discuss yesterday,” Rein said while glancing at Riko.

“Ah .. which is it well? yeah, so! lately there are many strange things that happen,” reply Riko awkwardly.

“Therefore, I want to train your skills, so that you can protect yourself and things like yesterday will not happen again,” Rein said with a serious look.

“I have started to take the first steps to train with the chairman, we should practice together at the club.”

“Of course I don't expect about it, you can train with others, but in other places and times you can practice with me, at least it will make your ability improve faster, at least,” clear Rein quiet.

“Alright, I understand! I will definitely try to become stronger so as never to trouble the chairman and the others,” said Riko.

“You are right, one day you must also save him,” Rein said as he glanced at Riko.

“Ah .. I hope so.”

“But sometimes I think you hate him too, maybe can you convince yourself that you will choose to save him, if it's between you, Fuurin, and the chairman, can you choose?” ask Rein curiously.

“Now, I can't be sure, but as long as I can still move, then I will bring them together without having to choose, if someone has to die, maybe together is a fair answer, he said,” replied Riko with confidence.

“Alright, I accept your choice, I hope that one day you will not deny it,” said Rein with weak intonation but also like there is a hidden purpose.

“I always try my best,” reply Riko seriously.

“Anyone always wants to do their best, but the reality of destiny is not always in favor of what we expect, I have been friends with him for a long time, of course I know what he is trying to do, I know what he is trying to do, and it worries me a little,” Rein replies calmly.

“You don't have to worry that he is like that, but I'm sure he used to deal with it,” said Riko tried to encourage him.

“Maybe I won't have a long time, and I can't always protect her, that's why you ..practice and be strong, one day you have to protect her too, too, just think of it as retribution for all the things he has sacrificed for you,” added Rein who looked hollow and flat.

“I understand, I will definitely pay for all that,” replied Riko firmly.

“Until that time comes, you must always be his angel and remain my dog,” Rein said with a bitter smile at the look of the face in agony.

Riko was stunned for a moment, the direction of the wind changed again, the feeling was loneliness. Maybe he did not know what had happened between the two of them before, but he quite understood those feelings, anger, hatred, and loneliness, he said, not always he can withstand it because all that will come is sadness.

‘Maybe I don't have anything useful right now, and I never intended to be useful to anyone else, but debt is debt, even with life though it must still pay for it, Riko's inner’.

Riko raised her face and agreed to Rein's request.

“Alright, I will train with you secretly, of course you are my master, I will definitely follow your instructions,” replied Riko firmly.

“Good! I hope you'll be really useful,” said Rein flat.

“You ...”

“I go first, see you later.”

‘Either why it hurts, is it as bad as I am?’ riko's mind was somewhat inadmissive.

Rein left the place immediately. While Riko, actually she felt a little annoyed. Facing people who are more bleak than himself was not an easy thing, of course, he himself also felt humbled.

However, that feeling should be able to trigger his spirit, since anger can also be energy.

Riko did get a little emotional, but again he reiterated that this is a sincere feeling to return someone's favor.

He started to leave that place and go somewhere else. He was actually a bit confused about where to go, there was no way he could go back to class because he had been expelled by the previous teacher. Maybe the library can be an alternative option to just eliminate boredom.

****

Riko went to the library with a relaxed pace, he did not really intend to study alone there, but at least to fill the empty hours, he could find some books that might be useful for him. After arriving at the front door of the library, Riko's steps came to a standstill, it seemed that there was someone sitting there.

‘Lho! lisa again? oh ... males deh I, mending aja deh deh .. before caught the attached mak,’ bhatin Riko was-was.

Slowly Riko took a step back, after quite a distance, then he ran away from the place.

‘Hua ... where else to go? I'm a kind of gini bum! hmm... seems like the only safe destination is the canteen, I happen to be hungry,’ Bhatin Riko who is getting tired.

Still with a breath of breath, Riko again continued the next journey, the canteen.

Arriving there, he saw an atmosphere that was so soothing that it was quiet. Riko was excited again, he had helped the canteen mother for a moment before finally ordering food.

However, when he started serving his food, the break bell rang. Riko panicked again, this was not a good situation, when the others saw him there they must have thought that he was ditching just to eat in the cafeteria.

He intended to finish the food immediately and then leave from there. However, in reality, the students had already arrived there before he could finish his meal.

He should also have known that hunger is the greatest energy for the reason of rebellion, of course the disciples were hungry and could not be patient anymore.

Riko just tried to be relaxed and arrogantly whistled while raising one of her legs on the chair. It seems to challenge people that he will not be afraid of anyone.

Shortly after, the exorcist club seniors came to eat there, Riko began to stop her whistling, seeing the reaction of her seniors who seemed to be holding back a laugh, making her feel quite embarrassed.

Before long, people like Sheerli, Lisa, and Rein also came there. The level of boredom increased again, he could not maintain his arrogant face anymore, until the last figures came again namely Fuurin, Juan and teacher Tono, he immediately lowered his legs earlier.

The atmosphere became awkward and annoying, they all kept trying to hold back the laughter. Riko was confused as to how, before long his phone suddenly rang, he immediately answered the call.

“Halo, oh yes .. I'm there now, bye-bye,” Riko replied quickly and in a hurry.

Riko felt a little saved by the call, without further ado he got up from the table, then paid to the canteen mother, then left the place.

Everyone was silent for a while, then returned laughing out loud when Riko was gone. However, after all that had passed, some of them started throwing bullying and dislike gazes at each other. Because basically those who are there are hostile to each other.
