Since The Fall Of Maglindo
Chapter 05: The Key to the Past

Today, I went to school earlier than yesterday. The goal is that no more pranksters suddenly put a letter under my desk. Coincidentally the first letter, I have stored in a special place who knows someday it will be useful, precisely that I did when it was morning.

Last night I slept very well, in other words no longer experiencing the so-called Sleep Paralysis. When I wake up of course I am immediately grateful, like “YEAAAAAAAH!” or something.

Just like yesterday, I did not eat breakfast from home, since long ago it has actually become my habit when no one cooked it. It's just that something's different, because now that I've brought my ID card and a 100-something note, both of them are in my bag.

Yeah, considering it looks like the lesson will start right away, so I brought some books along according to the schedule.

When it passed April's mansion, it was closed the gate as usual, as if it was closing itself off from the outside world. And from the beginning I had expected, if April would be one more school with me, since then so too so there is no sense of wonder. Rather than being surprised, I actually felt guilty when I remembered about her, so I basically did not expect for her to enter the same school.

On the way until I finally finished parking the bike, he didn't look like he did yesterday. Because I was deliberately leaving early in the morning, so it's not strange if we don't meet.

Arriving in front of the class, I felt that there was something like wanting me to do, simply intending at the beginning but now forgetting the important part. Not immediately giving up, I walked towards the list of disciples that placed one room with me. Before arriving, from the window there was not a single person inside.

And I finally remembered it.

If taking into account the seating position, then the person in front of me is in order to—

“If there is 30 means 5×6. One row of seats to the back there are 6, while in the class there are 5 rows. From my absence number of 30, and Grizelle who was next to me numbered 29, means that the person's seat was numbered ...”.

Of course, mathematics is the hardest lesson. Unlike someone who says that math is just a matter of memorizing formulas, I don't even memorize a single formula. The thing is, there are only strange people who think that learning math is very fun. In contrast to those strange ones, I least like something that seems exaggerated, in short mathematics is troublesome.

I can guarantee that my ideals are not something related to mathematics, but inevitably in today's times it must be learned. After all, his presence had made much more progress than the word meant alone. The geniuses out there are using it to realize something impossible, or even better not to make it happen. In addition, if comparing mathematics with other lessons, there are some fundamental differences that can be seen very clearly, I realize it self-taught. Some say that mathematics is an exact science, yes, just think so, because surely in this case it is sure to make my head become dizzy.

With these facts, obviously counting requires a special way that can be used to achieve results, I call it a formula, and it seems like it is. For me, counting using my fingers is one of the answers to my problems.

As of now, I already know the result, maybe I'm already on par with the scientists out there.

My fingers are moving down towards the 25th. When I read the name of the person listed there, what I found was enough to surprise me. How not, there it says “Android 1.0 AI”.

Of course I remember him, apart from being Ryuga's acquaintance, he was also someone who stood at the peak of the entire first year students at this time. And based on that fact, for a while I would assume that he was the one who put the letter under my desk. Because as Ryuga said, AI is also one of the members of the Volunteer Club. So everything was clear, the reason why the letter invited me to join the Volunteer Club, the culprit was one of the members of the club itself. But what makes me feel strange, Ryuga said he had asked AI, and the answer was no.

Then did Ryuga lie to me, or did the AI lie to Ryuga instead?

Everything cannot be determined before I confirm it directly from the person concerned. For now I have a temporary guess that AI is the culprit. But yesterday he didn't go to class, but in his club room there, hopefully now he is present, otherwise I will keep asking after the break, who knows to be there again.

After everything seemed to find a bright spot, I walked in and then towards my seat in the back. Even though I was sure, I still took the time to check under the table, and I said it was safe.

Unlike yesterday, there are no more logo numbers on each table. And amazingly, the chair that was yesterday was in a mess, has been re-tidy up by no one. Thinking that, made me say, “How great is this school.”

Obviously if you look at all the facilities provided, really meet all the needs of all school residents. Not only that, it is said that there are many famous figures who were born from here. Because it was also during the registration process, I was no longer surprised when the numbers were vanishing.

After a long wait, someone finally opened the door. She was Grizelle, her face looking annoyed as we looked at her. But instead of sitting on his desk, he stood beside me trying to get something out of his bag.

Before he actually did, I thought I already knew this kind of scene.

“This is your money, I don't need it.”

He stuck out a piece of money worth 10,000 right in front of me. Instead of focusing there, I looked at his wrist which had a scar from a sharp object that sliced deeply enough.

Realizing what I was doing, he tried to cover up his scar by pulling on his long sleeve. But of course if the goal is for me not to see, then it's a big failure.

I don't think about it, however, a wound on a woman's body isn't something to be proud of. As I recall, yesterday there was nothing like that in his hands, or I just didn't notice it, because his clothes were completely covered. It's just that I kind of thought that this had something to do with something dangerous that was beyond normal human comprehension. From there I could guess how hard Grizelle's life was, at least if there was something I could help her with, then I would do it for her.
