The Demolish This Story
06. Back to School
Birds chirping, sun shining.
"Halo~"
"For guys"
The new clock shows at 7:00 in the morning, but the streets are crowded.
"Cock yesterday didn't come anyway?"
"Your math isn't it yet?"
The young girls in white clothes were busy with their own chatter.
"Well, it's not like today there's a history lesson."
"Capek, monday. When to go home~"
"Masbrooo, borrow a hundred."
What about our protagonist? It had been five minutes that Aaron had only looked at the gate with the inscription Pandawara High School.
'I was so nervous, I never thought I would return to this place again.'
Even when fighting a high-level demon, Aaron never felt this big
"Yes!"
While Aaron was deep in thought, someone patted him on the shoulder. Aaron looked at the figure.
"Tumben once you haven't been in class. "
One was slightly fat, and the other was a male with his trademark round glasses.
Aaron was surprised to see them.
"You... You're Ari, right?!"
Aaron pointed to one of the fat figures.
"Huh? Yeah, of course I'm Arizona. Who else is it?"
"And, you must be Felix?! "
This time Aaron pointed to one person next to him
"...What the hell are you doing?"
Felix looked at Aaron in wonder.
Aaron could not hide his smile, water started to form in his eyes.
'You're alive!'
Without warning, Aaron hugged his two best friends.
"His this why? "
"If you ask me, who do I ask?
...o0°0o...
"Haa~ how peaceful."
Sitting in his seat, Aaron smiled happily.
"This is how he said peace? "
"You're weird sometimes, but today you're 5 times stranger." Felix shook his head.
Of course they wouldn't understand, and Aaron wouldn't bother explaining either.
Aaron looked around.
The smell of paper and ink in the air, the noise of the students everywhere, then sitting by the window facing the outside view, his favorite seat. He never expected to return to this place.
'Really nostalgic.'
Elite School which is only attended by children of famous figures. The cost is also obviously expensive, but luckily Aaron is smart enough to get a scholarship.
Honestly, there are not many memories of this place. There was no memorabilia that fascinated him.
Aaron's life isn't as lucky as the others. The time when children his age should play and enjoy youth, Aaron time wasted to support his family.
Lying if he does not want to complain, but how else, his sister's smile is more valuable than his life.
But that doesn't mean this place isn't worth anything. Many figures are very meaningful in his life, such as his two best friends, Arizona and Felix, classmates who are always supportive, and teachers who are always helpful.
'This time, I'll save you all.'
Triings Triings
The bell rang, starting Aaron's third day in the second round.
...o0°0o...
The morning started with Bu Indah, the teacher of history subjects.
"As we know, hunter's history dates back to about 150 years ago."
The hologram screen displays a large globe.
"In 1885, a huge meteor arrived and fell in the Indian Ocean undetected, causing a huge tsunami in the vicinity, especially in our country, Indonesia and the Australian continent."
A red dot appears on the globe, showing the Indian Ocean, where the meteor fell.
"A few months after the fall of the meteor, a huge hole suddenly appeared above the ocean. It was a "Gate", a gate that connected the human world with where monsters lived."
Black and white images are displayed on the screen. A hole with black smoke around it. Although it was only a two-dimensional photograph, an ominous aura could be felt from here.
"Scientists theorize that the falling meteor is not from the present, so the most sophisticated tools at that time could not detect its arrival. The meteor is said to tear through the timeline, creating a wormhole that connects the future. But what happened was far more terrible than that."
The hologram features a black and white blurry video.
"The "winged monster, 'Wyvern' came out from inside the hole, attacking the surrounding area. Indonesia is one of the countries with the greatest impact."
Within 10 seconds of the video, a human voice screaming in fear could be heard.
"But not enough until there, simultaneously the same hole began to appear all over the world. America, Africa, Britain, Japan, and other countries. About 35% of the human population at that time was wiped out by monster attacks."
The globe turns into a flat map, a red dot marking the appearance of gates marked in various places around the world.
"The military did everything it could to survive, but the monster was indestructible with ordinary firearms. They thought this was the destruction of the world, but a light appeared."
The video changes, showing humans fighting monsters.
"A mysterious energy, 'Mana' came out from inside the gate. Some of the chosen humans adapted and absorbed mana, and used it to re-attack the monsters. Humans who fight monsters are called 'Hunters'"
Photos of present-day Hunters, as well as large guilds were displayed.
"The existence of gates and dungeons is very influential on the advancement of human technology. They discovered Mana Stone, an eco-friendly energy source used in all places of the world. Hunters obtain mysterious powers such as skills, magic, artifacts, and items from within the dungeon that are still being researched today."
Mom beautifully ended her explanation. One of the students raised his hand.
"What about the earth, does the existence of a gate impact nature? "
"Yes. The existence of dungeons changed the climate of various countries in the world. For example, Indonesia, said Indonesia only experienced 2 seasons before the dungeon, but now Indonesia is a 4-season country. The cause itself is still being investigated, scientists say that the dungeon changes the gravity of the earth, but honestly mother also does not understand."
Another student raised his hand, Beautiful Mom smiled at the enthusiasm of her students.
"Then what about culture? Indonesian culture is very different from before the dungeon, how can it happen?"
"Before the dungeon, Indonesia was in the Dutch colonial period. But when the monster began to attack, the Dutch pulled all their troops back to their home country, leaving the Indonesian nation."
Photographs of the colonial era are displayed on the screen.
"America, as the country with the most hunters at that time sent aid to Indonesia. America calls on Indonesia to be part of its country in return. Indonesia asked for waivers, which the United States agreed with the agreement that Indonesia will always be on the side of America and will always help America unconditionally. One form of agreement is the US dollar currency that is officially used. The number of transmigrants from America also makes the culture lean towards western culture. But of course, the customs of each region are maintained."
The students nodded, understanding the explanation from their history teacher.
