The Last Umbra's
09. Injuries and Trauma

It did not feel like a month had passed since their infiltration action was no longer continued. And during that time they have been training to be more appropriate in dealing with unexpected situations such as the one that happened the other day.

Now the children of the Abnormal class are in front of a statue monument located in the middle of the Academy park. I don't know what Professor Haffi was thinking by telling the fifteen teenagers to wait in front of a stone statue in the middle of the night.

“Why do I also have to join this meeting?” Audrey grumbling.

He has been there for an hour now with the other kids. But Professor Haffi as well as the coach at the Dojo and also the person who had made him wait for that long did not appear.

“That's it, I want to go back,” break up Audrey. He's really tired. Moreover, the night air that is getting colder makes it uncomfortable.

“Sabar, soon again Prof Haffi must come,” said Abel while preventing Audrey.

“Whispering! I'm tired of going back, yes, I have to be stuck with you guys in this place? Move aside,” intentionally Audrey nudges Binar's shoulder making him stagger and almost fall

“Nevent need to play baseball can not anyway?” cesar Rama who quickly held the body of Binar so as not to fall to the ground.

Audrey rolled her eyes lazily.

“Ck, wrong itself ngalangin road, emang no other place what,” Audrey quipped with a derogatory expression.

“Do not make a fuss,” Haruna's word. His eyes look so alert. Although the situation looks ordinary, but somehow Haruna's instincts say another.

“Emang what right do you tell me diem?” cerocos Audrey's.

Haruna mendelik, “bacot, just go aja a lot of behavior,” Haruna quipped.

“Lo—”

Audrey had not yet made her way towards Haruna, a bullet shot through the air and moved towards her. Before the bullet hit Audrey's arm, Albian's lightning bolt pulled Audrey towards her, causing the bullet to hit the pillar post.

“Job! What the fuck?” maki Rama's. Because this happens suddenly and it seems like it was on purpose.

“Be careful, that person is still around here,”

Haruna then got up from her seat and walked closer to Audrey. Audrey looked so shocked at what had just happened. His body was covered with cold sweat.

“Lo all right?” haruna asked while checking on Audrey. With a trembling body Audrey nodded.

“G-gue wants to go back,”cicit Audrey while hiding her face in Albian's chest.

“Lo just calm down, we will go home safely,” said Haruna calming.

“Bian, you take Audrey to hide, let me take care of the rest,”

Albian nods, “lo must be careful,” Albian said.

“Of course,” Haruna smiled in response. After Albian and Audrey are in a safe place, Haruna steps into the place where the bullet was fired.

Haruna then took the bullet stuck in the pillar and observed it closely.

“Caliber 7.62 x 67 mm, Arctic Warfare Magnum? Who nyerang we really intention yes,” Haruna laughs amusedly.

He wrapped the bullet in a handkerchief and placed it in his hoodie pocket.

“Crazy! Who the hell is doing all this? What is it them?” Abel allegations.

Haruna shakes. “Not, it's not them. You guys aren't aware? Even if hit, this bullet will only scratch Audrey's arm. And again this bullet is not to kill people,” explained Haruna.

“Kalo not them who else?” ask Anggi.

“Professor Haffi,” replied Haruna without hesitation.

“Professor? Don't joke Har, there's no way that Professor is doing all this and again, what's the purpose of cobak?” galen's argument that looks unacceptable.

“Gue agrees with Haruna, only Professor Haffi can admit this,” said Ian.

“Not making sense, why is Professor Cobak doing all this?” stella.

“Oh, I never told you?” ask Haruna.

“Say what?” Abel asked back with a full glance.

“You know Umbra?” tanya Haruna started a conversation.

“Umbra?” jojo doesn't understand.

Haruna nodded. “Yes, Umbra. A group of students who work behind the shadow, you know why only in our school doang students are bit?”

“The real twenty,” turned their heads and found Professor Haffi walking towards them with a rifle case in his hand.

“Professor!” yell them at the same time, except Haruna who remained standing still while having a short chest.

“Goodnight children,” Professor Haffi said as he stepped closer to the statue monument.

“Why are you here now, Prof? Professor knows how much blood we have - we are sucked in mosquitoes? And again, why try our Professor Kumpulin in the middle of the night school again,” complained Abel.

Professor Haffi laughed. ”I've been here since the beginning, you guys are not aware,” said Professor Haffi.

Jojo frowning. “Since the beginning?” repeat Jojo.

Professor Haffi nodded. “Yeah, since the beginning, long before you guys came I've been here, preparing and observing,”

Anggi dodged not understanding. “Wait, if the Professor has come from earlier, why did the Professor not come to meet us? Not all this will happen if Professor blahin to us,” Anggi groaned and looked at Professor Haffi with his beautiful eyes.

“Sorry, I didn't mean to do any of this, it's all pseud—”

“Neventful? If you did not mean to tell us to come here from the beginning, we will not be in an ambiguous state kek gini,” circus Tomoya.

“Because it say—”

“Udah, we shouldn't be here, this isn't our place, we should go home,”

Again Professor Haffi's words were quickly cut off by Tomoya who was carried away by emotion. I don't know why Haruna seems to feel awkward about Tomoya's attitude.

Tomoya is like someone else. Although Tomoya rarely speaks and seems cold, the guy really rarely shows his emotions, at least that's what Haruna knows after a month of observing his classmates.

“This is just my guess anyway, Moya what do you do not-don't it be the same trauma yes the incident earlier?” guess Haruna.

Tomoya's body stiffened. This made Haruna sure of her speculation. Haruna could see under the light of the lamp Tomoya's body involuntarily shaking, even his facial expression was very easy to read.

“It ...” Tomoya's lips tightly clenched. He really did not want to say the thing he had buried deeply and was the trigger of all his nightmares.

“Moya you really traumatized?” abel asked with a worried expression.

Tomoya lowered his head. He did not want to reopen the old wounds. No longer, it was enough once that happened. He was trying to hide the incident.

“G-gue it—”

“Okay guys, since Professor is already here, I want something, ” Haruna quickly interjected Tomoya's words.

“Why is Professor Kumpulin us in this place? Please explain everything to the roots, I don't want to know,”

It succeeded in making the attention of his classmates focused on Haruna and Professor Haffi. Tomoya involuntarily breathed a sigh of relief as he would not open the old wound.

“Yeah, I gathered you all here because of what Haruna explained earlier. Umbra, you will be put in Umbra,”

“What!” scream them together.

“W-wait isn't this too sudden? And again, we don't know a single one about Umbra, Professor joked, huh?” meta said with an expression of not understanding.

Professor Haffi shook his head, “how can I joke, I am serious, therefore I give a test why you guys to see how worthy and promising what you are,” explained Professor Haffi at length.

“Tes? I mean, Professor that bullet was just part of the test?”

Anggi's eyes were perfectly rounded once Professor Haffi nodded at the question asked by Jojo.

“I will give you another test, so please persevere and good luck passing this test as well as selection. Follow me,”

Professor Haffi then reached out his hand towards the statue monument and touched the wide alcove in the middle. Professor Haffi's hand fumbled for a moment before his hand touched a small mound.

He then pressed down on the mound and caused the ground under their feet to tremble. After the vibration was stopped, under the statue monument there are many stairs and leads underground.

“Follow me, Albian and Audrey are also coming,”

Albian stared at Audrey at a glance as if asking.

“G-gue tagged along,” even though impressed cowardly, Audrey still tried to hold it.

With Albian's help, Audrey also walked into the basement with all the students who were from the Abnormal class.

Upon reaching the end of the stairs, the road they had just passed closed automatically.

There was only darkness and silence around them.
