The Metal Military Academy
Chapter 18: New Friends Old Friends

“Aaah...! Finally, ‘dah up to us.”

Ardan immediately dropped his tall body right on the plain white bed mattress while snorting to the pillow as if so longing for the place.

Now Ardan and Rafa arrive in their dormitory unit. This dormitory unit is different from the usual dorm rooms. You could say, the facilities here are better than dormitories in general, but not luxurious as well. More precisely, it is almost similar to the cheapest apartment units in the city.

The dormitory unit of Milderan Academy consisted of only four rooms. The only room that is slightly larger is the one that is directly connected to the door of the main unit. The room itself has four beds arranged in two rows facing each other, each has its own nightstand next to the bed, two large cabinets with two doors, each of which has its own nightstand next to the bed, and there's one LED TV at the middle end of the room.

The rest is a small room in the form of a kitchen, bathroom, and toilet. Each unit is also equipped with a small balcony, a place to relax outside while looking at the scenery.

As Ardan sniffled onto his bed cushion, Rafa who had just entered noticed that there was one more person there besides the two of them.

“Eh, Damar? Have you reached?”

Ardan immediately turned his head when he realized the name of his best friend was called. Apparently, there was one more person who had arrived at their unit, sitting leaning on the bed while snacking and watching television. That is, the figure of a young man with glasses with thick black hair and only wear a shirt that is irregular in shape.

“Dih. Have you reached, Damar Seblak? How come I just realized,” said from Ardan while taking a sitting position in the middle of the bed.

“Can not, anyway, do not need to call me ‘Damar Seblak’ mulu? I don't like seblak!” damar was angry.

“But Nadia likes seblak, you know,” goda Rafa.

“Duh...”.

Damar does not dwell if it has brought the name of gebetan. He hates the fact that his bustle is maniacal. But, what do you want to say? Differences will not hinder his love for the girl who owns the long blonde mane.

“New 15 minutes ago I got here,” Damar replied to Ardan's question earlier, then back snacking.

A moment Ardan had turned to look at one bed that was still empty, neatly arranged without any sign of having been touched by people.

“Regan is not here yet, Mar?” ask Ardan again.

In this dormitory unit is occupied by four complete people, namely Ardan, Rafa, Damar, and Regan. However, to this day Regan's whereabouts have yet to emerge.

“She ‘kan is not a member of Exemplary Organization, do not take care of orientation events. So, don't come here first.” Damar checked his phone for a moment. “If not wrong, on the night of the new week he returned to dorm.”

“Tuh albino emang always miss the exciting. I saw earlier, a lot of children level two and above who do not enter the Organization of Exemplary in coming here,” said Ardan began to hug the pillow.

“Halah~. Most also want to mencengin their junior children ‘mah,” circus Rafa while sitting on the edge of his own bed and put a backpack there.

“Ih! So want to show me to the junior kids tomorrow just take care of their group,” said Ardan enthusiastically.

Rafa turned to Ardan who was sitting on the bed next to him. “Pamerin what are you? Showing off stupidity?”

Ardan sneered without a sound. It's also irritated that Rafa's been putting out more sarcasm. But, Ardan's not his name if it gets mental just because of people's sarcasm.

With his sword Ardan raised both hands. “Pamerin ketekku, lah.”

“Already expected, showing off stupidity also ends.”

Rafa also chose to directly put his clothes and belongings into the closet.

While still raising his hand, Ardan fadly stroked his own armpits, feeling a slight rough surface there.

“Sih, on growing my armpit hairs. I also forgot to shave.”

“And! I'm snacking on this again! You also discussed the savannas of your sticky fur! Slut, lah!” namel Damar began to taste no more snacking because Ardan discuss armpit hair.

“Yes, how, dong? If not discussed, later can forget me,” said Ardan without sin.

“Mending dyingetin dalem aja, Dan. Don't talk about it too.!”

Because he did not want to discuss the slovenly problem, Damar also shifted the topic. “Omong-by the way, Raf, Nadia this year also enter akmil?”

Rafa who was seen as neatly arranging his clothes into the closet turned his head accompanied by a sharp gaze pierced into the glasses young man.

“Nape? Want to fuck you up? Macem-macem with my sister, I broke your seed, and I threw it at rabies dogs. Mao?!”

Damar immediately grimaced to hear Rafa's threat. This was why he was hard to pedekate with Nadia, because his brother who had a tall, large, muscular body accompanied by a genius brain was fiercely really creepy.

But whatever the obstacles, whether seblak or brother monster, Damar still trying to get the heart of Nadia someday.

Yes, hopefully Damar's life is saved until successfully invited Nadia to the guarantee.

...~*~*~*~...

[Welcome to the Milderan Military Academy, where only those with great guts and enough mental illness can qualify to be the greatest warriors on the planet Ribelo.]

A long black haired girl curls up in a newsboy hat squinting both of her blue eyes while reading a motto board on a wall near one of the doors of a girls dorm unit. He astonished himself with the motto of the renowned academy.

“It's military academy or shelter of the mentally ill?” plain mumbling. “Maybe the training here is very hard, so it makes the students to be mentally ill. Serem too, yes..”.

“Haaah..”.

Somewhat a few meters away from where the black haired girl was standing, another girl came out from inside the elevator. The girl had long straight blond hair with half part bangs and wore a green jacket. He walked lethargic while carrying a backpack on his shoulder.

“Aish.... The dorm is big too, yes,” muttered tired Nadia.

Nadia again noticed the dormitory unit number listed on the Academy Card, then began to match it with the door rows of other units that were still closed.

“227, right? Here the line number is 220s. Means near here, dong.”

When Nadia stepped in search of the unit number, her bright blue eyes accidentally saw the figure of another girl her age who was standing while watching the motto board on the wall. Incidentally the girl was standing next to the room unit with the unit number listed on Nadia's card.

The atmosphere of the hallway of the dormitory here was still very quiet, there was no one passing by other than the two of them. Nadia became awkward herself when she realized the presence of the girl. He was confused to say hello or immediately approached his unit. Understandably, Nadia has not interacted with fellow women for a long time, so even awkward herself.

“There's a girl near there,” muttered Nadia nervously. “Try aja. Could be a friend.”

Nadia also ventured to the girl. Starting with an awkward deheman, Nadia began to say hello.

“Ekhem! Ha-hai..”

Hearing someone else's voice, the girl immediately turned to Nadia. Nadia was glued when she saw the look on the girl's face.

The girl in a navy blue jacket wearing a newsboy hat has long black hair and shiny curls, dark blue eyes with a slightly slick shape but still looks flat, smooth yellow skin, and natural blushing lips.

Sontak Nadia made a glare with the appearance of the girl. Really, only this time Nadia saw there was a girl with a beautiful face, graceful, and cute at the same time. The mysterious girl is like a living doll, expressionless, but able to make anyone fascinated with her natural beauty.

If only Nadia was a man, of course she immediately fell in love with him. But really, Nadia was just amazed by the girl's face. After all, Nadia was purely a normal girl and already had a crush as well.

Being so called did not make the girl casually greet Nadia. He looked in all directions first, ascertaining whether there were indeed other people around them or just the two of them.

“You greeted me?” the girl pointed at herself.

Nadia's amazed expression instantly turned flat. Already realized here there are only two of them, even using nanya anyway.

Nadia thought, beautiful girl, but how come her brain is so melted?

“I nyapa satan,” said Nadia origin. “Yaaa, take care of you ‘lah, Ma'am.... Realize that it's just the two of us here?”

“Ooo...” The girl seemed to think for a moment. “But, it makes sense also that this Mbak wants to nyapa satan.”

“You mean?” nadia asked in amazement.

“Kan usually if there are two people in a quiet place, the three must be demons.”

Instantly Nadia counted the dust in the corner of the hallway, clumsy to face this one girl. Just invited by acquaintances has made emotions, what else if it has been cemented.

The girl's behavior reminds Nadia of Ardan. But the difference is, Ardan's nature seems fussy, different from this girl who remains calm even though it has made people sprained.

Wanting to make a good impression on the first day of entering the academy, Nadia again approached the girl, intending to make a small talk. Even though it's bad, but there's no harm in trying to make friends with him. After all, the girl does not look as thick as former friends Nadia in school first.

“Bby acquaintance, no? Who knows we could be friends later.”

Nadia began to extend one hand, about to shake hands.

“My name is Nadia Isabella Novan. That you?”

For a moment the girl only noticed Nadia's helping hand. Nadia began to sweat coldly, afraid if the girl even reluctant to shake hands with him. If you refuse to shake hands, ‘kan Nadia so embarrassed herself.

That meant that the girl was not interested in getting acquainted with him at all.

But thankfully, the girl returned Nadia's hand, shaking hands well even though her face still looks plain flat.

“Krysanthemum. Chrysanthemum Ambarwati.”

“Krisan, yes..?” Nadia took off their shaman first. “If it's not wrong, it's the name of the flower type, right? Beautiful, you know. But, your margin is unique as well. Where would you come from if you knew?”

With innocence Chrysanthemum replied, “From kampung.”

“I-iya, from the village. But, which village is more precisely?” nadia asked again awkwardly because of the chrysanthemum's unawares answer.

“Settle village near Yorin City. The distance is about 24 hours from here if the trip by car.”

“Wah.... Away too, yes.”

Apparently, the black-haired girl named Chrysanthemum was from a remote village. It's worth it that his family sounds weird, doesn't sound like a family clan.

If not wrong, people who come from the countryside like the origin of family love to their children. They do not rely on family clans because they themselves do not have it, some even have no clan at all.

“Oh, yes! You're a first-rate kid too, huh?”

Chrysanthemum nods.

“Sama dong kayak me. It's our first day to the hostel,” said Nadia as warm as possible. “Omong-by the way, have you met your dorm unit?”

Chrysanthemum nods (part 2).

“Where?”

The chrysanthemum just pointed to their front door.

Nadia was a little stunned when she found out that Chrysanthemum was one unit with her. But, it's okay. Apparently, Chrysanthemum is a nice girl who won't try to stab him in the back like Nadia's friends used to. Especially he comes from the village. The average village person is usually still innocent when it comes to what social interaction in the city looks like.

Lucky Chrysanthemum met a nice girl like Nadia. Try if you meet others, maybe the pure nature of Chrysanthemums can be used.

“Why not enter?” ask Nadia again.

Chrysanthemum tried to scan the code on his card through a scanner attached to the door, but the color of the scanner light that was originally blue turned red with a disturbing ‘Tet’ sound.

“Can't.”

“Huh?”

In a hurry, Nadia also scanned the card code on the scanner. Same result, code rejected.

“Lah?” Nadia looked at her own Academy Card. “Kok can't be opened? Though the number and scanner code is right, you know.”

Nadia looked at Chrysanthemum. “One unit is usually inhabited by four people, right? Are we waiting for friends who might be the same unit we used to be, huh? Who knows, they can open the door. If not, we report this problem to the dormitory staff.”

Chrysanthemum nods (part 3).

Seeing the Chrysanthemum from earlier just nodding mutely made Nadia narrow her eyes in wonder.

“From that nod, Ma'am. Sariawan?”

Chrysanthemum shook.

“Too often gerakin neck kayak so what does not hurt?”

Chrysanthemum shaking (part 2).

Unable to stand the Chrysanthemum's inertness, Nadia clasped the Chrysanthemum's shoulders, then shook it.

“By the way dong, Kris...! Don't make me like talking about living mannequins anymore!”

In the end, Nadia can only bow down because often responded so. It is also difficult to talk to quiet people. Perhaps quiet people like to think that pleasantries are too tiring.

It'sit's okay. Slowly Nadia will try to familiarize herself with Chrysanthemum. The girl will open up later. After all they had only known a few minutes ago, so it was natural that Chrysanthemums were more silent.

“Wah, wow, wow.... Look, who's this one blonde girl..?”

Nadia looked up straight away. He was well acquainted with this annoying tone of voice. The tone of voice he had heard while still in school.

Nadia also looked straight ahead, her bright blue eyes instantly widened when she realized who had come to this hallway of the dormitory.

There were some beautiful girls walking in groups approaching the two of them. Everyone looked at them with a petty, contemptuous look, as if judging Nadia like a lowly piece of trash.

“Not expecting to see this hippo upil again. Last time I saw you was still Junior High, right?” said one of the short blond girls, he turned to one of his friends. “What do you think, Na?”

Among the troupe of girls, one girl figure walked along so gracefully. She was wearing a red tight dress with a skirt above her knees, her reddish brown hair looked so bumpy, and her blue eyes were staring intently at Nadia.

A gaze that held grudges and annoyance at the same time.

“Old no see, Nadia.”

Nadia's teeth were grinding, both hands clenched tightly aware of who appeared right before her. The most annoying figure, which also managed to make Nadia difficult to make friends with fellow women.

“Tatiana..
