The Metal Military Academy
Chapter 42: Testing?

“Yes, Senior Miranda?”

After exiting Arena Room 4, Rafa got a call from the group's guidance partner and his senior from Level 3.

The senior was angry when he found out Rafa had beaten the juniors of their group until they had to be rushed to the Health Unit. However, Rafa still remained calm despite being the main culprit of the chaos.

“Ah, sorry about that. I can't control my emotions if I've seen their poor skills.”

“Iya.... I've paid the fine as well as paid the damages. If it is still considered not enough, I do not care if for example my brother is called here.”

“I know. I-i know.... After this, I have no other activities, right?”

“OK. See you later afternoon.”

The call between Rafa and Miranda was interrupted. Rafa had expected that his senior would be angry with him, but he did not want to take a headache.

Rafa pondered for a moment, questioning why his emotional level became more and more unstable like this.

Rafa is indeed a typical person who often gives sarcasm and satire to something ridiculous in his eyes. But, unexpectedly, his annoyance could result in injuring many people.

If it continues like this, it may have even more serious repercussions on Rafa's mentality.

Do not let the disease passed down by his family come back.

“Tadi who, Raf?”

Rafa's daydreams are uprooted when he realizes Ardan's presence is running after him at the side.

“Senior Miranda.” Rafa put the phone back in his coat pocket. “She nagged about our group's children who were injured because of me.”

Ardan raised his eyebrows. “You okay, Raf?”

Understanding the meaning of Ardan's question, Rafa revealed a slick smile. “You understand me the most, Dan. The more days, my emotions are more unstable just because of trivial things like that. I'm afraid that someday I won't be able to stabilize my mental state like when I was a kid.”

Ardan nodded in understanding. Hearing Rafa's expression and seeing what happened before, Ardan was a little worried that Rafa's fear would someday happen.

Hopefully Rafa's mental state is fine.

Not wanting to talk about her sensitive matters, Rafa switched the topic, “Oh, yes! You're not with your group, Dan?”

“Lah...” Ardan patted his forehead, remembering that Damar and Group 17 had already gone first to their Arena Room. “I just remembered that I must also ngetes my juniors. Lali me.”

“Ya, already. We go after your junior-junior.”

“Kita?”

Familiarly Rafa holds Ardan's shoulder. “Tadi, Senior Miranda said, Our group has no more work after I hit. Instead of joining the obvious kind of singles bego, mending I join ngeliatin you ngetes the juniors. Yuk, ah!”

Accompanied by a face that has returned to be radiant as ever, Rafa takes Ardan in search of Room 6 where Damar and the children of Group 17 are located to perform an ability test.

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

Arriving inside Arena Room 6, Ardan and Rafa find Damar and the Group 17 juniors waiting in the middle of the field.

In addition to them, there are some Taruna-Taruni also sitting casually on each of the stands, want to participate to see the process of testing the abilities of the juniors. There were also some supervisory staff and robots on guard.

“Ardan, where have you been?” damar asked as he saw Ardan and Rafa approaching. He also asked Rafa, “You are also ‘why are you here? No tasks are you?”

Instead of answering, Rafa instead turned his gaze the other way while whistling as if unconcerned.

Ardan also replied, “Tadi had stopped by the Arena Room Rafa group bentar. Eeeh..., know one group directly mokad because it was beaten by Rafa.”

“Yes no, lah. Still their lives. They were on the run to the Health Unit, there was even a broken bone.”

Damar watched Rafa with a horrified look. “Kok can do that, Raf? Could be sanctioned by you.”

“Udah. I've paid all the fines as well as the cost of compensation. The rest, I don't care,” said Rafa relaxed.

Damar shook his head. “You're the same as Ardan. There are crazy things about you, Raf.”

“Ya, his name is also a rich olang child,” ledek Ardan.

“You too are from a rich family, Dan.”

“More precisely, I just live with Rafa's family. Kere's original too. As my father is still alive, almost every day I am given to eat tadpoles swamp.”

Damar lowered his head while poking his own forehead, dizzy with Rafa and Ardan's nature. I don't know what sin Damar until given these two minimal creatures as his friend.

If not for struggling to pursue Nadia's love, Damar's already in the circle of friendship full of misguided.

“Senior, this is when we sell the test?” asked Dodo who was sitting on the field with several other juniors because it had been waiting for Ardan's presence.

“Wah.... I can't wait to get beaten up by you.” Ardan stretched his muscles for a moment while asking Damar. “Which ngetes me or you?”

“Yes you, lah. If not you, where would we wait for you so long to become a fossil like this?” nagel Damar was getting irritated.

“Where are there fossils? I see your bodies are all still in one piece,” sneer Ardan.

“I mean, we're looking forward to it. Behold it! I will participate with some special staff on the front bench.” Then, Damar asked Rafa again, “You too begimane?”

“Ya watch it too, lah. If you want me to change’in Ardan ngetesnya, gas!”

Damar shook his hands. “Neg. Notwithstanding. If you are ngetesnya again, there could be someone who moved to nature anyway.”

Before Damar left, the bespectacled young man explained, “In this test, no one escapes nor escapes. Here, you just need to survive all the tests that Ardan did. The test was to fight against Ardan. Think of Ardan as the Boss in a game.”

“For those of you who can last a long time from the Ardan test, you will be given additional grades that can be added in your semester grades. If you can't survive, you won't get that value. But, there is no need to force yourself. This is just a test of ability.”

Then Damar told Ardan, “You too if there are juniors who give up or ‘dah can no longer fight, do not be beaten again until dying.”

“Y.... I understand,” said Ardan relaxed. “If I was known as a barbarian, but I would not admit to excessive things. Moreover, this testing includes Orientation Activities. No need to be taken seriously, lah.”

“Duh.... I feel insinuated, nih,” said Rafa even though in his heart he did not care at all.

“Ah! You're ‘mah, Raf.”

Damar was saying goodbye, “Ya, already. We stay, okay? The staff are also on ngawasin in sono.”

Then, Damar and Rafa immediately left the indoor arena court, and took a seat on the front bench with some staff who began to supervise the testing.

Now only live Ardan with his juniors from Group 17 who are in the middle of the field.

Ardan took a stand alone position before them, completely looking like a Boss preparing to wait for the attacks of adventurers in the game world.

“OK, you all.” Ardan briefly stretched his arm muscles again. “If you want to get extra value, then stay afloat from all sorts of my attacks. If not, don't hesitate to give up. This is not a real fight either.”

Then, Ardan took the position of the horses ready to fight with both hands gloved fingerless it was equally clenched.

Ardan grinned, “But, if you really mean to fight me, I will gladly accept. So, don't cry.”
