The Slayers
Chapter 79 (Season 3)

"H-hey Norga, were you.. chosen?"

"No, what about you, brother?"

"I was not chosen."

Alex spoke in a limp voice, his body trembling and like it was about to collapse, as if his life was hopeless. As for Norga, he was the same, but not as bad as Alex who had lost something valuable.

Norga only gets a challenge that makes him have to express love in front of everyone, Norga can still resist embarrassment. As for Alex, the challenge was embarrassing. Who wants to be someone else? Maybe only masochists want to.

"Here you are, at least you should know whether Brother Narta was chosen or not."

"...really so are you, but how?"

Norga did not reply, he did not know how to know whether Narta was elected or not.

But, an idea crossed Alex's mind. That's going to Slayers' office. Usually the chosen people will immediately register there. They'll get Slayers cards, life funds, and basic training.

But it'll all last long if you have great talent and a step job. You will definitely be given the privilege.

"Hey, let's go to Slayers' office. Who knows we can see Narta there."

"So too!"

They immediately ran to Slayers' office. It's not too far from the square. They're also good runners, so they'll be there soon.

Alex and Norga were out of breath, they were eager to sit, but there was no seat near them.

Alex who was still tired then opened his eyes wide. Narta and her 3 classmates were at Slayers' office door. The three of them conversed with cheerful faces, then the four of them pulled the doorknob and entered.

"Oh no, I'm dead."

Alex had no hope, he wanted to die. He immediately pulled Norga's shirt and dragged her away from there.

"Eh, what's wrong, brother?"

Alex didn't answer, he just pulled Norga's shirt and kept running.

They continued to run until Norga finally got upset and took off Alex's grip on his shoulder.

"You why, brother!? At least explain first why we suddenly ran away! You just pulled my shirt and dragged me around without telling me anything."

Alex is silent for a long time, making Norga upset and intends to leave Alex. Alex opened his mouth.

"...Narta, he was chosen," Alex said in a weak and small voice, sounding like a whisper or mutter.

But Norga could hear it, and immediately grieved. Finally, silence enveloped them. Despite the sound of cars and people shouting happily or hysterically, they were not affected.

"...have it, maybe I should just accept my destiny."

"..."

Not wanting for long, they walked along with slow steps.

Norga did not know how to comfort his best friend, it seemed impossible to comfort him now.

They pass the supermarket and Norga thinks of buying Alex his favorite chicken-flavored potato chips.

"Wait a minute, brother, I'll buy something."

Alex stops and turns around, he follows Norga and walks into the supermarket.

At the supermarket, Norga immediately picked up chicken-flavored potato chips and bought them.

"It's brother!"

For a moment, Alex was confused and asked.

"What is this for?"

"Eat this, who knows it will comfort you, even if it's just a little."

Alex looked at the potato chips and picked them up. The expression on his face did not change, it was still sad.

Alex suddenly walks towards the cooler and opens it up to grab a drink.

"Hey Norga, let's get a lot of snacks."

Alex finally smiled even if just a little. Norga also smiled and immediately saw the snack on display.

There are not many people in the supermarket, only a mother and daughter, Alex, Norga, a young man with his girlfriend, and a man with a hoodie jacket and short height. And before long, the person with the hoodie jacket also appeared, but this time his body was tall

"Mother! Mama! I want this one!"

"No, your teeth will be broken!'

A boy asked his mother to buy him chocolate candy. But of course the mother refused it on the grounds that her teeth would be damaged, toothless and hollow. Heard his mother's words, not afraid, but the child whined and cried.

Next to the mother and child, the hoodie with a short body was disturbed. He was very thin, short, and his eyes were red like people who never slept and always spent their time playing games.

He finally went the other way, and took one of the scissors that was sold, then returned to the place of the mother and child. He also took a lot of bread.

He suddenly threw one of the loaves of bread at the crying child.

Not only bread, but all the products that were nearby were thrown mercilessly towards the little boy.

The little boy was crying loudly. His mother was shocked and protected his daughter.

The guy keeps throwing things. The workers tried to stop him, but they were immediately injured.

Alex and Norga saw the commotion and tried to calm the person down.

"Hey hey hey, why are you doing this?" Alex tried asking the crazy guy.

The lunatic stopped throwing for a moment, he then said,

"The boy's crying makes my head hurt, so I want to keep him quiet for good" he replied emotionlessly and guiltlessly.

"What!?" Alex was surprised by the ridiculous reason.

"Based on a madman!" Added Alex.

"Why indeed? you guys won't be able to stop me! I'm a Special, damn it!"

Alex and Norga are surprised, they think that they can stop him, but their guts are shrunk when they find out that he is a Special.

Of course there was still hope, a young man who came with his girlfriend advanced with confidence.

"You're a Special, huh? Let's see if you're lying or not."

The young man clenched his hands and punched the madman in the stomach. But his fist was stuck, it was true that the madman was a Special.

"Wow, you're a real Special apparently, you're great too"

Because the brave young man spoke too much, the madman was upset and raised his fist. The young man was too arrogant so he had so many gaps that his fists were successfully thrust into his cheeks. The madman did not stop, he continued to punch the young man, until his face was bonyok.

For the final attack, the madman kicked the young man in the stomach and threw him towards his girlfriend and lay on the floor.

His girlfriend who was encouraging the young man was immediately frightened. The madman then walked towards the mother and child while removing a pair of scissors that he had taken.

Everyone was afraid of the madman, people could not move because they were too afraid, the mother begged for forgiveness, but the madman did not listen.

Well, everyone there was afraid of that lunatic, except for one.

"Hahahahahahahaha!"

One person with a hoodie laughed out loud. He felt that the young man and the madman were ridiculous.

Everyone was confused, including the madman. The madman immediately asked the man.

"Why are you laughing? What's so funny?"

"Why am I laughing? It's because of you and that young man. Your amateur fights are really funny entertainment!"

The person continued to laugh out loud before then speaking more.

"Not only that, your reasons are very funny. I'm sure you were just a coward before you became a Special, and you were lucky today to be a Special and therefore you acted at will."

"You feel like you've got great power and feel like your life has turned 180 degrees. You feel that if you become a Specialist, no one will dare to oppose you."

"The truth is, you're just a clown. You're a pretentious clown, fit to be people's entertainment."

The man stopped talking. The silence came again, but of course it did not last long, the madman began to get angry, his breathing was irregular and his heart was pounding.

"You.. you fucking! You're just a figurehead! Don't mess with me!"

The crazy guy's words surprised a hoodie. The hoodie then said.

"You really can't be helped."

The hoodie holds the ice cream parcel in his hand, opens it and eats it quickly and discards the ice cream stick before stepping on it to shreds.

Without hesitation, the madman came forward with scissors in his hand, he held his knife tightly and tried to pounce on the person.

But surprisingly, the person touched the scissors and broke it.

The madman was surprised not to play, including the person there.

Alex and Norga's mouths opened wide without fear that flies would enter their mouths.

Norga realized something, he felt that he had met that person. And if you remember it again, the height and jacket of the person is similar to the person who once helped him. Alex also knew this.

"What the hell, you're so weak!"

The man pulled the madman's jacket and leaned his head against the man's face. The madman's ugly face became even uglier, his nose dented and his teeth fell out. The madman fainted immediately.

Despite fainting, the hoodie doesn't stop. He threw it out of the supermarket, broke the window and the madman was thrown into the store in front of the supermarket.

Everyone in the supermarket was amazed and shocked. Including Alex and Norga.

The hoodie walks to the cashier. The cashier who joined was immediately shocked.

The person spent a lot of money, which is 20 million rupiah.

"It's for ice cream, other products, and window repairs."

"But this is too much."

"It's okay, just take it."

And that guy went cool.

Alex and Norga looked at each other, and they both caught up with the guy.

"Hey!" yell Alex.

The man stopped immediately, he looked back.

Alex and Norga immediately recognize the face, the face that helps Norga and warns Alex.

"Ah it turns out to be true, it's you!"

"Oh, you guys who are at the soto shop Pak Budi? We meet again."

The man greeted Alex and Norga very kindly.

"You're so cool, brother!"

"Obviously, I'm meddling because that guy sucks" he said, pointing at the madman he threw.

"But still, your actions are like the novels I read!" Norga.

"Oh really?"

"Right, you guys are really similar! Cool and brave."

"Hahaha, I'm so embarrassed."

The person scratched his hoodie-covered hair, then he looked at the two and said.

"...you are less fortunate."

"...what do you mean?"

"You weren't chosen to be Special."

At once Alex and Norga who were cheerful became moody and bowed. That guy feels guilty.

"You don't have to be sad, errr.., want to eat a burger."

Those who were gloomy were immediately excited again, and they went to Mekdi which was a distance away from the supermarket.

They ended up buying one burger and one soda each.

They sat by the window and immediately talked.

"By the way, we've never met? My name is Alan Lexius."

"I'm Alex Dwisatya."

"I'm Norga Garrison."

"It's nice to meet you two" said Alan, who then devoured the burger.

"How do you feel when you're not elected?"

"It's sad and it just feels like dying."

"I'm sad too, but I don't want to die."

"Hahaha, you want to be special."

"Yaaaa, it's me-trouble"

Alex then tells about the stakes, as well as Norga. After that, Alan laughed out loud.

"Hahahahahaha!"

Alex and Norga became embarrassed and ate slowly.

"So, you accepted it and now you've lost the challenge."

"I don't know if I lost the bet or not, but Alex lost the bet."

"Hmmmm, you guys are so unlucky."

"If you're your own brother, what's it like to be a Special?"

"It feels amazing! I can do whatever I want. Dependent between buildings, create high-quality potions and get rich, and troublemaker all I want."

Hearing Alan's statement, the two of them were shocked and their mouths were wide open, even Norga who wanted to eat his burger dropped his burger, fortunately his burger fell on the table.

"But, it's not that much fun either, because you're going to meet a lot of people who really piss you off and want to punch him in the face."

Alex and Norga are shocked again, but not to the point of dropping the burger.

Alan looked at them with a sharp and serious look.

"You remind me of myself before I became Special."

Alan sped up his meal and drank it. Then he spoke in a very serious tone.

"What would you two do if you could go Special directly, but you would have to risk your lives? You're gonna go straight to that place and risk your lives or you're gonna give up on luck?"

Alex and Norga were surprised. Is there such a place in the world?

They do not need to think long to answer it, their determination is already very big to become great Slayers.

Alex and Norga looked at each other and replied together firmly and loudly.

""We'll risk our lives!""

Alan looked at them with amazed gazes, their great determination completely reminded him of himself before becoming a Special. He smiled broadly and said,

"Listen, you now go home to each of you, then tomorrow, we meet in the garden of beautiful thorns. You know the place, right?"

Alex and Norga together answer "Yes."

"Well, tomorrow we meet there at 12 p.m. Don't be late!"

"H wait, what about school?" Alex asked even though he knew what the answer was.

"Of course it's truant, 1 day isn't papa right?"

"Sure, but if the school called my parents and uncle, what should my feet be?"

Alan was silent, he then thought for a moment and said.

"What if you guys stay in my house?"

Alex and Norga were shocked again, this was the fourth time.

"Stay at my sister's house? What if my parents were looking for me?"

"And if my uncle is also looking for me how? He's a terrible person."

"Just calm down, I'll take care of that. You just have to say agree or not."

Alex and Norga, who had been excited and determined, were now confused and dizzy. They were also wondering whether this big brother could be trusted or not. But seeing that Alan was serious, they finally accepted Alan's offer.

Alex and Norga don't know if their lives will really be at stake tomorrow.
