The Stupid Student System

"What's up, Riki?" his grandfather asked Zizi astonished to see Riki continue to pay attention to one of the large paintings on the wall of their house.
"This painting is good, unfortunately fake," Riki said.
"What?" A woman who is Zizi's mother feels unacceptable to Riki's words. "This painting is a gift I bought for my in-laws and it's very expensive, which might be fake!"
"Calm down, Hana. Let Riki explain it first about the reason," said Mr. Rudi who came with him.
"Alright, he better give a reasonable explanation! I don't care even though she saved my daughter if she was just boasting," Madam Hana stared intently at Riki.
Riki simply smiled and immediately drew closer to the painting to explain the reason he called it fake.

"This painting has some characteristics that indicate it is a fake painting" Riki said, closely observing the painting.
"First, if you look closely, you will see that the brush strokes look too perfect and orderly. Usually, in the original painting, the brush strokes are rougher and imperfect because the artist uses his own unique personal skills and techniques."
"In addition," continued Riki, "if you look at the details of the image and its color, you will see that they are too lively and bright. Original paintings usually have more subtle and realistic lighting, shades, and color gradations."
Riki then directed his attention to the skeleton of the painting. "Original painting usually has a frame made with more quality materials and neatly done. However, the frame of this painting looks quite cheap and is made with materials that are not so good. It's also a sign that this painting might be a fake."
"In addition, I also see a sign of authenticity in the lower right corner of this painting," Riki said, pointing to a small sign seen there.
"Usually, the original painting has a clearly printed mark of authenticity and a variety of security that prevents duplication. However, the mark of authenticity in this painting looks faint and is not entirely convincing."
Riki finished his explanation and looked at Mr. Rudi and Mrs Hana with confidence. "So, based on these traits, I dare to conclude that this painting is a fake."
Mr. Rudi and Mrs Hana looked at each other and looked surprised.
They thought for a moment and finally acknowledged Riki's explanation. "You are right, Riki," said Mr. Rudi with an understanding smile. "Thank you for revealing this truth to us. We'll call the seller immediately and find the right solution."
Madam Hana nodded and smiled at Riki. "I'm sorry about the previous one, Riki. We really appreciate the honesty and care in observing things like this. You are an expert."

After taking a look at the other art collections, Riki and the Santoso family ended up having lunch.
"So Riki's sister is here, what if she's the one who cooked lunch today" Zizi suggested.
"Zizi, Riki's sister must be tired if we ask her to cook," said Zizi's father, Rudi Santoso.
"I don't mind anyway" Riki said, not minding.
"I love to cook and love being able to help" Riki added.
"Alright, then let our chef accompany you in the kitchen" said his mother, Hana Santoso.
It appears Riki and the Santoso family's personal chef entered the kitchen while carrying some groceries.

The two of them then began the cooking process vigorously.
Riki takes on the role of the main cook, while Koki named Seto helps with cutting vegetables and providing clues.
"Hey boy, where did you learn to cook?" ask Chef Seto curiously.
"From the internet," Riki answered briefly.
Chef Seto doubts the answer because he sees Riki's ability better than him in cooking.
However, right now they had to focus on cooking and there was no point in also asking more.
Moments later, the fragrant aroma of food began to smell throughout the house.
The smell invited the other Santoso family to check the cooking process.
They all look enthusiastic and interested in what Riki and Koki Seto are doing.
Riki carefully served the dishes he had cooked on the dining table. Everyone sat down expectantly, ready to enjoy the dishes they had been waiting for.
"What an amazing thing, Riki!" praise Zizi's father, Mr. Rudi Santoso, after tasting the dish. "It feels so good!"
"Rubber, Riki. You really have a talent for cooking" said Zizi's mother, Mrs Hana, smiling proudly.
All the members of the Santoso family agreed and stated that the dishes served by Riki were amazingly delicious.

After lunch was over, Riki and the Santoso family gathered in the living room.
They talked about the food they had just enjoyed and appreciated Riki for his contribution.
"Thank you for cooking for us, Riki," said the little girl Zizi. "It feels amazing. Honey, grandma can't enjoy today."
"Is your grandmother going out?" riki asked curiously, but Zizi looked sad.
"Grandmother is sick, but strangely, any hospital says that my grandmother is fine" Zizi explained.
Unable to see Zizi sad, Riki decides to use the power of the system and try to help her grandmother.
"Please enter," said Mr. Aryo, Zizi's grandfather, bringing Riki to see his wife's situation in the room.
"How long has the madam been unconscious?" ask Riki.
"Sunday," replied Mr. Aryo very worriedly.
Later, Riki tries the power of her strange system to check on the condition of Miss Santi.

"It's true that there are no medical diseases of any kind" said Riki quite astonished.
After trying to check it again, Riki also found that her grandmother Zizi had been used.
The results of his examination revealed that there was a strong negative energy surrounding Madam Santi's body.
Riki was convinced that this was the cause. "I have to take away her negative energy," Riki thought.
Without hesitation, Riki activated the power of his system to try and eliminate the negative energy.

In a split second, Riki felt a powerful energy flowing through his body and helped to pull out the negative energy from Madam Santi's body.
Not long after, Madam Santi woke up from her sleep.
He looked confused and weak, but Lord Aryo immediately approached him and held his hand.

"Darling, what really happened to you?" asked Mr. Aryo quite curious.
Mistress Santi still felt anxious answering, "I don't know, everything suddenly became blurred and I felt very weak."
Riki smiled gently, "Quiet, grandma. I'm here and everything's gonna be fine now."
"Grandma!" zizi said glad her grandmother woke up.
Later, Riki begins to explain to everyone about the negative energy he finds and how he should use his power to eliminate it.
Riki also looked around the room to find out if there were any suspicious items used by the culprit as a medium for use
"Madam, where did you get that wooden statue of the snake!" riki said while pointing at one of the items in the room.
"That's a gift from one of my daughter-in-law," replied Mistress Santi despite not knowing why Riki was asking.
"That's what makes you sick and unconscious" Riki told him.
"Honey, how long are you going to believe that boy? From the beginning, I just felt that he had bad intentions for our family," said Mr. Aryo very upset.
Despite almost losing her life by her son-in-law, Santi continued to defend her.
"If I can dismantle his bad intentions, will the Madam be able to stop defending him?" said Riki trying to help Mr. Aryo.
The reason Riki did this was because he felt his uncle Zizi named Adi was the main mastermind of the kidnapping back then.
Seriate.
