Want to Become a Top Ranker
Chapter 39 Myself a year ago

Arriving in Class. The four of us sat down on the bench. Waiting for the Mathematics teacher to come to our Class.

  "Weh, have a new circle." Vincent patted my shoulder.

  "It just so happened to be together." Looking towards Vincent.

  "Ohh. kirain has a new circle." Put on a relieved facial expression.

  Hmm. It seems like she's afraid that I don't play with her anymore. In any case, I with him it seems like brothers. It was hard for us to part. He and I have been in a relationship since childhood for a long time.

  Even before we were born, there was a rumor I heard in my family. The Astroze Family and the Ignite Family were very close to each other. Compared to the other families, Astroze had a Special Right that made him Trusted once by the Ignite Family.

  I heard it from Ayahanda too. That He was very close friends with the current head of the Astroze Family. They were both in one team when Ayahanda was still active as a Ranker in this country.

  That's why my relationship with Vincent can be so familiar to this day. It is also thanks to the Relationship between Families.

  As we chatted, Luci who was sitting on the bench in front of me joined in our conversation. "What are you two talking about?" Leaning at the end of his chair.

  "Don't say anything about Luci." Say myself.

  "Yahh. kirain was talking about something." Luci with a dissatisfied expression.

  "Hahaha.tumben really you join our chat Ci." Vincent laughed.

  "You wait for the teacher to come in. Instead of playing smartphone continues."

  Right also the talk. It is better to strengthen the relationship between students in the same class than looking at a smartphone.

  "Well, what are we talking about now?" Vincent said.

  "Hmm.." I was thinking about what we could make chat material. As much as possible the topic of chatter can be understood by all of us. So that each other can feel comfortable when talking.

  Not long after, Luci opened the topic of conversation while raising his hand. "how about we discuss romance?" With a big smile.

  Again this topic. It's not that I don't like the chatter, I tend to want to avoid someone not knowing I'm in the same phase as someone. I want to hide my love from others.

  "Relove yes.." Vincent by scratching his Head.

  Vincent also seemed to be confused by his language. That's quite natural considering Vincent has never once dated anyone else. I'm the same as it seems. This is the first time I've felt a sense of love in me.

  Before, I had always avoided contact with anyone other than my little friend. Thanks to the trauma that was given in the past, it was quite difficult to get my mental back to being like a child in general.

  It took me about 5 years for the first time I spoke to anyone other than the people I knew as a child. It happened when I got into this school.

  [Full Flashback when First Stepping on the ground of this school ]

  While on my way to school in my family's car, my sister and I went to my school at the same time. Maybe Sister Lily was still worried about my mental state back then. That's why he went with me to enter this school for the first time.

  Sister Lily led me to the front of the gate. The rest, I gathered my determination and readiness to communicate with others here.

  "Goddessa.." While gathering determination.

  I also walked into the school. There are a lot of people who walk like me. They all seemed familiar with their friends there. As for me, I just walk alone here.

  In my heart, I feel a little uneasy. "Vincent where is this." While biting my finger. After all this time I am walking alone. Usually at school, I was always next to Vincent.

  I don't know what to do right now. I walk in the front yard of the school. The leaves fall because of the wind that blows them. The sunlight pierced my eyes. I put my hand on my forehead to block out the sunlight.

  The moment I pushed my finger away, I heard the voice of someone near me.

  "Hey, do you know where Class 10-A is?"

  I also started to feel bad. My whole body is now beginning to shiver. Inwardly, "Is someone talking to me?" While still putting my palm on the forehead.

  I slowly turned towards him with my body trembling. In front of me, a girl was looking at me.

  "Finally you look at me. I thought I was wrong." Say the girl.

  {A-what should I do.} In my heart while frightened.

  My eyes look very empty at the moment. The girl moved her hand right in front of my face while saying. "Hello.. Do you hear me?".

  I immediately realized that there was someone in front of me right now. I tried to muster up my courage to answer his question.

  "Ha-haros." My tongue was tucked away from the menacing fear.

The girl's face looked astonished thanks to the words I said. "Haro?". Bending his head to the right.

  In my heart right now it is shrouded in anxiety. "Damn! After a long time I was able to talk to other people. Why is my tongue tucked away all." While enduring the shame.

  Someone shouted towards us.

  "Oiyy Novaria's. I've found his class."

  The girl turned to look at the person who was shouting. He then returned his screams with a shout as well. "Okay Alice." His two hands clung to his mouth making a circle around his mouth.

  The girl then turned her head towards me back while saying. "Thank you.". And then immediately go towards Someone who called out to him.

  Hearing that, somehow the courage gradually began to increase. I didn't give him any information. But he thanked me. What a strange girl.

  "Novaria is her name.. She said she was in 10-A class, right? Then he's in class with me." With a soft voice.

  I continued walking towards the Classroom. When I got to the front of the school building, I was a little amazed.

  "Gee.." Looking at the top of the building.

  The people who walked past me seemed astonished by what I was doing.

  "Look at him, what's the diem in front of here." Whispering.

  "Maybe he's a freak." Whispering too.

  The sounds of people passing by started to bother me. The moment I wanted to step foot, someone grabbed my shoulder.

  Vincent's voice embracing me was heard instantly.  "Yo guys, how was the beginning of High School life? It's not okay."

  I looked right at him on my left.

  "Finally you came too." felt a sense of relief.

  I am happy and relieved this time thanks to Vincent who is near me. Really, I don't know what to do when I'm alone here.

  "Well…. It's still your trauma. Let's go to our new class." Vincent who was in front of me with his thumb moved backwards parallel to the shoulder.

  "Wait for Vin.." I ran after that little Vincent.

  We were both in the 1st floor Corridor. There were a lot of students passing by in the corridor. They all seemed to be chatting with their comrades. I who was still not too able to be in this new place began to look at me with a slightly agitated expression.

  Vincent walked with both hands in his pants pocket. He walked casually no matter the circumstances around. His nature is very different from mine. He has a lot of courage.

  As for me, I must gather the courage first to enter this new foreign place.

  Since I didn't know the location of my class yet, I asked Vincent. With the body upheld and the hands that dwell parallel in the Waist. "Vin, where is our class?" With a slightly slow tone of voice.

  { Uwwah.. } In heart.

  Vincent looked at me for a moment.

"Why is your face so shocked."

He knows my feelings now. I don't want to talk to the teacher.

  "Kok Why." With both hands moved like someone who denies.

  Vincent began to smile in confusion at me. I'm trying to put an expression on my face for a minute. He was afraid that he would understand what I was thinking right now.

  "Yes already. Let's go to the Teacher's Room."

  { Aaaa!! There are also situations I don't want. } Shouting in heart.

  Vincent walked straight up to his Corridor. I followed him from behind with footsteps that went along with him.

  Arriving somewhere, Vincent begins to stop in front of the Room. There is a signboard that names the room.

  [Guru's Room ]

  Yes, the place we are now standing is in Front of the Master Hall. Vincent opened the door without thinking. I who saw it was immediately surprised by his behavior.

  I pulled the back of his shirt. "Oy Vin's. Don't just open dong first. I need to be ready mentally first." With a feeling of fear and anxiety.

  "Allah.no need to be prepared mentally. enter and give greetings. Abish asked the teacher inside. Just do that." Vincent explains how things to do while in his room.

  "But Vin.."

  "Here you go, if you don't want to come in, you wait outside. Let me have it inside." With a little high.

  Vincent came in and left me. I chased him for a moment too.

Inside the room, many teachers were looking at us. Vincent started to lower his body 30° after he came in. I saw it, immediately following the moves Vincent made.

  "For the fathers and mothers of the teachers whom we respect." Vincent with his body down 30°

  "Morning." All the teachers returned Vincent's greetings.

  Vincent straightened his body again. I followed his movements too. I can only follow what he's doing for now.

  "What's up?" Say one of the teachers.

  "Look ma'am, we both came here to ask you something. About our Classroom." Vincent explained our purpose and purpose here.

  I just silently heard what Vincent said while glancing at him.

  "What class are you two from?"

  "Him and I went to Class 10-A Ma'am. We'd like to ask you about where our class is."

  The teachers saw each other. There was also a teacher who was whispering and there were also those who seemed to not care while enjoying a cup of drink.

  "Class 10-A Yes! I welcome you both very well. Your classes are on the 2nd Floor. You can see the Class Board above the door."

  The teacher looked very pleased with both of us. However, the classroom system here makes Class A look privileged by the teachers here.

  "Okay, thanks for the information, ma'am." Vincent lowered his head in a sign of gratitude. I followed his movements too. "Then we'll let you go, ma'am." Vincent told the teacher.

  As we began to turn around, the Teacher called us back. The two of us immediately turned back to look towards the Master Teacher.

  "wait. Can you guys introduce yourself? Let's just know each other." Master Ma'am with a smile and his hands touching each other parallel to Dada.

  Here, I started to feel restless again. I don't have the courage to speak in front of the man I just met.

  "My name is Vincent Astroze. I come from the Astroze Family." Vincent introduces himself with his right hand on top of his chest.

  "Vincent yah... If you're the other one?"

  The teacher began to point to my direction. I was the one he pointed at, as soon as my body shook and sweat started pouring out. I try to speak in circumstances such as.

  "Sa-me." On the sidelines of my conversation, Vincent cut me off.

  "Sorry Mom, let me know him. He's Raphael Ignite. He came from the Ignite Main family by chance." Vincent introduced me. I saw him talking with admiration to her.

  He knows what I feel when I want to introduce myself.

  "Ognite!" Cheers of all the Teachers in the Teacher Room.

  They looked surprised after hearing the surname Ignite. It's not surprising to me to see their faces like that. There's been a lot of people's expressions that I've seen exactly the same as what I've seen here. Everyone looked surprised when they heard the name Ignite.

  "Ha-hello sir, ma'am teacher." Waving his hands, hiding behind Vincent.

  The teachers stood up and approached me.

  "Known your mother's name.."

  "Father's name is Val."

  The teachers seemed to want to shake hands with me. I was terrified because it was them, trying to pull Vincent's back shirt while hiding my face on his shoulders.

  Vincent also seemed to respond to what I did to him. He immediately spoke softly telling me about what happened to me.

  "Sorry Sir, Mom. Looks like this kid's a little freaked out to see you guys scramble like that." He pointed at me who was hiding behind him.

  The teachers immediately stopped shaking hands after hearing Vincent's words. I looked at them all from behind Vincent's back. I put my eyes on them.

  They also immediately return to their respective activities.

  "I'm sorry, all of us, son. We didn't know you were scared like that." With a sorry expression.

  After seeing the teacher's expression, I immediately stepped away from Vincent's shoulder.

  "I'm sorry, Mom too. Actually I-I haven't talked to anyone in a long time." He looked down like someone apologizing.

  "Yes ma'am, then we both go to class first." Vincent patted my shoulder.

  I looked towards him. He raised his eyebrows like he was coding myself to leave immediately.

  "I-iya Ma'am, I'm Ama Vincent go to class first huh." He glanced at Vincent.

  "Yes.." The teacher in a soft tone.

  The two of us left the room and closed the door of the Master Hall when we were outside.

  "Fuuhh.." I can breathe a sigh of relief at last. I stroked my chest to remove the lingering fear.

  "Don't be too scared like that. I understand your trauma is so bad. Just a suggestion, often talking to someone other than myself or Lian. You should dare to talk to someone other than the two of us."

  Vincent's been advising me seriously. It seems like I have to get used to talking to other people. We walked up the Stairs to the 2nd Floor..
