Want to Become a Top Ranker
Chapter 49 Basketball


I finished playing 1 song. The whole room immediately applauded festively as I finished it.


  PROKK


  PROKK


  "Eat Raphael.a very cute play you." Shouted Tom.


  "Truly Masterpiece." Shouts Gary.


  Heard their cries of praise. I felt a little misbehaved, with a feeling of pleasure and shame that happened simultaneously. I thank everyone who praised me.


  "Thank you.." with the Head down.


  Ms. Caroline also seemed to be fascinated by my piano playing. That happy feeling was implied in his face. He looked at me with widened eyes and a smile towards me.


  "Your game was beyond my expectations. I'm looking at a Piano Concert." Said Ms. Caroline with a small clap.


  I was a little happy to hear him say that. I tried my best to unleash my potential in playing Piano earlier. By living the voices produced while imagining being in a noble castle.


  Ah yes, I almost forgot to play a song requested by Novaria. Song by Piano Sonata No 16 in C Major. Before that, I asked permission first through Miss Caroline to play 1 more song.


  "Excuse me, ma'am." Say it while raising my hand.


  "Yes what's wrong?" Ask Ms. Caroline.


   "Can I play 1 more song? Maybe everything here is quite familiar with the song later," said I.


  Ms. Caroline seemed to be thinking about it first. His face was slightly down with his right hand on the chin. Then he turned his head back to my direction, "By Raphael. I also want to hear once again the Pianomu game," Reply Ms. Caroline.


  After getting permission, I immediately pressed one by one string according to the Chord song River Flows in You.


  TINGTINGS.TING


  TENGS..TENGS..


  Played the song with an acoustic rhythm. With fingers pressing on each other quickly. Moving the Chord with its shrews coupled with the interlocking Bass-Bass brings together a harmony between the sound of the tone produced.


  Play quietly while looking towards the Friends who seemed to be enjoying the song. Their heads were moving to the right and to the left like they were enjoying a concert.


  I also moved my body to follow them. Well, a pleasure in itself when they see all those who watch enjoy the song. Means the results of my Struggle and the training I always do every day for 7 years is not in vain.


****************


   Some moments….


  I also pressed the Staira with a slow sign The song wants to end. After playing the song, they all clapped their hands again. With a Smiling Expression Implied in Some.


  Ms. Caroline also re-clapped. I immediately stood up and lowered my head and body as a sign of gratitude to them once again. I went straight back to my seat.


  They were all looking at me at this moment accompanied by a clap of hands that had not stopped since. I also sat in my Chair with a sense of relief after playing 2 songs at once. I was so satisfied that I received a lot of applause like this.


   "Thank you my Raphael." said Novaria in a cheerful tone.


   "Same - Same my Novaria.." My reply.


   The happiness on his face made me want to embrace him.


    "Surely you feel that it's a pleasure now not Raph?" Leon Said.


     "Kok you know?" Ask while tilting your head.


     "How do you not know, your face person is as comfortable as a smile like that." He pointed to my face with his head.


    Ehh!! Unknowingly I felt comfortable smiling by myself from earlier. Not without cause, the expression of all who were watching coupled with the pleasure of Novaria made my expression appear without me noticing.


    "Ahaha.I don't realize that from just now smile." While stroking my own hair.


    "Next.." Said Miss Caroline.


  *****************


    1 Hour Later.


   His assessment was completed. Now the time indicates at 11:30. 30 minutes will enter the break time. There are 30 minutes left for Music Lessons to finish.


   "Because everyone has made an assessment. Now maybe you can be free to do anything here. But remember, not a single device is damaged when you play," said Ms. Caroline.


    "Good Mom.." Everything's legitimate.


   I'm confused what I want to play. I think I'll try the guitar here. I haven't played guitar for a week. It was also me playing using the Guitar I made with the skills I had. Not very good at hearing his voice.


   Leon and Vincent stood up from their seats. I asked them, "Where are you going?" Sitting by looking at the two of them.


  "Main Games in Class.." Leon Said.


  "Ga knows what to do. Confused as well" said Vincent with a puzzled face.


  They both left the Music Room. I'm also confused about what to do right now.


  "Raph, come out yuk!" Take Novaria.


    "Where's Nov going?" My toot.


    "To class, here rame so be alone." Reveal Novaria while holding my hand.


    Any together? Hmm. Itung-itung let the Deket. I also accepted his invitation.


    "Jaudah come Nov." I said while looking at his face.


    Before I left, I saw Alice seemed to be in a state of confusion at this moment. I asked him too.


   "What did Alice think?" I asked while looking at him.


   "Well, I don't know why I have such a bad feeling right now. I was ordinary." Reveal Alice while looking at my direction.


   "What bad feeling?" ask Novaria.


   "I don't know Nov either. Suddenly it appeared so." Alice was filled with a look of agitated face.


  Speaking of bad feelings, I remember when I, Vincent and Laurencia were caught in the Dungeon Break Disaster around here. I can't ignore the bad feeling Alice is feeling.


   I tried to calm him down first before me and Novaria left.


   "Oh, don't think too much. Maybe it's because you're a little scared right now."


   "Yes Lic, don't think about it until it makes you so nervous." Connect Novaria while stroking Alice's back.


  He stood up with his spirit as he was and began to approach Violin. The others are still here and only a few go to class. Novaria and I went straight to class after Alice who had calmed down.


  *****************


1 Hour Passed…


  The break time is over. I who rested alone with Novaria immediately returned to class again. We talked a little bit about the bad feeling that happened to Alice during the break. I began to think about what that bad feeling meant.


   Whether I should ask Vania or Triniade about it. I looked towards the Sky outside the window for a moment while thinking about his bad premonition.


   "You still think of Alice's bad feeling earlier huh Raph?"


   "Where is Nov. Bad premonitions are hard to ignore. Especially before I also had a bad feeling that immediately happened in front of my eyes. So I can't ignore it." Reveal it while looking up at the clear sky.


   "On Dungeon Break that happened Last Month huh?"


  I turned to look at his slightly worried face. It seems like I thought too much about it that it made Novaria a little worried.


   "That's one of them, but never mind, forget about it."


  I also tried to look calm so that Novaria did not feel anxious anymore. My mind is still thinking about that, though. Hopefully Vania or Triniade can give a definite answer to that.


  I don't want anything bad to happen to all of us. That day alone weighed on my mind. I remembered the screams and corpses lying around while I was fighting the Triniade which moved his consciousness into a Minotaur.


   ******************


  The next lesson is sports.. We were all now gathering at a Gymnasium located next to the School Building. The gymnasium is spacious with a Volleyball Court, Basketball and a Stage for the Theater.


   All of us who wear Sports Clothes sit on the Gymnasium Floor while listening to what Mr. Gritz says.


  "Ehem!" Mr. Gritz is cleared of heart. We all glanced at him standing in front of us, "Today maybe you'll do a basketball game for all of you."


   I'm not very good at sports. Because my body is quite weak, and not athletic. It might be hard for me to play basketball. I hope the training I do can make me improve a little.


   I sat on the floor with my legs bent with my hands on my heels like I was getting ready. Looking towards Novaria who was sitting in the female line. Novaria who wears her Sporting clothes looks very charming. Her hair tied up while exercising also matched her.


  While I was looking towards Novaria, someone behind me patted me on the shoulder. I looked back and followed the direction of the person who patted me.


   "Yoo Raph.." said Frans.


   Tumben once he asked me to talk. Rarely saw him talking to me in class.


 


   "What's up Frans?" ask me.


   "No, there's nothing. Just wanted to say hello."


   "Ohh.. Kirain's got nothing."


   "Oh yes Raph, are you dating Novaria now?"


   "Yes Frans. Since yesterday I've been dating her." My answer.


   "Good, so I'm more eager to beat you."


   Defeating me for a moment I fell silent and was astonished at what he said. I don't have a problem with him at all. I asked him about him wanting to beat me. "Beat me how does that mean?" ask me.


  Slowly his face looked disappointed. That speech could make him disappointed, right? I just asked him.


  "You forgot Raph anyway." with his slightly disappointed expression.


  Beware, I remember. What I forgot about him. I try to remember it as hard as I can. But the result is nothing, I don't remember anything. I also put up a gesture not knowing with eyebrows slightly up and both palms pointing upwards followed by shoulders that come up.


  "Huh.forgetit. I'm not excited if you forget that." Said Frans in a moody tone.


  I felt a little bad about her forgetting something she thought was important. I turned back to stand up to Mr. Gritz.


    "So for the Team Selection how? You choose your own or you choose your own?" ask Mr. Gritz.


   Contact all the Pupils immediately gave their choice Each of them shouted.


  "Pick Yourself Sir!"


  "Aja Pak!"


  Now, the situation is divided into 2 camps. Kubu Choose for yourself with Kubu Dipiliin. They all argue about it.


  "Pick Itself so we can play with the ones we know." Kroenzi.


  "Choose let there be no Choose love. If you choose yourself, someone will feel isolated." Reinhart Shouted.


  The two of them had no end in arguing about small matters. Each camp also argued to strengthen their respective elections. I just keep quiet. After all, want to choose what the results are the same.


  Leon who was in front of me was also calm and did not interfere with the matter. I asked him which one he chose. "Leon, which one did you choose? Choose yourself or Selected?" ask me.


  He also looked at me. "I follow the most." with a flat expression. His choice was almost similar to mine. He seemed to be more pleased to be calm. Mr. Gritz who saw the commotion immediately calmed them all down by shouting.


  "HAD!" snapped Mr. Gritz. Suddenly the disciples who heard his screams immediately shrieked and pensively. It was as if they were calm before an angry lion. Mr. Gritz also returned to his throat and calm down for a moment.


  "Father will decide through the most votes. For those of you who choose to choose your own please Lift 1 Finger. And for those who choose to Lift 2 Fingers. Okay!" said Mr. Gritz.


  We all agreed to his proposal.


  "Okay please Vote from now on!"


  We all raised our hands. I raised 1 finger which means choose yourself. I see, On average they all raised their 1 Finger. But I don't know which option is more. Mr. Gritz also began to count one by one the fingers raised.


   "To Choose alone there are 12 People while Voted there are 10 People. Means now it's a deal yes that for the composition of his team choose his own."


 


  But there are 2 excess people left. While the game is filled by 5 people in 1 team. I also raised a question to Mr. Gritz about it. I raised my hand first so that Mr. Gritz would respond to my whereabouts.


  "Sir, for example divided by 4 teams with each team filled with 5 people. Then the remaining 2 are flanked sir?" my many.


  Mr. Gritz also replied quickly without thinking first. "2 people will become Referees. To secure the course of the match so that there is no cheating" explained Mr. Gritz.


  Like that. it's good, so 2 people who are not choosy can still follow the basketball game even though just being a referee.


  "Now, please choose your own friends who you want to invite to join a team." Reveal Mr. Gritz while gluing his palms together.


  We all started looking for anyone we could invite to join….
