Episode 7. Another Personality (Revised v 1.1)

"YOU LOSE!!!"

The console who connected to the television has annoying sounds when I get lost.

BRAKK!

I slammed my gamepad. I've never been good at playing fighting games like this. The combos are too confusing for me.

"Hoi hoi, you lost so badly, Syid?"

"Shut up... You're just lucky!"

"Luck never be with me."

"Whatever, I just want to sleep!"

"If you can't sleep because you keep thinking about losing, just tell me, I'll face you all night."

"Shut UP!"

I went into my room with annoyed face and lay down on my bed. I open my phone to accompany me to sleep.

A message appeared on the screen. Sophia's name was on the sender's name.

I've named all contact I know, so I will not get a wrong call.

(I'm looking forward to it, Kanda Sophia). She's mysterious as usual and never says many words.

Because I don't know what to do in this room. In the end, I chose to just sleep.

The next day when school is over, the students started to leave one by one from the classroom.

Due to yesterday's incident, the existence of the green hair was nowhere to be seen at this time. 'Where is she going?' If something happens to her, then I as a teacher must act even though she hates me though.

I'll give her time, approximately 3 days absent. If she's absent more than that, then it's time for me to make a move.

the class was empty and only Sophia and I were in the class. She started to stand up from her chair and walked toward me.

Although it doesn't feel good to be taught by a younger person, this is my consequence. I will think of this just as my karma.

"Mr. Rasyid..." She smiled hinting at what would happen.

I just stared blankly at Sophia. A difficult day seems like it's going to happen, as long as I don't do anything weird and follow her, then there won't be any problems.

Hopefully so...

1 hour has passed, and I was given a lot of lessons by her, the itching in my mouth started to feel because of my muscles training around my mouth.

Until about 5 pm. She finally ends the lesson. Thank goodness she didn't torture me any further, maybe she can make me got a stroke.

As yesterday's agreement, I also have to train her and become her private tutor. She took me to her house.

Really, my eyes are wide even though my expression is flat. I had no idea that Sophia had a house that...

"BIG?!" My expression is flat but has a high-pitched voice.

A big house is in front of me. This is her house? I can only gape in disbelief.

"Wait here, sir!" Sophia entered the house.

She probably wanted to change her clothes first. It will not be good if the host wears clothes that are worn all day.

"Okay, you can come in." Sophia let me in.

Sophia in ordinary clothes is a rare thing I see. It's probably because I'm just a teacher, so I only see her at school.

Her clothes look very fashionable. The blue top combined with the white skirt is perfect for this hot afternoon. Her long black hair adds to her graceful charm. For others...

She led me to the arena by going through the hall in her house. I looked around the hallway walls which were decorated with paintings of high-ranking people. 'It's big but too quiet.' I judged this luxurious and palace-like house.

Is Sophia a rich family? Then why don't they make a move when their child is being abused? Is it they too busy with work that they don't notice?

"Where are your parents?" I brave myself to ask.

"Work, and only come home once a year." She answered straightly and quickly.

I better not prolong this conversation. It's dangerous if I go on. Might as well create a red flag.

Arriving at the end of the hall, I saw an indoor competition arena has the same size as a school arena.

How rich is she? She even had an arena like this.

Sophia saw this as normal. She continued her way towards the center of the field and took out her weapon chip. A fan is formed from the chip. She pointed her fan at me.

"Want to practice right now?" I said flatly to her.

She said nothing but nodded her head.

Unable to keep her waiting, I followed Sophia's footsteps and walked to the center of the field. Now we are facing each other.

I took out my Curved Sword. Sophia seemed to be the first to notice that I changed my weapon.

"Why did you change it?" she asked innocently.

"Destroyed." I'm not saying much, just need to give a clear reason.

I pointed my sword at her. "First, let's see how good your physical strength is!"

First I told Sophia to use her physical strength (purely just a weapon without the help of magic).

Sophia who understood tried to come forward by spinning her body and fan at the same time. I blocked Sophia's attack which was so fast but readable. I shook my head. "Still not enough!"

Sophia returned to her original position and tried the same move over and over again. Until finally I think the speed is enough.

"Stop!" I told her to stop. "Now cast your magic!" I shoot water upwards to give her the signal.

I had Sophia cast her pure magic without channeling it into her weapon.

Sophia immediately took out ice balls and smashed them towards me. I got hit but this doesn't feel to me. To me, this is just like a piece of paper thrown at me.

I just want to know how much the attack hurts. No other meaning, I hope. I'm getting nervous.

Various magics have hit me.

"Now your strongest magic!"

At last, I finally had Sophia cast the same magic as when she fought Stevent.

A needle of ice flew towards me.

Here it is, the attack! I have to prepare to feel the sensation.

PYARRRRR

I got stabbed by that thing.

Of all her magic, this is indeed the most strongest. But still, this feels nothing to me.

I saw the usage of the magic amount was very high. Sophia was exhausted just by taking it out, maybe she might faint if she used it at the last second of battle.

"Hah.....hah...hah...." Her tired voice catching her breath was heard.

"Enough!" I stopped the training session.

With various analyzes of each attack and magic that hit me, I can assume that the attacks are quite strong. The problem was how she managed time when she had to use physical attacks, when she had to use magic, and when she had to use her ace magic.

"Sir, may I ask a question?" Sophia who is sitting in front of me looks at me sadly and interrupts my calculations.

"What?" I still answered it even though I was disturbed, I was still the teacher after all.

"Are you a masochist?" An unthinkable word comes from her mouth.

All the calculations that were in my mind fell apart and disappeared somewhere. I accidentally forgot everything.

"H-how could you say that?!" I tried to stay normal but my whole body was shaking.

Sophia gives a smug smile at me. "Gross... I didn't know someone like this existed. Even now is in front of me..." Sophia blushed with real embarrassment after seeing my other self.

Focusing too much on analyzing Sophia's magic made me forget that I'd been hit by a lot of attacks and blows from her magic. Maybe because I was looking forward to her ace, I unconsciously put on an excited face. Now she was thinking strange things.

"Hahahaha…..I didn't know you had such a habit," her laugh made her stomach sick.

"It-it's not like that!" I tried to dodge but was at a loss for words.

"Then what? Your face while waiting for my attack is very clear in my memory." She looked stupidly at me.

"Ahhhhhhhh!" I regret doing this.

Sophia's lost smile is back. I will consider Sophia's smile to be the result of my hard work. I couldn't hide my happy expression when I saw her smile.

Practice is finished with a warm smile from her. I hope she doesn't end up on Nova's list.

I returned home and was greeted by my annoying brother. He suddenly put on a smug face while looking at me.

"You came home late. Have you been playing with girls?"

"I just got lost on the way"

"If you want to lie, at least do with effort. You're taking the bus right?!"

"Try to walk once in a while"

"Impossible!"

I ignored him and walked over to the dining table chair. The food was already served by my brother on it.

I ate it immediately without paying attention to it. We are used to this atmosphere, there is no need to thank or forgive each other. This family has that principle, as long as they follow the rules, then there won't be any problems with this bond.

"Earlier there was a message from the principal. He said, if you have time, meet him in his room" My brother who was washing the dishes said that.

"Why won't he just come straight to me?"

"I don't know..... Maybe it's because you are scary"

"How is it possible (Mr. Bahar's face is much scarier)"

Suddenly the sound of my cell phone distracts me. I received a short message from Erika.

(What are you doing with Sophia?, Erika Rahmana). I had to answer carefully, otherwise, I would be misunderstood.

(I just at-(A hand grabs the phone while I'm pressing it.)

"My dear brother, don't play with your cellphone while eating, okay?" My brother took my phone with a piercing smile.

I can only pout my mouth and cross my arms. This guy is really annoying...

My brother's hand pointed at my food. 'Finish your meal first, okay?!'. I can hear it even though it's just a piercing smile.

After eating, I took my phone back and opened the message.

(Why did it take so long to answer?, Erika Rahmana)

(Sorry I was cooking water, Rasyid Londerik)

(Ha? Forget it, So what did you do with Sophia earlier :( )

(She is a study maniac. She asked me to teach her more)

(Until night? You're not doing anything weird, right?)

(Relax she's not my type.)

(Then what is your type?)

(Why did you ask?)

.....

Erika didn't reply to my messages. I closed this full of lie talk and went to sleep.
