Episode 34. Live in Two Different World

The audience in the square cheered the winners wildly. The proud and embarrassed faces of the winners were seen up there.

Xander seemed to be the one feeling the embarrassment because he was standing where he wasn't supposed to be.

The fit one up here should be the one who had won the battle, not him who even lost in the semi-finals. That man had to be there because everyone else was elsewhere.

Samuel and Erika are at the health center, Tasya refuses because she is lower than him, and the winner of the test just disappears nowhere.

With this, the Teacher Test has reached its end.

"You are strong as always, Syid. And also, more look like human right now." Haniyah looked up at the sky imagining her husband's face and said that from outside the square while looking at the big screen outside the square.

"See honey, your hard work is paying off. Even though it's a shame that you cannot see it, your kindness has paid off one by one. Honey..., you are really a very good person... until God saw a beautiful flower and picked it in the garden." Haniyah wiped her tears and turned around to left the square while carrying her son who had fallen asleep.

At another place.

In front of the health center, Samuel met a gloomy Erika who was sitting alone.

"What are you doing, Erika? Shouldn't you be happy when Rashid won?"

"I was happy when he won..., moreover, I was relieved he wasn't covering himself up anymore." Erika smiled brightly as she closed her eyes.

A few seconds later, her face became wistful and sad. "Actually right now, I was thinking about Fredrica." Erika lowered her head.

"Oh... that teacher. You've been friends for a long time, but because of that incident, your relationship was ruined." Samuel turned his eye to the hospital door. "What did she say?" His eyes are sharp.

"She looked away when I saw her. We didn't even talk at all."

'I don't understand women's thoughts, but it seems Fredrica hates anyone who has anything related to Rasyid's brother. Rasyid, may you be strong enough to face her calamity.' Samuel's ridiculous face was painted and sweat was running down his face from worry.

"By the way, your last fight was really great. But it's a shame, you two were eliminated instead." Erika changed the topic.

"Ehehehe..., it's nothing compared to what Xander and Rasyid have fought. Their opponent is a high-level magic-user who hasn't even lost yet."

"But it was still admirable."

"By the way, why did Rasyid suddenly become so strong? Even though at that time he even lost against me." Samuel lowered his head with sad eyes mixed with aggravation.

Erika was taken aback by Samuel's question so she reflexively avoided his gaze.

"Samuel... please forgive Rasyid if he is often not serious in fighting," Erika said quietly.

"Don't worry, I don't blame you, it's just that... Why wasn't he serious when he fought me back then?" A sad look appeared on his face. "Does that mean he pity me?!" Samuel's voice rose.

"It's not like that, he's just bounded by his old habits."

"You mean when he became a wild duelist?"

The former wild fighter is how at that time Rasyid wrote a self-description when writing down data on the first day of school. Erika was surprised at first but with a little explanation, she finally understood.

"Maybe he wasn't too excited because there wasn't any money to bet at that time. So his instincts weakened and over time changed. He's now more understanding of other people's feelings."

Samuel was confused and ruffled his hair.

"If that's what you say, I'll just believe it. Because you are the closest person to him right now." He smiled widely and left Erika sitting there alone.

"Maybe because I think about him too much, I become a liar like him." Erika looked up at the sky with a weak smile.

At the students' place.

"Your teacher is great, even the magic teacher was lost against him!" Astra was amazed by the greatness of the teacher.

"Oh sure, he's the greatest here." Gita shrugged his shoulders proudly.

"Mr. Rasyid was great from the start. Not only that, he didn't even seem to have a hard time against Mr. Lodo and Vicky's Brother. He is indeed the greatest!" Sophia followed Gita to boast of her teacher by crossing her arms.

"Perhaps this is what is called the power of kindness." Hakam smiled with his hand on his chest.

"Huh?! He just likes to intervene!" Stevent replied to Hakam's opinion.

"What vengeance do you have for that teacher?" Moka looked at Steven with disapproval.

Even so, Moka also has a grudge against that teacher. Her anger at that time was still inside her, this time she just held it in.

"But still, defeating Madu Haran is an amazing thing. What kind of training did he have to have that kind of power?" Astra was still praising the teacher.

"I heard he's a former wild duelist in the city. He fights for money, his property from the results of that fight right now can't even be counted on the fingers." Stevent explained with an annoyed face.

"A wild duelist? Is there anyone named Rasyid Londerik there? I, who have been working near where they fight, have never seen his name or face." Moka looked confused.

"Wait! You work there?!" Sophia was shocked.

"Hmmm(nods), I feel uncomfortable if I continue to trouble them (her foster family), so I work as a waitress at the cafe near there."

"Great...!"

"You are indeed an independent class president!"

Sophia and Gita praise Moka.

"But if he's not there, then where is he?" Astra thought hard.

"I will try to ask my subordinates to find information about him," Stevent answered optimistically.

Astra, who already knew what would happen if he looked for traces of the teacher, was immediately surprised and tried to stop that earl's intentions.

"You shouldn't need to, I once tried to get Dahlia to search for that person. But as a result, Dahlia fainted while trying to type in your teacher's name."

"Hah?!"

The five of them were shocked when they heard about the experience that Astra had done. However, of the five of them, only Gita's expression seemed to be made up.

-----

Above the square was a large ship floating. This ship is a private ship owned by President Niki Manalagi.

"So how?" I asked in front of 3 people who were sitting next to each other with hostile gazes.

The president seemed to have given up on taking care of them. His hands were used to support the heavy weight on his head.

"Okay, for first, let me start... Congratulations on your victory, Rasyid. And also according to my promise." Halim gave the flash disk to Nova by sliding it on the table. "Here's the blueprint you wanted."

"For Miss Nova, you also need to give Rasyid what he wants, right."

The president sitting between them showed politely while looking at Nova.

"Hmm(nods)."

PLACK PLACK

Nova clapped her hands.

Accidentally, two well-dressed people appeared and handed me a black briefcase.

I opened the case she give me.

There are documents about what happened at that time inside it. On the other side, there is a flash stick attached to it as if it had been prepared from the start.

I closed it again with a little satisfying feeling.

"I was expecting this to happen, but the promotion of the latest version of pageblug is also an advantage for me. I can say this is the price I have to pay to promote it." Halim looked at me bored.

I didn't reply, all I did when I was between them was silence. I don't want to get involved in their troubles. They only care for their own stomach. But that's how humans, even commoners if they were up here would surely do the same.

"So, I can say that this matter has been clear. I hope you don't make matters become worse." The president's eyes sharpened and shone in the darkness of the room.

"If you try things, you'll feel something you shouldn't be feeling." The president stood up with a cold smile.

He let the three of us off the ship.

Nova and I parted ways with Halim when we got off the ship.

"THE PRESIDENT WILL BE LEAVING THE SQUARE SOON. TO EVERYONE IN THE SQUARE, GIVE YOUR BEST RESPECT!" Bahar instructed all visitors without exception to respect the president who was preparing to leave.

All visitors including me and Nova give respect to that person.

The president's face looked back at us and left us.

"DONE!" Bahar ended.

Everyone went back to their normal activities.

Respecting the President is not something that must to done but a form of politeness. If we are in front of the president, we are already reckless, then what more in front of others.

"Then I'll go first." I bow to Nova.

She nodded and let me walk away.

I have to read these documents at home soon.

But before that...

My flat eyes met that girl's shining eyes.

"Mr. Rasyid, where have you been? All of 1sy year physical teacher and other students are waiting for you to celebrate your victory." Sophia smiled cheerfully at me.

There's nothing wrong with partying once in a while, right?

---

Not long after that, a stocky man approached that old lady from behind.

"What's wrong Doni?" Nova greeted without turning to look at her son.

"Looks like the 'PANGERAN' project remains safe." The man crossed his arms with a pleased expression.

"Don't worry, the Governor isn't really after that. After all, he doesn't know what the 'PANGERAN' project really is." Nova said it while walking opposite her son.

Without a word, Doni followed his mother's trace from behind and left the square.
