Episodes 76. Worried?

The next day, precisely in Nova's office, she called me for the needs of my Anitya.

"This is not a big issue..." she said casually behind her desk.

"Then? How?"

"You just set your Anitya back to default using the code magic..."

"Side effects?"

"There are no side effects if you use it on yourself..."

Side effects will always be something I inquire about whenever using CODE magic; I don't want that to happen again.

But it seems what this grandma said has some truth to it, things like that shouldn't affect oneself, right?

Upon her suggestion, I tried doing what she said.

"CODE NAME: KPMPR, RESTART TO DEFAULT!"

Immediately, I felt the flow of Anitya throughout my body being pulled into my heart and locked there.

It took about 10 seconds after absorption for the heart to reopen.

Inside me, I felt the flow of Anitya spreading normally again.

"Try it..." Seeing that, Nova advised me to do so.

"Hmm (nodding)..."

Shortly after, I lifted my right hand and turned its palm upwards.

BURN!

With a bit of concentration, a fireball appeared above my palm.

It seems like it truly worked; now my Anitya has returned to normal and doesn't seem to burden me when releasing it.

...

"Let's change the topic, Rasyid..."

"I heard... you were expelled from your school... Is that true?"

It seems like that news spread too fast, even reaching this grandma's ears.

But the information she received seems to have been modified to make me look like a loser who failed in his duties.

"No, I'm just free from my duty until those two families decide..." Hearing that, I just shook my head.

"I see... But no one knows how long they'll keep you, right?"

"I will wait, no matter how long it takes..." I bowed my head while holding my chest with my right palm.

"At least worry a little... If you continue like this, you won't find your answers..."

I don't know what this grandma means, but she must be providing raw information again, which means I have to process it to get the information I want.

"What do you really want, Nova?" I said without beating around the bush.

If she's already saying things like that, she must have a task to assign to me.

"If you're right that you're only free from your duty for a few days, then it means you still haven't finished your business at that school, right?"

Business?! What business, am I forgotten by something?

"You forget? Remember, the kidnappers are still out there, and there's one left who hasn't shown his face..." the grandma's tone sounded increasingly ominous.

Upon hearing what the grandma said, I realized it; there's still one businessman left undefeated, and that's him, Jainal Zaka Zaki Mahesa Jinail.

...

In the bustling city, I stood in the tallest building searching for his whereabouts based on the location given by Nova.

The cold wind blowing through my hair and clothes made my body temperature feel like being inside a refrigerator.

"They should have had their fighting exam yesterday, and today I should be watching them compete for the flag..."

A smile inadvertently formed at the corner of my mouth as I remembered that. But now, I have no choice; now I can only move behind the scenes.

"Seeing the cityscape from the top of the tallest building is truly amazing!" I shouted unconsciously.

...

Elsewhere, in the place where he used to work.

"How is it, can they do it?" (Xander)

"I don't know, but right now I prefer that class..." Pointing to his own team.

Currently, on the field, the 'Flag Hunt' match between students is about to begin.

As a reminder, each team will consist of 4 people and will be randomly paired with other year one class, then they must be able to capture the opponent's flag and immediately put it into the box at their base.

Players who lose their flag can still fight until the flag is put into their opponent's box.

When their flag is in the box, the player who lost the flag is considered eliminated.

Xander's supported team consists of 2 students from his class, 1 from physical class 5, and 1 from magic 3.

The supported team of his opponent consists of 1 from physical class 1, 2 from magic 1, and 1 from magic 4.

The battle is about to begin, and both teachers start placing bets.

"You won't win..." the prince said cunningly.

"Let's see..."

Shortly after, he asked again.

"By the way, about you and Anjani, you two don't seem close."

Xander wanted to say that he actually despises her childishness, but this is politics; he can't just blurt it out.

"Is that what you know?" Xander's body looked slightly sweaty with hesitation.

"Hmm (lowering 'his?' head slowly)... I just assumed, if you..." 'The man' seemed hesitant to say it, but 'he' seemed forced to continue 'his' words. "... Don't like her."

Right after that, Xander looked surprised by what the 'man' said; he didn't dare to oppose or confirm the 'man's words'.

As if he were in a life dilemma, if he answered 'You're wrong!', then he would show that he was struggling without love, but if he answered 'Yes.' Then he would end up as the heir, anyway, he was the most cherished child of his family, if he destroyed his family, then he would fall into excessive emotional turmoil.

"What's your choice... Xander?!" 'The man' showed 'his' face, when seen by the man, it was as if he was looking at the woman. 'The man'all this time was the woman. And she is someone Xander knows and loves.

"My choice... I don't know, Widya..."

He looked like a coward fleeing from his problems; his cunning smile from earlier seemed to disappear somewhere.

He doesn't know the answer...

"You're pathetic, make a choice quickly, then one of us will survive!"

Widya suddenly said something strange; the phrase 'one of us will survive' clearly confused Xander.

"What do you mean-"

Before finishing saying that, the woman quickly left.

"Remember, our bet here is still ongoing..."

She said that before completely disappearing like dust.

Shortly after the woman left, Anjani, who was walking to find him, finally met her fiancé.

"Finally, I found you, Xander!" She said quickly and immediately hugged his hand without shame in front of the other spectators.

...

On the other side, Erika confronted Bahar to ask why that man resigned.

"Why did he quit? Is it because of yesterday's incident?" Erika asked the big man sitting behind the desk.

"He didn't quit, just free from his duty..." He said without looking directly at the woman.

"For how long?"

"Until those two families forgive him maybe?"

Without further ado, the woman immediately left without a farewell and went out of the school.

Her current goal is to find that man.
