Episodes 102. A Servant who Take a Lead Pt.8

Point of View: Hakam Surya

"HWAAGGGGHHHH!"

I free-fall from the sky and...

Thud!

I land not so smoothly.

My head hits the hard ceramic, and I must be hallucinating as the world seems to vibrate and shake.

"Are you okay, Hakam?"

Someone calls out, their voice sounding concerned.

"I-I'm fine..."

Even a blind person could tell I'm not okay right now. Falling from a height and landing headfirst. Who would be okay after that?

"Hah, can even joke." The voice laughs, melodious in my ears. "Come on, let me help you!"

The voice extends its hand to me.

Still felt dizzy, the world around me still spinning.

Like a drunk person, I try to grab the extended hand and...

Slip!

I lose my footing.

Instead of holding the hand, I end up grabbing their thigh.

"Huh?!" The sound of surprise echoes around me. I sense there are many voices around.

At that moment, my vision starts to clear, and I see a beautiful woman with blonde hair blushing.

My eyes travel from her face down to her thigh, and then I realize I'm touching something I shouldn't.

"Mi-Miss Fredrica, I'm s-sorry..." I feign ignorance, trying to apologize.

From the events I've seen, this is the scene where the main character gets lucky. And soon, I'll probably be launched into the seventh heaven by her kicking or hitting me.

At least, before I fly, I can feel it.

The softness of something I want to hold...

...

...

...

Wait, why am I suddenly acting lecherous? Is this the power of touching something forbidden, or feeling the protagonist's luck from a show?

Straighten your mind, Hakam! I'm an experienced servant, not a lecherous youth.

Taking a deep breath, I hope that trait disappears soon.

But it doesn't. I still feel it.

"Hakam..." The woman's voice sounds annoyed.

"W-what, ma'am?"

"Can you let go of my thigh, please?"

"Uh, sure..." I release my grip on her thigh. "See? Easy, right?"

At that moment, I realize. My earlier demeanor hasn't disappeared just because I let go of her thigh.

Damn...

I'm embarrassed to death, especially with people watching.

Wait?! People?!

I immediately look around. My eyes scan the surroundings, and I see many students from Physics Class 5 and Physics Class 4.

Why are they here?

And where's my classmate who was knocked out earlier?

"Done looking around?" Miss Fredrica suddenly asks me, her smile seems forced, and even from her smile alone, I can feel her eagerness to drop it and turn it into a terrifying glare.

"Y-yes... By the way, where are the others" I try to ask, not out of concern or curiosity, but to quickly escape this embarrassing situation.

"Maybe the others have left you behind, or more accurately, the teleportation system malfunctioned, and you ended up here."

"Uh, um...."

I want to leave immediately.

"By the way, you're a student from Mr. Rasyid's class, right?"

Miss Fredrica suddenly asks me? And why does she refer to my class by Mr. Rasyid's name?

I already know where this conversation is going. She seems to hate Mr. Rasyid so much that I can feel her terrifying aura hidden behind that smile.

"Y-yes..."

Just agree, Mr. Rasyid will probably be the one in trouble anyway.

"Pervert..." She smiles.

"Uh..."

"You're pervert, just like Mr. Rasyid."

"Huh?!"

What is this, this is a deeply hurtful insult to me.

"Can you stand?"

"Y-yes." I stand up, not knowing what she's going to do next.

"Turn around."

"(Turn around)"

I sense an attack is coming.

I feel a gathering of wind behind me.

And it's not just that, there's also black smoke billowing out and passing through my head.

What's going to happen, at least I've surrendered.

"STUDENT OF THE PERVERT TEACHER ARE PERVERT TOO!"

BAM!

I'm thrown to the seventh sky.

Looks like it's going to take some time to land. And it's definitely not going to be a smooth landing.

Point of View: Moka Mahama

I, Stevent, and 4 other teams are preparing in place.

From the facing direction of the throne, my two teams and I are on its right, and Stevent and his two teams are on its left.

We're all waiting for Hakam and the others.

But...

It's been quite a while, I can't even sense their arrival.

Where are they?

I can't even hear footsteps approaching.

TAK... TAK... TAK...

I hear it!

Footsteps coming towards the throne room, but why does it feel so odd.

The footsteps walk without any accompanying sounds of other footsteps. It sounds solitary.

Could it be?!

Inside me, I immediately think of many bad things happening to them on their way here.

Someone walks and reveals their shadow covering the outside light. The shadow grows larger and larger until it reveals its true form.

A female student stands alone there.

A student?! It's Sophia!

What is she doing alone in the throne room?! Where are the others?

I immediately glance at all the students from the opposing class. Their fearful expressions turn into joyful grins.

Turns out...

I don't need to explain what happened.

But I have to say it.

They fell into a trap, leaving only Sophia alone-

Suddenly, there are footsteps chasing into the throne room.

Rizal?!

He arrives with a hurried face, drenched in sweat. His breath becomes irregular, and his eyes glare sharply at Sophia. He seems like he wants to scold, reprimand, and even scream at her. But his courage seems to falter because of something.

So, this is how it ends, huh?

I don't know what step to take next.

Now the command is divided after Hakam was knocked out.

Between me, Stevent, and Sophia...

Who will take the first step to attack?

Wait, where's Gita?

Point of View: Luna Gita Lestari

I walk around the rooftop of the palace. It's not like I'm skipping exams or anything.

I just have to complete my mission.

Right now, there's an incoming call on my communicator. So I have to pick it up.

"Well, well... I didn't expect something like this to happen." I look up at the sky, right towards the transparent room used by our opponents to detect our movements in the palace garden earlier.

"******"

"I'm ready to take action!"

I respond to my leader's request firmly and quietly.

Immediately, I activate my pageblug and aim my assault rifle at the transparent room.

BANG BANG BANG!

Three shots ring out with just one pull of the trigger.

CRACK! CRACK! CRACK!

The three bullets hit the core of the transparent room. Shortly after, a red flame emerges from inside and engulfs the entire room.

"In a little while, that thing will fall. I better hurry back to my team." I turn around and walk calmly towards my intended destination.

"Hopefully, no one is knocked out right now, because the system must be malfunctioning temporarily."

Because if someone is knocked out now, they'll definitely be teleported to an unintended location.

At least, 5 minutes after the shot. If someone is knocked out in less time than that, they'll be taken like I just said.

BOOM!

Suddenly, I see something shoot up into the air like a rocket.

"What's that?! Who knows, probably just students clashing their Anitya powers."

Don't think about it, just keep walking and return to my goal.
