Episodes 105. This is World?

Me and my students are waiting in the classroom. There we do what we should do, which is...

Waiting...

"Damn, isn't there anything I can do in this spare time?" I complained.

This is a trait that I shouldn't show to my students, but waiting all this time really isn't something I can do.

I usually play on my phone during downtime, but it makes me feel like it's not right. Playing on my phone while my students are in front of me creates an awkward atmosphere.

Is there something stirring within me?

Maybe!

I've experienced a lot this week.

Come to think of it, that's true, isn't it? I didn't expect so many things to happen in just one week.

From initially becoming the head of the guard for Princess Tyas Anjani until here, it took a lot of journeys.

"Quite a lot has happened, huh? For the first time, I really feel the magnitude of this event..."

My eyes shifted sideways, from my seat here, I could see the sun starting to tire and preparing to hand over its shift to the moon.

My right hand clenched my tired cheek, my eyes started to blink slowly with the passage of time, and with the gentle breeze blowing, I slowly lost consciousness and began to be taken into the world of fiction or commonly known as the dream world.

"ZZZ"

Wait?

Am I snoring?

But how could that be?

Have I fallen too deep even to ignore everything around me?

"Sir..."

There's a voice calling me?

"Mr. Rasyid..."

"Mr. Rasyid..."

The voice multiplied into two people.

"Mr. Rasyid!"

"Mr. Rasyid?"

"Mr. Rasyid?!"

The number of voices grew more.

I need to break free from this dream world immediately.

BRAK! BRAK! BRAK!

"I can't?!" I can't break out of my dream.

"But why?"

Am I too afraid of reality?

That can't be, I've always been oblivious to the world.

Then why is this happening?!

There must be an explanation!

Shortly after, I was transported to a place filled with stones.

There were 6 pillars standing around the stones. There were about 4 pillars on fire, and uniquely, each pillar formed an expression.

However, because this place is like a hologram, each end of the pillars is censored and blurred.

"What is this?"

I tried to look around the pillars standing in my midst.

There's a creepy and gloomy feeling just by looking at these objects standing there.

"They all seem to be... watching me..." I said, trying to calm my goosebumps.

The horror atmosphere continued with every gaze from those pillars.

BUMP!

I accidentally bumped into something.

"Huh?"

Something was placed in the middle of those pillars. Upon closer inspection, the object looked like a person.

But when I tried to examine it closely.

"No, he's not human..."

He doesn't look like it, his posture is already too destroyed to be honestly observed.

However, at that moment, I began to realize.

Realize that what I observed was a mistake.

A mistake big enough.

Big because of not realizing it sooner.

Realizing that the person in front of me is the one I've been looking for.

"Nazrul... Aji..." My mouth unconsciously spoke his name.

A white light immediately covered my entire field of vision and sucked me out.

SPLASH! "BRRR!"

A bucket of water was poured over my head.

"Gyah! Cold!"

I immediately started shivering.

My teeth chattered, my hands and feet trembled, and my body was completely soaked by the water.

When my eyes managed to see what was in front of me, I saw many students standing in front of me and surrounding my desk.

Their faces were a mix of laughter, annoyance, and bewilderment. They didn't know how to respond to me, who had fallen asleep.

"W-what?" I asked with a foolish look.

Moka, with her blank face, walked towards me while showing her phone screen. The screen showed a clock that read half past six.

"Sir, you fell asleep and almost got left behind by your students." (Moka)

"Left behind?"

"Yes, left behind." Her tone was somewhat harsh and frightening.

"Ah... Is that so? So you were very worried about me that you were willing to wait here? But luckily you didn't leave me..."

Smile while you can.

"Of course, we wouldn't leave you behind, we need your fingerprint to see our exam results." Moka smiled but looked scary. "We've tried various ways to get your fingerprint, from 'dragging you' to 'trying to cut your finger', but as you can see now. None of them worked."

"What is your finger made of?" Stevent, who was standing next to me, continued Moka's words.

"Uh..."

They're questioning my strength is something I should avoid. It won't be good if they keep questioning it.

"This is just reflexive strength, with quick reflexes, even in sleep. I won't be easily attacked by opponents."

Their faces showed surprise and awe. Seems like I misspoke... again.

"You with reflexive strength? Is that a lie?" Hakam also joined in exposing the strength.

I better just do what they want.

"Alright, alright... No need to ask further... I'll just open the results."

With a heavy heart, I walked to the front of the blackboard and touched the digital screen with my palm.

TING!

The seemingly turned-off board instantly emitted green waves spreading like calm water being rippled from above.

The screen opened and immediately showed many class names and class rank lists. Unfortunately, the names were very small, so they had to see it up close.

From a normal perspective, it might be difficult to see. But with a board as big as this, it's impossible for them not to find it.

"Where's my grade?"

"Ah, where's mine?"

"Am I in the top 10?"

"I hope at least in the top 100!"

"I hope I don't embarrass my family."

They immediately swarmed the board and forgot about my earlier situation.

It's okay, this is even better.

From this teacher's desk, I saw my students looking for their names on the board with foolish and sly smiles.

Actually, I could just press a button and make their names in this class glow and easy to find.

But I stayed silent, it's amusing to see them jostling like they're queuing for free food just to find their grades.

It seems like the morality of my class has been shattered because of me?

Or is there another meaning?

.......

In a dark place. About 5 people are talking secretly there.

"So, can we destroy him with this?" (Voice 1)

"Of course, the rumors keep spreading like wind." (Voice 2)

"If this is what you want? You should stop here! He's not someone you should make an enemy of." (Voice 3)

"He obviously knows that, he's ready for this!" (Voice 4)

"That person is indeed strong, but everyone has weaknesses! Let's make him fall even more! If not, he'll continue to be the center of attention, and we'll be more threatened here." (Voice 5)

The voices continue to talk badly about the teacher.

.......

On the other side, a woman is walking leisurely enjoying the school environment followed by 5 people behind her.

Even though from a distance, she already felt the bad vibes.

"So this is it, huh? The teachers' true nature in this school..." She said, staring sharply ahead.

She listened to the hidden conversation from afar.
