Episodes 129. Shattered Bond

"Tesi, what are you doing here with him?" I asked the scar face, pretending to be calm despite my body trembling continuously.

The person standing next to him, if I'm not mistaken, is Widodo Surya, the 2nd-year physics teacher. When I saw him on the list of teachers, I had a feeling that this guy was very dangerous. I had seen him once right after leaving the hospital room.

When trying to answer my question, Tesi crossed his arms and made an expression as if to say, 'you're still asking?'

"Think about it, I met you once back then, along with Erika, of course... And at that moment, when we were talking one-on-one while walking down the residential street, that was when I started to feel it... That you were the person my friend often talked about."

"Friend?" Are they friends?

"As my friend just said..." Widodo finally spoke up with the gun still pointed at me. "...I often told him about the scariest person in the government, someone who could take a life with direct permission from the them..." Widodo told me how cruel I was, not even caring if I was made into a government dog.

He told this story for about 15 minutes. 

Who can focus on a story while a gun is pointed at them?!

I don't remember what he said, but I can conclude that Widodo is indeed right and must know my past, and also the Magic CODE.

"Do you understand?" Widodo smiled slightly, seeing my frightened expression.

Does he think I'm scared because he knows my secret? Or because I'm in a bad position? I don't know, but I'm sure he now feels that I'm cornered.

Come on, old man, I'm tired of hearing that story... I've heard it countless times from others who know my secret and then say it in front of me. I wanted to say that, but I couldn't because he would definitely get offended and shoot me.

Actually, I'm scared because I'm constantly forced to hear that story over and over, and in the same position. Not to mention having to listen while standing...

I'm exhausted...

"Hey, answer when someone asks you!" Tesi's thunderous voice brought me back to reality.

Annoyed, Tesi immediately activated his pageblug, which took the form of a giant chakram and set it on fire to intimidate me.

Alright... Answering can't hurt, right?

"What are you actually want to know?" I really don't understand what they're talking about.

"Huh?" They both made the same confused expression.

"..." Widodo didn't know what to say, but from my answer, he loosened his grip on the gun.

"Let me put it this way, you know my past, right? So what do you want?"

To the point as usual, don't waste time.

Upon hearing my answer, Tesi frowned slightly, dissatisfied with my response.

Bang

On the other hand, Widodo, who had just loosened his grip, tightened it again and pulled the trigger.

He wasn't just dissatisfied. Anger, frustration, and disappointment all merged into his emotions, which he channeled into every action of pulling the trigger.

"What we want you say?! You entered this school using insider connections, then you messed up the ranking system, you caused many teachers to fight, you made the people who has power pay more attention to the school, you involved the lives of students!" His voice, loud and full of anger and tears, became one. "...And now, you're using your godly fuck toys to destroy the entire school along with hundreds of innocent students?!" This man wasn't just angry; he genuinely wouldn't hesitate to kill me on the spot, but for some reason, he had to hold back with a heavy heart.

"Huh?"

When I heard Widodo's explanation, I couldn't say much. Of all the places I've visited, that school was the only one I didn't want to destroy. It's impossible if it was me who did it.

Wait, did he say toys?

"What do you mean by your last sentence, Widodo?"

I tried to ask, even though it might lead to my death. This was better than staying in the dark.

Widodo tried to take a deep breath to calm down, trying to control his emotions so he wouldn't shoot me just out of anger.

"You know, Dahlia, Sophia, and Haran went insane and destroyed the entire school. And the cause of that is..." Widodo lowered his gun and pointed at me. "...You, Rasyid Londerik." His voice was empty and echoed, as if he wanted to tear me apart alive.

"Forget why, but it seems we need to end this soon..." Tesi suddenly cut off the conversation, preventing me from asking further.

Damn, I'm still in the dark.

What does he mean by "we"? Why is he looking at the gate and the sky alternately?

I have a bad feeling.

Shortly after, many cars, helicopters, and small planes flew towards me. They all came from the gate heading here at speeds that even violated Ningru City's regulations.

200km/h? Do they really want me dead?

The cars stopped behind Widodo and Tesi without being parked, helicopters landed carelessly on the rubble, and planes were left hovering in the air without pilots. Everyone inside the vehicles came out one by one and showed their faces.

All those familiar faces had changed, from full of happiness and self-indulgence to faces full of anger and gloom merged into one. They all just wanted me dead.

"The teachers of Podoagung School united to perish me?" I tried to stay calm for now; they were all the best people in the Nusantara, if I trembled even a little, I would be destroyed.

Everyone I thought has accepted me has now turned into my enemies.

Their expressions also changed after seeing the pile of body parts scattered from my fight with SANGKUNI. They must think I killed them for fun.

Explaining something like this to them would never go well; they were all already consumed by the fire of anger and wrath.

So, all I could do was~

I spread my arms as if challenging them all.

"Come and face me!"

This is going to end badly.

.......

At Podoagung School, now turned to rubble, a hand emerged from the debris, forcing its body out.

"Ugh...!"

A long-haired student named Gita managed to survive the disaster.

"Where is this?"

Gita didn't recognize the place; his school had now turned into a place that looked like it had been hit by a volcanic eruption.

"Need to find the others..."

My friends must be around here.

No time to contact the Governor; for me, they are more valuable than anything else.
