Episodes 136. Not Just a Brainrot Cowboy

In the midst of chaotic battle, the barren ruins of the school suddenly became engulfed in cold, falling snow.

With the change in weather at this place, I no longer felt any attacks coming my way.

Have they given up, or is it because…

I saw two girls who had just landed in front of me. They stared at me blankly as if waiting for someone's orders.

Near me also lay the lifeless body of the girl I once called my girlfriend.

Seeing her unresponsive face, I didn't know how to react. She died to protect me, but I didn't need that protection.

From the way she moved and stood in front of me, I concluded that she acted not on her own instincts, but under someone's command.

Is this what they have been talking about all this time?

That I had controlled Sophia, Dahlia, and Haran, causing severe damage to the school.

"Hey, can you both hear me?" I tried to check their condition.

"Hmm…" They both nodded expressionlessly.

Tch, so what they said was true.

But what made the three of them end up like this?!

I must free them immediately; otherwise, what happened to Dahlia will happen again.

Is this the effect of the CODE magic from back then?

"You two, stop it! Don't continue this snowstorm!" I tried to diffuse the situation, literally.

It would be bad if I kept freezing everyone here.

Shortly after I commanded them, the snow blowing out from them began to subside until it completely stopped.

The teachers hiding behind their magical shields began to deactivate their spells and peek towards where I stood.

They all looked confused about what had just happened. Faces asking 'why did you stop the snowstorm' were seen everywhere.

I began to glance at each of them as they silently watched me and the two girls beside me.

"All of you!" I raised my voice so everyone could hear me. "I'm giving you the chance to retreat from here! Do not bother me anymore! And I will promise to spare your lives if you do that! So, quickly leave!"

I didn't want to kill any more people. It was enough that I did it in the past. I even swore to someone.

But why am I repeating the same mistake?!

I suddenly realized that I had already bid farewell to my friend.

I no longer wanted to return to my dark past. The time when I killed humans like ants.

I was even ready to die to protect my students.

But the reality is, now near me, lies one of my students from this school, lifeless because of my actions.

I let myself be consumed by the flames of resentment. The resentment that comes from within me, hating my two brothers.

I let my inner self burn and made the three victims of my CODE magic like this.

Come on, leave! I don't want to kill more than this!

Step by step, they retreated from the ruins of the school. Those who were still alive began to consider the opportunity I had given them.

They didn't want to deal with me anymore. Seeing their friends killed easily made them fear me.

This is what they should feel, this is how they should see me… As an untouchable demon.

The school ruins began to empty, cars parked haphazardly started to turn around and leave, helicopters began to spin their blades and move away, planes hovering in the sky turned 180° and left me.

I could only watch them while panting, smiling a little.

"This is how it should be, I don't want to see them suffer anymore." I was grateful I didn't have to dirty my hands further.

But it seemed that was only like the second round of a boss rush battle.

*Clap! *Clap!

The sound of applause was heard near me.

A dark-skinned man in white clothes, black sunglasses, and a cowboy hat had not left these ruins.

If he was still here, it meant…

"Good job making them run, Rasyid." Tesi, along with Widodo, walked towards me, sarcastically praising me. "We didn't expect they would retreat just from your bullshit."

"It's that a bullshit? Just look at his action, fool!" Widodo mockingly corrected the reality.

"I know... They all ran not because I bullshitting them, but because they were all terrified of me."

I didn't know what to say to him, whether it was a lie or the truth.

I was too tired to think about it.

They all fled because they saw me massacre their friends, I already knew that!

No need to repeat it again!

"If you already know, then don't you feel guilty about this incident?" (Widodo)

He tried to corner me.

"Hah, the hell with your question! What do you want? You must want something from me, right?" From the start, I could see his trick. "Information related to Nova."

When I mentioned that name, his eyes widened a bit, indicating that my guess was correct.

"Oh, sharp eyes as ever…" He praised me, lifting his hat. "But unfortunately, I can't possibly get that information from you, right?"

"No matter what, we both will still die if we approach you." Tesi continued Widodo's word. "So seeking information about that old woman is no longer important."

"Hah, then what is your purpose for not leaving here?!" I didn't understand their intention in coming here.

First, they brought the teachers here, second, they let the teachers escape after some of them were killed, and now they were trying to face me without any apparent purpose.

And why when both of them talk each other. It's like they just talking nonsense.

"To deliver a death sentence, perhaps?"

"Hah?!"

I immediately gaped, not understanding the cowboy's words.

"A death sentence? Do you mean those five?" I suddenly recalled the dirty scheme they planned moments ago under the flyover.

"Hmm (nodding), exactly. They are the people I want to remove from the school's list." Removing his glasses and placing them on his collar, Widodo smiled smugly, fanning himself with his right hand as if he were hot.

Hearing that statement, I found it even harder to digest.

He was willing to create such a scenario, exploiting the chaos at the school just for this.

"And is Vicky one of them?!" Something flashed in my mind.

If this was a death sentence for them, then was Vicky also on that list?

When I asked about the man, Widodo's face turned grim, looking at Vicky's body covered in snow and lifeless.

"Unfortunately, he's not… But he was too confident and insisted on fighting you first! And because I didn't want my scheme to be exposed, I agreed and considered him the perfect piece to complete this scheme."

He said something insane, even inhumane.

I wanted to say, "You're crazy, where is your humanity?!", but given my current condition, those words would be meaningless.

"This also happened to your girl over there…" He glanced at Dahlia's lifeless body. "… She died in vain to save you, when you could even dodged very quickly by yourself."

"You could say, this is part of the improvisation. Widodo didn't actually want any other victims besides those five, but the situation suddenly changed, and everything turned chaotic like this." (Tesi)

I could only grin foolishly hearing that explanation.

This person is not just an ordinary rogue, he even creates scenarios where people act according to his wishes.

And by my observation, he really create this scenario in such a short time as the chaos happen.

And soon…

"CODE NAME: WDDSRY-"

When I was about to use CODE magic, Widodo cut me off with a slight mock.

"Do you want to kill me like the others? Do it!" Widodo spread his arms as if ready to be targeted anytime.

Why is he surrendering like that?!

And why is Tesi just standing by watching his friend about to be killed by me?!

Is this indeed part of his scenario?
