Episodes 138. Reunite

How long my thought was?

I forgot...

I don't remember where I left off.

All I know is that now I am walking to the place where my brother is.

From entering the door of the ruined building to climbing the stairs step by step.

My mind feels empty and blank, not because I'm being controlled. I just feel... Will this end everything?

Never mind, forget it...

Right now, the most important thing is to hit him so hard.

Step by step finally brought me to my destination, on the rooftop of this ruin, my brother waiting behind the rusty iron fence while looking at the scenery I had made.

"So, you arrive, my little brother. Rasyid." With an innocent grin, my brother, Rizki, turned and greeted me while leaning against the fence.

After a long time take... I see that smile again.

"Long time no talk, my big brother. Rizki!"

I couldn't say 'long time no see' because I lived with him. We just never spoke again.

"Did you come here to find your answer?"

"Yes! I came here to find the answer you always hid from me!" I shout with rage in my heart.

"If so..." Rizki activated his pageblug and lifted a coffin that looked quite heavy in his hand. "...Let's train for the second time, just like our fight back then."

Answering his challenge, I started to prepare my sword and took a fighting stance.

There was no small talk between us. Only the strong can get what they want, while the weak must stay silent in the corner.

"I will happily destroy you, Brother!"

He did not feel any fear or anger from my words. Instead, he made that smile again. The smile that I will always hate. The smile is full of optimism, a smile that can make any girl fall for him. But to me, that smile is made me sick.

Waiting for my incoming attack with that grin. He grips his coffin more tight and says, "Then! Let's see how far you go!"

....

On the other hand...

"We're here!" (Tasya)

The panting voices of the five people sounded alternately and rhythmically. They kept catching their breath while holding their knees from the exhaustion of walking and running.

"So- This is- The place where Mr. Rasyid is~?!" In a stuttering voice, Stevent tried to ask while holding his foggy glasses due to sweat.

"Yes, this is the place, according to what they told me." (Tasya)

Both Tasya and Samuel received messages from the school group about Rasyid's whereabouts. They were just not told why the other teachers went there. They only had one answer, but it was impossible to carry out.

"This place looks abandoned..." Hakam looked up at the nameplate above the gate which was already hard to read.

"I heard this place is very haunted!" Moka shivered terribly at the thought.

"No wonder, this school became the center of the 'Summer of Fire' phenomenon." Stevent scrunched his face, remembering how chaotic the incident was.

Even though at that time he and his family were protected by Anitya, recalling the screams that echoed throughout the place frightened him.

Hakam, whose family became victims of the incident, could only turn down his head while holding back fear and sadness.

On the other hand, Moka only saw that school as a haunted place without realizing that her eldest brother was the one who triggered the incident.

"This place is the silent witness of when people were forced to start using Anitya." (Gita)

Gita's words caught Tasya's attention, who didn't expect a student besides the royal family to know about this.

"You know quite a lot, huh?" Tasya asks with wide eyes and with a face that looks dumb.

"No, I'm just speculating." Gita tried to deflect his teacher's suspicion. "If Stevent said this place is the center of the incident, then this place is also the reason why people have to use Anitya to no longer be afraid of being killed by similar incidents."

"Hmm..." Tasya lowered her suspicion, signaling that Gita had once again managed to fool his teacher.

"By the way, Samuel, why have you been so quiet?" Tasya turned to Samuel, who was standing at the very back, not seeming to intend to say a word since they arrived.

"Eh?!" He was startled.

"Daydreaming?"

"No, it's just that I have a bad feeling."

"What do you see, Samuel?" Tasya immediately put on a serious face.

The woman knew about Samuel's eyes, sharp as an eagle. He was nicknamed the best sniper not just as a title.

"There are still people fighting at there!"

"Is it Rasyid?!"

"No, I can't quite confirm it, the snow covers their fight. I can only confirm there are 2 men and 2 women fighting in 2 teams."

"Are there any recognizable features?"

"I can only see a man with a cowboy hat! Is it Widodo?!"

"No doubt about it! No one wears such a strange hat when fighting." Tasya turned her gaze to the students. "All of you, if you want to join the fight, follow me!"

Without any fear of losing, Tasya led the group.

....

"Gyah!" Tesi burned her body, making herself immune to the incoming ice attack.

"Tesi, spin around while swinging your giant chakram! I will add dark and wind magic at the same time!"

With that command, Tesi gripped his Chakram tightly and spun like a propeller, forming a fiery top.

Seeing the direction of the attack, Haran flew up and changed her pageblug into a bow. Meanwhile, Sophia, who had a short attack range and couldn't fly, could only retreat.

If she were conscious, she might have jumped and slammed the muscular man directly.

Striking with wind attacks would only widen the attack area, and shooting ice needles at the burning man would be futile.

*SLASH!

Sophia was slashed by the hot flames, unable to dodge further.

If this continued, she would lose full consciousness and have to wait for Anitya to regenerate her.

Seeing his ally in danger, Haran tried to shoot her bow from the air where she was flying.

*BANG! *BANG! *BANG!

However, Widodo, who was a shooter, didn't let her off that easily.

He kept firing bullets, none of them hitting the mark.

Haran always managed to dodge every shot.

"She's too fast, if only I could hit her once, then she would slow down," Widodo complained while shooting bullets infused with dark magic.

"Tch, how troublesome, if this continues, she will manage to shoot Tesi and disrupt the waking up process of that girl."

Defeating both of them in a heavily KO-ed state meant making them experience temporary death, which meant they would return to normal, at least that's what they thought.

If they managed to destroy them until they were in pieces, Anitya should regenerate them in body and soul.

*BANG!

As Widodo struggled to hit the flying woman, a bullet shot towards the target, making Haran fall with a single trial shot.

Widodo was almost surprised by the shooting skill, but he immediately knew who had such sharp eyes.

"You came too, Samuel... And it looks like you're not alone?" Widodo glanced at Samuel crouching while holding his AWM(sniper rifle).

Around him were several people crouching to avoid being detected by the flying woman.
