Book One: Alpha World

Eps 6's.New Friends II

Rais and I walked out of the room at the same time. As agreed, I'll help Rais apologize to Gina and Ella before dinner. Both are in their rooms. I knocked on the door of the room.

"What's wrong?" Ella opened the door. His hand carried a small fan that was wagged. His face looks sweaty. The air around us was very hot tonight.

"Eh, um, this is Rais trying to apologize for the trouble this afternoon." I pointed at Rais who looked nervous.

"Ehm, yes, I'm sorry for taking your mirrors out this afternoon. Please forgive me!"

"No..!" Gina appeared to herself.

"Lho, why?" Rais confusion.

"We don't want to forgive you before you buy us both a special dinner package at the cafeteria tonight. If you don't want us not to forgive you."

"T..But I don't have much money." Rais.

"As for you, if you want us to forgive, do what we want first." Ella supports.

They both laughed giggling. Like howling the masters are fierce to their assistants in soap operas, I thought.

"All right, okay, I'll buy you dinner later." Rais raised his hand, giving up.

Replace the two of them who clenched their hands, rejoicing. I just shook my head to see their behavior. Afterwards, Rais and I sat on the sofa. We talked to each other very closely. That entak discusses addresses, hobbies, or trivial things such as the latest game development that is booming.

Like Rais who comes from housing K, Khaldun, housing in the middle of the desert. Also Ella from O housing, stands for Osman one of the big housing in Turkey. Lastly, Gina comes from N housing, Nagoya, housing in Japan.

“Lian, did you see my silver box on top of that closet?” Rais pointed at one of the cabinets on the edge of the room. His face looks panicked.

“No.” I said shaking my head. Rais is panicking.

“What is it like?” Tanya Gina was curious.

“It's okay.” Rais shook his head, his face clearly indicating that he was lying.

I stood up, looking around the closet. My eyes looked fixedly at the cupboard Rais pointed at. Then my gaze shifted towards the right, there was a table beside him. Clearly visible silvery box under the table.Entah my eyes are observant or Rais whose eyes are myopic.

“This you mean?” I took the box and showed it to Rais.

“Ahh, yes, that's what I'm looking for.” His face began to calm down.Rais took the box from my hand. He opened it, and I saw the contents too.

Empty, that's what's inside. Rais looks restless again, he flips back his silver box.

“Where is it?” He shook it slowly.

“What's the contents anyway? Until the panic.” Gina asked in a curious tone. Her hands that were originally beside the sofa lifted up supporting her chin. Rais pointed at the sofa that Gina occupied tremblingly.

“I..it.” He said slowly.

“What the hell is Rais, I just want to know the contents of that box.” Gina pointed back at the silver box that Rais had brought.

“Not.no, that's under your seat!” Rais raised his voice. My eyes immediately stared fixedly at something on Gina's sofa. Gina shifted her sitting position, she looked at her sofa. A silver cockroach as big as a salak seed dwells right in Gina's former seat.

“Aaaaah!!” Gina and Ella reflexively jump together and move away from the sofa. Rais also immediately caught the silver cockroach and kept it in the original silver box. He smiled wickedly.

“Raaiiis!!” Gina nagged long.

@-@-@-@-@

Few minutes after ‘mouth war’ occurred.

"Click..."

The door opened and a girl came in. His red-flamed clothes came to our attention.

"Hello.." Sweepings.

The air around us was getting hotter and the fan Ella was carrying suddenly let out a fire.

Ella who took him in a panic and threw him.

"Aaa, fire..fire!" Gina screams as Ella throws her burning fan into the carpet below.

Rais sees it relaxing and presses a button on his watch. Rais stretched out his hand which let out a cold chill.

The burning fan instantly went out and froze.

"I'm sorry, I haven't turned off my 'natural energy." The woman in front of the door pressed a button on her watch. Slowly the air temperature began to rise to normal.

'Natural energy' is energy that comes from one's body. The power possessed by the element of nature. Alpha members who have this ability can bring out their abilities when using a clock that is the key to unlocking power in their bodies.

The energy that is generated according to one's genes, traits, and life. Only about ten percent of humans could expend this natural energy. The rest did not have the ability like Rais or the girls earlier.

"Include me, my name is Asuza, Rin 25341, from M. Hello to you."

Gina and Ella still looked fearfully at Asuza who had just let out a fire. I who was curious immediately introduced myself.So did Rais who immediately shook his hand.

It was only after we met Gina and Ella introduced themselves. Their faces looked scared. They don't know that yet.

Unlike me, Mama is a user of ice, just like Rais. Mama showed me her skills in the room yesterday. So I'm not too surprised to see it.

Asuza immediately moved into the room after we chatted for a while on the sofa. Gina and Ella who finally understood the power of Asuza began to get used to it and drove Asuza to the room while having a long chat.

I just hope they don't get more familiar and eventually Asuza contracts the nature of Gina and Ella.

Asuza tidied up his belongings in the room with the help of Gina and Ella. Meanwhile, Rais and I immediately went to the dining room for dinner.

We took a teleportation elevator to go to the dining room. There have been many children of our age in long queues taking food rations.

Me and Rais were immediately standing in line behind them. Sometimes Rais greets his acquaintances and introduces me. I have a lot of friends because of Rais. I'm really grateful to him.

Now it's our turn to get the rations.I take the feeding container. Then the rice, vegetables, and side dishes were taken by the waiter. Of course they are from the Lower Hand district.

The residents of the Lower Hand district did not only work in his district. Most of them are still in their own districts.

Those outside their districts became servants, builders, and other subordinate occupations. While those who live in their districts are food providers and producers of goods ‘normal’.

After Rais and I finished our meal, we sat down at one of the four-person tables in the corner of the dining room.

A silvery-haired man was already sitting on one of the chairs. He was seen with his pet cat. Rais greeted him and introduced myself.

His name is Cera, Rin 32387. He is an animal user. It means he can control animals. I looked at it carefully.

He can talk to animals. Seen from his ability to recognize the wishes of his pet cat.

We sat down and ate with him. Sometimes Rais invites Cera to chat, but because he is quiet we finally continue to eat without speaking a word.

My eyes glare around. Various cool-dressed people immediately caught my attention.

One of them is a hairy round hat. He wears army-like clothes but his pink color makes him a good fit for the woman.

There was also a man who carried a long sword in the

his shoulders. He wears a short brownish robe. Like in Chinese movies, I thought.

I saw the queue getting longer.My eyes saw everyone in the queue. Naturally, because Alpha members come from various places in the world.

Until my eyes stopped on the three women in the middle of the queue. I nudged Rais' arm. Whisper him a threat.

"Sorry Cera, we'd like to continue eating in our room." I say goodbye to him while standing.Rais follows me behind. He tried to hide from three women in the queue just now.

Two of the men were seen tracing the dining room. Their views examined the tables one by one.

None other than Gina, Ella, and Asuza. I remember that Gina and Ella asked for a special meal package to accept Rais' apology. Since Rais didn't have the money yet, we immediately ran away through the teleportation elevator to our room. We walked out of the dining room.

"Rise!!Lian!!Here..!" A scream that shocked us. Our faces instantly turned deathly pale. Because it was none other than Gina's voice. They saw us.

"Oh, this is bad." Rais called out slowly.

We walked slowly towards Gina, Ella, and Asuza. Our worries are real.

"Where are you going?" Gina asked flatly.

"Eh.we, we're going to the room. We're going to continue eating there." I spoke nervously.

"I.iya, we want to eat in a room, in. here it's crowded."Rais was even more nervous.

"Yes there. You eat in your room. There was a new resident in our room. His face is so scary. He was ushered in by a resident of Lower Hand district. They're both our age. You guys hang out there!"

We nodded simultaneously. Huh, it's good that Gina and Ella don't remember the terms of the apology.

"The residents of Lower Hand district were also looking for you Zam. He said he wanted to send a message."

I immediately nodded despite the astonishment. What a message yes.
