Building an Entertainment Business Kingdom In Another World
Episode 22 (MISUNDERSTANDING)
I was expecting it but I didn't expect that I would be ranked the lowest in school. Strange indeed, my theoretical ability became a general champion but the problem is my practical ability.
As a result, my class placement value is Theory A, Magic Ability D and Combat Ability D. It's only natural that this could happen because I can't use my own weapon. I don't know if this is some kind of discrimination for people who can develop their own weapons or the concept of equality without discrimination that people often say. The goal is for everyone to have access to education based on ability rather than wealth. But whatever the reason, the uniformity of competency standards that every student must have is something terrible.
The world of education is a reflection of people's lives. You will find many contradictions in the world of education. For example, the Stacia Academy, in your entrance examination seems to be selected based on the pure results of the exam, as in the case of, but during the admission ceremony, the lowest-scoring people in the school like me were in the back row while the highest-scoring students like Alicia Pendragon gave a speech in front of the podium. Is this not a form of discrimination?
Why not the other way around, why are the lowest scoring students like me on the podium?
Is not my effort as a child at least potentially the entire school is the most worthy of appreciation? Gifted people should be motivated by the efforts of the least talented people like me. That the motto of turning something impossible into possible is the most suitable thing pinned to a person like me.
Ah never mind, the more I complain too much the more I look whiny. Sitting behind also has its own benefits. I can sleep well. Really, falling asleep while doing things that I don't like turns out to be as good as this. Suddenly a woman woke me up.
“Syailendra, Syailendra, wake Syailendra”, The woman said.
“Iya why, am I in the afterlife?” , I replied.
I saw a beautiful white-haired woman who was trying to wake me up. His position was right next to me.
“Hah what are you saying? How can one fall asleep when the king gives a speech. Looks like your name is called raja”, he replied with Sinis
“What?”, I feel shocked to hear the answer.
Gawat, I sleep at a time like this. Shit, why am I the only one named Syailendra here. Someone, please get up and don't let King Arthur disturb my sleep.
The entire academy looked at me. I must have been labeled as the most troubled kid in the Academy, asleep when the King gave a speech. No, my youth is over.
“Syailendra, where is the son named Syailendra”, King Arthur said as he turned to the right and left.
“I'm King Arthur”, I replied and I got up from my seat.
“Why are you sitting in the back row?”, King Arthur asked in astonishment.
“Because I'm the least talented kid in the academy, hahaha”, I replied and laughed, but I saw the atmosphere around me quiet. The worst thing was that everyone looked at me hatefully. Damn, I will definitely be considered the most troubled child of the academy.
“Hahaha, seriously?” King Arthur said with a laugh as if he could not believe that I was sitting in the back row.
“My seat is proof that I am the child with the lowest grade placement test scores in school”
“How can the person who defeated my warrior be able to sit in the very back row?”
“There are three possibilities, the first possibility is because I skipped school for 7 years. The second possibility was because I had misdeveloped my fighting talent. Or the third possibility because this school does not fit in with my fight”
“Hahaha, you're a funny kid. Your intelligence is still not diminished. So I really hope for you”, King Arthur replied with a small laugh while shaking his head and he said, “Allah, whatever the result, your match and Alicia will still walk”
“Hah?”, the whole school said in shock to hear the words of King Arthur, including me. How could the most talented person in school be engaged to an untalented person like me.
I looked towards Alicia who was on the podium right next to King Arthur. His face flushed with a tear at the end of his eyelids, it seemed like his feelings were mixed between shame, wanting to cry and anger. Moreover, I was a rival who he hated the whole school the most. Whatever the reason I don't care. My youth is completely ruined now.
*****
The opening ceremony has finished, right now everyone in the academy is talking about the two of us. Not just me but Alicia. They assumed that I was not worthy of a match with Alicia. Honestly, I also consider it that way, especially if he is a spoiled child who likes to complain to his grandfather. Even now, I'm sure that he's been complaining to his grandfather about the matter between the two of us.
The time after the opening ceremony of the new school year is leisure time where all students are introduced to the school environment. All students line up based on their individual classes. I saw Sitha and Alicia seem familiar with her classmates, maybe they admired her because they were the two goddesses who inhabited the top rank of the entire school.
On the other hand everything is inversely proportional to what I feel. Everyone looked at me with hateful gazes as if they wanted to kill me. Oh no, I just want to die.
“Hei Syailendra's. Giillaa. You're really cool, hahaha How can you talk that casual with the king? Oh yes introduce me Hercules”, a tall and burly man said to me. He spoke very loudly and embraced me as if we were good friends. Hey who are you, I don't know. Go there.
I don't know if he's stupid or insane. When everyone was hostile towards me, he came to me and acted that we knew each other. Ah never mind, it's better this way than I have to live for three years without having any friends.
“Hah? didn't he seem an idiot to the point of daring to sleep in front of king”, A white-haired woman interjected.
“It is precisely the most epic part, hahaha. I'm Hercules. Who's namau?”, the man said and extended his hand to the woman.
Good Gori, from now on you are my friend. You really are a real Gorilla, easy to be friends with anyone.
“Natasha”, he welcomed Gori's hand.
“Oh means we're as classy as Tasha?”, I asked her.
“It's not clear. Are you really a fool”, Natasha said with a face that looks annoyed to me.
I didn't know what happened to him until he looked upset at me. Have I made a mistake.
“Means you are one of the least talented people in school, hahaha”, I said.
“Hah?”, Natasha said then looked at me with a murderous gaze.
“Hahaha, Andra you are a fool. Nothing has made a bad impression on a woman”, Gori said.
“Be quiet you are Gori (i don't want to be called a fool by a fool like you)”, I said.
‘Hahaha, sorry-maaf”, Gori apologized to me.
Right now the three of us are following the class group around the school to see what clubs we can join. Suddenly Sitha stood in front of me.
“Andra”, Sitha said as she lowered her head.
“You know him?”, Gori asked.
“Iya I know him”, I replied.
“Hm... Wow beautiful, introduce me Natasha”, Natasha said as she looked towards Sitha as if she greatly admired her.
“You are also beautiful, I Sitha” Sitha complimented Natasha again. I wonder why women are so happy to praise each other, even if the men who do it will be considered disgusting.
“The necklace is very beautiful. Sitha are you engaged”, Tanya Natasha curiously while looking at Sitha's necklace.
“Hm, me and Andra are engaged”, Sitha replied.
“WHAT??? YOU GUYS ARE ALREADY ENGAGED!!”, Gori and Natasha shouted so loudly that they made people look at us.
Damn, my life is going to get worse because of this misunderstanding. I didn't even know that giving a necklace to a woman was asking for an engagement. It is fitting that Grandpa Thompson said that I had become a real man even to the point of making Brother Brian jealous. This means the meaning of his words.
The entire male eye was headed towards me, as if they really wanted to kill me. How not, the two goddesses at this school are now my fiancee due to a misunderstanding.
