First Steps

In the evening we gathered in the dining room. A room with lots of tables and chairs. As at that time the cooking was cooked by his mother Alya. Some of my friends helped him, while I was in one of the rooms. I put down some of my luggage, then took Kellos, Gras, Lena, and Ethan around the inn.

Nothing is different from four years ago. Reminds me of my work at the company. Gras and Ethan look excited about this place.

“Wait, you guys have never been here?” many surprised.

“Not yet, we have only been to his house Alya who is next door,” replied Ethan.

There was a crackling of wood as we stepped. Indeed, this house is made of wood, including the floor. Pretty dim here. Lena looks scared. Kellos doesn't say much either. Tumben once, not as usual.

“Bukk!”

“Aaaa!”

Suddenly there was a sound of something falling from behind. We were surprised, especially Lena. It turned out to be a broom that fell off the shelf. The shelf looks familiar to me.

“Sorry, sorry..” says Ethan. Unknowingly he nudged the door of the shelf.

“You made us almost hangers,” reply Kellos.

We continued to tour. I don't know if the food is ready or not. We decided to go back when Gras caught our attention.

“I'm already very hungry, hehe..” he said.

“Alright, let's go back to the dining room,” reply.

Arriving there, the fragrant aroma has been smelled and appetizing. Gras immediately ran to occupy one of the seats. Very excited to see a lot of dishes on the table. His fingers were already writhing impatiently to pluck it.

“Propay yes, Gras. Wait for everyone to sit down first,” Ellie said.

In the end we all sat down. Alya's mother also came with us. Then Alya turned on the television located in the corner of the room.

“Why did you turn on the television?” many wonder.

“For we always get the latest news,” he replied.

“Moreover now there is a bustling rebellion everywhere,” Ellie said. I was surprised to hear that. “Really?”

Five years have passed since the founding of Knox Corp. Companies that change the history and development of technology. Now all researchers are intensively developing the “angit” technology. I who have worked there certainly feel a lot of new findings that are useful…

Beneficial to humans at least today. Moreover, there are no side effects from the development of the technology again for now. Activists believe that the exploitation of celestial energy will certainly make it unbalanced. When it's unbalanced, we already know what's going to happen next, right?

“Alright, everyone is ready. Time to eat!” lontar Gras's.

“Goodbye,” my words.

Dinner, while hearing the faint sound of television. I didn't take it too much. I fell asleep with the deliciousness of this food. Dining is interspersed with flowing chatter. Gras looks pretty good eating it.

“Uhuk! Uhuk!”

Gras choked and was busy looking for a glass. I quickly put out a glass near me. He immediately drank it.

“Eat slowly only. The food is still a lot,” said his mother Alya.

“Sorry. The end of the meal was very delicious, plus I was also very hungry.”

Not long after, there was a sound of news transition that seemed to be very serious.

“Sshh! Listen, listen!” alya.

“Next viewers, again there is a rebellion in a suburb in..”.

We listened to him carefully, while Gras seemed to ignore him. A slight sound of lava and plates sounded from him.

“Luckily the rebellion could soon subside. No fatalities were reported, while nine people were injured…

The emergence of several rebellions in various parts of the continent made President Knox Corp, speak up…

‘According to the results of research that has been widely circulated. No negative effects are produced either short-term or long-term. We hope that the entire community is not consumed by many fake news that spread lately…

Therefore, we consider this rebellion baseless. Based on the government's appeal, we were given the privilege of tackling the rebellion. We will not hesitate to warn anyone who commits a riot…

We will also crush the spreaders of fake news.’

That's what President Knox Corp said. Thus the latest news viewers across the continent. We will be back after the following pause.”

“The rebellion has started to happen, let alone they are doing it on behalf of activists similar to us.” muttered Alya thought.

“It is not impossible that they will crush that network of activists, right?” continued Leora. Just thought in my mind about it.

“If you feel it's the best option, I will continue to support you. May we always be given safety,” said Alya's mother.

“But our options can be very risky, are you sure?” ask Alya.

“Mom can't force you to stop, right?” smiling reply.

“Means we could have been in a position like those rebels.” muttered Ellie.

“To be precise, let alone ever voice it,” says Ethan.

“Most importantly, you do not harm many people. I strongly forbid you to spill blood, even on ‘lawan’…

Remember, they are human too. They defend what they think is right. Especially the officers who submit to their superiors. Put your emotions on those irresponsible rulers, not on ordinary people,” explained Alya's mother.

“We will remember very well the words Mother,” reply Alya.

“Then what will we do now?” ask Ellie.

“It has definitely prepared all the possibilities, right?” leora Sahut.

“I have an idea!” lontark.

“How about we share roles with each other? Ethan and Alya devise various plans, you can occasionally discuss them with us who are already martial arts capable. Stella would teach martial arts to female friends, while Zilei taught male ones…

Gras, 'cause you're good at groceries. I think you can concoct and make a slur. Either pepper water or whatever it is,” I explained.

“Then, how about you?” ask Ethan.

“Me and Ellie will design and make tools. I understand a little about that celestial energy tool,” I replied.

“Quite irony, we care about the sky but we ourselves use the energy of the sky,” Zilei quipped. “Once in a while for the good of the sky itself does not matter,” replies Ellie.

“M—Sorry.. A—A—I can't defend myself..” said Lena.

Physically, Lena will not be able to learn martial arts, coupled with her shy nature. It's gonna be really hard. I think I have another idea.

“Alright, you can pay attention to them or occasionally try them. During that time, we will think about creating a tool that can be useful for you,” reply me.

“I will help whatever I can if I can help,” said his mother Alya.

“I can use the kitchen here?” ask Gras.

“Oh of course, please. If the kitchen business seems like I will be a lot with you,” replied his mother Alya.

“Good, thank you, Aunt.”

“Alright, it's decided,” said Alya.

“Then, we continue tomorrow. It's already night. It's time to get ready for bed,” said her mother Alya smiling.

Tonight, a foothold for us to begin with…
