Futuristic Fantasy: The Far Future

Acceptance and Congratulations

"Hm..?"

His eyes just opened. He saw the room was warm. Not only warm, but very comfortable.

"Unstable emotions, fainting on the spot. What exactly are you doing?"

"You..people don't ram—, why are you helping me?"

"There's nothing but you're gonna tell the enemy this place"

"What's going on?"

"Don't ask me. I only know why you fainted after checking a few things when you were unconscious"

Keil still felt pain in his head. He forgot a lot of things. But he still remembered that man. Many memories are blurred.

"Heil"

Keil spoke unconsciously.

"Heil? Your name is Keil, isn't it?"

That guy doesn't understand what Keil means. He glanced at his right hand, pressing a button on an object that was coiled there.

"A quarter of a night has passed. You better rest to calm your soul. Looks like you're having a little memory forget. I don't know why you still remember me"

The person continued, "I hope not to choose the wrong move as it happened before. Don't disappoint your teacher. Tomorrow, we start what we have to do".

"I.someone, student? You.guruku?"

"Rest. And, don't disappoint me".

Hm.maybe there's some good in this.

Keil, what's the little amnesia he's been through. Something is wrong with his attitude.

Never mind. I was just doing my job and my wish.

***

Teacher, student, unfriendly person. Heil, mom, village. Who me?

Keil?

Who her? My herself?

I felt a tightness squeezing my chest.

(Keil)

Who's that?!

(Keil?)

WHO'S THERE!!!

What's...

This...

(Run! The invaders of Tekno have come! The cruel Westerners are more than evil spirits! Save yourself!)

(Keil, be here until mom comes back, don't come out no matter what?)

(But, mother.Will Keil be abandoned?)

(Keil, do you doubt your mother? Didn't you say you would protect? Just trust me this time, don't get out of this hay until you get back?)

(All right.).

(Keil, you're not a kid anymore either. Keil, wouldn't Keil be an adult and make a mother proud? Remove your tears, the tears of the man are precious)

(Mother! Don't leave me alone! Keil's afraid.).

Is that Keil, me?

Me, no! I'm not that guy. That must be wrong!

(HEY..HEY..MISERABLE VILLAGERS, DON'T MOVE A BIT, OR THIS CHILD WILL GET HURT! right it~ handsome young man?)

(Let go! You rotten man! RUN AWAY, DON'T MIND ME.).

Nah! Nah! Who'sis that?

(CHAIRMAN? WHY DON'T YOU CATCH PEOPLE WHO MIGHT BE DANGEROUS?)

(Cih, Alright. EVERYONE, FOR THE SURVIVORS, GATHERED IN A CIRCLE IN FRONT OF ME. I WILL GUARANTEE THE SAFETY OF ANYONE WHO OBEYS MY ORDERS!)

(Well, that's the new Chairman I love~)

(Tian, shut up, or I'll kill you!)

(Alright, my dear Chairman~)

Whatisthis? Whatisthis? WHATISIT?

Nah! Nah! NAY!

I'm not Keil!

_I..L'm..L'M..WILL Reply TO KEBIAdaban KALIAN!_

Whahuh? Me, what are you saying!

It's a NIGHTMARE!

***

"Well.hah.hah..I'm not Keil!"

Keil seemed to have survived the drowning. His disordered breath mixed with a little relief. It was like jumping from his sleep and now he is in a sitting position with straight legs that form the letter 'O'.

"Well, you're going through a tough psyche. And, you deny yourself. Make peace with your soul and accept what happens. I'm not a psychologist so I can heal you. Duh, what do I believe in the Boss?"

I have to be patient. Perhaps more valuable gold requires a longer process.

"Keil, your name is Keil. Keil is you. And, you just had a bad thing. You have to accept the reality that has befallen you. Accept it, then you'll calm down. And, don't run or you'll get further and further screwed up"

Is it true that this is how to deal with mild psychosis? I'm sorry I missed so many psychiatric classes.

"Me, Keil? That nightmare...is, real?"

"You're really Keil"

Good, you're starting to take it!

"Those nightmares are memories you forget. Breathe in the air deeply and let go. Do it three times"

Is this gonna work? I once answered the same question, then, the result...

"Oh"

Wasn't I wrong, when I answered like this? Try other ways—

Keil suddenly cried. His crying was slow. His hands cover his face.

"You..crying?"

"Mother, Heil, Jev, Tagh, Hin, Nam, Laz, All the villagers, I'm sorry I couldn't do anything to save you. Forgive me for wanting to kill myself to relinquish the responsibility of avenging their savagery, the Techno people of the West who are more ruthless than evil spirits. But, I really can't do anything. I wanted to tear them apart and cut their fingers, but I was very weak. I even just watched you guys being persecuted and wiped away like dust that quickly disappeared. I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I'm Keil, vowing to avenge you. I will do it even if I no longer have arms, legs, or only half of my limbs. While my life is still in my body"

Oh, the deep words of a man who has just grown up. What an interesting young man. I think I'm starting to see the sparkle.

"really?"

"You—"

"—forgive me. I'm really sorry and grateful. I thought ill of you, and you saved me. I will return the favor for what happened. What am I supposed to do? I don't mind and would be happy if I made you a teacher"

"Don't think I am. You don't have to return any favors. I just want you to be my student and you don't disappoint me. That's more than enough"

"What won't disappoint you?"

That guy, a guy who would teach Keil a lot of things, he tapped Keil's head a little hard —menjitak—.

"Aw, it hurts.."

"You should add to your beginning or end with the word 'teacher'. Forget it, that's a big lesson. There's still a quarter of a night, rest again for your final recovery. Oh, I forgot, there's only one thing that won't disappoint me, be the greatest student, the one who'll turn this world into a heaven without war and live as it should"

"All right, teacher"
