I Want A Normal Life: No Romance
#26 - Welcome to Semster 2!
...
...
...
“Uh... Where is this???”
“Eh?!”
“Why can I be here?”
I remember clearly that last night I slept under the toll bridge alone, as I recall there was no one around me either.
Now, why did I suddenly wake up in the classroom? I even woke up in the chair where I was sitting.
“Ke-where else?”
I also woke up in that room alone, the tables and chairs neatly arranged exactly like a classroom.
“Really too! My phone!”
I picked up my phone to call the others in my pants pocket, but there was no phone in my pants pocket, only a wallet, so I just took my wallet.
“Eh?”
Part of my wallet is gone, all the money sheets, library membership cards, records, ATM cards, all that's left is one...
“This... student card..”.
“Why are only my student cards available?”
“This is weird... actually this is my class isn't it, anyway?”
But it didn't seem like it was in my class, even though my position was getting up in the chair where I was sitting in class, and the atmosphere of the room was like my class, class X-5. It's not an X-5 classroom, I'm sure it's, it also looks a little dark, there's only one source of lighting, that's from the outside.
“Uhh... hot, yes..”.
I stood up, then stepped out.
I saw the light switch next to the open door.
“Eh?”
It turned out that the door was not open, there were no doors covering the access road to this class.
TEK
TEK
TEK
TEK
I also tried to turn the switch on, but it didn't work at all.
“Actually what is this place?”
TINGTING
That voice, the sound of the school bell I used to hear, rang very loudly.
“Halo, test, test, what's on?”
“…”
I looked towards the origin of the sound, the speaker on the board, it sounded well.
“...”
The sound of the speaker was male, and the sound was crisp, maybe it was a disguise.
“Yak, everything is up huh?”
“Welcome in semester 2! This is the moment that I and the people have been waiting for, and it will also determine whether you are worthy to take the class or not.”
“What does Reyfall mean?”
“As a word of welcome, I will explain how this system works, this place has 40 floors and all the same, so all the residents of your class and generation are scattered in this place. The program will last for 6 months, until June, and the way to be declared successful of the program is to take a student card belonging to another student, in any way, steal it, or, take it by force, kill the owner, or whatever, whatever the way you get it, or in other words, the one who goes up to class is only half of your class, the rest does not go up to class.”
“…”
“If you get your friend's student card before the time runs out, you better hide in a very safe place until the notification time is up. Or if you do not manage to get anyone's student card until the time is up, you are declared not to go to class or be expelled from school. Depends on your treatment for the year.”
“If you guys want to pee, don't worry! The toilet is guaranteed to be clean, the toilet is very clean, but also has no lights or lighting, so it remains dark.”
“Oiya, I will not let you starve to death, every room has been provided a lit refrigerator, and will be replaced with food every day, yes, every day.”
“Food?!”
I saw the refrigerator in question and went straight to it.
“Wait a minute, that place..”
After I realized again, where the refrigerator was in the back corner of the class and covered the wall that was supposed to be ‘Depress’ Door, but only the wall behind the refrigerator, it was just a wall behind the refrigerator, there is no sign that the place used to be ‘Depress’ door, just plain wall.
“Enoughly easy, isn't it?”
“Good luck, thank you.”
TINGNONG
“Sounds like I need intake.”
I took the food in the fridge, whatever I liked and wanted to eat. And then eat it, alone...
...
...
...
“...”
TINGTING
“Halo, sorry I added a little.”
“For everything, don't die yes..”.
“Because if you die in this place, you will absolutely ‘mati’.”
“I mean ‘mati’ here is completely dead, dead from this world, dead from the memories of friends, even dead from family memories.”
“So my message to all, don't die and stay alive.”
TINGNONG
“Hah?”
“I don't understand the point, does this have anything to do with the thing Reyfall told me?”
“Already, now I have to meet the others.”
I stood up and walked out of that room.
“Hah?!”
I don't believe what I saw. I was in the corridor, but this really felt high, not on the 3rd floor that it should be, like on the 30th floor and above, plus there was a lava waterfall, which seemed like it would not run out, it seemed like the source of the lighting in the space of the lava waterfall.
“It turns out I'm not in class.”.
I looked up, the sky was still clearly visible, because this place did not seem to have a roof. And there are more floors above.
“It looks like it's still morning..”
I stepped to the side and looked down.
“Uh, It turns out that there are 40 floors..”.
There was a lava pool right on the 1st floor, and it looked like I was on the 35th floor.
“Quickly hot..”.
“...”
“But is it true that the others are in this place???”
I walked into the next room and entered.
“Excuse.”
“...”
“Ra-Razox? Is that you?” I heard a reply from the room.
“I-iya it's me.” Reply doubt.
“Good..”.
Someone came straight out of the darkness and appeared before me.
“You...”
It was Claudia.
“Razox, help me to find another, I'm scared.” Claudia said while holding her stomach.
“Eh? Why are you?”
“I don't know, ever since I woke up in this place, my stomach has hurt.” Claudia.
“Ohh... maybe it's just regular diarrhea, later it will also heal by itself, I have also experienced it, really. Wake up, keep the stomach hurting.” I said casually.
“Then now help me find another one, come on.” Take Claudia.
“Ba-good. But can you still walk in that state?”
“Of course, this is not a problem for me!” Claudia looked very excited even though she was still holding her stomach.
“...”
We both walked up the stairs.
“You up or down?” My toot.
“Clearly go down, exit ‘kan is on the first floor.” Claudia.
“So you said you wanted to find another one. They could be on top.”
“Alright, I'll just come.” Claudia said.
“After all, getting down to the first floor in a hurry is also not a good idea.” Added.
We checked the room one by one very carefully, making sure that the person inside the room was the one we knew.
“Wait, Claudia.” I said arrest Claudia.
“What's up?”
“See it.”
I pointed at the shadow in the room, a figure of a person sitting down and bowed.
“Hmm... weird..”.
I realized something, there were 2 sticks on both shoulders and something like a cloth connecting the two sticks.
“You think it's what?”
“It...” Claudia's pointing out the object I'm pointing at.
“That's the handle for pushing seat and backrest.”
“That's a wheelchair!”
“That's Surely Love!” Claudia.
“Hey, how do you know? We haven't confirmed who the girl is.”
“Obviously it's Love, who do you think is in our school in a wheelchair?”
“...”
Nothing, just him.
Without hesitation, Claudia immediately approached the girl.
“Hoi! Love!”
“...”
The person realized that someone called him and immediately showed his face.
It was true that it was that girl.
“Clau... dia..”.
“Why do you look so limp? Have you eaten?” Claudia asked who directly pushed the wheelchair into the refrigerator.
The girl not only looked extremely limp, but also looked extremely desperate.
“Not, not that..” The girl shook her head.
“Why?” My toot.
“Only... I'm not sure I can get out of this place and I will be killed soon..” Said the girl very softly.
“Uh... no need to worry, we will protect you.” I said as I walked closer to him.
“You will not die here, we will help you get out of this place..”.
“...” The girl still looked limp and started to feel sad.
“... and find Tino,”
“dia must be here too and looking for you.”
“...”
“Ra.. zox..”.
“...”
“Thank you!!!” The girl threw herself out of the wheelchair and immediately hugged my waist which was in front of her.
“EEHH!!” I lifted him up and put him in his wheelchair.
“...”
“This,” Claudia gives the girl a plate of meat to eat.
“hopefully this is enough, but if less, just say.”
“Thank you.” The girl received the food from Claudia and immediately ate it.
He had not eaten since waking up from this place...
...
...
...
“How, Love? Already full?” Ask Claudia.
“Ya.”
“Now let's find another one and get out of this place.” I'm excited.
“Good.” The girl seemed to agree, but I still saw the doubt on her face, seeing that she was not ready to come out of this room.
But yes, we're out of that room.
“...”
“It looks like the others are below..” Claudia.
“Then we go down.” My reply.
“Hei! Claudia!” Call someone from a distance.
“Who is it?!” I immediately pulled out the horses to fight.
“Eh?”
“Yuli?!” Claudia immediately realized that it was her friend, Yuli.
“Claudia!”
The two of them approached and hugged each other.
“...”
“I guess I lost you.”
“No, I'm here, Yuli.”
“...”
I feel uncomfortable seeing that sight.
“Friends, let's continue our journey, there are still many floors below.” Said the girl who interrupted them.
...
While in front of the stairs, we stared down in confusion.
“How is this? How can we lower Love?” Ask Claudia.
“Just do as usual, you ‘kan often up and down me on the stairs, Razox.” Say the girl.
“Indeed, but this is different, the stairs look dark, even I can't see the steps.” My words are doubtful of myself.
“I'll help.” Yuli.
“Eh? Te-thanks.”
“I too!”
We went downstairs with the help of Claudia and Yuli.
“Razox, it looks like I'm exhausted.” Said Claudia who was down.
“Alright, we'll rest first.”
I took them to the room where I was conscious. I didn't eat much, so the food in the fridge still had plenty left.
“...”
“We have to find another one and get out of this place.” Claudia said with a mouth full of food.
“Hey, don't talk when your mouth has food!” I reprimanded.
“Hmm... but it doesn't seem that easy,” Yuli said.
“you heard the announcement? To get out of this place at least one person has two student cards,”
“and the student card can be obtained by any means, which means it can kill the owner.”
“Then there will definitely be a murder in this place!” Claudia looks scared.
“I can't get killed!” The next one looks more scared.
“Ta-but do you know there will be no killing at night?” Say the girl.
“Eh?” We were all confused to hear it.
“...”
“The lighting of this place is only from the outside, the lava waterfall, and one large hole that allows light to enter,”
“and at night, this place will really be pitch dark, no one will dare to come out, no one will dare to kill.” Say the girl.
“Eh? You certain? Know where you're from? Even we haven't gone through the night at this place.” I asked him to doubt his argument.
“At night, people will be exhausted from going up and down stairs during the day, it is also the time to charge them.”
“Wait a minute, the waterfall from the lava pool can be reached, and these tables can be lifted, they can just make this table or chair made of wood a source of their lighting.” Yuli.
“Already! It's already! Stop your argument that did nothing!” Sela Claudia's.
“Now, let's continue our journey to find another.” Bring along.
...
We walked up the stairs again.
...
“Now where are we going?” My toot.
“Down.” Claudia replied briefly.
“Eh? Not going up again? If the others are on top, how?”
“I think enough once we go up, after all it is not possible that everything is above.” Claudia.
“Well if that's what you want.”
I just follow Claudia's words. We went down and checked every room we passed. But before we checked half of the room on that floor, we ran into a crowd of people.
“...”
“...”
They looked at us like they were looking for our student cards.
“It seems to have started..”.
“Razox, I'm afraid, let's go from here.” Say the girl.
“...” I nodded slowly and began my steps to walk, while the others followed behind me.
“Hei.”
One of them covered our path with an iron rod and stopped our steps.
“Hah?! Where did you get that stick?” I was surprised to see an iron rod in front of my eyes.
“Not important! I know you have a student card, quickly submit it!” Shake that guy.
“No.” I replied slowly and calmly.
“Send!”
“No.”
“Said submit!”
He immediately swung his iron rod and would hit me.
But I immediately held the iron stick that almost hit my head.
“Everything, fast run!” My yelling.
The others immediately ran forward, passing me and the person, but I just remembered that the person was not alone, there were still 3 people behind him, still, I immediately brushed off the stick and ran to knock the 3 people down. I made it and the others kept running past them.
“Your opponent is me!”
Shit, this situation, 4 against 1, I should be able to fight them.
“Hmm... unbalanced, if you lose we only get one student card, while if we lose, you get 4 student cards at once.” Say that guy.
“But, boss, after defeating him we can catch up to the one earlier, let alone one of them can not walk.”
“You're right, you'll lose here.”
Cih, they don't even know who I am, and who the girl they say can't walk is.
Wait a minute, I don't know them either, only ever catch a glimpse of them at school.
“HEEAAA!!” The first person to hold the iron rod went straight forward who swung the iron rod to hit me.
I kept avoiding that swing so as not to hit me one bit.
“They are still amateurs!”
Others also attacked even with their bare hands.
I kept dodging without attacking until I got a gap to attack.
...
...
...
Now!
DUADS
I saw the leg of one of them open and immediately grabbed and pulled it.
BRUISED
And turned it around to the three men, and threw out the man who was spinning with me.
“...”
“I won't take your student card.”
“...”
They didn't retaliate, they didn't look strong enough to stand up and fight anymore.
I ran and looked for another.
“Where else??”
“Razox, here.” Said Claudia dariitadi peeking out of the door.
I went straight into that room.
“You are not hiding in a further space?” My toot.
“No, I'm tired! Besides, they don't see us.” Reply Claudia.
“What here is still food?” Tanya Yuli while approaching the refrigerator.
“It looks like so.” Say the girl.
“Hm?”
Suddenly a voice came from the dark end of the room.
“HIII!!” Yuli was shocked and immediately stopped her steps.
“Love? Is that you? Love?”
The voice got closer and asked about the girl.
“...”
Finally the source of the voice approached and revealed itself.
“It's me,”
“Tino.”
