Even though the clock of guidance was over, the bad news was still ringing in the minds of the disciples. Like being pierced by thousands of thorns, some people begin to feel quite depressed. Just like I thought, the possibility in the cultivation of the quality of disciples will soon occur.
I stared at this sad scene with mixed feelings, between annoyance and pity. I was upset that I could not do what I wanted, even I could not feel free time anymore. Furthermore, I feel sorry for some people who are starting to feel depressed because this allows them to commit suicide.
All sorts of questions started popping up in my head.
Why did it start this year?
I still need a lot of information because this shouldn't be happening right now. Even an amateur manager knows that big changes made in a short time will make his subordinates very depressed. At least, they still need a few more years to be able to implement changes of this magnitude.
If something was lacking, it must have something to do with that Mastermind. While there is no concrete evidence, this policy change is one proof that he feels threatened. On the other hand, I also felt threatened because our identity was already known by the enemy.
By the time I left the classroom, next to Claudi's entrance was waiting for me.
“How long?”
I answered without delay.
“I'm thinking a lot of things.”
I asked about Claudi waiting for me.
“What business is it to wait for me like this?”
“Before I explain everything, follow me to the excrement room. We'll talk there.”
I followed Claudi to the World Hero Legend Research workshop.
...
In the room.
The three members had already gathered before we arrived.
Claudia introduced herself in front of all the members.
“Include, my name is Claudi Sarasvati. I am the builder of this exkul and please cooperate.”
After he finished introducing himself, Claudi continued his affairs with me.
We both sat in the corner of the room, while the others quietly listened to the conversation between us.
“So, what do you want to talk about?”
“This is about the policy that the school has just set, I just want to know .. have you got the answer?”
Answers, yes. I see now, there was a chance that he was also thinking about the same mystery as me. Understanding the point, I began to give some guesses in a lucky manner.
“Do they already consider us a threat?”
Instead of answering, Claudi questioned more about my statement of guess origin.
“Why do you think so?”
“Just think it but, if so .. doesn't he underestimate us too much? I mean, we could just find out who is monitoring all the activities of the students while updating the school policy again.”
Wait for.
“There is no way he will let us know his face that easily, there must be a reason.”
I started thinking again.
“At another point of view ... give lightness in tracking him ... a trap, it's him! This policy is a trap for us.”
Hearing my explanation, Claudi asked.
“Why else could it be a trap?”
“Easy, before all-out war don't you need to measure the strength of your enemy? Just like a political fight, you need to figure out the advantages of your opponent before digging into his weaknesses.”
Claudi, who did not understand, asked me to use a language that was easier to understand.
“Can you explain it again? Please use easy to understand language.”
I sighed deeply then said, “He wants to know what we can do at once, that person also wants to trace back who dares to oppose him.”
Claudi tried to deduce my explanation in his own words.
“So, he wants to know who rebelled and all their skills. Is that right?”
“Ya, 100 points for you.”
"Yey!"
He began to be excited like a child being given a sweet candy.
After that, Claudia asked again.
“Then, how to counteract this problem?”
Since it was quite difficult to answer, I asked for some thought time.
“Give me time to think.”
Understanding my situation, Claudi nodded and went to greet the other members.
I closed my eyes and thought.
All of this begins to connect, like a case that will lead me to an unexpected reality. Imagining traitors among the Elders was already very complicated, let alone finding a way to escape his control. The least I could think of was how to avoid direct infighting as well as, erasing the evidence of my existence as their enemy.
The only living witness he can get is James Wallters, like a double-edged sword, James can also hurt his side. For now, I can cross James off the list to watch out for. The rest are some possibilities like, when we fight James are there still any eavesdropping tools that still work?
Although Lee was already convinced that he had messed with the enemy's eavesdropping device, it was possible that some of the tools still worked well despite receiving a wave of noise from the eavesdroppers that Lee gave to each of the Netra members. At the moment the Lee family is also checking the results we got and now, we are still waiting for good news from them. For the destruction that we have done, other Netra members have dealt with it.
Our defense has not been left open. What about the other party? Maybe they will think of another way if this policy does not work. I hope they are still doing something that under humanitarian law, it will be difficult for me to fight back if they are out of the way of humanity.
What do they really want to achieve anyway?
A fortune? The popularity? Power? Political rights?
No, it's not that.
Vengeances.
All of that is nothing but an old grudge, how long it is once the flame of vengeance is lit still you need water to extinguish it. What if that person was afraid of the vindictors then, he tried to calm them down by destroying the reputation of the school until this place became a pile of garbage. Pretty reasonable, but I'm not sure anyone else would accept this possibility.
The Elders were also quite mysterious since no one had ever seen their faces or met them in person. There are some rumors saying that they could be disguised as teachers, some say they are just a bunch of myths of this school. I can't draw any conclusions about them, only I'm sure they really exist and are now watching us all.
Feeling something cold above my head, I opened my eyes.
I saw Rena looking at me worriedly.
“What's up?” my many.
Rena held my arm and she pointed it at something cold above my head.
“Do not think too much, occasionally rest first.”
I took the cold drink that was on top of my head and thanked Rena.
“Thank you, how much does it cost?”
He refused to give me back the money.
“No need, just think of it as an apology and thank me.”
Not wanting to argue, I immediately received the drink and gulped it down.
Rena asked me again about my situation.
“How are you doing now?”
“Pretty good.”
After hearing my reply, he patted my shoulder and went to gather with the other members.
Not long after, Claudi came back to me.
“Find a clue?”
“Nothing but, I found something interesting.”
Hearing the interesting word, the button Claudi started to be pressed on.
With a face that was quite exuberant like a dog, he asked me.
“What is it?”
“There is a possibility, their entire action is based on an old grudge.”
Claudi's face began to take a strange shape, this indicates that he was thinking and trying to process various kinds of events that would occur in his brain. From here, I could already see his smoky head. Looking at him with a new appearance and when he was thinking, in my eyes he looked funny.
My mouth unintentionally took out that sentence.
“It is fitting that I will never be able to think of you as an adult woman.”
Lothawat! I hope he doesn't listen to my words!
As expected, he was still in the process of thinking and would not heed anything nearby.
Looking at Claudi's condition like that, Sophie asked me.
“Is she okay?”
“Look, this freak has a habit of thinking he won't care about anything around him.”
“Eh? Shouldn't we wake him up?”
Lee followed our conversation.
“It is not needed because ... “ Lee took a photo of Claudi with his phone then said, “We can do this to the fullest.”
Then he directed the pose “V” to us.
Rena started commenting on her silly actions.
“Idiot.”
I agree with Rena.
“You're right, he's stupid.”
After hearing our comments, Lee became silent without making any more noise. Meanwhile, Claudia returns from her world.
“At last I got a conclusion!”
All attention was on him.
Silently we waited for him to continue.
Full of pride, Claudi continued his explanation.
“If it's all based on a grudge, wouldn't it be better to list some teachers who have bad backgrounds? Since it was impossible, I thought of another way. Finally I found one way that is, remove the source of the grudge.”
Another idiot who gives strange advice.
I looked at Claudi with pity.
Feeling strange, he asked me.
“There is wrong?”
“Your advice is not entirely wrong but, what if it is the thing that person thought too?”
“Doesn't that mean we've found the motive?”
That word, she lightly said it. In fact, I myself did not think of using such an estimate while listening to the comments from others, at that very moment you just need to flip it over. Today I finally learned something, genius and madness.
I will underline “An Elder is trying to eliminate the source of grudge” in my memory.
And one more thing, it turns out that Claudi is indeed a genius.
