The Conqueror Who Conquered

New Students

Richi sat on the bed, hugging and putting his chin on his knees. His hair he let loose. His ears did not stop buzzing with words he should not have heard.

The door to her room opened, Mary went inside.

He had seen Richi's wet face, without asking anything, he felt that something made his daughter sad.

Mary takes the comb and sits behind Richi.

"Ichi.your hair is getting longer and more beautiful". Praise Mary while combing her son's hair.

Richi did not flinch, his mother's praise did not make his heart improve.

"Honey, if something happens to make you sad, you can tell your mom".

"There's nothing, Mother" he said in a voice that sounded raucous.

Mary sighed, she had never seen Richi like this.

"There's no harm in us changing a little bit for the sake of the goals we want to achieve."

Richi raised his head, "Mother, can I cut my hair". He said in a soft voice, almost crying.

Mary immediately twisted her daughter's body. "Darling, what's wrong? Tell your mother".

Richi couldn't hold back her tears, she cried and then Mary quickly hugged her daughter.

"Ichi, are you in love, dear? Does he like women with short hair?"

Richi shakes. "He likes long-haired girls".

Mary took off her embrace. "Then?"

"I hate him now. I don't want what he likes to be with me". He said while wiping his tears. "I don't like this feeling."

Mary sighed, then gently stroked Richi's head. "Do what makes your heart better, baby. Mom won't stop him now. Just promise me, be a strong woman like you usually are. Don't torment your mind just for thinking of men."

Richie nodded quickly. "Only today, Mother. I promise, I'll be fine soon.". He then got a kiss on his forehead and hugged his mother again.

Richi walked towards the Canteen quietly though all eyes looked at him in astonishment. It's not usually Richi.

"Richi, aren't you hot?" Ask Frans who is balancing the road.

"No. Why the hell?" He asked curiously, staring at the road in front of him.

"It's not usually that you let your hair break down that way. Didn't you always say hot?" Connect Isac again.

"Masa? Never mind, Hurry. I'm hungry". He said and walked straight into the crowded canteen.

Richie became the talk of today. During this time they only saw Richi curling her hair and today, the girl opened and let her sway on her waist.

"Richi, your hair is good". Said a man and only answered a faint smile by him.

Axel clapped Hugo's hand many times. "Look behind you!" He said to Hugo sitting in front of him.

Hugo looked back, finding Richi was talking casually to some men with her unusual hair.

"What's he doing? Why is it so unusual?" Ask Isac to see.

"But it's beautiful, yeah. If you look at it, then I believe that the one who danced with Hugo was Richi." Axel continued while Hugo immediately turned around, eating his food again.

Frans put his tramp on the table next to Hugo.

"Nothing's empty, just here, yeah." Frans said and got a thumbs up from Richi.

Richi picks a bench that turns his back on Hugo's table. The girl sat down and her hair almost touched her seat.

"What a good hair, Richi." Say a man through it.

Hugo looked at her with annoyance as many men praised the girl's hair. Was he on purpose? inner Hugo.

Richi clamped his front hair back with a clasp that Hugo gave him at that time.

The girl tidied her hair to stay behind, then she ate instant noodles on the table.

Eric and Frans were still looking at his friend who was eating voraciously.

"Ri, are you sure about your food?" Ask Frans.

"Why?" Ask with food still in your mouth.

"And you said instant noodles weren't good."

"Well, here I eat." He answered with a short smile and ate his noodles again.

"I hear, you know!" Tukas Richi and his two friends immediately ate the food.

The middle school was bustling, many students were crowding both upstairs and downstairs looking out, a beautiful woman walked gracefully down each step accompanied by the eyes of a man who could not be separated looking at her.

"New disciples?" Asked the people half-whispering for never seeing the girl before.

The girl wearing sunglasses went up to the second floor, she now passed by Richi who furrowed her eyebrows looking at the beautiful girl in front of her.

He walks over and his shoulders clasped with Richi's shoulders.

The girl lowered her glasses, "Ups, Sorry". He said and stepped again.

"Die you later!" Mumbled Richi slowly.

"Forgett.."

Bella, the new student who had been nudging Richi was sitting limp on the floor, while Richi looked at her with her hands folded in her chest.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean it." Bella fused the two palms together under her chin.

Richi stared intently at the girl kneeling in front of him. Because of his behavior just now, making Richi want to beat him up.

"Punish me... I was just so I could look cool. Time I have to bow down to you there. Why are you standing there anyway. I see it!" Tukas Bella at length.

"Then, why didn't you come into action last night?" Ask Richie firmly.

Bella stood up, approaching Richi with her long face. "I just got to the airport. The time you told me to go straight to war. Especially with these nails." Whine while showing paint and decoration on his nails.

Richi sighed harshly. "Well, there could be Valiant members like this!" He stepped out of his class.

"You are, don't be so dong. Gini-gini I'm great, you know." He said as he followed Richi from behind.

"You forgive me, don't you." Persuade Bella from behind him, poking Richi's shoulder. "Your hair is good, you know. It's not usually allowed to do that"

In front of his class, Hugo and the others looked towards the two girls who had just walked out of Richi's class.

"They know each other?" Ask Isac.

"Yes, it looks like." Said Axel while chewing gum in his mouth.

"Look at Hugo's hair, isn't that your favorite type?" Said Daren looking at Bella's hair that was almost as long as her waist.

"Richi is still much nicer and longer". Hugo muttered softly but still could hear Daren's ears.

Hugo turned around, walked into class, followed by Daren.

"You like it, right?" Ask Daren.

"Well, like it or not, obviously my relationship with him has been very bad." Hugo threw his body in his chair.

Daren is sitting down. "You're used to being chased, Hugo."

"What do you mean it".

"From a long time ago, you were chased by women and never chased back. You feel like you've always been liked and it keeps you from fighting. Richi is different, she's not the girl who swarms you like sugar".

Hugo looked at Daren. His words left Hugo's mind slightly open.

"So you're saying I should go after him?"

Daren nodded, "Richi is not the type of woman who begs for male love. You can definitely see that. She's different from the girls chasing you. He'll harbor feelings if the lekaki doesn't try to reach him."

Hugo fell silent. What Daren said has a point. He's only been looking at Richi, not trying to catch up with her properly.

"Then, how should I go?" Ask Daren who started to hold back the laughter.

"Start from apologizing, and confess your feelings for her."

Hugo shook his head. "You don't know how much she hates me."

"You're sure she hates you, and then comes to your party and dances with you?"

Hugo raised his head. "You mean he likes me too?" Hugo's eyes were round. If Richi really likes it, isn't this a wonderful thing?

"This stupid one." Daren said, then laughed. "You're just a playboy but you don't know anything." Gelak Daren while holding his stomach that feels tickling.
