The Era Of Footballer
Chapter 22 - Novis
The afternoon has arrived. Inside the football club room, Rigla stands in front of her clubmates, along with a whiteboard.
"Today we will talk about Novis" said Rigla who made his friends excited. "Based on its history, the first Novis users appeared 35 years ago. The rest is history."
Very short! hamka and the others.
"Yosh, I get it!" diego said firmly with steam being spouted from both noses.
No. .. he does not understand .. Inner Hamka and others.
"There is a saying that says, those who have Novis are football players. However, football players do not necessarily have Novis" Rigla said, which made Hamka and others gulp.
"Is that really?!" said Diego, who stood in shock, in disbelief, and made the chair fall.
You already have it, Bego! inner Hamka and the others held back in annoyance.
"Your firepower is your Novice, you idiot" Rigla said.
Thank you, Rigla! hamka and the others.
"O-oh .. so, yes .. ha .. haha .. hahaha!" said Diego who was stiff and then laughed. "Then what's the other Novis?"
Deng ... Diego's unpolished plain speech made Hamka and the others flinch; nervously speechless.
"Therefore, today we have not been training on the field again" said Rigla who then walked to pick up something in his locker and made Diego and others wonder.
"Rigla, don't-don't you?!" diego said excitedly.
"Yes, the principal bought this for us" Rigla said.
It is a square shape made of metal. The top of the surface of the object there is a rectangular line at the bottom there is a writing parallel to the bottom: Name, Novis.
"As Diego guesses, this thing is the Novis Detection Tool."
Rigla's justification made Diego and the others excited. So excited, they shouted "Oh!" unconsciously.
"So, who'd want to try"
Dish! Like a thunderstorm, Diego immediately stood in front of Rigla with sparkling eyes. Rigla put on a look of disdain and then sighed. "Well, fine .. I understand."
Rigla then pulls out a small table and puts the Novis Detection Tool on the table. He then plugged the Novis Detection Tool into a socket.
The rectangular line that is on the upper surface of the Novis Detection Tool is lit (in white). "Yosh, please put your hands up here."
Diego slightly rolled up the sleeves of his right hand shirt.
"You're wearing a short-sleeved uniform, you're stupid" Rigla said.
"O-oh .. ahahaha .. a-I just want to. .. test my friends are still concentrated or not, hahaha!" said Diego making a defense and laughing nervously.
What makes her nervous .. Rigla's inner wonder. If only the others, I could understand.
Diego's right hand rests on top of the Novis Detection Tool. The originally calm white light slowly grew brighter and turned blue.
"O-ohh! Wh-what's this?!" said Diego amazed to not believe. Hamka and the others looked on nervously.
The light slowly dimmed, turning back into white.
Name: Diego Pamungkas
New: Fire
"Ohh! Look at! It really works!" said Diego lifting the Novis Detector to make the cable removed from the socket.
"Eh ...?"
***
"Next" said Rigla, who kicked Diego out.
"Rigla! Openup! I promise I won't fight anymore!" diego shouted banging on the door of the clubroom.
Diego's screaming and noisy voice could not be heard by Hamka and the others. The sound of their heartbeats was much stronger than Diego's noisy cries. A constant inner voice convinces themselves that they have a Novis, a voice that constantly whispers what would happen if they did not have a Novis.
"Is this the right decision?", "What if I don't have a Novis?", and the others continue to haunt the contents of their heads.
Rigla sighed. He suddenly pulls Hamka's hand and attaches it to the top of the Novis Detection Tool.
"Ri-rigla?!" shouts Hamka surprised who is still nervous.
Name: Aditya Hamka
New: Earth
"O-OHHH!!" shouted Hamka and the others very excitedly. Philip and the others congratulated Hamka.
"You did it, Hamka!" said Aji patting Hamka's shoulder.
"Ahaha ..thank you," Hamka replied blushing in shame at the compliments that came to her.
Aji took a deep breath. Convince yourself and calm down. "Yosh, next me!"
"You can do it, Ji!" philip was followed by the support of his other friends.
Aji put her hand on.
***
One by one the members pressed their hands together. Every light was dim again, the excited screams chanted, making the Diego who was outside the room even more envious. He tried to eavesdrop from outside the room, but the feeling of dissatisfaction only made him even more upset.
"They got anything?! Hey, Riglaaaaa! Let me in!" said Diego who keeps banging on the door.
The door suddenly opened, knocking Diego in.
"Oi, if you're going to say something, dong!" said Diego standing up not accepting.
"So, kick it out again?" reply Rigla flatly.
"No .. thanks ..." said Diego swooping in like a child who had been scolded by his parents. "Tu-wait a minute, don't switch topics! Hamka, Philip, and the others. You guys got Novis, right?!" he said with great enthusiasm even though in his heart stubbornly.
Hamka and the others put on gloomy faces. Make Diego's sky-high spirit drop as low as the mariana trench. "No-can't be ...."
"There must be something wrong with the device!" diego said worriedly and did not try to deny the reality. "Ri-rigla! That thing must be broken!"
"Huh? You are really stupid apparently, yes," replied Rigla who then turned around and sighed.
"Did?"
Diego looked at the faces of Hamka and the others. Hamka and the others could not help but laugh. Laughter broke, making Diego embarrassed not to play.
"You dare fool me!" diego shouted after Philip and the others who ran away from the club room.
When everyone went outside, leaving Rigla alone in the room, Hamka approached Rigla. "Ri-Rigla ...."
"Hm?" answer Rigla who is back tidying up the Novis Detection Tool.
"That thing .. isn't from the principal, is it?"
Rigla was a little surprised by Hamka's words. Without turning around and continuing to tidy up her things, Rigla replied, "What basis did you conclude that on?"
Hamka gulped, he was nervous to answer Rigla's cold question. However, he confirmed his heart and replied, "Ta-tadi when Brother Diego picked up the object .. I accidentally saw a photo on the bottom."
Rigla's eyes widened. He smiled and turned to Hamka, "He's my brother. And you're right, this isn't from the principal. It's a gift from my brother."
Hamka's mouth was slightly open. The glare of a Rigla he had never seen before. A gaze that harbored deep sadness. A tear dam that can break at any time.
"A-"
Diego calls from the door, making Rigla and Hamka look at him. "Rigla, Hamka, let's practice!"
"Yes, I'll catch up. Hamka, you go first." replied Rigla.
Hamka looked back at Rigla. He clenched his hands, holding his ego. He knew that there was something behind the photo, something Rigla was hiding.
"It's not time yet." It was a sentence that came to Hamka's mind.
Hamka sighed, trying to calm himself down. A little nervous and awkward, he smiled and said, "Well, I'll be there soon!" and ran out of the club room.
Hamka ran past Diego. After Hamka ran far enough, Rigla said, "Diego .." and was immediately greeted by Diego, "Hurry to the field, the others are waiting," smiling and then running after Hamka.
"Yes .. thank you" said Rigla who then looked up at the sky.
