The Guts Test System? Who's Afraid!

First Day

“Why does my first day of SMA entry have to be like THIS!? Arghhhh~” shouted Rian as he ruffled his hair in front of the gate of Avernus SMA.

“Hey, is that person okay?”

“Looks like a stressed person.”

“Come don't get close, later on stress transmission also.”

Hearing the whispers of the other students, Rian realized that he was now standing in front of his school gate. “~Ugh” Rian's face blushed instantly.

“Emmm, are you okay?”

From behind Rian, stands a girl who also uses Avernus High School uniform. Her long hair seemed to be waving in the breeze making her look elegant. Coupled with his familiar face, making Rian even more fascinated.

‘Beautiful once.’ thought Rian.

Seeing Rian daydreaming, the woman brought her face closer to 1 cm away from Rian's nose. ”It does not look hot.” said the yellow-skinned woman while holding Rian's forehead.

“Then you don't have a fever but your face is red. Can I take you to UKS?”

“E-ee-ee .. ng-no need, I do not hurt, see ..” point Rian while posing bodybuilding style, but do not look muscle at all in his arm.

“Thank God.. I thought you were sick, what else had you been screaming indistinctly, then followed by your reddened face. Usually people fever like delirious.”

“Alena, let's hurry to class, don't mind that guy!”

Hearing someone call her, Alena turned to her side. There was a girl in Avernus High School uniform with her hair pinched in two. The girl pulls Alena's hand, forcing her to immediately move away from Rian.

“But Tika–”

“Have come fast!”

Alena turns to Rian and gestures an apology while her hand is pulled by Tika. Rian could only smile wryly seeing Alena go, ’even his friend even thought I was strange, haaahh~’. Realizing the blunder he did on his first day of school, Rian grew increasingly depressed.

“Ri~an ..” From behind Rian, a girl closes both eyes of Rian.

“Hayoo~ .. guess who this is?”

“This voice ... Livia?”

“Ting Tong, that's right, yayy ..” replied the shoulder-haired girl while hugging Rian from behind. Her pretty oriental face and white skin made the guys around the school gate envious of Rian.

"You're also in school here? I thought you entered State High School 5, with your National Exam grades, should be enough to get in there."

"Lhoo, didn't I say yes, that I also entered Avernus High School so I could be together again?"

" Haaah~? When?"

"That's the break time in class, after the announcement that you can get a scholarship to Avernus High School. If it is not wrong you are muttering unclear and very worrying. That's why I don't have to leave this cute friend of mine."

"Urghhh" Rian vaguely recalled the incident. At that time Rian was confused by the debt left by his parents who piled up. Even when Mr. Irham, the Guardian of Class 9-A was announcing who the Avernus High School scholarship recipient was in class, Rian did not listen to him. Rian even just found out he was accepted and got a scholarship after Mr. Irham asked for documents on the requirements to enter one of the best SMA in Surabaya.

“Ehmm Ehmm .. Please don't forget both of us yes.” On Livia's side, there were two students who seemed to have been there since the beginning Livia closed Rian's eyes.

“Iya nih, early in the morning already friendly aja.”

“Lho, Adi? The thunder? You guys go to Avernus too? And also, I am no longer this friendly! Livia and I were just childhood friends.”

“Haah~, be patient Livia.” said Thunder while patting Livia's back. The fat student has often seen the insensitivity of Rian since Junior High.

“Iya, who is patient yes ..” Adi can only shake his head to see Rian and Livia.

“By the way you guys enter which class? I just got an SMS this morning if I'm in X-6” class, Tanya Livia.

“We are also X-6” replied Thunder while embracing Adi.

“If you are Rian?”

Rian scratched his head while blushing in embarrassment. “My phone sold yesterday for the meal this month. So I don't know which class I belong to, hehehe ..”

The atmosphere that was once happy turned dark. Seeing that, Livia tried to divert the conversation. ”Let's go to that notice board, maybe there's an announcement about class division as well.”

After looking at the notice board, it turned out that Rian also entered the X-6 class. The four of them rushed towards the X-6 class located on the 4th floor. Arriving there, Rian saw Alena sitting beside Tika. In that instant, Rian's mood changed. Seeing the mood changes Rian, Livia, Thunder, and Adi became confused.

“Hey, Rian why?” The Thunders on Livia.

“Ah, right too. When receiving help from school, Rian's smile was a little creepy, like a maniac.” Connect Adi.

Without caring for his three friends who openly gossiped about Rian in front of his own eyes, Rian rushed over to Alena. “Hai”

Seeing the greeting, “Oh, hi. .. You who had a fever yes, how are you now? Already improved?”

“Thank you in advance, but I really don't have a fever. Just–”

“Just a Soulache!” Cut the Tika with a ketus.

“Ehh, the–”

“Tika, don't be so” Bela Alena.

All of a sudden, Livia approached Tika and pushed her.“Heh, what do you mean call Rian mentally ill, HAAH!”

Tika who fell, pushed Livia back to fall. The two of them fought each other and pulled hair. The other students immediately stirred and tried to break up. Alena and Rian each hold Tika and Livia to calm them both down.

“Hey, what is this about!” A teacher who looks easy to get into class. Seeing two schoolgirls fighting on the first day of school, the teacher was emotional. “Two of you, follow me to the BK room now. Others please calm down and wait for you to return!”

That way, the fight between Livia and Tika ended. They also followed Master to the BK room on the 1st floor.

......................

“Sorry for Tika's behavior. Tika is not like this. For some reason since her sister disappeared, she so always bad mood.” submissive Alena.

“Disappeared?”

“Iya. Big sister Tika used to be a member of this school's Basketball team, even she entered the first team. But one month ago, her brother disappeared. Tika's older sister, Risky, allegedly killed the manager, captain, and 2 members of the Avernus Basketball first team. Since then, Tika has always been insulted as the sister of an assassin and made her sensitive

Realizing the reason behind Tika's attitude, Rian, Guntur, and Adi began to sympathize a little with her. However, it still does not make them forgive his treatment of Rian and Livia. After that, they began to get acquainted and get acquainted with each other. Rian managed to explain to Alena that he was having problems so Rian acted like that this morning. Alena tried asking what Rian's problem was, but Rian just smiled silently without a word. Thunder and Adi, who had only found out about the incident this morning, could only smile.

Adi and Guntur have been friends with Rian since the 7th grade of Junior High, so they know about the changes that have happened to Rian since both of his Parents disappeared. Rian who was originally the brightest student, cheerful and easily familiar with anyone, suddenly turned into a gloomy, often muttering to himself, sometimes even shouting indistinctly as if he was regretting something. And this is exacerbated by Rian's unfocused focus on the circumstances around him while being frayed.

From Rian's interaction with Alena, Rian managed to exchange phone numbers with Alena. But unfortunately, Rian no longer has a cell phone. This made him a little depressed.

Moments later, the young and handsome Master, Pak Arta, returns to class with Livia and Tika. Pak Arta is the Guardian of Class X-6 and also a Counseling Guidance teacher. The two of them look to have made up for each other, but if they are careful a little, Livia and Tika's facial expressions look unnatural, their smiles look fake.

After that, Mr. Arta began to pass one by one student in class X-6, as well as telling them to introduce themselves in front of the class. Because the schedule is slightly short due to the fight Livia and Tika, Pak Arta only allows short self-introduction with a maximum of 2 minutes per person. The next schedule after the introduction is to tour Avernus High School and introduce the facilities. There is no hazing in Avernus High School. So, the school orientation period is only carried out in one day and the next day directly continued teaching and learning activities that mark the start of semester 1.

......................

"Haaahh, weary of orientation today." Rian complained while lying on his bed.

'How about this, where else do I get money from? I only have 3 months before this house is confiscated.' Thinking about it, Rian got out of his bed and began to dismantle the contents of his house, hoping to find valuable objects left by his parents that could be sold.

Not finding any other valuable objects, Rian grew tired and sat in his father's study chair. As he looked at the ceiling of his father's study, Rian saw a collection of holes forming a pattern. Rian looked at the holes. The intelligent figure of Rian had risen again from his sleep, like a serrated wheel filled with cobwebs began to return to work quickly.

"Hmm, these holes if connected.. ahhh, I know !" Rian stood up from the chair and started muttering. 'Atik, Menkib, Mirfak, then Algol. This is the constellation Perseus. What does this symbol mean. In the constellation Perseus, the famous ones are Mirfak and Algol. Mirfak is the brightest star and symbolizes Elbow. Algol is the serpent's eye, symbolizing the head of Medusa.'

Rian began to think while walking around the study. When Rian looked at his father's bookshelf cabinet, he saw a book with the symbol of a stick with two snakes wrapped around the stick. 'Medicine emblem, snake.Wait!' rian took the book. The book was not a book about medicine, but a book about the mythology of one of the Greek gods, Hermes.

While reading the book, Rian felt that something stood out on the cover of the book. Rian tore the cover of the book and found a card. In the card is emblazoned with photos of his father and personal data such as the Identity Card (KTP). The difference is behind the card, there is a symbol of a stick with two snakes that wrap the stick. 'What is this you are trying to say in the constellation symbol Perseus? But this alone is not enough, there must be other hidden meanings. Come think.. Think again Rian, Think!'

Rian looked around his father's study. As he looked at the square-shaped ornamental lights, Rian's eyes widened. 'Mirfak!'

Rian reflexively attached the card to the center of the decorative lamp. The decorative lights are shaped like a painting frame with a frame-shaped lamp and an empty center.

Thiiit

The lights started moving. It turns out that the decorative lights are the door of the safe that is implanted in the wall. In the safe, there is a black cell phone with a unique symbol and a piece of paper. Rian then read the contents of the paper. 'Don't you ever turn on that phone? What does this message mean, the writing is all capital letters, which means this is really important. And I'm sure it's my father's handwriting.'

Rian held the mysterious phone. When looking at the back of the phone, Rian faintly saw various strange symbols that formed abstract patterns. But the symbols are not very clear, if not seen closely, the symbols will not be seen. Somehow, when Rian saw the symbol, in Rian's mind came a strong curiosity as if ordering Rian to turn on the phone. Not strong enough to hold the curiosity, Rian also turned on the phone.

When turning it on appeared the symbol of the stick with two snakes wrapped around it. 'This symbol again?'

Then on the screen of the phone, the process of downloading an application and installing it appears. After the installation process was complete, a transparent screen appeared in front of Rian that read The Guts Test System. The screen actually appeared in front of Rian's eyes, but not on the phone screen, but floating in front of Rian.
