The Youth Life Maze

The Youth Life Maze
Story Side: Aithan POV



Hello hello, I am Aithan Delvian, I am the Demon King as well as Al's best friend. The thing that makes me happy is, playing Al, playing games, gacha ku wangy, workout, and reading manga like that.


I'm here replacing Al who's on vacation in Valhalla.


Haha, kidding, but it doesn't seem like my joke is funny at all huh, sorry, I've tried my best.


Never mind, forget my cringe-wringing earlier. Okay, today, it's actually still Friday, the day of the rap distribution, so well, just enjoy the story that Aithan-sama is going to bring!


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


On this beautiful morning, I've been sighing for quite a while, "Today, the distribution of rapots well, I wonder what rank I will be in class, if Al anyway, if Al anyway, it must be the first."


I walked towards the class slowly, I was really scared by my grades in the rapids later. In fact, my parents are not as strict and hard as Al's parents, but still I feel there must be something to be proud of me.


What the hell, early in the morning has been underestimating myself, the real me is not like this, spirit.


I arrived at the class, Al was sitting in his seat as usual, apparently he was reading the manga. I went up to him, "Oyy, ohayou" I said with a big smile.


Al closed the manga and looked towards me, "Ohayou, Aithan."


I was a little surprised, because Al returned my morning greetings normally, "You... Wh why?? Sick? Let's go to the Uks."


"Haha, what the hell, I'm okay, besides why do you think I'm sick?" ask Al.


"You, very different than usual right now, I'm so scared..."


"Pooch.. It's up to you." Al is back to reading the manga.


"Hahaha, that's the new Al I know" I said, patting Al on the back.


"Huhhh, you're also like always well, weird."


"Fufu, I was destined to be like this."


Then the doorbell rang, and I sat down to my seat. I also took my HP from my pocket, and scroll through social media.


Almost 12 minutes passed since the bell rang, our homeroom teacher finally arrived at the class. But, I still keep playing my HP.


After the homeroom teacher is done with long enough greetings and advice, finally the announcement of the ranking will be mentioned.


I'm pretty sure that my bestofriendo, Al will be ranked first. While I am only aiming for the top 10, managed to get the top 10, I can be very proud.


"Well, I'll announce the top 3 in this class."


"Third place is Ananda, Anka Chizu."


1 The class was filled with quite a lot of applause, then the homeroom continued.


"The second rank was achieved by, ananda Aini Melanie." Applause was even more crowded when he heard Aini's name called.


Well, they again, which changed only Aini who rose to second rank, the previous rank 2 belongs to Anka.


"Then, the first rank is achieved by..."


"At least, Al," I murmured slowly.


"Alvaro Nagiru, congratulations, for having ranked first in a row out of 1st grade."


The mood of the class became quiet, faintly heard by me there was a demonizing Al, words like, "Hahh.. He's again yeah, so boring."


"He must have bribed the teacher right, there is no way he continued to be ranked first, even Anka just as Aini was competing for the rank of dapetinya."


"Yes, he must have been bribing, listen, his parents were rich, so the possibility of him bribing teachers was huge."


"Maybe he was a genius made by God, that's for sure."


"Him? A genius? No way, hahaha."


"Huhahh.. Besides, he has no friends besides Aithan, right, I feel sorry for him."


At that moment, I felt very upset, they did not even know what Al had experienced.


I don't know what's on Al's mind, but he doesn't seem to care much about the negative comments that classmates make, even though they talk about it right in front of the person directly.


My HP also rang because of the notifications I got, it was a message from Al, 'Not to be too concerned, I have been used to getting negative opinions of others about me since SD.'


You're, like, strong, Al. Then, the three of them who reached the top 3 ranked also advanced forward.


They were also photographed, to be put on a class album, the defending champion, that's the album.


Sounds like nonsense, I don't know, because the students in this class almost no one appreciates Al's struggle at all, except me.


In fact, rank 2 and 3, staring at Al with a face full of hatred, I don't understand.


I tried to open my sealed mouth, I couldn't stand it, because almost every year this happens, "Yes, just keep giving your negative comments to Al," I said with a firm tone. "But, you need to remember, that won't change the fact that Al is the smartest student in the class. He works hard and deserves credit for his achievements."


His classmates were silent for a moment, shocked by my bravery that finally revealed what I had long been quiet about. Some of them raised eyebrows, whereas others simply shook their heads with scorn.


"Bright... Apaan nih, Alvaro's only friend who opens his mouth," said one of the classmates in a dismissive tone. "Normally it is also used. Look, Alvaro doesn't really care, huh."


I who had enough emotion immediately threw out my answer, "Well, well, keep talking with your mouth that can not get any achievements."


One of them seemed like someone wanted to challenge me, "Hee... Maybe it's true that we didn't have any achievements in class, but maybe one of us was doing well outside of school, what are you, what are there achievements that I can be proud of??" that person's gaze felt extremely sharp and directly pierced through my body.


I still have nothing to be proud of, I... Must what.


Suddenly, Al stopped this debate, "Here you go, there's no point arguing, you may have your own opinion of me, and it could be that you also have achievements and also the advantages of each, preferably also, just because of me, you argue," said Al with his calm face.


Although I was carried away by my emotions and uttered unwise words, Al wisely stopped the debate. Al's mature attitude demonstrates a deep understanding of the importance of respecting differences and stresses that such debates will not bring any benefit.


Then after that incident, our homeroom teacher gave us our rapot, I only managed to get a rank of 16 out of 35 students, it was quite decent in my opinion, because I had never previously obtained a rank 16 like this.


After 2 hours, the rapot division was completed.


"Finally done yahh." I stretched my body, as did Al.


"Yeah.. At least I can relax now."


"Hehe, sorry about the commotion I just made," I said as I rubbed my head, I felt guilty.


Al just smiled, "Haha, relax, I'm used to your behavior that comes from the ceplos, but actually all this time you've been holding back long enough well."


"Well that's it," Al looked quite moody as he said I'd held him back, "Since it's still daytime, and you're also ranked first in the class again, let's treat me," I continued to melt the atmosphere.


"Well, may I treat once in a while" replied Al with a slight smile.


"Yeayy, ayooo," I pulled Al's hand.


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


"Uhh.. Now where are we," I asked.


"It's my favorite cafe, well maybe people like you wouldn't really like the place, but enjoy it."


"okay.. I think I just have to enjoy it, easy, easy" I said.


"Well, let's go that way."


Then we ordered food and drinks and talked for 3 hours straight. Al and I talked about things, things like the future, anime and the like, conspiracies, history, and more.


I managed to make a conversation that was almost non-stop, Al also seemed to be very entertained.


When I saw my HP, 14:33, it was already this hour, I said in my heart.


"You want to go home, Al?" my many.


Al who was sucking his drink replied, "Slurpp, uhh.. It's like this, well, home is not good." he replied.


"Here you go, let's go home, finish that novel you made, when we're done let's play again" I said with a smile.


"Yeah.. You're right, all right, since I'm the dealership, I'll pay for everything we ordered, "he said, Al went to the cashier


I went after Al, "Ummm.. After I thought, meningan I'm the one who treat, because you're the one who dapet rank 1."


"Uhh.. I don't really have a problem buying you."


I shook my head, "No, no, no, no, I'm the one who's bought it."


"Hm... Yeah whatever, then, bye, see you later," Al waved his hand.


"Yes, I'll see you later" I replied to Al's wishes.


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


After I finished paying, I went back to my house, because there was nothing I wanted to do, I just drew.


When dinner time came, I went down to the kitchen and got together with my family.


"Hohoo, My Del, is there something bad happen?" ask papaku.


"Uhhh.. There's nothing" I replied.


"Hmhm, I see, then is there something good happens?“ my father asked again.


"Yes, there is a thing" I replied.


"Hey, hey, heii, if your daddy asks with English, answer also use English dongg," said my papa.


Well, that's my papa, he's a very cool person, my pretentious nature is a descendant of him, so well, that's it.


"Btw, what makes you love?" ask mamahku.


"Well, nothing really, nothing, hehe," I replied, lazy to continue this conversation, I immediately focused on eating.


"Hmmm... Did you get a real girl, My Del??" my father asked the impossible.


"Uhh.. That's impossible, papa," I replied.


"Ahahahahaa, yes, wahahaha, too" This laughter from my father hurt me deeply.


"Here you go, honey, don't bully our son" my mom helped me.


"You're right, my honeyy," my mom and dad started flirting with each other.


"Ohh, noo, I'm feeling getting shot by cupid arrow."


"Ohh, noo, my honey, everything is gonna be alright."


Ughhh.... They make me jealous.


After dinner, I finished the picture I made, and I slept at 10pm.
