Trapped in 2001

Exams

"Haha?"

"We want an exam?"

Mario rushed after Ratna who was walking, while asking questions.

"Yes, Mario. The day after we take the class exam. Time you forgot?. Don't tell me it's mental illness and your brain disease?"

Ratna sped up the pace, Mario half-running after her.

"What semester have we been in?. Feelings not long ago into this era."

This time Ratna stopped her steps and looked at Mario.

"Lo from birth is here, and every age we pass by together. You were in this age a long time ago, from which we were born."

Mario instantly realized his wrong speech. Ratna doesn't know if she's from the future. In this age Ratna's brain may be set that he knew Mario from childhood. Ratna continued her steps.

"Not that, Rat. I mean, it's the second semester. We're like the new day we entered SMP."

"Mario, what's that semester?" This time, Ratna asked. Mario howled dumbly just like a toothless cow.

"This kid doesn't get a semester?" he murmured in the heart.

"That's Rat, 6 months for the exam and the next 6 months for the class exam."

"You mean?" Ratna doesn't understand.

"Yes, we're going to report twice, right?"

"It's not your disease, time forgets again?. We've reported three times, Mario."

"Three times?" ask Mario not to believe.

"Wulan chess is 3. So we test and report it 3 times."

Mario does not understand, because he uses the semester system. Exams are held in two semesters per year.

"So we're going to report it three times?"

"Mario, rather than lo nanya mulu, mending lo learn deh. Are you ready to take the exam?"

This time Mario is glued to his place, while Ratna continues the journey down the school corridor.

"What's?. Exams?"

Brian and Cavin said, with expressions that seemed to be in disbelief and shocked. When Mario finally said about the class exam, which he had obtained from Ratna.

"Yes, the class test."

Brian tried to swallow the food he was now eating. Suddenly his throat became fiber after hearing the news. While Cavin was seen drinking several times, to neutralize his already tense feelings.

"Gue thought, because this era is not necessarily real or just a dream, there is nothing so-so. There is a."

"Yes, this means it's real nature" Cavin said later.

"That means we're really stuck in this age."

continued again.

"You really or not, we can not avoid the trap of duty in this era. We already got in here."

Mario gave an opinion that was presumably approved by both Brian and Cavin. The two teenagers nodded their heads, although they still looked shocked.

"It can't be yes, we fill in carelessly but the results are good. Who knows this era is set so that we are class champions, even though we are excited."

"Yes, if it really is. What if you don't?" said Mario.

"Udah ngisi ngasal, our value dropped. Back home thumped again the same old people cross our era. Want to go on?" ask Mario then.

"Yes, too." said Cavin. Brian seemed to be thinking.

"The only way is yes, we have to learn" said Mario again.

"Well, there's no other solution" Cavin said.

"Yes, use SKS only, the day-to-day system. It's also time." said Brian.

"Yes, where else do we learn a lot. The only way is SKS."

Mario agreed with Brian. They also remained silent for a long time.

"Mario."

Deddy called Mario while he was hanging clothes in the backyard. Today he was a little late to do the laundry, because he was busy buying books with Brian and Cavin.

Things he never did in his era, considering there is already a YouTube and Google that is more practical to learn. There are also platforms such as teacher rooms and others.

"Yes dad, what's wrong?"

Mario hurried into the house and approached Deddy, who had just returned from work. He didn't come home tonight.

"You've already been registered kumon, why not come on your schedule?"

"Cumon?. Kumon what's anjay?" muttered later.

"Mario?"

"Mmm, anu dad. That's...."

"I forgot you must be."

Mario doesn't know what to answer. He himself did not understand what Deddy was talking about.

"Drink first...!"

Deddy gives him the medicine, Mario complies and takes the medicine. Countless, how many medicines he had taken since entering this era.

Mario did not care, however, the drug did not give a reaction to him. There are also no side effects that he experienced.

"What the hell is that?"

"The two of you told Kumon to too?" mario asked, watching his two friends. They also carry bags like Mario.

"Lu alone, same?" ask Cavin.

"Yes, suddenly I was told to leave. The bag contains a book. What the hell is kumon?" ask Mario.

"Told to fuck us?. Abdel and Kumon are that?" continued again.

"Where do I know." said Cavin sewot.

"You know what, Bri?" ask Brian Cavin.

"Lu again it's on me. I was just good napping built up, told kumon. Kumon's a fuck, I don't understand."

"Come, hunted. Coming in...!"

Davin approached the three of them with a car.

"We're being ushered in with Jota sub Zero?" ask Mario while laughing.

"Davin.." said Cavin sewot.

"Like Jota, ege." said Mario again.

"This one can't be Judo, it's usually karate." replied Cavin.

"But karate is also he's good at it, rather than you." Brian chimed.

"What the hell is that talking about?" This time Davin spoke.

"Ah no koq. Hehe..."

Brian and Mario answered at about the same time. Cavin just laughed a little.

Cars began to creep up leaving the housing complex. Along the way, Mario, Brian, and Cavin kept wondering. What exactly is kumon and want to be taken where they are now. What to do when they arrive at the location later.

"It's already over."

Davin stopped the vehicle right in a building with the words, "Cumon". Complete with a smile emoticon on its O part. Mario, Brian, and Cavin came out, watching the building.

"Gue never saw this." said Mario still flabbergasted.

"Gue thinks it's a bacterial breeding institute" he continued.

"It could be yes." Cavin said.

"If I thought it was a sect."

Brian expressed an opinion, which made the atmosphere instantly become horror.

"Udah hunted in, why is it still dumb?".

Davin pulled his head out of the windshield.

"I'll let you know if you don't come in."

The three of them finally stepped in despite their doubts.

"Oh, so this is a course institution?"

They only found out what a kumon was after coming inside. They also found that many of the school students, who were still in uniform, left the institution while talking about lessons.

"Hhhhh."

The three then breathed a sigh of relief.

"Gue already thought that this was a cult" said Brian.

Mario and Cavin took a deep breath. Their minds are everywhere, just like Brian's.

"The whole cave doesn't know that this is a course, the name is weird. I think bacteria are components of probiotic drinks."

"The two of you never took a course in this place as a child. You're both sons of rich people." asked Cavin.

"Where did I ever course anything. My course teacher noh, Michael. Every day I was taught while being hit with a ruler, if not." said Mario.

"Gue never took a course, my father was more fierce than any teacher. He remains my security guard, while bringing rattan ye right. Learn from me." said Brian later.

"Wait-wait...!"

Cavin noticed the banner inside the lobby.

"There are three programs. Mother tongue, foreign language and mathematics. Seriously, the program is just this?"

Cavin looked at Mario and Brian.

"Don't tell me we're tutoring...?"

"Mathematics."

Well, that's how it is. Soon they were in math class. Mario, Brian, and Cavin seemed to yawn several times out of boredom at seeing the numbers.

But they also can not go anywhere, for fear that Davin is still waiting in front. They finally moved on to that situation.

Some time passed, they finally came out of the boring class. Enthusiastically they approached Davin's car which was still waiting for them.

"the...!" Davin.

"What's the rush?" ask Cavin in wonder.

"Not what, buy me a lick first?" continued again.

"Cav, let the three of you in."

"Where?"

Cavin, Mario, and Brian frowned in astonishment.

"You'll have more lessons in Primigimi."

"Haha?"
