Whiteocean: The Limitless Testament
Chap 1: Farewell of friends
It's already night time.
The sky is now very beautiful to look at, the full moon is shining brightly, the stars are perfectly visible.
Turn on my engine, and leave immediately.
After finishing my needs, I set out to attend a special farewell event for Al.
From tomorrow he will leave for the capital to enter the Citra Academy Jakarta, or commonly called the ACJ. An elite school that can only be entered by high achievers and of course with a high Stage.
Well. Actually, my academic grades should be enough to pass the entrance exam.
But I refused to try to take the exam. If I make it in, then my chances of being targeted for bullying will increase drastically. This was certainly because that place was a gathering place for great people with high Stage. If I go there I don't know what happened, and at that time I will again rely too much on Al.
Refusing to go to school with him was a decision I made to improve.
By the way, Al entered the Academy through the invitation, so far I only have 5 students who entered through the invitation line this year. My soul mate is great.
But nevertheless…
“Is this a little too late…? Surely some people have gone home.”
Looking at my watch, it's right now at 21:30.
“... The event starts at 7pm, it is definitely quiet this..”.
“Leave it alone, if there is no one I can go straight home.. or maybe I hang out for a while.”.
After thinking about it, I raised the speed of my bike and drove. A few days later, I reached a coffee shop that was promised.
I slightly peeked inside the tavern to find the whereabouts of my acquaintances. Since the table was ordered a little away from the window I had a bit of difficulty in finding it. A few moments later I found him.
“ Ahh..
After finding the thing I was looking for, I went straight in and approached the table filled with my acquaintances.
When I was near people who started to realize my existence and turned to me. Some of them looked at me with a very disturbing look. Clearly written the words “You were so long ago” on their faces.
Currently, only 5 people remained there.
“Yo..., sorry I'm late!”
“Yes, it's okay, you must be busy right now.”
The reaction came out of Al's mouth, it was delicious. Even so, some of them still look at me with a glance like before, although it has been slightly refined.
“That's..”.
I took off the jacket I was wearing and put it on the chair and then sat down. Then I asked where the other classmates were
“Only your stay? Where the hell else?”
“They have gone home first, but there are also those who are gathering elsewhere.”
“So yes... yes definitely so.”
A few minutes later I started ordering.
“Master, one coffee!!”
“Yaa..”
The bartender responded well. Actually, this place has been my favorite for a long time.
“Although so, instead of you being too late, Sai..”.
A late and less unpleasant reaction came from the mouth of another close friend of mine, Reinhard.
“Yaa sorry, didn't I apologize earlier.”.
He only responded by drinking coffee with an annoying expression.
“And also yes Rei, I came late also because of you..!”
A few minutes later the coffee I ordered came.
“This is it..”.
“Thank you..”.
She was still calm at first a while after my statement, but after that, she choked a little.
“Uhuk... eehhh, me?”
He said while pointing to himself. It seems like he's not aware of my needs today. I could only sigh, the response was long, was it because he was on purpose, or was he stupid.
“Houh…. Why do you think I'm late?”
“Because you were lazy to come..”.
He said those words without any burden at all. Really sucks. Even the people who only listened to our chatter laughed. Even Al who had just been silent and enjoying his black tea looked a little smiling.
“Hah..?!”
I responded with a very piercing tone and expression.
Even that tone and gaze could scare a Reinhard.
“Ahh... lie, lie! Just kidding! Hehehe, you are late because I asked for your help for the new student acceptance event right.”.
The people around me laughed because of that.
”Haahh, you may not remember that.”
“Sorry-sorry, it was just a joke.”
I returned to drinking quietly after that, as did Rei. After that the other friend started to remember about the new student reception.
“Oh yes, I just remembered you who advanced later on the show...”
“True, I look forward to your action Rei..”.
“Action what…? I was so lazy to know about the show. But if I don't come, no one can match that guy in the 10th-grade division. What a hassle!!”
He spoke in a lazy voice and while randomly shuffling his hair, a sign of how unwilling he was to participate in the new student reception.
“Have done it, and also all the preparations, necessities, and others I took care of! All you do is advance into the arena and fight.”.
I responded, and again he put on a sour face.
“But if Al were to advance I would not be chosen, would I…? So I don't have to attend the show! Right no?”
After Rei said such a thing, everyone turned their eyes towards Al who was still calmly drinking his black tea. That guy, really has a classy person mentality huh…
Al finished his black tea and began to respond by saying.
“If I were to advance on the show, there would be two possibilities, and both of them also require that you fight as well.”.
He said that while showing the number two in front of Rei's face.
“What are the possibilities..?”
Rei responded by asking what the possibilities were, the others were enthusiastic as well.
“The first one is the same thing that happened now because I was too strong to advance, even the upperclassmen not necessarily anyone can match ku”
He said with a strong and arrogant tone, as well as his face. He seemed very confident in his words earlier.
Well, that speech was an inevitable fact. It is possible that if all members of our class when SMP fight him, then there will most likely be a massacre.
“And both you and your opponent will work together to defeat me!”
Rei who heard the answer was dissatisfied, despite knowing it was a fact.
"2 against 1, yeah..."
Al is a person who inherits the technique 7 motion of the sun embers are always inherited hereditary on the Al lineage.
In fact, he was the one who could master the 7th Bara of the technique which was said to have been 100 years lost.
For approximately 100 years, no one could master the seventh ember at all. As if the technique disappeared from the world, until Al finally appeared, this is one of the reasons why he was able to enter the ACJ through the invitation.
And I still can't believe that this soul mate of mine is such a great man. Very inversely related to me.
“However, whoever will advance among you. It must be me who takes care of everything.”.
I said that in a tone that tried to insinuate Rei.
Hearing my words, we all laughed. But not with Rei.
“... Yes, even so Al will still help a little.”
It seems like my innuendo worked a little, it currently looks like Rei is putting on a shocked expression.
“Ehhh, am I not helping?”
“Not at all..”.
Everyone laughed again because of my answer, we spent the rest of our night full of laughter. We discussed many things starting from tomorrow's event, about the ACJ, and others
“Oh yes Al, because you entered ACJ, you might be able to class with the famous Wind Princess..”.
“Wind daughter…? Who is he?”
I asked who the Wind Princess was, but because of that question, my friends were confused to see me not knowing who the Wind Princess was.
“You don't know who he is..?”
Rei asked with a serious face.
“No..
I answered casually.
“The wind princess is a nickname for my future schoolmate, Her name is if not mistaken it's Sylphy Hartiningrat!”
Al answered my question.
“Sylphy? The name of the Spirit of the wind.?”
I muttered, equating the name of a woman with the name of the wind spirit. Ahh... What because of her name is she called the Wind Princess?
“Yes, that's because the name is taken from the name of the wind spirit…! And also I heard when he was born, there was a gust of wind coming and opening the hospital window that was previously closed!!”
I read it, it sounded like a fantasy story.
“And therefore, his parents decided to name him by the name of Sylphy, which was taken from the name Spirit of the wind. With the hope that his son can become someone strong and free like the wind.”
It's like a fantasy story.
“And also, Hartiningrat? Is he a descendant of nobility?”
“Yes, she is the daughter of the Yogyakarta Palace.
“Ohh..”.
“It looks like you guys know a lot about him? Is he that famous?”
That little question got me back in the eye of my friends.
“Of course!”
“But I don't know at all about it..”.
“It's because you're lacking Update..”
We laughed together comfortably.
“Yeah, I personally prefer the Ice twins..”
“Ehh really?”
Again I just listen, right now they are talking about Idol only. Is what they're talking about really an idol? I don't know…
I don't think time goes fast. It has been 1 hour since my delay, now only me and Al are still in the coffee shop.
Our other friends have gone home. If it's Rei, he's forced to go home because of my direction, when our friend wants to go home.
“Ehh, but I still don't want to go home...!!!”
“No-no, if you don't go home now, then the chances of you being late tomorrow will be great!! Don't waste my hard work..!”
He just put on a disappointed face to hear my words. Meanwhile, Al and our friends just saw us.
“You need to know, I don't forbid you to stay awake after you get to your house! I just forbid you to be late tomorrow!”
“Really...?”
“Yaa, true! But it would be better if you go straight to bed when you get to your house. That increases your percentage for not coming late!”
He's very difficult to manage.
I stared at Al who was playing his phone with a piece of fries in his hand.
“So…? When are you leaving? Is it okay you're still here?”
He turned his gaze towards me for a moment after hearing my question.
“Tomorrowed, hours 09:00!”
“Jam 9?”
“Yes, the new student reception event at ACJ is held the day after tomorrow! Tomorrow is the day the disciples begin to occupy their respective dorms.”
“So yes..”
“Oh yes, when you want to enter SMP, do not you also receive an invitation from the ACJ? Why did you accept it now?”
Yes, ACJ is not only a place for SMA, but SMP and SD also exist.
“Entah, I don't know either..”.
He answered it casually.
“And also, instead of the academic ability you have, passing the entrance test is not it too difficult.?”.
“Yes, it's true. But I turned it down for my own Chara Development.”
Al had initially just gone silent digesting the meaning of my words, and a while later he looked like he understood the meaning of my words just now…
“So? Then I don't mind it..”.
We continued our respective events, after which I looked at my watch. It's late at night.
“Is it okay you're still here? All preparations are done?”
He smiled at my question.
“Of course it is…! Don't underestimate myself this Sai!”
“Walau traits like this come because I've been hanging out with you for a long time.”.
“Yeah, you're right.., we've been helping each other a long time!”
“Yes, therefore I want to thank you and see you again!”
Al raised his hand and pointed it at me. With the intention to shake hands.
“Yaa, I also want to thank you for the help during this.”
I answered her hand job with a smile.
“... And also, see you again!”
“Yaa..”
...----------------...
I'm on my way back home right now. In the middle of this deserted highway.
“This is an opportunity..” that's what's on my mind. But I broke it.
“Really commendable..”.
After spending some time relaxing on the asphalt, I finally got home…
Parked my motorcycle in the yard and headed for the door. I thought about what would happen after that.
‘I'm definitely locked outside of this’
‘How long is the talk I will hear ya..’
Negative thoughts came and attacked my head. But when I held the doorknob, it was not locked.
“Ehh? Unlocked? Thank goodness...”.
With slow steps, I began to enter the house. The situation in my house is very quiet. Some lights are turned off. Maybe my family's asleep.
“Looks like I'm lucky this time.”
A happy feeling came over me, but it didn't last long.
“Where have you been?”
A voice came to me from behind. Looks like my luck is over.
“Ahh it....., Ehh?”
I looked back, but what I saw was not my parents. But a woman with a black face and wearing all-black clothes was in line with her current face. It's really scary.
And also he looks very suspicious, a liar…?
“What's up?"
He asked like that, whereas I immediately took a few steps back.
“Who are you..?’
But he approached.
“Hey.. to-“.
“Don't come any closer, I warn you this is martial arts expert.”
I gave him a bluff, but he came closer and closer, approached and pointed his hand at me. It's creepy
“Hiii...!!!”
I crossed my arms in front of my head to protect her. But he just grabbed my wrist and pulled it.
“Stop!!”
*Plak!
That guy hit me in the head.
“Whispering! It's late, you're disturbing to know!!”
I peeked a little at that guy, because I felt like I knew that voice. And after clearly seeing her, I finally knew who she was.
“It's me!”
She's my sister, Violet P. Ardhisa.
“Ahh, I guess who.... it turns out you are brother!?”
He looks like he has an upset face.
“No manners! Who do you think I am..?”
Ahh, it seems like he is unconscious.
"Somehow, didn't I tell you to stop wearing black at night, did I?! You can make the hangers know! And also it doesn't match your name!”
“Do not associate something like this with my name, it has nothing to do!!”
"So? Where are mom and dad?”
I turned around and ignored her words.
“They are gone! Maybe I'll come back tomorrow!”
I looked a little at Vio and then back to my own activities.
“So..”.
He was back in his activities. Glassy and remove the skin mask and as usual wear SkinCare. I looked at him lazily because of that.
My brother can be said to be a great man. Even though our level of intelligence is equal.
He was a Stage 5 Esper. He is currently in college. At a university in the capital, Jakarta.
“Oh yes, when did you leave brother…? Your lecture when to start again?”
I asked him.
“Because of one thing, the class I took was delayed 1 week..!”
I only’oh’ ria only.
“You too, go to sleep quickly! Tomorrow's your first day at SMA!”
He seemed to have started fussing at this moment.
“Good..”.
Listening to my brother's words, I went to bed immediately.
...----------------...
A bright morning, having had a pretty rough day before. Looking at the clear sky.
“Alright, hope today smoothly, without obstacles...”.
Dharma Wangsa High School, a high school located in our area. This school is listed in the Favorite category here. And now I'm at the front gate.
“Yosh..!!”
Being in front of the gates of the new school made me very pounding. What kind of people I'll meet later I don't know. Given how hard my Junior High life was, I became a little pessimistic.
I wish I could make a new sheet with no interruptions at all. I peeked a little at my watch. On time as usual.
“Sai...!!”
I looked away, hearing someone call me.
“Yaa....!!”
He waved to me.
“Ohh, Iyan..!!”
He is Rian, commonly called Iyan, he also went into farewell with Al yesterday.
“How are you? Yesterday you went home first huh..?”
“Hehehe, yes that is. You know for yourself how my parents are!”
“True too..”
Iyan and I are quite good friends, he has just boarded Stage 3, before he was just a Stage 2. This is why we are good friends.
Because usually students with a high Stage will look down on students with a low Stage.
“Oh yes, have you seen Reinhard?”
“Oh yes, today he advanced right huh? As a new student representative!”
He said as he held his chin, it seemed like he had just remembered that.
“So have you seen it..?”
I asked back.
He responded by shaking his head and then saying.
“Ehmm, I haven't seen it since yesterday.”.
I responded by nodding.
“So...., then I first yaa, it looks like there are still many things to take care of!”
I left waving. After that I headed to the hall, next to the hall room there was a fairly wide arena with a grandstand of spectators on each side.
Favorite school is great.
“Rei will compete here..?”
I stared carefully at the breadth of this arena. The area is almost as large as a futsal field, or maybe this is indeed a futsal field.
I just went straight to the room in the corner of this arena. And go inside it looking for Rei's whereabouts.
“Rei!! You're already here?”
Once inside, he's not here.
“Where is the child..”
Don't tell me he's late.
I could only sigh while holding my head. Rei is indeed very opposite of me, he can not discipline time. Trouble often comes to him, as if fate prevents him from coming on time.
I don't know that's just the reason he made it so he didn't get bullied, or it did happen. But still, this is a annoying thing, he often makes us wait.
However, it seems like I'm a little used to it now.
The bell rang, at this time the disciples were marching to the entrance ceremony. Because Reinhard and I were different classes, I didn't meet him at all. Don't meet him, just look at him I haven't.
I was again attacked by anxiety.
“How's inI? Where's the kid..”.
This ceremony lasted not too long, probably because the main event was a match in the arena. Everyone seemed to be looking forward to it.
Although I personally want a little more time. My stupid friend seems to be late.
I quickly headed to the room before. He's not there yet.
“Ahh!!! How's this.....!”
I can only scream in frustration.
Suddenly, a call came to my Smartphone. I immediately swiftly took it.
‘Reinhard’ it is the name of the contact written from the person who is calling me at this time.
“This is it..!”
I just answered that call.
“Ah, Hello! Rei's? Where are you now..?”
There was a break from my question with an answer from him.
“A-ahh, h-hello Sa-ii.
“Do not talk! Where are you currently...?”.
“Be-begini I'm currently in-”
“Where?”
I cut his words suddenly
“Police office..”.
The mood suddenly became quiet.
“Ehh...?”
Completely silent, I did not even hear a single voice from Rei after saying that. My head was dizzy, digesting the things that were going on this time.
My wish that wanted today to be smooth, turned into a mess.
“A-what happened? Why are you there, huh!?”
I asked Rei.
“Long the story, the point is I was coincidentally involved in a case and now I am being questioned as a witness.”
“What? How did that happen? What kind of case are you involved in?”
“It doesn't matter! Anyway, I'll be a little late this time, please tell the committee, sorry!”
He hung up the phone immediately, and I could only be silent in this kind of situation. This is not the first time this has happened.
Like I said before, he seemed destined to be late.
From Junior High, Rei often did heroic actions, to thwart an effort of small criminal events that had been rife in this area. Such as mugging, bullying, tasting, and so forth
I was also one of the people he had saved. That incident was the only thing right now that made me still respect him. Putting aside about his nature and personality, Rei was a very good person.
Okay, back to the main problem.
“What should I do now..”.
