Lying on a soft mattress and doing nothing. What a beautiful Sunday.
"Brother! You don't want to go anywhere?" asked Alicia who suddenly leaned against my bedroom door.
"No, thank you."
"I want to go shopping and watch a movie that's all the rage right now. You don't want to come with me?"
"No, thank you."
"If you don't want to leave the house, at least do something. Haven't you written down what you want to do today?"
Alicia walked over to my study table, picked up the paper that was lying on it.
"Is this the schedule?" She asked, reading the contents of the paper.
Her sweet face instantly folded, pouting. "What the hell is this? It lists 20 activities you want to do today. But all of them are written 'do nothing'. If it's like this why are you writing it down?"
I didn't answer, staring blankly out the bedroom window. "The weather's fine, isn't it?"
"Huh... So you're not going to do anything?" She gave up on asking me to come with him.
"Since you don't want to accompany me, I'll be leaving in a while with my friends. Don't forget to lock the door, okay?" Alicia asked, getting out of my sight.
"Yes."
However, I didn't realize at the time that my decision not to go with her would have such a big effect.
[The next day]
Why did Sunday go by so quickly?
I didn't really enjoy my day off because of an incident.
God! I beg you to return my vacation!
Now, gym class is in progress, Mr. Roy plans to test all of our physical strength.
And this is like hell for me to be told to run around a sports field that is almost as big as a football stadium.
The students were divided into groups of 5 people for this running test.
"Aray, immediately get into your position!" shouted Mr. Roy from beside the starting line.
Looks like my turn has come. I stepped towards the starting line, glanced at Mr. Roy for a moment, and then prepared with the other 5 people, taking a stance.
"Ready ... "
Everything is ready.
"Ready ... "
We lifted our buttocks signaling ready to run, putting on serious faces.
"Start!"
We started running.
The other students standing on the sidelines were watching us intently.
If it's like this I will be ashamed. At least I should be in 3rd place. However, after only a few steps running I gasped and fell.
"Huh... Huh... Huh..."
So tired.
The female students who saw me fall started screaming, while Pak Roy immediately ran to me.
"Oi, Aray! Are you all right?" he asked, shaking me.
I opened my eyes slowly.
"Ha? Yes. I'm fine." I was surprised to see the students gathered around me, curious.
Mr. Roy looked at me with pity. "I didn't know you had such a weak body."
"Sorry. I never exercise."
The girls' faces looked like they were really worried about me, in contrast to the boys who were laughing out loud.
They don't understand anything.
"If you're not strong enough, rest on the sidelines."
"Understood, Sir."
Monday really sucks.
Alvarado who saw what just happened ran up to me who was sitting on the edge of the field, greeting,
"You're really weak, aren't you?"
Very wise opening words.
"What are you saying?" I am offended.
"Ah... I mean it's your body. Your body is so weak."
Seeing my displeased expression, Alvarado corrected his sentence, scratching his head that didn't itch.
I'm a little calmer now.
"Eh, Aray. Have you heard of 'The 10 Rulers'? They say they are the most talented students in this school."
"They call themselves that weird name? They should be ashamed." Honestly, I don't like it.
But about those 10 people, I've heard recently.
"Well... They didn't call themselves that. The students did it."
"Oh." My reply was short.
"I heard the first rank is Devdan, the 1st year student and student council president."
I don't deny it. If there was a rank, it was clear that he would be the first.
Ability to control time.
How sly.
"And I heard again that all members of 'The 10 Rules' are also part of the student council or at least they have served as student councilors because they are not only from class 2, from class 3 there are also." Alvarado sucked in a breath, cutting off his explanation.
"But they said there were only nine of them because one of the members was expelled from school." he continued.
I listened carefully.
It's quite interesting, but it also annoys me at the same time.
"These ten people are directly under the principal's authority. So it looks like the principal is looking for a new member for the 10th position."
And I think she found it.
[Sunday, Evening]
The ringing of the phone rang loudly in my ears. Very ... very annoying.
Actually, that annoying tone has been ringing since 5 minutes ago continuously, but due to rampant laziness, I can't pick it up.
Just messing up my activities.
With 1% motion percentage and 99% practical ability, the mobile phone flew up from the top of my study table, moving gently towards the bed, in my hand to be exact.
For a moment I thought of Alicia who hasn't come home yet. What is this call from her? I saw the name listed on the screen of the cellphone.
Alicia.
It turned out to be her.
The sound of the phone being connected rang in my ears until the middle-aged woman's voice sounded annoying,
"Hello, Aray."
Before I even made a sound she had spoken, and of course, she wasn't Alicia.
"Who is this?" I asked a little warily.
"Oh? You don't remember me? Even though we just met a few days ago. Sorry for the previous meeting, I was too rude." Her voice is rather thin and light. A girl.
"Miss Daiva," she whispered. Maybe she couldn't hear it.
"So true."
"What are you doing? Where's Alicia?"
"Your sister? Ah... She's fine. At least only a few ropes are tying her, making her unable to move..." She explained casually.
Hearing that, my emotions were ignited. But a question popped into my head. Why didn't Alicia burn the rope and then run away?
" ...and the rope has the function of sealing his abilities."
Very clearly answered.
"Hm... then?" I asked coldly.
"Relax. I won't hurt her if we agree on a few things."
"Ha? I don't need anything like that. I'll be by your side before you even know it and punch that stupid face of yours."
"Haha... You don't even know where I am, and you're threatening me? What a fool. Before you find me, your sister could be killed at any moment."
This person doesn't know who I am and what I can do. Even though yesterday I told you the big picture... how stupid.
Can't find her whereabouts? If I really can't, this imagination ability is no doubt just a display, and it's better to just die burying yourself now.
"If that happens, you'll be killed next," I continued, making fake threats, trying to follow the flow of the game.
"It's useless. Killing me or killing how many people won't bring your sister back."
I fell silent. I should have threatened better than that.
"Huh..." I took a deep breath, pretending to stabilize my emotions. "So what do you want?"
"I want you to join the royal army."
"What do you mean?"
"Essentially you're going to work for the king. For starters, you can join in
'The 10 Rulers'."
"What kind of stupid group is that?"
I mean it from the bottom of my heart that the name of the group is trash, it has no art. I mean, is there any meaning behind the name?
"Don't be like that... since you're going to join, you should at least be friends with them."
"Join? I didn't say yes."
"Oh? Then I'll hurt her little by little."
Huh ... even chimpanzees will know if this hypocritical woman is lying. However, I will follow the game longer,
"Don't you dare touch her one bit."
"So how? Want to join? Or .... " She hung his sentence.
I thought for a moment. If she asked me to join the royal army, it would be of great help to me in several ways that I cannot name.
I have lived all this time waiting for certain moments like this to come to me. Since I wanted to join the royal army from the start, nepotism was faster than taking the military entrance exam, and it was very inconvenient.
So, after much thought, here's my answer, "Okay. I'll join."
Daiva smiled, I could feel it. However, later on, when I joined her, the smile would soon disappear from her ugly face. Even though she's not bad, I'll make sure that smile will fade.
"The right decision. For more information, I'll call you tomorrow." After that, she disconnected the call.
I put my cell phone on the table and threw myself onto the soft sofa, relaxing lazily before Alicia came back.
A few moments later there was a knock on the door.
Knock! Knock! Knock!
Is that Alicia? I activated my invisibility eye, looked out of the house, and ... it was true.
At the door, Alicia stood looking restless for reasons I didn't know and didn't want to know of course. Carrying the bag in her hand, Alicia looked very tired.
"Wait a minute...." I said, teleporting to the front door of the house.
When opening the door, "I'm home!" She said cheerfully, intending to cover up her anxiety with her hypocrisy.
I looked at her whole body without any ill will, and there was not the slightest wound. I pretended to ask,
"You are okay?" Put on a worried expression.
"Ha? Shouldn't I have told you that? Did your brain shift from sleeping too much?" She gently nudged my shoulder, passing me just like that.
Only this time he had no morals.
"Weren't you being held captive or something?" I asked again on purpose.
"What do you mean? Who would dare to do that?" Alicia glared at me.
"Headmaster?" I shrugged my shoulders in disbelief.
"You're rude. She is a good person. I did meet her earlier after coming home from playing with my friends. I was also a little surprised because she greeted me first, but she only asked me to have dinner with her," Alicia explained at length.
I smiled but laughed heartily. Alicia who noticed the change in my expression immediately asked,
"Why are you smiling? Very unusual," she whispered in confusion.
I quickly wiped the small smile off my face, walked past Alicia while replying, "No. You don't have to think about it."
I was cheated? By the old lady? Don't expect that to happen even if the universe and everything in it are turned upside down.
"Hahaha...." Without realizing it, a small laugh escaped my mouth.
Alicia shook her head looking at me towards the room, praying to God,
"I hope he's not crazy."
