"Power from father huh? Hahaha...."
Celis lowered her head while holding her eyes. Her disappointment in herself had no effect.
"In the end, I always get help from people. How long will I be like this? Tomorrow? The day after tomorrow? 1 year? 2 years? I thought I had my own power, I thought I awakened my own power...."
He looked at their corpses and then came to his senses.
"Ahh...I came home to a flood of blood..."
Celis deliberately fell to the ground, sprawled on the floor covered in blood. She stared at the out-of-place lights and the scurrying geckos.
"Is this what it means to go home? Why am I here again? Is this my home?"
Staring blankly upward, confused, wondering what to say after this incident. The house was a mess, the room her parents left her was covered in blood, her parents' secrets were being sought after.
"House?"
Celis covered her eyes with her hands.
"If anxiety could be cured, it would have been 4 years. What, where, when, whatever... The feeling of restlessness and worry without end. Happy or sad, always worried even though there is nothing to think about."
Suddenly, a blank white thought appeared, with a few black cracks at the edges. Celis stood up and regrouped. Ignoring her feelings, she spoke softly.
"Crowded."
At 11:28 WITA, the house was clean and tidy as before. Celis, exhausted, immediately lay down in her own room.
In an unfamiliar garden, a man who was probably the owner was walking home to his motorbike when suddenly there was a sound of falling behind him.
"Durian?!"
He looked for the source of the sound but when he found it, he saw a headless corpse and one finely chopped. He moved away and vomited at the sight.
The next day, during school break, a crowd gathered in the field, circling something in the center.
Celis was scrolling through social media and felt disturbed and then looked outside.
"What's so noisy about?"
Coincidentally, Hella came and greeted Celis.
"Wow, that one."
Celis immediately asked.
"Why is that?"
"Drama."
"What's the problem?"
Celis thought someone wanted to fight.
"It's better to see it directly."
"..."
Celis squeezed through the crowd watching, and Hella casually strolled off somewhere, suddenly arriving in front. Celis then arrived, surprised to see Hella first. Hella smiled faintly in return, and then they watched the girls' argument.
Celis was disappointed with her expectations.
"I thought someone was going to fight earlier. Who are they?"
"They are my classmates, Class 2 Wizard."
Hella pointed to a woman with long hair tied back with her bangs parted in two.
"The one on the left who got into trouble is called Shintia.
Then he pointed again, a woman with short hair with a bit of blonde at the ends.
"The one on the right who is causing trouble is Dea."
Celis was surprised to see that among the many people watching, there was nothing separating them.
"Then why is there no one to separate them?"
"Just look."
On the other hand, Shintia was panicking and couldn't do anything because Dea kept shouting at her.
"You think you're beautiful huh?!!!."
"It's not like that, I mean your hair is nice. It doesn't have to be blonde."
"Noisy!!! You yourself said earlier "your hair looks ugly when it's blonde." like that."
"No. I didn't say anything like that."
"Mouth."
Hearing it made Shintia mentally affected and she talked to herself.
"Why are you like this, Dea? Why have you changed? Why did you shout at me?"
Dea emphasized to Shintia.
"I...hate you."
Shintia ran and slapped Dea in the face. Despite her patience, she became angry too.
"Why Deaa??!! Why are you just saying this now?! Why!!!"
In the midst of their commotion, there was a tall man with long hair walking through the middle, he looked handsome and the people who saw him were amazed like he was someone special at school, not only that, some were even scared just by looking at him.
Those who watched commented.
"Oh isn't that it?"
"Go, Dia!"
"Get lost, beautiful girl with long hair."
"Oh, he's coming."
Shintia saw the man trembling in fear and retreating backwards speaking in her mind.
"What should I do..."
He approached them both and caressed Dea's cheek.
"Why are your cheeks red, Dea?"
From Dea's eyes, she looked embarrassed.
"No, it's okay."
On the other hand, Celis felt like she was watching a soap opera. She pointed to the man and asked Hella.
"Hey, who's that again?"
Celis saw Hella breaking out in a cold sweat, thinking that she wasn't just anyone.
Talking to herself in Celis' mind.
"I didn't even expect to be in Hella's class, I was scared of her."
Hella answered it.
"He is Suo Diha. Famous for his Greenflame power and he was also a former national level karate champion—."
Suddenly, a loud slap rang out, sending Dea flying back. Suo slapped Shintia across the face and pushed her away, shocking Celis, Hella, and the people watching.
According to Hella.
"Shintia probably broke her bones, because she slapped her boyfriend Suo."
Celis remembered the name Suo Diha had heard or seen before, it felt familiar to him.
Remembering that time before fighting Hella, He looked at the big screen and saw Suo Diha's name there.
Suo gripped Shintia's hand like a glass, lifting it up. Shintia yelped in pain and tried to hold him back. Suo tightened his grip, venting his frustration.
"This hand, which hurt Dea."
Shintia was in more pain and screamed loudly, unable to bear the pain, shedding tears then Suo threw Shintia down.
Suo had just left Shintia embracing Dea's shoulders and was suddenly shouted at by Celis who also came to the middle.
"You come only to hurt me and then run away. Is that what you think a hero is? Suo."
Hella was shocked to see Celis go there. Suo returned to face Celis, who was standing behind Shintia.
A smirk appeared on Suo's mouth, showing his high level of confidence.
They looked at each other.
"I heard you're a transfer student, huh? Then what's with those sinister eyes of yours, like the eyes of a girl fighting."
Celis also smiled smirkly showing her courage.
"I heard you're a strong person, huh? Besides, my eyes are like this."
"Who are you? Her friend? Her boyfriend? Or maybe her hero?"
"Yours."
Celis moved forward slightly to find some distance, unleashing a kick technique that curved like a sickle, using the back of his foot to attack Suo's head.
Hella saw him screaming in panic.
Shintia broke out in a cold sweat seeing it.
Suo held back his tears using his arms to cover his head. He casually asked Celis.
"Silat, right?"
Celis let go of her leg and moved away to find some distance.
"Who cares."
Celis turned around to go pick up Shintia.
"Crazy, do you want your hand to hurt all the time?"
Shintia looked left and right in confusion, then looked back at Celis, blinking rapidly. Celis pointed.
"I?"
Celis sighed.
"Come on, wake up, Si-sin... Crazy."
Shintia immediately got angry at Celis.
"Shintia. Bodo."
"Okay, I forgot what it's called. Get up quickly."
"Help me."
Celis opened her arms and raised them. Shintia then woke up and started getting angry again.
"I didn't tell you to pray, you idiot."
Celis lowered her hand.
"Well, you're standing."
Shintia ran out of energy to argue with Celis and decided to keep quiet.
"...."
Suo shouted.
"Oh, the middle part."
Celis looked back.
Suo smiled broadly.
"Let's fight outside."
Celis was shocked to hear that.
"Just set the time, but don't make it at night."
"I'll break your bones."
Dea heard and saw the charm of Ayang alias Suo who was so cool, Dea's face turned red in her mind.
"You are so cool, my dear..."
Celis just looked at her as a response then Shintia tilted her body to look at Dea hesitantly and was actually embarrassed because she was being helped.
Shintia greeted Dea with an uneasy feeling.
"Bye-bye, Dea."
