While we're chatting as we walk to the canteen.
We encountered something that we shouldn't have seen at school.
Everybody that saw it avoid taking the stairs and decided to turn back. It's a group of delinquent girls.
As for me, I'm not afraid at all.
Currently, the group of girls is surrounding one girl.
"Andy, look. It's them. We should stop them from bullying her."
Micheal softly whispered but he was already tucking in his sleeves and get ready to fight the girls.
It's the lioness girls group, my mortal enemy.
"Hey, orphan girl! don't you dare approach Kervin again."
"Look at yourself, how dare you talk to him."
"I bet your dad, didn't even teach you that if you touch a man hand for a minute you'll get pregnant."
"Oh wait you don't have a dad."
Now I finally remembered why I hate Kervin and the lioness group again.
That girl... the one being surrounded.
She was the girl that kept following Kervin from behind.
If I'm not wrong, her name was Yulia, yeah this one I can remember quite well. Even without the previous Andy's help.
How can I forget about her?
I'll talk about her later. Right now I should stop them as fast as I could.
"Let's go! Before they started to hurt her."
In Micheal's perspective, bullying people means attacking people. So attacking the lioness group is the same as bullying.
Right... previously I'm a hero that wants to save the damsel in distress.
Because of the rumors that are spreading, and the stress that I have accumulated.
It made me not think rationally anymore.
Then I finally bully people for real like taking others' pocket money.
Even so, I'm still considered as a lower-level bully compares to these girls.
This is not bullying anymore, this is violence. Mine is just... um, stealing.
"Hey stop it!"
I pushed them away from Yulia, with my giant body I easily overshadowed them.
"Leave her alone!"
Micheal and I glared at them fiercely, one of them accidentally squeaked out with fear.
"Hah, look your boyfriend came."
"Just stay with him and stop bothering Kervin."
With me around, the girls quickly left as they can't do anything.
"You're okay?"
Yulia nodded her head.
"You're as reckless as ever. Why did you approach Kervin even though you knew that this will happen?"
I spoke to her strictly as though I'm an adult who's lecturing their children.
Last time, I didn't speak to her like this as the previous Andy was too flustered to talk to her normally. The main reason was that it was a girl.
But since it was now me, I will make sure to lecture her properly.
"You won't understand."
Yulia replied coldly. As she replied she went and pick up the notebook that was stepped by the lioness group. It was destroyed very badly.
Even though she didn't answer me, more or less, I knew the answer by looking at her.
"What question you want to ask? Maybe I know the answer?"
"You could?"
Yeah, she didn't approach Kervin because she has a crush on him or anything,
It's because she wanted to ask questions regarding some subjects since Kervin is smartest child in the class.
"This one. Explain it to me."
Yulia handed me the ripped paper. It was dirty but I can still read the content.
It was math.
Indeed, the recent topic explained by Mr.Ridwan, is a bit rushed, can't help it since they need to rush due to too many holidays and the final exam is also coming.

Without a problem, I explained everything to her but she kept coming with more questions.
For some reason, it even turned into another subject, it's not about math anymore.
Only after the bell ring, did she stop, if not I think this could continue until nighttime.
"Thanks for answering my questions and sorry for taking your break time."
"No problem I have eaten my breakfast so I'm fine. Micheal, you're fine too right?"
"Um, yes. of course."
Micheal was forced to answer yes because of me.
'I haven't eaten since morning...'
I'm sorry Micheal I'll compensate you next time.
"I see. Next time, can you stay back? I have a few more questions left."
Yulia shamelessly asked me to stayed back, this shows how diligent she was in studying.
"Sure. I have nothing to do anyway. Moreover, I'm learning too as I answer your questions."
While both of us are chatting, Micheal who was standing on the side intervened.
"Just so you know, after the break time, It's Mr.Ridwan's class."
...
Instantly, we stopped talking and went back to our class. as quickly as possible to avoid being late.
Yulia sat in her own seat and was very quiet as usual. She only speaks when she needs to.
Now let's talk about her.
From what previous Andy remembers, she was constantly bullied by the lioness group just because he's approaching Kervin. Not only that, but the reason she was bullied was in fact because of Kervin.
Kervin was annoyed by Yulia's questions so he decided to ask the girls to keep her away from him.
However, Yulia didn't know that. In Yulia's eyes, the lioness group was a group of girls that's jealous of her and they're the villainesses.
But actually it was Kervin who is the mastermind, who is behind the suffering of Yulia. Kervin was pretending to be a nice guy and answer some of Yulia's questions from time to time but for each question he answered, he will ask his lackey to bully her.
That's how disgusting Kervin was, which is the primary reason why I hate him.
Yulia could ask the teachers for help but she felt bad taking away the teacher's break time. After all, the teacher works harder than the students. They talk in front of the class, explaining to others while she was only sitting and listening.
Sigh*
She's such a good girl.
Other than that, from what I know, regarding how the lioness group mocks her about her father.
Her father did pass away but she still has her mother, so she's not an orphan.
Her life could be considered as bad as mine. She has a poor family and also has single parent raising her.
With that, she definitely cannot afford to go for tuition.
Since she cannot bother her mother to help her study due to how tired she was, she can only ask someone else and that someone else was either Kervin and sometimes she will ask the teacher but only if the teacher has the time.
The reason I remembered her past perfectly was not without a reason.
I always used her as a comparison to myself too when I finally realized how pathetic I am.
I was amazed at her and frustrated at myself. Her starting point was about the same as me, yet she was successful and I was not.
While I was working as a cashier, I heard the news of her on television, one of the richest woman in the world that own a huge company.
Her appearance in television woken me up which motivates me to make the first decision of my life.
She could be said as a savior of mine as she was the reason I became successful in my past life.
"Andy."
"Andy, pssh~"
Micheal tapped my table while whispering to me something.
"Look in front of you!"
In front of me.
Ah... A giant figure was standing in front of me and I didn't notice him.
"Good Morning, Mr.Ridwan."
"Uh, I was thinking about something."
"Good Morning my ass. Stand in the hallway!"
...
Only after the class was about to end, I was called by Mr.Ridwan again.
"Try and answer these questions, I believe you could hear my voice while standing in the hallway."
Yes, I could but who would listen to your voice while standing in the hallway?
[What are natural resources?]
"Natural resources are resources that could be obtained from nature and they're used or seen in our daily life."
...
...
After answering a few more of his questions the class ended, Mr.Ridwan was satisfied with my answer so he didn't punish me any further.
On the other hand, if I couldn't answer, I think I wouldn't be able to attend the next class.
The next class is the art class. Hearing the word 'art', it reminded me of the time when I first learned drawing as an Indie developer.
As an indie developer that has no money, I can't hire an artist to draw for me.
I can only either use other people's works that I attained rightfully or I draw them myself.
I feel like I could enjoy the art class despite it's a primary class subject.
It's because I still have more to learn when it comes to drawing.
Though I could draw, I would say my drawings are only mediocre.
"Kids, bring out your drawing book. Feel free to draw anything you can think of."
"Anyone forgot to bring their drawing book, go and purchase them right now."
"I will mark your drawing and it will be your test score."
Miss Fitri announced to the students.
After she finished her announcement, she brings out her laptop and does her work without checking on the students.
Some students ran out to buy their drawing book, or so what it seems to be.
Some of them are gathering together and draw in a group.
Since she said that it will be marked, she expected that the students were aware that it's important. So, she just focuses on doing her work while letting the children run free in the class.
"What will you draw?"
Micheal asked me as he was holding his drawing book.
She didn't give us any theme to draw on so what should I draw?
"I'm not sure."
"How about the toy car you received from Mr.Ridwan? Did you brought it?"
"Yeah, it's in my bag."
I brought out the car from my bag and put it on the table.
Afterward, we used it as a reference, transferring what we see into the paper.
Both of us started drawing.
An hour passed and I finally finished my drawing. There's still one more hour left.
I closed my drawing book and submit it to the teacher.
There's nothing more to add to my drawing, so it's fine to submit it early. I've done my best to make it as realistic as possible.
Let's see how is Micheal doing.
I went over to Micheal's side, looking at his drawing I accidentally laughed out loud.
"What?"
"N-nothing."
I guess this is how normal children draw a toy car by seeing it directly. His drawing is disastrous.
He wanted to keep it 3D but they're not in line what so ever.
Micheal should have done better if he did it in 2D.
"Why are you laughing... is it that bad?"
"Hahaha, I'm sorry but yours is too funny."
Puffing out his cheeks, Micheal throws a tantrum and submit it to Miss Fitri. It was too tiring, he doesn't want to do it anymore.
"Let's go and see other people drawing!"
Micheal basically wanted to make fun of other drawings too but because of how honest he is, he ended up complimenting others.
"Your drawing is pretty!"
"Yours is pretty too!"
"The flowers look beautiful!"
"Is this your family?"
"Wow!"
...
...
Ding-Dong*
"Submit your drawing book now, it's time to go home."
At the end of the class, Micheal cried at his desk as he finished looking at everyone drawing. He realized that his drawing was the ugliest.
Sniff*
"I hate drawing!"
"There, There, don't cry anymore."
"Yes, um, have you ask your mother?"
With changing the topic, In just a second, he became cheerful again. I didn't think that it will work so well.
"Yeah, my beloved mother agreed to it! Since I told her that I hate going to tuition, she allows me to let you teach me."
"More importantly, she will also pay you if I'm doing well in my study!"
"I can't wait to visit your house..."
"We can start studying today! Yay!"
