Chapter V: Come Towards the Hope

*ೃ༄

Ren hated going to school during weekend, seriously Surabaya Cultural School still crowded despite being semester breaks--their teachers might ask why the fuck they're heading to the schools' building. They had to wear their school clothes, which is just a sport shirt with dark navy blue shorts with white sneakers. He also knew that lately, because he need to find the guy named Shūhei Hebi and Izumo hinted that he have heard of his name in their school--which means he was a student in IB Middle Years Programme (MYP) during these events--but where to find his first or second class notes; maybe his personal records would help. "So, this kusogaki is a fifteen-years old, huh?"

Kaizo muttered, entering the building of MYP class where the students greeted them. "Riyanda! You got your new hair already?" one of the students greeted him with a smile, before Ren smiled forcefully. "It's... my real hair color, that was just a blonde dye," he answered, knowing that those students around him or even in the whole campus have become more... open-minded--for Indonesians and expatriates; yet the teachers also being chill and doesn't get pressured with works. "Do you guys know Shūhei Hebi?" Hakuren asked, folding her arms.

"Oh, Shūhei? He's talking with his friends in the park."

They headed to the courtyard, where there are a lot of students (expat and Indonesian, especially mostly male) gathering at the cafeteria, courtyard and the rooftop. Ren sighed softly, before he became a President in Student Council back then--he always had a carefree and relaxed life during his studies with his friends. Now that he became a fucking President (plus Kaizo became a Vice-President, Izumo being a Treasurer and lastly Hakuren is the Secretary) in the Student Council, he looks like he can't even rest with them and keep nagging people about what is discipline and such. 'And yes, I finally came clean about my identity to almost everyone around me during MYP,' Ren thought to himself.

"So this is... Shūhei?"

Shūhei Hebi; the fifteen-years old student of MYP was talking with his friends with several jokes, before he shrieked to see four Student Council members in front of him. He has a light orange messy short hair with purple-red streaks along small 'wave' on both sides and bangs almost covering his purple-colored eyes, along fair complexion and quite short as hell. He wears a standard uniform of Surabaya Cultural School, with exception that it looks disheveled from his white formal shirt, dark blue tie, dark navy blue blazer and short khaki pants reaching his knees--he also wears a purple socks with dark brown shoes.

Ren cleared his throat, seeing how messy his uniform looks. "Do you mind if we can talk for a minute or two? You may proceed to go home afterward," he inquired as he crossed his arms, he has no time for any funny or pointless activity--not even being dramatic. "Y-Yes, Mr. President! What would you like to discuss with me?" he stuttered a bit, looking nervous. His voice is mid-tone, but he sounded softer compared to his physical appearance. They walked out from the crowd of students, heading to the inside the library because it's a private talk and he wanted some privacy. 'Just gain his trust, so he won't be afraid... besides we're looking for another positions in Student Council after all...'

Ren thought, before he smiled politely at him. "We're currently opening for recruitment of freshmen as our position in Student Council. Well, our duty ends when we reached twelfth grade, so... I don't want to be too strict on you about dressing code, even when I'm the president. But yes, whatever the mess is; you gotta work with your homeroom," he explained, knowing that his class is shitty at first and second years. Shūhei was smiling, his face glowing and his eyes sparkling in a gleam of hope as if he has been so excited to hear that good news. "Really?! What position I'll be having in Student Council?" he questioned, he seemed childish and innocent at first glance but it was proven wrong when he realized he could find a way to be in the club due to his performance in sports as an athletics type.

"Hmm... do you have experience in leading your class in the past?"

He always test his candidate, depending on what level of leader they're capable to lead their own study team--like a team work when it comes to assignments. "I do, in seventh grade I usually put my study assignment group to plan everything for the project for science classes. But ninth grade, I used math and chemistry classes--even the competition but I wasn't chosen due to the votes, then it just occurred to me of history class so I'm not a strict person," Shūhei explained with a smile.

Ren glanced at Kaizo, Izumo and Hakuren if they wanted to say something but since they're okay--it's obvious that he is qualified. "Okay then, we'll see your performance and abilities in certain tasks. Once you impress us, we'll assign you to take the remaining spot in this union," he replied, besides there's some questions that he want to ask him regarding the guy named Hakusan Kobe--but he decided not to mention that bastard. Right now, it's the time for them to leave and Shūhei grinned to himself. 'This is fun... I always wanted to become one of the student counselors!' he thought excitedly, despite Ren's intimidating appearance and personality that scares off almost everyone. "Can I bring my friends here too?" he asked.

"Not so fast," Kaizo reminded Shūhei, raising his eyebrows. "But first, don't get your hopes up if you wanna be friends with us--we're the Student Councils, so make sure you won't disappoint us." he warned, looking at him with a hard and stern glare that is full of aura of a bad omen. "As for your friends, we'll be holding an event to test all of your competence and cooperations--gather all of them and make sure they're capable, Shūhei Hebi..." this sent chills down to his spine, including some students who stared at them. "We have some questions for you, but it's out of the Union's business. Have you heard a name... Hakusan Kobe?" he questioned.

Shūhei tilted his head, showing a nervous grin on his face. "Hakusan Kobe? Uhh... I don't know him, nor my friends--is there anything wrong? Anyway, no need to take it personal, right?" he replied, Ren thought that he couldn't answer for a few seconds. So he knew of him? Maybe, but to the point that the man didn't reveal his appearance or his purpose. " We're worried that something might happen to you, or you may know something that we don't know either. Well, welcome to the Student Council; that is, if you're qualified for a training schedule," he explained.

"Yay! I'm safe!"

Shūhei almost cried of joy, now that's a sign that he really get to be a part of their team, which he quickly grabbed his belongings (his books) that needed to be put on the shelves and organized them. Finally, Ren found a candidate and he need to find MORE! There has to be more! His life was so easy and simple, living happily ever after is so cliché and boring like fuck--that's why he won't go down without a fight, no matter how dangerous they are. Now, time to find another--wish him the best of luck.

Kaizo was looking for another candidates as well, he doesn't like the idea of nepotism since Ren told him not to make it obvious--but his intention of finding the perfect candidate was an admirable thing since anyone can't see the hidden motive underneath. 'Shūhei is completely a child and I'm not buying it, that smile he made... it looks very familiar,' he thought when they encountered him, now he's determined to do more shit. Seeing that expression while he is a teenager before they got accepted as Student Council, he tried to find any connections.

So, he decided to take out the list of students in MYP and studied their ID pictures one by one. Then, when he reached the name when a certain image popped out from his head--is he seeing things? But yeah, the person that looked eye-catching made him searching for that fifteen-years old MYP student named Shiro Fujitora. The student has a short white hair with black streaks similar to white tiger, golden-purple eyes with segmental heterochromia and pale complexion. Wearing the same standard uniform as Shūhei's, with the only difference is they're slightly different in color (silver tint for his jacket) and his pants reaching his knees instead.

He entered the classroom without the teacher, since they have no class until 15:00 which they greeted him. "Yo, Kaizo! Did you enjoy the sunny day from the sky?" one of them greeted him, making a fake move of holding a sword and getting sliced on his neck. "Save that for later, I'm just looking for a student here--his name is Shiro Fujitora. Can you find him for me?" he questioned, making the students immediately nod before they check it on their notebook--knowing that Kaizo comes for a good reason and respect him for what he's doing. He may be seen like the second-in-command of Student Council, while Izumo is the first person who has equal duty with Ren and be his consultant along the way and Hakuren is in charge for disciplinary officers and responsible of their report; aka student affairs.

Ren was still searching the clue about Hakusan Kobe when he was searching around the school buildings and the courtyard, he told Izumo, Hakuren and Kaizo to keep an eye on Shūhei and also the other students; in case something happened. He saw one of his colleague friends, known as Konami Yuzuki--the seventeen years old second-year student like him was talking with one of her friends. She has a long auburn hair with long bangs over her magenta-red eyes and cheeks, she has porcelain complexion and wears a standard Surabaya Cultural School uniform like the rest of them.

"Konami."

Konami jumped when Ren called her, as she frowned at him. "For god's sake, Riyanda... you need to remind me that whenever you appeared behind me. By the way, thank you," she retorted, he nodded in response. "I'm just asking if you're still not busy with the homework, and if you want to go sightseeing?" he asked, because Kaizo has convinced him to bring their friends too in the mission as the back up since now the threats are increasing about this mysterious Hakusan Kobe recently. "Uhh... you know, I'm a transfer student right? I... got no place to stay, only an inn and..."

This made Ren's jaw dropped like a surprise came upon him as if he was betrayed, he blinked for several times and he can ACTUALLY buy a house for her with his money--but it must be under his name (what, you think they're going to marry? Nah bro) "No, you don't have to. Seriously, I'll help you, apparently some students like Shūhei and Shiro also fucking homeless or don't have a place to stay so we got a mess for you guys," he said calmly, while inside his mind was raging of excitement and mischievous intentions.

'They're as independent as everyone else, even though we're rich--damn Kaizo must be doing something to them without trying to boast it in every fucking ten seconds...'

"Thanks Ren! I'm so sorry for making you do the favor!"

Konami apologized, while smiling cheerfully that Ren had to pretend to be smiling. Hell, he knew that he just need to trust them while also giving them privacy--sometimes they're not going to tell their problems of theirs to anyone without expecting money for compensation, which would ruin everything if he never even think about it. "Konami! There you are!" Shūhei greeted her as he arrived, with his pompous grin. "Yo Shūhei, you're so fresh than a fruit out of trees!" she greeted, before Shiro sighed softly. "We... really need help, because we need a place to stay too--but since Ren is so kind and generous with his amazing heart of a gentleman," Shiro said as he snickered, before Shūhei shrieked to see Kaizo and Izumo are here with Hakuren. "Alright, brats! Since we have no class until four in the fucking afternoon, let's get shit ready! Not helping too... is the best decision you make when you wanted to earn something. This is only a friendly reminder, and if you think of using this to get fame..."

"Okay!"

Few hours later...

Now, what left to go? This time, Shiro asked the four of them help because a certain friend named... the characters from William Shakespeare's greatest play or whatever that name looks so unfamiliar. Can't say the name, but can you take a guess what the fuck are they talking about? Ren was so fucking patient but deep down he was screaming of annoyance since they're wasting their time for fucking nonsense shit, Kaizo was silent while trying not to be a killjoy and yet their friend doesn't give a damn fuck and Hakuren just waiting in front of a store for them to finish. "So, his name is Heinrey?"

Shiro nodded, before he sighed. "It's hard to explain, but he's part of the Māra race and Seven Deadly Generals--the blood-drinkers, vampires... he's different. We found out that those people, the deities... are the real traitors and they're forcing their own people--aka gods into mass brainwashing and control," he explained, making Hakuren facepalmed. "Can we like... deal with it later?" she asked, and luckily for her--Ren (finally) calmed himself down and regained his composure. "I'm not a pushover either," Ren said, clearing his throat.

Time to go back to Floating Restaurant of the Gods, that's what Ren wanted to do--he need a break and tell Sakura about this; the God of Rebirth must've been excited for the new customers and he just wanted to rest from all of these annoying work that's ruining his mood. He sighed, knowing that he shouldn't let them make him pissed too much... he must be humble. "Let us know if you encounter Hakusan Kobe, he's been our target... please make yourself at home."

Izumo said with a smile, before he excused himself. "By the way, can we enter the Student Council without any examinations?" Shiro asked, Raizo nudged his elbow at Shiro before he smirked. "Wait for our signal if we already chose you, man... we're not doing nepo-hire bullshit," he said, Shūhei snorted while cracking up of laughter. Ren was the last one that left with a weak smile on his face. 'Oh my God... don't give them false hope... which is good...' Hakuren thought.

Few hours later...

Konami pondered why she had to deal with these two friends, even when she's the eldest (for Shūhei and Shiro) of these two. Now, she had to keep an eye on these MYP students since she's a DP students in Surabaya Cultural School's high education level (since she's quite young and might turn eighteen like Ren and his friends too). Now, what the fuck is going on?! Why is these boys so crazy for a promotion to Student Council after being a member? Konami wasn't interested to become one, the Japanese-Indonesian student unpacked her belongings in her bedroom of the mess house--before she yawned. "Man... I need a fresh air at night..."

Konami muttered, walking down the stairway to the living room as she ambled like a zombie tired from work. Since it has like six bedrooms in the mess house, only three of them inhabited the three bedrooms. "Ah, Konami. Are you going to sleep now? I'm going to buy foods and groceries," Shiro informed her while wearing an apron, makes him look like a housewife. "I can't sleep, so... I need a night walk for a moment or two," she muttered, her mind was full of distractions as they may be caused by either from that man. "Okay, be careful!" Shūhei said from his laptop, which he had to re-write the essay written for SL Bahasa Indonesia while translated it.

Konami stretched her arms as she was walking down the path to the neighborhood of the town, the Japanese-Indonesian wondered if there's a way to bring peace to the land and prosperity for all. She tip-toed along the way to look around the view, until she encountered a tall young man with short blonde hair with long bangs almost covering his red eyes, his bangs also has brown tips on them--and his complexion is pale. He wears spectacles, but sometimes he removes them and stares right into her eyes. He wears a white collared shirt with his sleeves rolled to his elbows, orange vest and red tie, black pants that rolled neatly to below his knees, and lastly black-orange striped socks with black and orange laced shoes--he also wear a black scarf and bracelets with silver rings, he even has piercings on his both ears.

A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.

'Wait, is this... Shiro's friend? Who is he again?'

Konami thought, realizing that the figure was walking on THIS way which made her yelped--he noticed it and made a move by grabbed her collar, slamming her body against the nearby building wall to keep her quiet and making a hushing gesture with his index finger over his mouth to not make a loud noise. "Be quiet," he whispered, making her nodded in fear... she sensed some 'threatening' presence. Konami sensed an eerie aura coming from the young man who holds her and making her so frightened, something about him is off and she remembered Shiro's words.

Their eyes widened when they saw Phantom Beast is lurking around the path, while they were hiding in the alleyway--watching every moves of the creature before completely leaving the area. The man sighed, releasing her mouth and stepping back from her. "I heard you must be Konami Yuzuki?" he asked, making Konami blinked before she nodded. "Y-Yeah... it's me, how did you know my name? Who are you?" she asked him.

"Heinrey."

Wait, THIS GUY IS HEINREY? THE ONE THAT SHIRO IS TALKING ABOUT! 'OH GOD I THOUGHT HE'S THE ANNOYING SORT OF GUY,' Konami thought, staring at the man named Heinrey was at. "Well well, darling," Heinrey started with a snarky grin, before he brushed her long auburn hair--revealing her neck. "Mind if I can drink your blood, for a bit?" he asked, although he wanted to say more because he's super thirsty, Konami's blood scent and how attractive she looks; like what the hell? Is this a vampire thing? "U-Uhm... okay?" she replied nervously, since this is the first time she got asked like that.

He lifted her chin before he lean down to her neck, his fangs pierced her fair skin until the blood started leaking to her white blouse and the bleeding went to his throat--he was supposed to limit his thirst because that might kill her, but seriously... the taste is so sweet. Konami closed her eyes rapidly, biting her lower lips to suppress her scream which she can't control herself but how this guy is so damn irresistible. 'W-Why am I enjoying this?!'

Konami screamed in her mind, not bothering to struggle and tried to wiggle herself; of course it failed. She wondered why her friends should trust this strange guy, because suddenly he pulled away from her neck--making her panting with pale but flushed cheeks. "Sorry, I get easily lost of control sometimes..." Heinrey apologized, licking the remaining blood before closing the wound and pressed a finger to his own mouth, indicating that everything must be a secret because this is forbidden. "You have a place to stay or something? I need to rest so bad..."

Heinrey questioned, since he's pretty much new in this city of Surabaya. "Me and my friends have been living in a mess house... you can come with me," she replied as she composed herself, walking with him to the mess house while walking past a mansion. Suddenly, she felt the bite mark slowly regenerated--she was confused but she choose to not mention it since she didn't know if he will do it again or not. Shiro finished preparing the dinner, before he was surprised to see Konami came with... his friend Heinrey. "Heinrey? Where have you been?!" he asked, seeing Konami slumped on the couch which made Shūhei shrieked to see her slumped like a ragdoll!

"Shiro... is the dinner ready yet?"

Konami asked, groaning a bit of a slight headache and mild sore neck. Shiro raised his eyebrow, wondering why she sounded like she has a hangover and drunk as hell. 'How did she end up like that?' he thought, before his face went red because he KNEW Heinrey is bloodthirsty at unpredicted times. "S-Sure! B-But... where have you been exactly?" Shiro questioned. He knew this 'pals' have been together for months now, and things become obvious that Konami always get dragged into weird shit by him. "He's going to stay with us too."

He didn't hesitate to prepare the food to Heinrey while talking to Shūhei and Konami, this made him wondered because his friend never showed up for sometimes--and for the two of them, there are secrets... keeping secrets was not fun for all. "So, about this Hakusan Kobe guy... the more we gather here; we noticed that he tried to track or search for you, Shūhei," Konami muttered, which made him shudder in fear as she watched the view out the window--seeing nothing in the house across the road. This man who wants to kill them or... maybe it was a mistake for killing those people whose blood are inside the person. "What did I do?!"

Shūhei whined, after the incident of Hakuren almost got killed by Hakusan--he was starting to get scared for his own life and scared to involve his friends if they wanted to help him. Although Ren told them that they'll be fine as long his friends are here for Shūhei's safety because this means their potential opponents were getting closer. They decided to deal with that later, knowing it might getting even more fucked up once they took it--that's for another time. There are many enemies to count... what sort of situation they will be ended in?

Konami was curious of Heinrey, he also doesn't like sunlight due to the rays causes his health to gradually reduce--he then explained that he is 'not really' a mortal but his heritage may be some parts human since he doesn't die from the mortality rate, even by the mere daylight or drinking a few amount of mortal blood. The Māra was part of his ancestry, his parents are deceased and only half of their blood filled his vein, due to the curse caused by his ancestor... Shiro told her everything that she needed. 'So... he got half vampire and part immortal by his ancestor, the Māra... is part of the seven generals, these Generals are half Gods and part Deities? Is there a way to cure this curse he got?'

After that, Ren was busy with serving the customers in the Floating Restaurant along with his friends as the owner--he finally able to eat his favorite pork noodle soup after finishing his shift and the paycheck has been given enough for his spending money and school activities, probably would be enough for an hour of rent per week. "Man... the food is very delicious! I like this town," one of the customers said, smiling. Sakura groaned with a satisfied stomach as if he hasn't eaten in days. "I don't why the gods in this hell of a restaurant love to eat here, let alone staying here so they can earn extra," he grunted.

The next morning...

Mr. Rudy Winata is an Indonesian teacher who taught both SL and HL Bahasa Indonesia in both MYP and IB class, he was a secondary teacher while Mrs. Chandra Sukamuljo is absent and will return for two weeks. At first, Ren didn't really pay attention as the Chinese-Indonesian find him... quite new--like why some female students liked him? Let alone male students who feels the urge to follow him as well. "You might not know who is he, but he used to be my history teacher starting from my previous school," Ren muttered, making Izumo surprised to see their history teacher today is... this 'good-looking' man?! He doesn't even teach normally! Ren felt like hitting his face over the desk of his, before Izumo chuckled with amusement as it goes same for everyone in the class.

ked off as well, she hates 'attractive' teachers and love seeing someone who get mocked in a wrong but harmless way; like why is the teacher has such a good taste of fashion that his expensive clothes are clearly shown?! Kaizo frowned, he hate this shit so bad that he want to become an ant instead. Ren really want the class to be taught by Mrs. Chandra instead because one; she's fun and two; she always plays the lesson like a game and his subject was like... a standard conversation! Or make an old meme go viral for 30 minutes, an interactive learning style.

"WHAT?! Isn't that... a guy from yesterday?"

It seems like Shūhei and Shiro's eyes widened to see a familiar teacher standing in front of the classroom, which made the MYP class students groaned in pain--let alone the DP students like Izumo, Raizo, Konami, and Hakuren are actually suffering like Ren was... the fact that they already saw his picture last night. Mr. Rudy smiled, looking like he has something in his mind. "Please, ignore whatever I will say about... your classes but I'm bored, thank you--for some reasons I'm fired," he said sheepishly.

Finally, the break starts! Ren just wanted to take a huge break and rest like usual--he wanted to join sports that MYP students has since the DP students like him also wanted to play basketball. He went to the locker room where he has his sport shirt and pants, it was alone and he felt a strange presence from the window when it was open... revealing a figure with long black coat with hood along a mask covering his mouth. Ren was about to take off his white t-shirt before the figure approach him, before he turn around and glared at him. "Alright, stop with the prank. Get out," he commanded sternly.

He expected him to obey--and he didn't. He was not listening as he slowly pinned him on the wall, which now he feels the danger vibe--panic mode on! Ren bumped his forehead to the figure and made the figure fell down. Ren has a forehead that is hard as a rock and yes, he slammed it against the figure and it hurts so much. "You don't look like a student, except for the tall-ass Kennedy who's from MYP and he's not here right now so... you better show yourself," he snapped, forcing the figure to take off his hood; letting his messy jet black hair released and fall on his own forehead--before he lifted the mask to reveal his pale but attractive face and dead blue eyes, staring at him intensely like a hawk.

It was... Mr. Rudy.

What the fuck is going on?!

"I'll only say this once, Riyanda," the figure, revealed himself as Rudy said in his deep and soft voice, standing up as he loomed over him before cupped his chin, pulling his face close to him and made him shrieked in fear--pushing him away from him. Ren can't let his arrhythmia relapsed, he knew panic will make it worse so he tried his best to stay calm. "You're a President of Student Council, right? I always wanted to 'bond' with a teacher, but it's rare for someone like you--I'm intrigued to your selflessness. So why bother about it, if you refuse; your friends will get involved in this shit," he continued while tilting his head.

Ren still had no idea what the fuck is this teacher talking about, what kind of teacher who talk like that--especially when he's a GUY. Is this man knows him, if it is, how he ever encounter him?! Now, it would be normal for male and female teachers to accidentally saw their students' clothing body--but a same gender teacher and student? EW! Why him?! "What the fuck?! What did my friends do?! W-Wait, how do you even known about me?!" he questioned, stepping back while feeling his heart beat faster and struggled to take a normal pace and control. But, he realized something.

"Riyanda, I've known you when you're in your previous school... you were bullied because you're Chinese-Indonesian, I was the one who made you feel better that day and convinced you to leave the school; no matter how powerful that school was," the teacher explained with a smile, now this makes sense. Ren narrowed his eyes, before he hummed. "Thanks... I guess? I didn't have a chance to talk to you properly thatday, but I do remember your words... sorry, but I have no time to bond or whatever but thank you. I won't be afraid if you tell the students, I don't care because I changed after the accident that made me have a health issue in my body..."

Ren paused when his teacher suddenly grabbed his wrists, pinning him against the locker with his other hand on his waist! Okay, so let's get a second thought to this guys--this shit is wrong and disgusting! His teacher was creepy as hell that he swore he nearly shit himself, suddenly the teacher almost kiss his neck... making Ren froze in shock of what the teacher did. Did he... just fucking molested him with the seduction as well?! "S-Stop! You're not supposed to do this! Think of the students who sees this--" he was cut off as he felt the force against his lips, too soft and gentle...

"No... please stop..."

Few hours later...

Kaizo yawned after he just finished the basketball session, he wondered why Ren didn't come earlier than before--that's when he went to the locker room and he saw the door was opened. He narrowed his eyes, before he entered the locker room and much to his surprise... he saw Ren was leaning against the locker--shaken from the disturbing event, his pants were pulled down and his skin was pale like a white as sheet. "Oh God, are you okay?!" he asked as he approached the Chinese-Indonesian who just sitting there, tears were trailing down his cheeks as he look down--his olive-blue eyes were shaken with the black pupils dilated. "K-Kaizo... c-can you... just called the ambulance please? I think I have my heart attack again..." Ren's voice was like he was drowned in the waters, almost stuttering from the psychological trauma.

Izumo entered inside as his eyes widened, gasping from seeing his friend got traumatized of what the hell happened to him in the locker room?! "Ren, snap out of it--he's not here anymore and everything's fine," he said, fixing his pants carefully and he glanced at Hakuren who waited outside. "Haku! Call the ambulance! Ren is not okay, he only needs some hospital care right now," he ordered, Kaizo nodded as he then turned to see Ren.

He was not moving at all, even he felt like so limp and quiet--not moving. "Shit, tell the teachers or security officer to keep a lookout of the locker room! I don't know what has been happening here but once I found it out, I'll kick that son of the bitch's ass so hard and exposed him so hard!" Izumo declared, while Kaizo helped him and Hakuren got the security officer from outside. She ran along the path that was surrounded by the track field and basketball court, ignoring the confused students and teachers' call. Kaizo looked down to see his pants has been torn--already realized that he was at the locker room.

'He was... molested by him.'

Shiro was standing with Konami, Shiro was the first one that enter in the locker room before he stopped. "Ren, is everything--" Konami was about to question, before she noticed what happened and froze--her magenta-red eyes shrunk. Shūhei was petrified to see what happened to Ren, holy shit--this is serious than he ever imagine! After the ambulance finally arrived, they quickly took him to the nearest hospital and keep the whole mess under control. "Keep an eye on that Mr. Rudy guy," Kaizo whispered, Hakuren nodded as she then patted his back. "Don't worry, Izumo and I will handle this bastard."

Two weeks later...

In the hospital, Ren survived--but the incident made him... felt completely traumatized. He's not sure if he can get over it because he knew he'll never understand that because never in his life this happened, not in his life. Kaizo watched him sniffling, before he glanced at the teachers who came into the patient's room. "Ah, looks like you're all okay now, thank God..." Mrs. Chandra sighed of relief, it seems like all of the teachers have noticed Ren's health is almost weak. "Mrs. Chandra... Ren just got molested by Mr. Rudy... we tried to find him and he disappears," Hakuren explained in a low voice as she can, it makes Mrs. Chandra aghast of such horrendous news. Mr. Satriya growled, he couldn't believe the Student Council President got molested by this predator teacher--what kind of teacher did that to his own student?!

"Goddamn it... we have to kick him out."

Izumo was soothing his back to keep him relax and still, and he was not sure if this will succeed in letting his heartbeat be in sync. Ren couldn't understand why he ever let someone do this to him, especially it was one of his teacher he has. "Can we like... take a break and not enter the Student Council for some weeks? It doesn't have any applications anyway, even though we can still continue our investigation..." Hakuren muttered, but she slowly realized that none of the female students were involved. "I'm a guy, damn it... why did he do this...?" Ren whimpered, still wondering why his heart rate is going chaotic and he still get shaken from the touch of his.

Mrs. Chandra tried to ask him how did that happen carefully, so Ren explained the details to them. It made her shocked by the result, which made them angered at what Mr. Rudy did to him. "He... came into the locker room... he even said he wanted to bond with me while pinning me to the locker and said a shit to me, how do I escape...? Then... he undid my pants... and... rubbed that part... until I felt numb..." Ren started to have tears in his eyes, Izumo pursed his lips, Hakuren had no words to say... Kaizo also doesn't understand about what he said, and he'll try to help. "Did he uhm... tried to force himself on you?" Mr. Satriya asked.

Ren shake his head no, thankfully he didn't--but still hurt because Ren might go insane. He feel ashamed and scared at the same time. "Good lord... am I the only one having a strange dream and weird feelings? I told you guys this is the strange reason I told you and that's why I couldn't explain why was that teacher looks so familiar and now I realized what he meant from his words..." Izumo explained, making both Kaizo and Hakuren blinked from this sudden comment. "I think it's not just you, it's happened too much."

Kaizo said, telling them the strange dreams that happened to everyone--including him. "I'm so sorry Riyanda..." Mrs. Chandra apologized, she feel bad that her student became so troubled from the incident that happened because... if one person is gone from the group, she knew she had to put his responsibility in Hakuren's, Kaizo's and Izumo's shoulder, but she hopes they'll be still fine in protecting and keeping Shūhei and Shiro safe along Konami. "If I hadn't left two weeks ago, our students will still okay..."

"No... it's not your fault Mrs. Chandra, but rather Mr. Rudy was the only fucking culprit who took the advantage. Tch, did that asshole knows him or whatsoever...?"

Ren muttered, Hakuren frowned before she walked closer to the hospital bed, waiting for a permission to give a hug and told him something which he complied and they cuddled together--that makes Kaizo realized something as Mrs. Chandra looked back. "Let's check the CCTV and monitor the school, Ren--you can go home with your friends, they will help you move out with you to somewhere else, just... be with a few friends and don't make it suspicious. That way, we'll lure him out," she whispered.

Ren tried to ignore his anxiety, wondering why is his heart never stays normal and calm, even hearing voices of... Nanda was worrying out for him. How long he has been hearing her voice? Where's that God of Wealth who always teasing and making fun of him? To be honest, those dreams that he and his friend encounter are something... new for him.
